"That's quite a firm grip ya got there, lil' fella."

"Oooh! A penny!"

REM edges out Husker Du by a nose. If I had to pick an "other" it'd be Game Theory.

Agreed. Post-Beatles Sir Paul can't even finish a song properly - mostly they just dribble off into nothing (see: Maybe I'm Amazed).

I've been on a reissues kick lately:

The turkey one - photoshop a dirty blond wig and a pair of oversize grandma sunglasses and you have:

Sadly, recent pics of Tyler remind me of Speed Racer's avatar.

Done

just as long as this thread doesn't devolve into a discussion of the definition and usage of "arsed".

faux? wait, that's already a word (fits, though)

Clash- The Cost of Living EP Pixies - Come on Pilgrim REM - Chronic Town Big Dipper - Boo-Boo Billy Bragg - Life's a Riot with Spy vs Spy

Figures they'd wait until after the cash-for-clunkers program ended. Otherwise, I'd be all over this.

He also introduced rubber bands as a fashion accessory (sorry Keef, I think Captain Lou was first)

Looks like a Spring 2010 tour of the South after all!! Wilco, the hugely popular alt/country band, will perform in Savannah March 25 as part of the 2010 Savannah Music Festival, March 18-April 3.

I (almost) hate to say it, but at this point I think Bono's more deserving of the Peace Prize than Obama.

Must've been a slow year for peace.

I always picture Kafka's The Metamorphosis ie. a cockroach carrying an egg case - a metaphor for the pressures of family, the listening public, band-mates, other responsibilities, etc etc. Not that I would claim that's what the song is about.

I also went one year as anti-Martha Stewart. I wore a dirty blond wig and lots of flannel and carried a wicker basket full of crappy handmade party favors which I distributed to party guests - figurines made out of rusty nails, scrap wood, and spray paint holding post-it signs that read "piss off", "bite me", etc. etc. I drank and swore a lot, too.

Couple of years ago I dressed up as the John 3:16 Guy. All you need is a rainbow afro wig, beard (which I already had), white tee shirt w/ "John 3:16" written in fat black sharpie, and a shameless craving for attention.

I agree mostly - altho his caveman lawyer sketches were as unfunny as anything mentioned so far in this thread. Jim Brewer - If you need someone to make a drunken frat guy face then he's your go-to guy. otherwise...

but '86 was an awesome year for music videos

The Nick Drake catalogue for some full-on wallowing

I remember reading somewhere that the cash register heard at the beginning of Pink Floyd's Money is the same one that was used on Yellow Submarine.

shame it doesn't come with a can of lighter fluid & matches.
