There's also The Doors' "Riders On The Storm," where Jim Morrison whispered the lyrics over his regular vocals for a dream-like effect.

One of the few unpretentious movie critics, and someone who helped me to appreciate movies on so many levels, from his early days with Gene Siskel through his books and online reviews. His love of films always shone through, even during his long cancer battle. Wherever his spirit is I hope there's an enormous screen…

He ticked all the obvious boxes, but someone should introduce this fella to the two Jellyfish albums (Bellybutton and Spilt Milk). Andy Sturmer sang, played drums (standing up) and co-wrote everything on those records, and having seen them on both tours I can confirm that they sounded great live.

Nice to see a couple of other Staten Island natives here. I moved to Queens when I was 24 and never looked back (currently living in Westchester). I can't believe you actually know someone who called it "Staten." Who knew?

I grew up on Staten Island. Lived there from 1969-1990, and continued to visit my parents there until they moved to Florida in '94. In all that time I never heard anyone refer to it as "Staten." That's what threw me off most about this episode. And then there's the fact that Danny, Mr. By-The-Rules, was doing…

Agreed. "Must I Paint You A Picture," "Valentine's Day Is Over" and "The Short Answer" are as good as it gets, and that's just from one album.

Waiting for my CD to arrive so I can't comment on the music yet, but I don't understand the criticism of him as "relaxed-into-middle-age," simply because that's where he is in his life. "Worker's Playtime" is probably my favorite Bragg album (and was my introduction to his music in '88), and much of that was mellow…

After years of seeing Mike Viola solo and with Candy Butchers, I never thought I would see/hear him perform "That Thing You Do" which he co-wrote (with Fountains Of Wayne's Adam Schlesinger) and sang for the Tom Hanks movie. He has his own catalog of brilliant melodic power pop so it's not like fans were clamoring for…

Nice to see Bandslam on this list. Stumbled on it one night last year and liked it a lot more than I should have. I knew who Vanessa Hudgens was but had never seen her before, and it's still the only thing I've ever seen her in. It's certainly not a good movie, but it's immensely watchable and Bowie's appearance (as…

They're already accepting preorders for the reunion album and tour they'll be launching in about 3 years.

I had to  grudgingly give McGrath some respect after seeing him on Rock & Roll Jeopardy. The man knows his stuff. As for this cruise…I think I'll stay ashore.

Hot Tub Time Machine 2: Die Hotter

Hardly…but the theater was so cold that day that my senses were heightened.

Saw this in the screening room of a local theater recently and really enjoyed it. It's only sporadically laugh-out-loud funny, but it had me smiling throughout most of its running time. I get the sense that the story is based on some truth, since the sleep study documents they show during the end credits include…

The Restoration Hardware sketch reminded me of the Christopher
Guest/Billy Crystal sketches where they improv'd their conversation to
crack each other up. I'm not a fan of Armisen, but I thought he &
Short did a pretty good job with that one. Also, I don't think I'll ever get tired of What Up With That as long as…

"Stupefaction" is where GP's music started with me in 1980, and I ended up with nearly his entire discography (at least through 2001). That song still sounds great to me. If it doesn't bring a smile to your face, well then, your musical taste is obviously…different from mine.
