Cabrini Green Christmas?
He's still British and a tool and all, but wasn't Martin singing "Lake Michigan" on that hook?

They were also the Hippie Proto-Jam Band That Did Not Jam.

I'd characterize Cracker as more of a cult favorite than a one-hit wonder.

Y'all are killing me softly with these errors …

"1990's"
Y'all slippin', A.V. Club.

I always thought his lyrics were inspired by shootin' smack and havin' sex with dudes. (In fairness, I don't mind "Everything Zen" and "Machine Head.")

LOL: I'm not suggesting that Alanis did it on purpose, but is a firehouse burning down still ironic if it's arson?

I am proushamed to admit that I bought "Cracked Rear View" along with "Monster" at a midnight CD release party at the record store in the town where I went to college.
"CRV" became my albatross when I undertook a very "Popless"-like journey of ripping and selling off my CDs a couple years ago. I might still have it…

Worse album title …
"Mental Jewelry," "Razorblade Suitcase" or "Jagged Little Pill"?
So angst-y!

No way …
… to combine this with Thora Birch's porn-star dad into one big, creepy uncomfortable family of a Newswire item?

I've postulated before: The supreme irony of "Ironic" is that none of the "ironic" vignettes in "Ironic" is actually ironic, which IS ironic.
In the realm of irony, I was way less of a douche about pointing out typos when it was my job.

"Flack" …
… means press agent. "Flak" = a barrage (of antiaircraft fire, criticism).
Also: "LIly"?

* the "SNL" cast …

Remember when …
… the "SNL" didn't always crack itself up every sketch — and when it did, as with Chris Farley's motivational speaker slaying Christina Applegate and David Spade, it was REALLY funny — and made the audience laugh instead?

It was DREADFUL in the promos for the first season: That's when I checked out on "The Closer" for good.

@ Bela: If it's any consolation, engineering was and still is a way smarter major than fucking journalism.

At least I've got a stack of letters with the phrase "moving forward with another candidate" to keep me warm this winter.
That, and bile.

Buckcherry
Love "Lit Up."
Hate everything else, especially "Too Drunk."
Don't fuck with the Dead Kennedys …

*"one"

"Moving forward"
Is it possible to write anything human-resources-related without these two words? As my unemployment stretches into its second year, it's becoming mone of my least favorite phrases.
