Did Richard Lyons write/sing "Happy Hero" from Dispepsi? That's some sorta next-level stuff if the person responsible for a song ostensibly about Michael Jackson's child molestation allegations died the same day as MJ's biggest rival….

The first time I heard Negativland, David Wisdom ran Escape From Noise in the Feature Album Spotlight Album Feature on Nightlines sometime in late 1987. I was 16 and frightened and enthralled simultaneously. Huge life-changing moment.

EXECUTE A PERFECT CUT!

As a semi-detached current observer of Disney TV, you're spot on….everything that skews male demographic in content or might non-ironically appeal to anyone over 13 is on Disney XD. I can't think of a single show on regular Disney Channel over the past 5 years with an honest-to-goodness male lead.

Don't be so fast to judge….Debby Ryan just got popped for a DUI a week ago….

Thank you for including "Treasure of the Four Crowns". I saw this at a theater when I was 12 and without using IMDB as a "cheat", have wondered occasionally if that experience really happened or if I just imagined it. This is at least the 2nd time AVC has done this for me, following your "One Season Wonders" feature…

It is infuriating in 2016 that the CW and the production company of Crazy Ex GF can't figure out how to keep a whole season of episodes available for on-demand viewing somewhere. I guess I will check it out this Summer when it's all up on Hulu or somewhere.

Standards is awesome. Unrealized opportunity: a cover by Americans with "Winston" seamlessly replaced with "Nixon".

My wife & I were watching an episode of The OC about 10 years ago or so and allasudden I yelled "PAUSE IT RIGHT NOW" and this was probably in the VHS era so it was hard to see but I could swear that Seth Cohen had a framed cover of the "Bitterest Pill" 12" hanging on his bedroom wall. Every week after that I kept…

Above all else, the greatest genius of The Jam & Paul Weller is their very unique ability to write songs that touch you deeply like they're all about your life when you first dive deeply into them in your teen years, and then when you go back and revisit them in your 40s, you find that they still have the same effect…

Youtube is no-go at work so I can't post links now, but according to my phone all but "Darker Shade" are up there….

LASERS THAT PLAY RECORDS!

And they had pretty much the greatest logo ever.

From the wikipedia article on rock critic Brett Milano:

If you Spotify this reissue is available there….

Here's a couple deeply buried gems from Enigma…I have no idea if these are findable anywhere:

I do love this album so very much and have for a long time. I was 16 and flipping through the new releases at Dearborn Music and the giant record company hype sticker on the front (something like "the greatest, weirdest pop album you'll hear all year!") and the stark black/green/white design just caught my eye and I…

It didn't need subtitles as much as The Americans does need them.
Also, I can't believe how much French they used in those scenes that I understood thanks to Talking Heads songs and Quebec license plates….

My basic theory is that he will use the GbV name when he wants to do shows (or possibly, when people want to pay him to do shows). The # of diehards who'll buy Boston Spaceships albums is economically viable for him, but the economics of touring under that name or the Ascended Masters is another proposition…
