As messed up as the VHS boxes for all the 70's and 80's slasher flix were, I remember being far more scared/scarred from watching some of the sick ass movies they used to show on regular TV in the early 80's… Hammer films and slightly-edited-for television R-rated horror with the nudity and some of the gore cut out,…

I've got a couple of VHS tapes full of all manner of 120 Minutes weirdness (Yo La Tengo: "From a Motel 6"… His Name Is Alive's immortal Quay Brothers' video for "Can't Go Wrong Without You"). Good God I miss those days.

I caught a "post-punk" episode of Night Flight when I was relatively young-ish and impressionable… 'Twas my earliest exposure to Siouxsie & the Banshees ("Hong Kong Garden"), PIL ("Death Disco"), and Einsturzende Motherfucking Neubauten ("Autobahn")… I soon became a lifetime fan of all 3, so from the bottom of my…

I saw his show when his guest was King Diamond, singer of "scary" satanic thrash pioneers Mercyful Fate… Franklin kept calling him "King David" and asking him questions like, "Now, if you were to take me on a tour of your native Denmark, what sights would you show me?" Also remember them having a shared reverence for…

"Famously dead."

Mark Wahlbberg gets a lifetime pass because Boogie Nights

One of my all time favorite quotes (attributed to Nietzsche in the comic) comes from the Love Is Hell collection: "Love is a snowmobile racing across the tundra and then suddenly it flips over, pinning you underneath. At night, the ice weasels come."

Tied between Okay Mr. Burns, what's your first name… I don't knoooooow, and Smithers, have the Rolling Stones killed… Actually I think "Have the Rolling Stones Killed" would make a great Ramones compilation album title.

The Frasier snub is appalling, but the late-arriving Home Movies nod made me just so, damn, happy!

Upvoted for the Miki reference… Such as it is

Between the kid's Moe drawing ("Mr. Stinky" complete with stink lines), and the recommendation to Marge to try the Hobo chili (with the secret hobo spices) it's close to perfect.

Not surprised by the anti-Garfield thing… Did you see what she did to the cat in 'The Future'? Pissed me off actually.

Nathan Lane's delivery of that line was perfect.

If by "a few" you mean "the majority", then you're spot on… And let's be honest, aren't most Stooges and VU-inspired bands pretty crappy as well?

Nahhh, not a waste of time, but a light, FUN album, a record company mandated commercial corrective to the darker 'Fair Warning'… The record has more than its share of silly moments, but "Big Bad Bill" is a hoot (and that it features Eddie and Alex's dad is awesome), "Full Bug" and "Hang 'Em High" are indeed great……

I was going to say insect, but… Seriously though,, Axl never had a conventionally pleasing voice, but on the first album anyway he had amazing range, control and versatility, and as the would-be copycats proved, really hard to emulate.

"Kurt Cobain and Nirvana inspired grunge…" Well, they popularized it, brought its existence to a mainstream audience, but c'mon, really?

So, did he get any $$$ from when Anthrax sampled his Easy Money "I'm the man!… I'm so bad I should be in detention" scene?

Okay, I'll just wipe it off, that's all. Just a little town.

…and now it's even slower.
