Also, if it hasn't been done, a GTG on the IRS or Slash labels.

I never noticed before, but Grant Hart in that top picture could pass for early Dave Grohl.

Sean William Scott gets a lifetime pass from me for Evolution and The Rundown. Yes, despite its many drawbacks, I love Evolution.

A bit off the stream, but this pre- and post-Love Supreme discussion encapsulates how I feel about Captain Beefheart and Trout Mask Replica. I love everything else Van Vliet has done; I can't stand Trout, which I consider to be noise for noise's sake.
(BTW, I love Supreme but really love My Favorite Things.

The Criminal Under My Own Hat is T-Bone Burnette's best album, and one of the best albums of the 1990s. Check it out.

I've always been vastly entertained by Corman's films, and I was very happy when he received an honorary Oscar not long ago. The Raven remains ony one of my favorite horror-comedies, and Bucket of Blood is a hoot.
Also, the mind that produced Attack of the Crab Monsters is genius in my book.

I absolutely love this movie. It's my favorite Zemekis film after Used Cars</i<.>

Well, that formatting went all to hell.

My favorite road song, just above "Lodi" and Jackson Browne's "The Load Out," is the Kinks' "Life on the Road":

As a native of Louisiana, I must say that True Blood comes closer to accurately portraying the vampire community of the Bayou State than anything ever, aside from those Goth kids who used to hang around outside Anne Rice's house in uptown New Orleans.

I know you're jesting, but let's all thanks the Brits for keeping the blues — or at least the bluesmen — alive in the early '60s.

I saw Hubert Sumlin and Pinetop Perkins on a double bill at Antone's in Austin in summer 2010, with notables such as Marcia Ball joining them on stage. They were both infirm, but it was a great show. Alas, now they're both gone. Glad I had the chance to catch them.

Well, Fez did tell him to put on that helmet, so he has no one to blame but himself.

The only reasonable host, in my view, is Neil Patrick Harris. If not NPH, then Jason Segel and Puppet Dracula.

Wow. It must have been quite an accomplishment for a 19-year-old Clint to direct The Sands of Iow Jima back in 1949. I feel he did a pretty good job with its sequel, Letters from Iwo Jima, half a century later.
(I jest, I kid.)

I predict a Winehouse-style denouement to this story before the end of 2011.

I appreciate the shout-out for the Night Stalker theme, as well as WKRP in Cincinnati. For the latter, the closing theme is just as indelible as the opening theme, in part because the lyrics, such as they are, make absolutely no sense. The song just rocks out.

Charlotte Rampling was amazing in Swimming Pool. Likewise in her meltdown scene in Stadust Memories, which is itself a very underrated film.

Burth Reynolds guested on Burn Notice last season or the season before, and based on the way he looked, I'd suggest The Walking Dead as his next booking.

That "broadcast" vision of Satan that keeps popping up in Prince remains one of the scariest things I've ever seen in a movie. Why? I don't know. But it scares me.
