"Spaceboy, Ill miss you." — Cat #1

The Black Keys' "Fever."

I will definitely give you 33, Lady Picture Show, and #1 Crush. Garbage really knew what they were doing for like 3 years there.

"Times Like These" is their strongest moment, in my opinion. And the acoustic version is even more killer.

Crysturhate song?

Yeah — so unconventional. No drums, no real chorus, prominent use of mellotron (I think).

It's not that bad, but it definitely the beginning of the end of their classic era.

You're confusing it with the sequel, Sticks And Carrots.

Law & Order: AMC

The Breeze Sighs Larry

There's something so sweet and innocent about Travis — Why Does it Always Rain on Me, Driftwood, Follow the Light, the two songs you mentioned. They were a great salve to the nu-metal revenge of the early '00s.

I miss Travis :(

I love "She's Electric"! And as noted above, that "bun in the oven" line really made me smile as a teenager. It's like a simple song they wrote on the way to the studio or something — catchy, uncomplicated, breezy.

Letters to Cleo were actually on Parks & Rec last week, and I hadn't thought of them in years. They were known for this song, which has some catchy word diarrhea in the chorus

Their best song is Live Forever, on this album. It peaked at #2 the week of March 11, 1995 on Billboard's modern rock tracks chart:

Love the Eminem song on this album. Let's see if I can remember his rap…

Moneyball was my #1 movie of 2011. So, so good.

He actually looks a lot like Channing Tatum in the trailer.

His face is inschruteable.

That's what she said.
