He would've been good as the Conde Nast guy who interviewed her. He's really good at fake enthusiasm.

The apple didn't only land far from the tree - it also rolled down a hill, was picked up by a swooping bird and then dropped into the Grand Canyon.

For some reason, based on the name alone, it sounds really good. Last time I was in Canada I had some Sussex brand ginger ale and ginger beer that I liked quite a bit.

It's a pretty bad-ass position to be in when you can just say, 'Hey Patti, do me a favor, will ya? Go to Sweden and pick up my Nobel Prize. I got a thing that night.'

I loved the band practice scene in 'Winter' though. It was nice that it seemed like Rory was entering a quiet domestic situation and then Sebastian Bach shows up.

My wife kept pointing out Parenthood cameos that I wasn't aware of having never seen it. I personally found the musical part hilarious, especially when the cast came back and sang 'Waterloo' out of nowhere. It was perhaps a little long though. The song at the end of 'Summer' was a nice emotional note to lead into the…

I liked when he yanked Luke's hat off of his head and threw it. Great visual gag from a show known more for dialogue.

Rankings time!

Are we supposed to like them? I thought the only character we're supposed to like is Miss Patty.

Could your group of friends train a raven to talk?

I saw it with my wife when it came to Baltimore and we enjoyed it, though there was a fair number of college-aged patrons at the screening who kept snickering at the overt sexuality of the film. It's a visually stunning picture and the score is awesome. I even went out and picked up a copy of the soundtrack (which,…

You'd think with the wave of hard colas and root beers out there it might pop up more, but I guess not. I suppose I'll have to start bottling one, becoming a multi-billionaire in the process.

Looks like it hasn't come any where close to me yet, but I'll look out for it.

The only alcoholic ginger beer I've had has been Crabbie's. I like it, but it definitely has to be super cold, on ice even. What are some others out there that are readily available?

And they go great together!

Mmmm, that sounds good, even though I'd probably skip the syrup.

Ah. I've heard the name bandied about before, but never knew what it referenced.

Easy target is my guess. I'm just listening to his version for the first time now and I would say besides some of the whammy bar stuff, it's actually more of a departure than Mascis' rendition.

I was talking more about the way the vocals are recorded, the effect on the vocals, sound like what was on 'U Got the Look' for instance.

Since it was brought up, props to J Mascis going the full-Hazel on that Mike Watt 'Maggot Brain' cover. He honors Eddie without being a direct rip-off.
