No more than any other teenager. I don't really know why we started calling him that. At some point about 10-15 years or so ago, he announced that the next person who used that sobriquet would be killed, so it's kind of gone out of style.

I imagine it's a good album, but I'm just not in the right mood for it.

Whatever sistersooie's naughty nickname was, it cannot be as bad the one we hung on a kid in high school - Rimjob.

I thought Funeral was a great album. Haven't bit yet on Neon Bible.

Are you any relation to the Psychedelic Furs? If so, tell them bjorn says hi!

If there's one thing my iPod nano will NEVER do, that is play Feist.

And so he should. He is a fine American who deserves everything he gets. If was rich, I would buy him a Studebaker Dictator.

Dude, neither Wilco nor Sigur Ros are the Rolling Stones. They are people trying to make a living providing something we all enjoy. If in one of the cases that involves making some $ on the side by licensing their songs, then I really don't have a problem with that. Any discomfort I may have felt at the VW ads is far outweighed by the enjoyment I get from listening to their music and posting all this blah-blah-blah on a message board for which they are the organizing principle. I like to get paid, too. There are many fine things about the punk-rock ethos, but to say artists must consistently d

Shit! I was going to get one of those tonight but I got chili instead!

I have a Tree of Gondor tattoo.

It sounds akin to something they have in New Mexico - green chile stew. That dish is made with potatoes and pork. This sounds about right. Serves 8 3 tablespoons vegetable oil 1 1/2 pounds beef sirloin or pork butt, cut in 1-inch cubes 1 1/2 cups diced onion 1 tablespoon minced garlic 6 cups chicken or beef broth 1 pound red or white potatoes, cut in 1/2 to 3/4-inch cubes 2 to 3 teaspoons salt, to taste 3 cups roasted, peeled, chopped green chile or to taste 3 tablespoons diced red bell pepper 2 tablespoons chopped cilantro, to taste Heat the oil in a 6-quart pot over high heat and bro

Finally, we got a place in town that makes a decent NYC-style slice of pizza.

Whenever I don't have cable, I feel like I have been drummed out of the middle class. It's not a feeling I like.

I like the cut of your jib. Another One Bites the Dust?

Woot! One of the greatest.

I will let Mr. Bangs defend the artistic merit of Black Sabbath: http://www.creemmagazine.com/_site/BeatGoe...otherPt001.html

Yes!

I remember that it used a Salt n Pepa song.

Sorry, L. I was kind of baffled, actually, because I always thought Frank Miller was of the revolutionary kind.

In my view, 300 was the greatest cinematic love poem to fascism since Triumph of the Will.

I'm kind of with you on the Lips. For me, it's sort of like a Tori Amos/Kate Bush relationship. Why listen to a not-nearly-as-talented knockoff when I have plenty of Pink Floyd albums at home?

Despite what I just wrote, I think OK Computer was the best album of the '90s.
