"Acid Bird" and "52 Stations" are both in my top 10 (probably top 5) Robyn Hitchcock songs, but they never get a mention in the same way that "Balloon Man" or "Madonna of the Wasps" do. Good to see someone else represent!

"Invisible Hitchcock" has my favorite non-Soft Boys song on it: "A Skull, a Suitcase, and a Long Red Bottle of Wine." Great cover art, too.

"The Boat That Rocked - Again!"

Every time they've called Ian Curtis, he's hung up.

Before this article, I didn't realize "Keep on Loving You" and "Can't Fight This Feeling" were two separate songs. I'm still not sure I can tell them apart (title lines aside), but at least now I know they're not the same song (more or less).

I Don't, I Don't, I Don't, I Don't, I Don't

Does "His Eye is on the Sparrow" even count as a new song? It's not like Sly Stone wrote it.

"Distortion" in theory >>>>>> "Distortion" in practice. Go backwards. My personal favorite is "Get Lost," but "Holiday" and "The Charm of the Highway Strip" are just as strong. Then on to "Distant Plastic Trees/The Wayward Bus" (the first two albums are combined on one disc), which is sort of embryonic Magnetic Fields…

I guess that's why Sean chose to hide under a pen name for this one.

"Crime After Crime" was my least-favorite song.

Law vs Order
I thought "law" referred to the DAs and "order" to the cops. In which case, Criminal Intent post-Vance would be all "Order" all the time.

JLG
I saw her last night in Jean-Luc Godard's new movie "Film Socialisme." Or about 6 seconds of her, anyway.

"Sleeping Beauty" seems to have the same premise as the German film "House of the Sleeping Beauties," only told from the woman's POV instead of the man's.

@drdarkeny - You mean a "Hot Foreign Chick" who was born in Canada and grew up in Illinois?

Also, Illeana Douglas spent the '70s in grade school. She was with Scorsese in the '90s.

Yes, the '80s, when Ohio was briefly part of the United Kingdom.

They are if they're middle-aged.

I've seen "Insidious," and I have no clue what "Insidious Is" is supposed to mean. It certainly doesn't come up in the movie itself. I think it's just the product of an overworked marketing guy who stared at the word "insidious" a bit too long and just gave up.

Yeah, I think Nathan's being a little too kind here based on Pegg & Frost's back catalogue. I'd put this in the C range. There're no jokes here you haven't seen/heard before, and the character of Paul is irritatingly Poochie-esque. What saves it is the chemistry between the actors and the fact that most of them are…
