Nels Cline's lack of involvement with the last album

"I'm Still Here" is "just a movie... a performance"
bjorn_skurj replied to PopTodd's topic in Tongue-Tied Lightning
Andy Kaufman was fucking funny. Joaquin is a decent actor, but not really funny. (Believe me, I have seen far funnier stoned people than that cat.) I am not saying art should take a vacation during a recession. I am saying shitty art should take a vacation, permanently. -

Yes, and see no reason to alter what I wrote. I will even add that in a country where people are fucking starving to death and facing a lifetime of unemployment, Phoenix should be grateful he gets jobs and maybe bear less of a grudge against the people who keep him famous so he can continue to get jobs. Both he and Casey Affleck think they're making some sort of bold statement against something, but they are just a pair of shallow, poorly educated wankholes. -

What a horse's ass. No one should pay to see this display of flagrant narcissism and assholianism, nor should anyone waste a single second of their lives on it. I am sorry the kid had parents who thought it was OK to belong to a child sex cult, thus fucking him and his siblings up for life, but honestly, I do not see why hard-working Americans should be bothered with this foolishness. -

I hope you didn't listen to it via some low-bitrate mp3's before forming your opinion.

tax cuts for rich vs. middle class
bjorn_skurj replied to Vacant Horizon's topic in Tongue-Tied Lightning
This essay, brought to my attention by my brother editor, is blowing my mind like YHF. AND I WOULD SHARE IT WITH YOU IF THIS BOARD WOULD ALLOW ME TO UPLOAD A PDF. Jesus, the shit I have to go through to spread enlightenment. https://www.yousendit.com/download/UFVxQk13NDRUWUN4dnc9PQ -

Yup. There's no substitute for quality, and on the other end of the scale, the Beetle was an extremely successful product. -

I think we should send some dudes to Germany - maybe that Austan Googleberry cat - to see how they are doing it, and do what they are doing. Somehow, they have socialized medicine, instituted by Otto von Fucking Bismarck of all people, took a tremendous hit when they had to re-integrate East Germany into their economic system and are apparently the only un-broke economy in the EU. (And this from the country that bred Karl Marx AND Friedrich Engels!) They gotta be doing something right. -

No kidding - the money aside, that's two hours of your life you'll never get back. -

As you are now a dad, it would not be responsible of me to suggest you drink a whole bottle of Robitussin DM before going into the theater. But I wish I had. -
Heard this on the radio today - very very good.

Just don't start trying to prove Maroon 5 didn't always suck, or I will have to refute you. -
I nominate Ivan Nova for the 2010 Best Rookie With a Science-Fiction Name Award.

Studio Dead is largely ignored, but "Shakedown Street" is a really good single.
