That IS a huge change. When I watched the ep I couldn't understand why the sheriff said he was the first of new breed, "half man, half engine" - now I know the big reveal was cut out.

I saw Kristin Hersh at the Iron Horse in Northampton, MA when she was touring Hips & Makers; what a great show. I also saw Belly there on what I think was the opener for their tour. God I'm old.

I keep meaning to see that movie! I'm curious if I will like it as much as I did Eat Drink Man Woman…

Are we considering blink-182 punk now? I always thought they were a Saturday morning cartoon version of Green Day, who were themselves a Saturday morning cartoon version of Nirvana…

"Pretty girl keep growin' up, playin' makeup, wearin' guitar…"

It's Emily, Herschel's other daughter (I think). She's clearly future-zombie fodder at this point.

R.E.M. busting out "Born To Run" with Peter Buck on drums during the Green tour at Great Woods, Mansfield MA.

I saw them perform that in Boston, 1986, the Pageantry tour. Good stuff.
