See, I think his voice ruins what is otherwise a (fully-agreed) lush and even beautiful production on "Tonight". He should have remembered what Vig knew, and what his shoegazing influences knew - you need to partially-submerge that vocal, especially when you have a voice like that. I'm not a Corgan hater by any…

Look , maybe Stan went native with the white supremacists, and his boss John-Boy grew up amongst the hill folk, what do you expect?

I liked that the killer made Philip and swung first.

Agreed, I noticed it even before she turned to him when they were spooning and noted it just above (sorry should have scrolled down farther).

He kind of looks like Malcolm McDowell to me.

I didn't even notice that he directed the ep, but the scene at the very end when Philip is spooning Elizabeth and we are watching her face as he tells her he has another son was one of the most beautifully-composed and -lit shots of lovers in that pose I think I have ever seen. It was like a painting.

My (certainly-wrong) prediction:

This sounds really intriguing, but am I the only one that is reminded of Black Hole by Charles Burns here?

I'm not particularly a Pinback fan (kinda dull to me, but horses for courses and all) but this is still pretty depressing to me. Hopefully after he gives up Facebook, Twitter and booze he will be able to see things more clearly, as IMO any of these is probably a bigger problem than a basement studio.

And if you have a red Sharpie, you can pretend it's Willie Nelson!

I'm going to start an educational hip-hop group, updating Schoolhouse Rock for the kids of today, explaining legislative and regulatory processes via mad rhymes over sick beats.

Hey, it's a little weird and not my bag, but if the statue was that hot, I don't see the harm. Just make sure you get out of there before museum security shows up.

Upvoted for use of "stone cold turkey".

I've said this before, but this is a song that reliably makes me tear up, no matter how many times I have heard it (thousands, probably), and a big part of that is the sheer perfection of these two voices alternately pulling against each other, and then joining - Bowie's cool emotional reserve, contrasted against…

Between this and the Cheap Trick piece, Gwen's taking us on a tour of the vocalist giants of classic rock.

Conflating Hoffman and heroin addiction with MDMA, a relatively safe substance (if pure and taken in reasonable doses by someone in good health under decent conditions, and which is generally not very physically habit-forming), is a category error.

The guy behind the guy, behind the guy, buddy.

Please tell me that's part of a "Boney Maroney" reference…

Colonnade Conflagration

I heard his new single, "My Single is Dropping", is dropping.
