Oh, crap. I'll never get on a plane again without humming "by Erma Bombeck" to that tune.
Wash: Little River just gets more colorful by the moment. What'll she do next? Zoe: Either blow us all up or rub soup in our hair. It's a toss-up. Wash: I hope she does the soup thing. It's always a hoot, and we don't all die from it.

Buffista Music II: Wrath of Chaka Khan
There's a lady plays her fav'rite records/On the jukebox ev'ry day/All day long she plays the same old songs/And she believes the things that they say/She sings along with all the saddest songs/And she believes the stories are real/She lets the music dictate the way that she feels.

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.
A Salon article about the 20th anniversary of the release of Hüsker Dü's Zen Arcade. The article is kinda' annoying, though (I take exception to the way the writer disparages Nirvana and The Velvet Underground). But still, it's nice to see Zen Arcade recognized as one of the best and most important rock albums ever.

"Look, son, if it's good enough for Shirley Bassey, it's good enough for you."
But still, it's nice to see Zen Arcade recognized as one of the best and most important rock albums ever.
"Turn on the News" - a definite contender for rockingest rock song ever.
When I think of Zen Arcade I have the image of sticking my head into a jet engine. But in a good way. Not the bad way that winds up with me being incinerated and chewed up in the turbines.

The generation that could change the world is still looking for its car keys.
Have you ever noticed that if you name a child John Wayne Lastname, you're guaranteed to end up with a serial killer?

A turkey in every toilet -- only in America!
Patrick Smith should stick to piloting. Azerrad's take on the Huskers is a much better read.

with a gleam in my eye, and an almost airtight alibi
Joe -- I saw it, but didn't make the NewsRadio connection. I'll be darned.
Hayden -- have you seen the Shins video in which they reenact the covers of various alt-rock classics?

Ficht nicht mit Der Raketemensch!
Hec - I've never heard early Vox, but they're becoming The Name To Drop over here at the moment.
Sadly, my wife has declared Thelonious, Miles, and Lemmy off-limits for kids' names.
My old boss's sons were called Louis and Dexter. Which are both respectable names...
And Hec, if you think that Blur (with whom I admit I have personal Issues, but still) are even the same species as Pulp, you crazy.
I got all the Beatles albums this week. I'd forgotten just how awesome they really are.

Did you get 'em in that nifty rolltop box? I picked up the set on eBay last year and it is very cool.

I wish. No, I downloaded them (on the grounds that I have vinyl copies of them all, so you can't touch me, Allan Klein!). I will buy the box - it's like Shakespeare, you gotta have it - but I can't afford it right now.
Anyway, The White Album is where I am right now. Yesterday was Revolver on continual repeat.
