I forgot Hell in the Pacific, which is awesome. Also Bad Day at Black Rock, mentioned below.

More Lee Marvin essentials:

That movie is awesome.

Yeah, I read the NY Times review of this the other day and immediately added it to my Netflix queue. It sounds like a lot of fun, and Charles Burns' participation in particular is intriguing.

Did anyone else outgrow TMBG shortly after high school? I still respect the guys (because, c'mon, they wrote "Ana Ng" and "Birdhouse in Your Soul" and…), but I haven't felt the need to listen to them in years.

But School of Rock was, um, awesome. Seriously.

I'm pretty sure it ended with Mohr *dying* - the time of death was 9:59 EST, or whatever the ending time for the show was.

That front page photo makes him look like…
…THE STRONGEST MAAAN …. IN THE WORLD!!!

Okay, I'll give that Sevotion one a spin, then work my way backwards from there. And I'll probably check out Supper, too, since I've heard a good chunk of that one and liked it a lot.

What's the best starting point with Smog? I've liked everything I've heard by Callahan, and love the "solo" album he released last year - though I seem to be in the minority on that.

Yes, yes, yes, yes, and yes.

Yeah, that's a terrific album, and I thought Bright Ideas was pretty killer as well.

Yeah, Parachute is a blast. I also like Emotions, their 1967 psych-pop album, quite a bit.

So Shelby Woo finally solved her mystery files?
Yeah, I can see how that movie would be a massive hit.

Huh.
Yeah, the packaging thing is a little silly, but I'm surprised that there aren't more Of Montreal fans here. I'd count them among my favorite bands of the decade.

Yeah, both those albums are fantastic - Cowboys in particular is unlike any other pop album I can think of.

"Scoot McNairy"?
….

OH SHIT.
IT'S PARAPPA THE RAPPER.

Men Without Hats
Which album(s) do you have, Noel? I'm not intimately familiar with the band, but Pop Goes the World is, somewhat surprisingly, a hell of a record.
