Oh, the classic hipster trifecta: Radiohead, LCD Soundsystem, and Lionel Richie.

Funny enough, I'm actually about to get rid of a set of Martha Washington comics. I inherited them from someone who was obviously a Frank Miller fanboy. While I appreciated his stuff like DKR and Sin City, I don't recall much of anything from Martha Washington. I can't say that's a criticism per se, but it didn't…

Man, I loved Insomniac. I always wondered if Dave Attell just walked away from that show and his new-found fame, or if something else happened to him. (Addiction or health issues?) He fell way off the radar after that.

I never quite figured out how he became as good as he was in DKR. I was always a big fan of the first Wolverine miniseries, and his art in that is at times brilliant, and at other times kind of sloppy. I don't know if it was the heavy inks that forgave some of his linework, or being able to abandon the Marvel house…

If anything, I kind of wish more comics would adopt the strict panel grid layout that DKR used. Reading this around the time that Image was first starting up (well, maybe a couple of years before then), it was astonishing just how much STORY you could put into an issue (deluxe-sized or not). Then, when you did get…

"Punitive punishments"? Like some sort of torture using wet water?

Yes. I've seen some people attribute him as being formative for the 90's grunge/alternative scene, which I think stems solely from the Nirvana cover of TMWSTW. His method of composition is so much weirder than the pop music he was a contemporary of—chord progressions don't make "sense", lyrics are obtuse—it's pretty…

I basically ran the full chronology, and bought the albums I was still missing (the 80's stuff, and his debut). The body of work is pretty astonishing when you go through everything like that.

Totally. I wish Rick had done more as a solo act, or contributed more to the post-Waters PF before the Division Bell. Of all of the very distinct personalities that were in the band, I find Wright to strangely be the most compelling in some ways.

Anyone else love the f*ck out of the training montage music in Rocky IV at the time? Truly, there was no better music to skateboard in circles on the driveway to.

2061, not 2050…

The first song I thought of. Apt band description, too. Though I think Rick didn't do himself any favors between his drug use, writer's block, and insistence in being listed as a "producer" for the Wall. I'm a big fan of his stuff, even solo, but even as much as Roger may have been a bully, I think Rick probably…

Two Suns in the Sunset - Pink Floyd

…wellllll, except for the infidelity and drugs that Zak partook of last night. I guess it's a sliding scale of scuminess that somehow makes Zak look like a choirboy compared to Richie.

That honestly wouldn't be a half-bad ending. For all of the obvious "this was REAL music, maaan" vibe running through the show, I'm sure that banking on Anne Murray in 1973 was a much better bet than banking on the Nasty Bits. And I think it would almost be a more interesting angle to see the easy listening artists…

I agree, the Elvis part was good, and the actor that played him did a good job. It was also a nice change to not have Richie be in his wild-eyed coked-out mania for a few minutes. The way it's been going, it's been harder and harder to imagine the guy was EVER a successful businessman/husband. This at least gave…

It seems like sometime recently Life On Mars? emerged as maybe Bowie's signature song. When I was first discovering him in the mid-90's, and picked up the ChangesBowie disc, it wasn't even significant enough to be featured—the first I'd heard it was when I finally got around to picking up Hunky Dory. Now, between…

I really like the thought of KISS being capable of having a "Judas!" moment, a la Dylan. It's amusing to think they were even capable of betraying their fans at all, as they were so committed to just SELLING themselves to begin with. But I think the comparison is apt, especially considering the other discussions in…

This looks delightful. I'm in.

This is the first I've heard Big Time described as being about Phil Collins. Is there any support to this? I just thought it was a parody of 80's capitalism. Peter Gabriel doesn't seem the type to go for sniping at ex-bandmates in his songs.
