Andy Kaufman's Magic Screen This blew my mind when I was a kid. Not that it was magic, but how into it he was and how he was getting away with having something so ridiculous on TV.

But Sky Blue Sky is terrific. I thought A Ghost Is Born was recorded like that too. I recall Tweedy saying he wanted to capture the sound of a band in a room just playing.

I think this clip speaks to his impact here in Boston - . I was at this.

Fantastic.

Keep at it!

Is that an actual shot of Two Girls One Cup? I never dared watch...

The elderly Jedi version, actually.

And that live performance video is brilliant.

My adulation is out of control - I just can't hear that Pedro's career is over. It's killing me. My favorite athlete ever.

Married To The Mob - Damned Silence of the Lambs, cuz I'd love to call this Demme at his best. Reminded me all over again why I carried a picture of Michelle Pfieffer in my wallet in 1988 and told anyone who'd listen that she was my wife. Loony, zany, madcap fun. And Matthew Modine kills his shit in this. Kills it.

Awesome.

I saw them once at an outdoor show in 1990 - one of the most fun shows I've ever been to, still.

I love that tune - maybe because I love all those Achtung Baby singles.

I don't know if this can be considered 'good news for U2 fans'... U2 bringing Spider-Man musical to Broadway I hope this is a put-on.

Speaking of... Dodgers make two-year, $45 million offer to Manny Ramirez

Pedro in a Pirates uni. Man, I may just have to buy a shirt if that happens.

Either way it's light years better than that LOVE shite.

I'm watching BASEBALL!!!!!

Right on, Doctor B. All the best. It's a hell of a song. Please Be Patient With Me I should warn you When I’m not well I can’t tell Oh, there’s nothing I can do To make this easier for you You’re gonna need to be patient with me I’m this apple, this happening stone When I’m alone Oh, but my blessings get so blurred At the sound of your words I’m gonna need you to be patient with me How can I warn you when my tongue turns to dust Like we’ve discussed It doesn’t mean that I don’t care It means I’m partially there You’re gonna need to be patient with me

Happy Birthday to the Dark Horse, btw.

Instant album title and cover design.

I was thinking that too - I actually bought their first record.

Sounds odd to hear that the real, original band is lacking something. Either way I'm skeptical on this.

Josh Beckett is not packing a loaf of dough in his waist like he was last spring. I wonder if that will make any difference.
