Except that they weren't.

"taking the piss" - It would appear that you don't know what that means.

Great movie, always watch it when it's on, however… "and a serious alcohol problem". I'd say by Wisconsin standards he had an average alcohol problem.

Elastica were a great band and this was a great album. However, I felt their follow-up, The Menace, was even better but it sank without a trace. Check them out tearing it up on the old Conan: http://youtu.be/K6TlQpOcHKQ

Well done, Heller. One of the greatest albums of all time that not many realize is one of the greatest albums of all time.

Note, this is a college radio ghetto list. This was not the *real* top 10 by a LONG shot. Except for the Sinead track.

"The band pressed just 250 7-inch copies of the EP, which they auctioned off in January, raising over $100,000." What a smart, cool thing to do for Slim Dunlap. See? It is possible to capitalize on the pent up demand for your band in a positive way.

Cl-assic.

I'm surprised no one mentioned the lost Doctor Who episodes. There are some legendary Dalek and Cybermen stories that are most likely gone forever.

"(Apparently, punk legend G.B.H. guest-starred, which certainly seems to imply Mirkin was actually trying to do something as off-the-wall as the original series.)"
GBH was a band, not an individual man.

I was actually about a quarter through this piece before I actually remembered the show… and then remembered that I watched it on more than a few occasions. It had completely fallen out of my brain. That doesn't happen to me often; this show must have *really* sucked.

"All Raylan has to do is tug on this douche’s hair to get a “simple ‘they went thataway."
Maybe it was me but wasn't it insinuated that his other hand was gripping Joe's junk? Kind of had him at both ends?

Fucking boo, fucking hiss.

Crucial film in my adolescent development.

No, that wasn't it at all. Indie label folks and independent bookers were getting jobs at the majirs. Lyle Presler from Minor Threat for instance
.

Got to see Butt Trumpet twice and they were MUCH better than most bands being swept up by the majors. And they were funny as shit. Didn't know the singer had passed. Very sad.

I believe she was in an Brave and the Bold story. Or it was someone very like her.

Shada is a dead horse that has been beat to the bone because of it's place in history as well as Adams involvement. I mean, we've had the original VHS recon, the book, the web series where somehow McGann must now do the journey, and now the DVD. I wish we could just let it go.

I did say 'if'!

We're in agreement! But about Romana: If you feel they successfully brought back the Master and Sarah Jane then I'm not sure how you could argue against bringing back Romana. As far as individual characters (not monsters) they have been very selective in who they have re-used from the classic series. Romana seems to…
