Have you ever noticed that if you name a child John Wayne Lastname, you're guaranteed to end up with a serial killer?

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.

The generation that could change the world is still looking for its car keys.

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.

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.
White Album = bestest Beatles album evah.

You always do this. We get tipsy, and you take advantage of my love of the scientific method.
I would agree except for the thing where they spend ten minutes saying "Number 9" over and over.

What else besides ramen can you scoop? YOU CAN SCOOP THIS WORLD FROM DARKNESS!
Speaking of the Beatles, Of Montreal's latest CD, Satanic Panic in the Attic, is good stuff. More electronic than their older stuff (a download of "Disconnect the Dots" or "Sad Love" (which ends up remixed, re-recorded, and retitled on the CD) will show you what I mean), but Kevin Barnes still comes up with interesting, entertaining melodies and wacky lyrics. I haven't listened to them closely yet, but a perusal tells me some are even more bizarre than usual, complete with pop-culture references like "You hit me so hard like a Wong Kar Wai beginning."

That song was never on that album. It was... a pressing mistake. Yeah, that's it.
