Depp! Grieco!
Depp!

I just saw the floating head in the picture and had an instant hate-memory.

1994
Was a weird year, because I moved from my hometown forever, just after Cobain died. But I loved these albums:

Lesson #1
Auto-tune. Use it.

Here's a Better Idea
Go back into the studio, and release another full album before 2013!

*that permeates the place*

The Anna Faris New Yorker Piece
The piece on Anna Faris and her ongoing attempt to forge the career she wants to have in Hollywood is almost heartbreaking when it discusses the cynicism and fear the permeates the place.

I love Britta, and am confused as to why anybody would want to filter her. Now a Pierce filter, that I would be onboard with.

Best. Vow. Ever.
"I guess I kinda hate most things, but I never really seem to hate you, so I wanna spend the rest of my life with you. Is that cool?"

Best thing about Hannah and Her Sisters: everything.

How is "Better Late Than Never?" Even A Question?
Seriously. Woody Allen made so many amazing, iconic films in his first two decades as a filmmaker that "Never" is not even an option.

A couple of things about TWIN PEAKS: it didn't really begin to reveal its sense of humor until Dale Cooper came to town, and a lot of the show's humor revolved around his hyperreal enthusiasm for life's smaller pleasures: things like coffee and pie.

I disagree with the premise that recording artists released much less material in the 1980s. While they did compared to the 1960s, that trend has only continued to where artists release material every 3 years and get lionized for it: LCD Soundsystem, Arcade Fire.

I agree with @fastandsloppy about OUR BELOVED REVOLUTIONARY SWEETHEART as the gateway, which closes with one of the all time great anti-hipster-douchebag songs: "Life is Grand."

I think that all of their albums are flawed in some way: part of their charm was how they would mix transcendent songs with failed experiments, but they played my hometown a lot — including a house party — and they never made a weak record.

Keith mentioned Key Lime Pie in his article. It came out in 89, and at the time, I thought that it was brought down by the second side, despite the fact that the second side contained what might be my favorite CVB song ever: "All Her Favorite Fruit."

Dude! I saw Rainbow in 81 too! Just to enjoy a completely uninterested Ritchie Blackmore play guitar like the fucking master that he was.

Yes, because late 40s is the time to retire. Whoever has anything to say once you get to be THAT old?

Actually Licensed to Ill was produced by Rick Rubin and Paul's Boutique was co-produced by the Dust Brothers.
