One thing about the onset of digital music being everywhere is that a lot of people might not even realize what the album cover looks like, let alone ever read liner notes.

The funny thing is that I'll go over to people's homes to this day and there's people with a giant collection of films ranging from okay to really crappy films on DVD in their living room who basically collected them through that way from Columbia House. My friend's fiancee did that in college over a decade ago, but…

Psalm 69, Cypress Hill(1st album), Bob Marley- Legend, Bob Dylan's Greatest Hits, Sailing the Seas of Cheese, Grave Dancers Union, Aerosmith - Get A Grip, and one other—but I think that was the first eight albums of many I ordered.

Aerosmith "Get A Grip" used to be a staple in used record bins many with the produced by Columbia House marker on the back.

I went crazy with the Columbia House/BMG deals as a 13-year-old, using family, pet, and fake names to start as many subscriptions for the initial 8 CDs as possible. Then my mom caught, me and tried to teach me a lesson about financial responsibility, by having me write letters to Columbia House and BMG explaining…

I got the damn clean version of Black Sunday too, they changed "When the Shit Goes Down" to "When the Ship Goes Down" and removed the song "A to the K".

This movie was always on cable in the last couple summers before I started college in the late 90s, thus it's one of those movies where I've seen pieces of it over and over, but I've never sat down to actually watch all the way through. Some slightly enjoyable scenes, but I can't remember that much about it at this…

The script had black cherry notes with a rich and woodsy almost spicy, floral aftertaste with just a hint of licorice, but the tannins were a bit much and it was a little too fruit-forward for my palate.

They supposedly also found an "original" Empire Strikes Back script where the ice planet Hoth is described as slightly colder than Edmonton but not as cold as Yellowknife.

Except for Die Another Day none of the Brosnan films are really that bad. The first two are fairly good Bond films, and The World Is Not Enough has good parts to it, but sort of sinks in other ways.

If it was released in the 70s, it might have been PG.

I remember Freshman year of college we used to drink a lot of "the beast". The same year I went to Milwaukee for a wedding and went to the Miller brewery for a tour and the guide actually referenced that Milwaukee's Best was popular among college students because of how cheap it was. Just straight piss water, but…

I grew up in coastal California so street skateboarding was pretty popular at least among my peer group in the mid-90s—but I remember that skateboarding seemed to grow in national popularity by the end of the decade. I remember being at the X Games in 1999 when Tony Hawk landed a 900, which seemed pretty big at the…

Hopefully we're close to getting the crazy high tech virtual reality world predicted by the film The Lawnmower Man back in 1992.

Wow, she was in probably half of the movies I'd watch non-stop in the late 80s.
