I don't get what happened to his voice. The last time it really sounded great was on their cover of "Velouria" on the Pixies tribute album. Not that he ever sounded particularly manly, but he comes off sounding like a 12 year old boy now.

Sounds like this Death to False Metal could be good. The pre-Green album stuff was very good, dark stuff, like a combination of Pinkerton and Green Album. I've been dying to hear a lot of the songs done during that long hiatus.

I remember originally David Fincher had planned to do Black Dahlia with Mark Wahlberg as Bucky. I wonder how that would have turned out.

The shittiest part was when I was reading the Ishiguro book, it started slowly revealing the film's plot points! With no spoiler warnings!! I took it back to the bookstore and demanded my money back but the asshole wasn't having it. What a scam.

Isolation Drills is great. What brand of crack are you smoking, crack whores? UTBUTS is their best.

The Big Nowhere and American Tabloid are about tied in my book. For some reason, I've yet to read LA Confidential…only book in the Quartet I haven't read. I guess because, having seen the movie, I feel like I have a good idea of what happens. Still, need to get around to it sooner or later. Also have a signed copy of…

Not according to Pitchfork circa 2001.

Probably the best thing they've done since Maladroit. That doesn't mean it's good.

I don't think Pitchfork likes Interpol since they didn't follow up on the promise of being the next Radiohead like PFork wanted them to (see also: The Strokes).

Our Love to Admire has some of their best songs, but also has some of their worst.

Helena C is kinda old now. I mean, for this club, not for, you know, the earth.

Brule would say "Prollard solo CDs"

I remember when people were real pissed that Weezer had come back and Rivers had turned away from emotional, personal lyrics in favor of writing random, nonsensical lyrics. So when Rivers heard all the bitching on the internet, he finally relented and wrote personal lyrics for Make Believe…and they were terrible. A…

Obscure reference but I got it. "No man! Axl would floor it!"

The Latinos had their chance! Horatio Sanz screwed it up for an entire race of people.

So you hate Grammer for doing one shitty movie that no one saw? That seems fair.

Err…you mean Adam Carolla?

I definitely remember this show, and remember some of the celebs having a hard time pretending it was anything but lame, and then there'd always be one or two kooks who really seemed to be losing their shit (I can only assume they were really losing their shit, cause none of them are good actors).

Great rundown, Kunzaito. USA used to be so weird and sleazy. All the shows were geared towards soft core sex, yet there was never even a bit of nudity. I remember an Up All Night with the movie being Bikini Carwash, and they never really edited anything, just blurred out all the boobs.
I also remember a Halloween…

Agree with Provolone on the Greer GBV bio. It's poorly written, as is his R.E.M. book, but both are very well researched and provide a lot of interesting info that you won't find anywhere else. Most of my problem with Greer is that he tends to editorialize where he shouldn't, and seems to want the books to be as much…
