  1. *Yay* Psst... Tix for these two dates go on sale tomorrow morning EST @ 10:00 AM via Ticketmaster. Good hunting folks.
  2. Neil Young seems a very appropriate guest for C.O.'s final Tonight Show musical guest. I hope they both let it all hang out.
  3. $1995 at Rumble Seat right now *sigh*.
  4. The best thing about this is a segment in the special features which showcases Edge's soundcheck, during which he works his way through "Bad'. Overall...meh. Blind Date starring Stanley Tucci and Patricia Clarkson. I really loved this a lot. It's rather darkly themed. A married couple in distress after the death of their daughter and their rather unorthodox efforts to re-engage with one another. Tucci directs and co-wrote this. They both deliver great performances.
  5. I'm curious as to how the rest of you guys feel about Conan's first year as Tonight Show host. As a big fan of his old Late Night gig I'm a little disappointed in the content and style of his new show. I know it's geared for a different audience, a larger demographic, and that there are a great many factors therein to consider. I feels "cluncky" to me. It's hard to describe really. Back in the old days when he was struggling at Late Night there was still a spark to the material that they seem to have misplaced... ( full disclosure: I was never a fan of Leno. Ever.) Additionally, I think Fa
  6. Don't be. It's pretty fantastic. I like the way the choir is basically used as an instrument unto itself adding phrasing and colorations to the arrangements. Duke Pearson's "Cristo Redentor" is worth the price of admission alone. NP:
  7. Tell you what, I love IJ so much and my enthusiasm so great at the prospect of another falling under it's spell that I hereby offer to send you my dog eared, paperback copy ( the one w/out the highlighted passages!). Besides, I just dig the idea of passing it along... NR:
  8. I couldn't get through it. The setting was too bleak, too dystopian. Never had a real chance to get invested in the characters. Loved this, Loved it! This thing is like candy, instant gratification. "Here's the bad guys, and why you should hate them. Here's our flawed heros and why you should pull for 'em. Here is the premise, interesting isn't it? Here's the moment that, even though you know it's coming still evokes a little 'eeep' outta you when it happens! Here's the conclusion: satisfying huh"? It's right up there w/ Jackie Brown as my fav. Tarantino flick.
  9. Shoot! I forgot about that...that was brilliant.
  10. There was one skit, two weeks back, that was probably the best thing I'd seen on SNL in years. Jason Sudeikis plays a southern gentelman, dressed in a plaid-ish suit sporting a gray wig and goatee looking and sounding vaguely like Col. Harland Sanders. He in the middle of an interview at the Johnson Space Center circa 1970 something. He sits across a desk from Will Forte who is conducting the interview. Forte wears a stringy wig and short sleeved button down shirt, pens in the breast pocket. The office is wood paneled and there's a window behind Forte. There's a bowl of potato chips on the des
  11. Those pics are fantastic. Thanks for sharing.
  12. I zig where you zag: I'm digging Actor more, I think, because she's taking more chances here and being more discordant/ getting away from melody. P.S. Kyle: Great to see Brakes and Twilight Sad so high on your list.
  13. Back to back shows in C,ville at the newly re-opened Jefferson. "Two night stand". My ears...my ears !
