Brian Cox
I actually think many of his characters are actually the same person. I mean "They're not human, you know" could be a direct quote from one of the X-Men movies.

looks like Nabin
Got paraphrased by Ebert this weekend: http://rogerebert.suntimes….

Souvlaki is incredible, absolutely. But there is no way that it's not hugely indebted to both Nowhere and Loveless, which I would claim as the "pillars." but I guess nobody said there couldn't be three pillars…

2011: The year of the reissue?
I'm pumped this one's out (though I guess it was a 1990 release) but, along with Loveless (that's inevitable, right?), I'm personally excited for the Screamadelica reissue. Yeah, NME blah blah blah, but I'll be damned if that's not one of the top 10 best of '91.

late night Back to the Future at the Tivoli was one of those, for me.

so who knew…
Heller was going to mention Jawbreaker?

Screw that. If Inception's score can get nominated from clearly interpolating "Non, Je Ne Regrette Rien," The Kings' Speech can use Beethoven's 7th in the movie's CLIMAX, and The Social Network can include a rendition of "In The Hall of the Mountain King," why, exactly, did Carter Burwell's score for True Grit and…

guys…guys…what about Eamon's classic hit "Fuck It (I Don't Want You Back)" from way back in 2004? http://www.youtube.com/watc…

it's his ghost face.

This is Overrated
I just don't really like "This Is Happening?" I mean, it has two or three GREAT songs (I'm on the fence about "All I Want") but it's just…soulless. I think I'd like the live in "London Sessions" release more. But as I paid for "TIH," I don't want to drop another 10 bucks on something that I'm really…

How do you find a word that means Maria?

the race was for the US House of Representatives (NC 4th district) not for the NC State Senate. Just to let you know.

easily the best episode of Glee I've seen in a while. the subtle moments were great - particularly the way they handled kurt's feelings and his actions, though without making him a sort of villain. rather, it was just from the perspective of a lonely gay kid who just doesn't know how to act.

Bows + Arrows
It took me the better part of a year, maybe even a year and a half, to fall in love with that record. I was maybe in the 8th grade (what??) when I bought it and I just couldn't connect with it but now it's one I continue to return to.

before this record
I'd pretty much only heard "Slack Motherfucker" and then was really taken by their Undercover performance. After seeing that, I was looking forward to the record. Last week, I reviewed it for my campus radio station and have been just blown away - it'll be in heavy rotation for quite a while, as…

one of the strangest out-of-context channel surfing experiences i've ever had.

The rhinoceros
at the beginning of the film used to scare the pants off of me. He was a cloud! or something.
