Kate Bush's "Hounds of Love"?
I have to question Brandon's hatred of this cover. Let's see - gorgeous English woman, dogs, bestiality overtones - it's got everything!

Costello interviewed Lou Reed, you know. Of course it was a conversation, not an argument. Probably the only time Lou has really opened up to anyone in an interview situation.

"Repetition" was really the first song that sprang to my mind. Chilling, disturbing, disorienting.

Yes,"White Knuckles" is the more obvious one. Or you could also try the Costello rarity "Wave A White Flag":

I suppose it has to be goat, because eating would be right out in India!

It did it to me.

Let's call it Yiddish Haiku and no one will be the wiser.

If you can't think of any dark TNG episodes then I guess you must have been blinded by the light emitted from DS9's shiny anus.

Humans are worse than Daleks at almost everything, except climbing stairs.

You tell 'em, ferret-face.

Jason Heller - Maybe there is a "Rock Biography Mafia"?
Jason Heller's comments about the dire string of Elvis Costello bios has got me wondering, as I've had proposals for books about Costello and/or Costello and the Attractions knocked back. I'm pretty sure my ideas couldn't be any worse than the ones that have…

I third the mmmm-ing of Josie Lawrence.

Apple, you've never seen "Back to the Future 2 1/2", where Marty goes back to 1935 and fucks up Hitler's shit? It was the best BTTF of them all…

Fly, my pretties, fly!

Not much to complain about, Mr Smith
It seems to me like Kevin Smith has gotten a pretty good ride from the critics so far. Here are his film's Rotten Tomatoes scores:

Pub Rock was a genre that was discussed by English music magazines (like "Melody Maker" and "New Musical Express") back in the seventies and applied to the bands that Heller mentions. It's not some term that was made up decades later.

Like the design

"Ride a White Swan" was glam, not pub rock. T-Rex were a glam band. That means: glitter, makeup, costumes, science-fiction/fantasy literature conceits. Another example would be Bowie at around the same time (between 1971 and 1974).
