I go back to the "Tossing Seeds" compilation with Superchunk. Always liked them, often loved them.

Where Was Elton John's Band?
I saw this first run in the theater as a 12-year-old Elton John fanatic (a sentence that allows y'all to make fun of me in a dozen different ways), and loved it. The soundtrack was one of the first albums I ever owned, and probably a gateway to The Who, who I became obsessed with just a…

Dune!! I so looked forward to that film. I so hated that film.

In the case of Carson Daly, wouldn't that be "My Years of Flop"??
