I'm more of a Quddus man, myself.

Reppazentin' tha ABQ. Leave a message, beeotch.

I doubt your nervous system can handle all that collected tension and incredible pay off.

Well, there's already that commercial on AMC that says Breaking Bad will return "summer," which I initially took to mean "October."

Don't forget "Dirty Work." That Woody Allen-esque, Jewish self-hate makes for some awesomely mournful, self-unempowering rock/jazz.

Shortly after we started dating, my girlfriend in college (now wife) had a psychology class project to watch a movie that portrays mental illness.

Yep, this is totally true. I dug the old stuff as a kid because it was mostly all I had and I had a penchant for nostalgia. When old stuff isn't nostalgic, it just reminds you that it's dated and that you'll eventually become irrelevant, poorly dressed, and die.

"strange pastoral folk"- All my friends will be stoked. More hushed, more harmony, more sparseness. This is how you sell my friends music.

I bet David Bowie is at least a little peeved.

How do we go about making such noise? What's most effective?

This episode has stayed strong in my mind, since this episode was the climax of the Pete-Stock marathon, which supplied me with all the Pete & Pete I had until other means came available (pre-official DVD eBay bootlegs).
