What the heck, @hastapura:disqus above seems like they might be in Tampa too.

Fully agreed, and moreover IMO two drummers is nearly-always pointless for rock bands (I have a theory that it sounds powerful to the band in a practice space setting, which is why they do it; but they don't realize that in an amplified concert setting, a second drummer - particularly if he is mostly just duplicating…

I like most of their albums, but I've seen them live twice (once in a small venue, once in a medium-sized one) and have never caught a great one - to me, live their rhythms just plod, as opposed to how playful and nimble they are on record with their tempo/beats.

I guess it depends. Using DJ Shadow in that Chevy commercial was some BS. ;-)

Of course, I say that, and now I am trying to figure out what I'd drop from M & A and I just don't know what to cut.

Yeah, it seems churlish to complain about "too many songs" when Brock has been so productive with MM and the occasional side project/compilation. But I do often wish the albums were just a tiny bit shorter/tighter.

Moon and Antarctica sags just a tiny bit in the middle (actually, most of their albums could usually use a tiny trim IMO), but it is an amazing, amazing album. Deck's slightly psychedelic production really works gangbusters with the band, and it is a sort of philosophical concept album about all the things we are…

Ha ha! Gherkins!

When Peanut comes heavy, he comes HARD.

Maybe something to do with the prevalence of right-handedness, so catching something is usually moving that direction (from your perspective)? That has to do with motion and spatial relationships, pre-language stuff. Do babies learn to catch before they learn to throw?

I haven't watched this video yet, but I actually did this very thing years ago (long before the Keaton movie). One Halloween I made a totally awesome Harvey Birdman costume, made a helmet from a bike helmet (including CREST!), wings, suit, the whole nine yards.

It just shows what a brilliant physical comedian Krakowski is, because she somehow managed to make the gesture look dirty (seriously, she somehow gives her fingers some extra bend or stretch…I had the same reaction before Kimmy did).

It's not just a great little pop song, it has that little bit of MBV undulating "warp" in the guitar. It was great mixtape fodder.

Luna does a great cover:

Gaad was already fiddling with the non-working pen; if the jig appears to be up, and he HAD been the real planter of the bug, what better way to deflect suspicion away from himself, than to be the "co-discoverer" of the bug?

Previously, things had always gone afoul, or askew, or awry; but this time, they went all three.

Agreed, one thing I like about the fights on this show is they (mostly) look brutal and desperate and real; they are not staged in an overtly "actiony" way, but in a way that makes you genuinely concerned about the scuffle's outcome. This is just a stellar show on so many levels and if it doesn't get renewed I will…

I got to see them just as SD was starting to blow up, and they were PHENOMENAL. I mean, they were hungry, and playing an album that was still fresh, and that they knew was great, and the show was a (dangerously-oversold, thank god there was no fire) club date. One of the best shows I've ever seen. "Geek USA" was…

Flood just let Corgan's voice fly (probably because Billy wanted to) and his voice started to become an issue.
