I'd go duck soup, then animal crackers, then night at the opera, then horse feathers.

Lest we forget, he also worked on "Rubik The Amazing Cube".

Agreed, leeharvey. Mariqueen's breathy whispered vocals got tiresome for me. I did enjoy notbyhalf's link, however.

I'm convinced enough to try all-grain for my next batch. I believe it's cheaper than using extract anyway. I still have to wait until february to start planting hops in the garden, though.

You guys are right, I misspoke. But I read it somewhere, I swear to you.

I was introduced to two-lane blacktop a couple weeks ago, based on an AVclub recommendation, and I couldn't get into it at all.

Film trivia: only two people have ever received oscars for best original screenplay and best actor for the same film: Orson Welles (Kane) and Sly Stallone (Rocky).

If you live near a decent homebrewing shop, there's absolutely no reason to do pre-mix. Most recipes I'm seeing these days are partial-mash as well, which requires nothing more than a thermometer (you still use extract, but additional specialty grains are added and held at @155 degrees long enough to extract sugars…

I'm glad most people agree on "Planet" being the better film, even if it isn't so great. We saw Grindhouse at a Drive-In with lawnchairs, beer and weed, so even though the films could have been better, it was still a great time.

How To Destroy Angels was okay, I guess. At least it was free, which was nice of him. His textures and production are excellent, but I think I would've preferred it as an instrumental record.

These two are dropping the N-word in the lyrics, though. Since all of the Insane Clown Posse's audience are redneck trailer trash, I'm wondering if ICP's rhymes ever reference the african-american race.

Video Games Are Art
Man, this is totally true. Remember "Surround" for the Atari 2600?

Probably not. Anyway, it had a drawing mode, and I got to be a master at drawing pixellated tits. After a few weeks, I got so good at it that I could draw them in game mode, just before surrounding my…

To my ears, The Residents' "Satisfaction" is musically the polar opposite to Devo's version.

Check out Gary Numan doing "praying to the aliens" on SNL, around '79-80. I saw that when I was ten, and I was both thrilled and creeped-out.

"Scrub Me Momma with A Boogie Beat" is the most horrific cartoon I've seen, and it was produced by MGM in the 40's, just like Tom and Jerry. I'm sure it's on youtube. Prepare to be either amused or outraged, depending on your disposition.

I'm going to revise my comment: "Q: Are We Not Men" is their best album, but their early short films are possibly their best gateway. As someone said above, they're putting forth a mission statement. Devo was conceived as a multimedia project from the beginning, and their first work made available to the public was…

I grew up in Chicago, where Tom and Jerry was part of the daily cartoon programming on the local UHF station. I believe it was when I was in the sixth grade or so that they overdubbed the mammy voice with a more conventional white suburban mom voice. She still had black legs, however.

That's just sad, really.

Q: Are We Not Men is absolutely the gateway album, and don't let anyone tell you differently.

I liked it. Some parts are comparable to "Shivers" on the disturb-o-meter, like when Lynn Lowry (also in "Shivers") and her father are both infected, and start getting all uncontrollably incestuous on each other. That's some audacious filmmaking.
