New Pornographers, "Letter From An Occupant"
Camper Van Beethoven, "She Divines Water"
Mission of Burma, "Nancy Reagan's Head"

What? No love for Husker Du? "Dreams Reoccurring" vs. "Reoccurring Dreams" on Zen Arcade.

Aquaman: Ocean's 11

We saw Chinatown in my AP English class, which is a great movie, but not terribly relevant, and a little inappropriate. In my French class we watched Jean de Florette and Manon des Sources, which were much more appropriate.

I saw that Mule show, and the Pavement one the week before (missed Don Cab, though).

That works.

Eat my [socks].

The best gateway to Alice Cooper is to be 6 years old and see him on The Muppet Show.

I had never heard of this band until I saw an article on this here website saying that they'd broken up, and that this song was their big hit. I had assumed it was WhiteStripes/Raconteurs/DeadWeather/whateverthefuckJackWhiteisdoingthesedays…

Coffee is much more painful to snort out your nose than milk…

Is this the first time we've seen something that clearly must have diverged before the accident? This is the first episode I've caught since the premiere, so I'm not certain.

All of the Dickenson vs DiAnno completely misses who the key player in Maiden really was: Adrian Smith.  The DiAnno album with Smith is great; the Dickenson album without him is not.

Same here. I don't have any of their albums anymore (had everything up through 7th Son on vinyl), but I've been gorging on Maiden via youtube and pandora for a couple of months now.

Mistakes were made.

The sleep-clowing gag had me laughing too hard to hear anything else that happened well into the commercial break.

This should be blindingly obvious. Did Sims re-watch the episode to write this up, or just work from a hazy memory of having seen it years ago?

I agree with a lot of the ones listed above (though I must point out that Cracker is no Camper Van Beethoven). But my own pick is Miracle Legion. Back in the 80s, they were Connecticut's answer to R.E.M., minus the MTV exposure and major label deal.

To be fair, Mad Love was in no way watchable.

Well played, you magnificent bastard!

Insurrection, my ass. That movie should have been called Star Trek: Insubordination, at best.
