This is becoming an unbridled night mare.

I'm fawning all over your pun.

Spielberg really bet on the wrong horse. Also, War Horse joke of some kind.

It cannot be overstated how amazing Roar is. The trailer is only the tip of the iceberg. It must be seen with as large an audience as possible. I loved Mad Max: Fury Road, but Roar was the greater movie-going experience. It is entertaining on at least six different levels.

E for effort, Internet!

I stumbled upon Soulwax around 98 or 99 as part of the Tower listening station. They had an album "Much Against Everyone's Advice" that was mostly alt-rock and power pop. Every other song sounded like a great homage to someone else's record of the time (a Jeff Buckley rip, a Blur rip, some basic Beckisms). I always…

If you haven't seen it, go watch the Col. Bruce documentary straight-away. He's one of the coolest people of all time.

They just released a multi-tracked source of 12/16/99, which has a phenomenal Tweezer. I'm not a huge fan of '99 overall, but every note of that particular version is perfect.

One thing is for absolute sure… Rock Of Ages is better than The Last Waltz.

Yeah, the Freebird choice is interesting because, as much as I like early Skynyrd, One From The Road feels like the embodiment of the perfunctory 70s live rock album. The performances are all strong, but are essentially "Greatest Hits Played Faster" (tip of the hat to David Lowery).

Stop Making Sense is obviously one of the greatest things ever, but wasn't it pretty heavily tweaked in the studio after the fact? "Rock & Roll All Nite" on this list is the greater offender, for sure. I'm not sure how much of that is live at all.

The Dead and Phish would be subject to the reverse… which studio recordings are superior to their live takes.

Wait… Noel Murray's back? That's cause for celebration right there.

I haven't seen The Jinx yet, but the way people apparently freaked out at the ending… that's exactly how Thin Blue Line made me feel when I saw it in college nearly 20 years ago. God bless, Errol Morris.

Classic A.V. Club right there… shame The Dissolve couldn't have taken the music dept. with them.

Every Hartman moment in that episode is perfect, but my personal favorite is "He's some sort of enforcer, right? Well that I will not stand for. Bring that goon unto me, Dave. " Best line reading in the history of line readings.

Hope for your sake the rumors are false. While I have no doubt that seeing Prince in a small club (like the bootleg!) would be life-altering, he can be witnessed in any size venue and it's worth it. It would be a drag if he's booking small rooms. It's nice, I guess, when artists like him or McCartney surprise people…

I saw a Hit N' Run show back in 2003 in Nashville. He played a small arena, so it wasn't difficult to get tickets. Granted, his legend justifiably grows with each year, but unless he's doing a small venue (unlikely), your chances are probably pretty good.

I agree with the sentiment, but in this case I genuinely believe that Trip Shakespeare possessed several "untapped gems." Like their West Coast counterparts Jellyfish, they were pop scholars who knew how to craft a hook and deliver a powerhouse show. And Dan Wilson's massive success as a songwriter-for-hire (not to…

This is a strange sentence to type, but I mean it with 100% sincerity…
