Burl, you have awesome taste in micro-genres. I'm especially intrigued by your love of outsider art stored in a building made by the same outsider artist. I'm trying to think of some examples of this, because it sounds right up my alley, and can't come up with one. What are your favorite examples?

Well, if Werner Herzog is going to teach me how to pick a lock
then I imagine that the class would pay for itself in one busy night, depending on how many houses and pawn shops I can hit.

One of my favorite things about Metroid Prime (and lord knows there are many), is that they start you off with the full suit, so you can see what a bad-ass Samus is. And you start to think "This game is gonna be easy as pie!" Then you lose it all and have to rebuild the suit piece by piece. It makes it that much more…

It was funny, but I didn't care about any of the characters at all. The film spent too much time telling me what freaks they were that I never got emotionally invested. That's what Wes Anderson's films always do (well, ok, I haven't seen the most recent one, but I agree that LIFE AQUATIC is crazy under-rated), no…

Also, "Up".

Don't dis Mazzy Star. Didn't you see Starship Troopers? In the future, they will be one of the most popular bands with the young folk.

No, but they might put in ABBA, which is way worse.

And here's who is in so far:

I thought his middle name was "cougar".

Sonic Youth
Why haven't they been nominated yet?

I'd be more upset about this . . .
. . .if I gave a rat's ass about Sweet Valley High.

Thos eshows are popular because lots of people drive to work by themselves and only own a few albums, so they have nothing better to do in the car but listen to some crappy music and bad jokes. If they would just start playing MLB games at 8 AM instead of in the afternoon or at night, people would have something else…

Clint Eastwood is a goddamned midget. My dad ran into him at a bar once and asked if he could get another round. Which yes, he then went to the bartender and ordered my dad and his co-workers another round.

Lesley Gore is awesome. Seriously, go pick up the Anthology, it's great.

Yeah, what's with all the hate? You don't like, don't download it and stop whining.

There's Kingdom Hearts . . . .That's kind of like Disney vs. Square

Milk? I just pour ground beef in my cereal. It's from the same animal.

. . . gee, that's funny, because on the cover of "Fishscale", "More Fish" and "Big Doe Rehab", which came out after "Pretty Toney", his name on the cover is "Ghostface Killah". All of which came out on Def Jam.

Oh come on, the Jeff Buckley comeback was a good line.
