I hated Lets Go To Bed when it came out, and was pissed that they seemed to have stopped making records like Faith or Pornography. I still don't like much after that period, although I'll admit they have their moments.

He doesn't deserve Annie Potts, she's freakin hawt. But an Annie Potts/Molly Ringwald-in-her-prime romance would have ruled.

the extras are as good as the series and matt berry's in-character discussion of acting is downright brilliant. " you and he were buddies once..weren't you."

that guillotine idea isn't new…http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jG3…

and yet I am still not as corny as Drake

How does this guy get taken seriously? I guess its a measure of how lame most popular rap is. His lyrics are atrocious and yet they are analyzed like they mean something. He even tries to come on like he's had it so hard, yet he's a been in entertainment for most of his life and he's canadian! Damn! Wheelchair Jimmy!…

the demo versions are better. they were circulating on boots a year before Nevermind came out. The album seemed boring and slick in comparison.

my pet theory: Courtney Love helped with some of the lyrics (frances farmer f'r instance) and Cobain helped with the music on Live Through This.

the spirit is willing, but the flesh is spongy and bruised

ohhh…are you serious? I've read all the biographies and I don't necessarily agree with you. I guess that's not ok. Why are you so invested in his insanity?

I'm "casually omitting" something that you and I can't possibly know about. Monk was a quiet guy throughout his life, but unlike you I don't buy the "crazy" portrait of Monk. You want crazy? try Mingus

That book doesn't spin his life as a positive, and he was definitely an odd bird, but why was it so crazy for him to quit? He didn't even need a reason. He'd been a professional musician for 40 something years. He, smartly, cashed in with columbia, finished that contract and spent the rest of his days smoking weed and…

gah! very jealous

Giant Steps is more fast and polite, great for sure, but every hair is in place. Coltrane left it behind immediately to make "rude" music with Dolphy.

His Columbia albums are not nearly as good as any of the Riverside ones, so start with Misterioso (Johnny Griffin ripping it up and a signature deconstruction of Just A Gigolo) or some live stuff with Charlie Rouse like April In Paris. Monk's compositions are what made him famous and important. Leave the Ellington…

I see you've got a husband now/Did he leave your pretty fingers lying in the wedding cake?

I wouldn't dare try to tell you such a thing. But, McEnroe is a Richard Hell fan. F'real.

Patti Smyth was married to Richard Hell, so that makes this song punk as fuck. 
naw, fuck that, Henley is the worst person ever and the biggest asshole on the Eagles, which is a real achievement,

We Got The Beat rips off Totally Wired by the Fall. This is a good thing.

Skidmarks is amazing.
