The band's name is Mazzy Star, not "Mazzy Star LOL"

That sounds like an intro sentence to the next Klosterman book.

That's some funny stuff.

I thought it was a movie about calendars. Very large ones.

What I mean is, it aged better than one might have expected.

Tattoo You was the last album when the Stones "mattered."

I thought it was a hoot for a while, but after a while it started to seem redundant — the amusing characteristics of it just good old.

Yep.

An additional question may be, does the "5 Good Album Titles Rule" hold up?

I fell out of the Wilco loop after "Ghost," which I thought had some amazing moments but it just never "took." Probably didn't help that it was impossible not to compare its strengths to YHF.

"Chasing Amy" might've been a good choice for this. I bet if there were a half-dozen other writers for this segment, it would have come up.

You may have a point, JMP. Maybe it's the flip-side of "Groundhog Day" (which possibly deserves consideration in this category, although I the theme with that was more focused on journey-vs.-destination philosophy, and just happened to have a romantic comedy anchor).

My order still goes Alien Lanes, Under The Bushes, Bee Thousand.

Whatever you do, do NOT start with "Mag Earwhig!"

Pollard is wearing a black dress?

"Transmissions From the Satellite Heart," which contains "Jelly," is still one of my favorite '90s albums.

Stars on 45 is embarrassing in its popularity in retrospect.

This fits well into your "context is everything" post.

I swore "Reckoning" was my favorite for many years … and I know why I said it: that was the current album when I was first introduced.

In a way, that actually sounds like a title of an R.E.M. song.
