Hey Drew… You know that you're supposed to put the word SPOILER at or near the beginning of a paragraph that contains 'em, right? Try to remember that next time… Thanks for ruining a movie I was looking forward to seeing very much.

Had no idea about his history and all his contributions to the last 60-or-so years of popular culture… If all he had done was give us Pete Puma though, he would still be a legend.

…send him to Belize ?

We should all be so lucky.

K: Kings Of Convenience: 'Quiet Is the New Loud' and 'Riot On an Empty Street'… Post-Millenial coffeehouse music. Any members of Generation X or Y or whatever who wanted their own Simon & Garfunkel got it. Pity there apparently weren't too many of us who did.

Love that band… Their final album tanked though (commercially and critically I believe)… Their second album 'Simpatico' is still an alt-/twee-/power-pop miracle by any measure.

God, I loved that band… Prefer the songs on the debut actually ("Now She Knows She's Wrong", I mean, just, Wow!), but the sound overall sound they achieved on 'Spilt Milk' really was an amazing achievement… Bummed that Sturmer never even did a solo album after The split.

Agree to disagree my friend… The 'Lovelife' album and b-sides had tons of great songs… It wasn't their first album chart placing in the U.S. However ('Spooky' also charted, and slightly higher if memory serves)… Plus they didn't exactly break up "just as they were getting successful"… Not knocking them; they're one of…

"…In Greek, nostalgia literally means the pain from an old wound." *goosebumps*

Heartbreaking is right… Another moment that similarly gets me is in the shitstorm immediately following the pitch where everyone loses it on Don for blowing it, Roger stops to ask him if that story was true, and Don says yes…

A bit of a train wreck, but I'm glad it exists… And trainwreck though it may have been, I'm sure it won TW more fans.

After Tom shot it, and Florence Nightingale gave it the finger, they didn't want to call attention to it.

Right, 'cause he used to date Tom's mom ;-)

The live version from the 'Everytime I Hear That Melody' bootleg is one of my favorite things ever. If you are not familiar, please seek it out immediately.

Where they're making feet for children's shoes?

Mayor's Income, Tennessee seems to be missing…

I think I saw this as a kid… HBO used to show it a fair bit… This is the one where Kaplan is driving around with his players and they think they're about to get pulled over so they decide to try to eat their sizable marijuana stash?

At least they had their 15 minutes… Arena Shoegaze was never going to stick around for long… Lush and Ride were as deserving, but never had their mainstream moment like Verve did.

Didn't Kristen Wiig already do the definitive Patty Hearst story on that episode of Drunk History?

I picture the day marijuana is nationally legalized, Willie will be watching the announcement on TV like Bert Cooper watching the moon landing on Mad Men… "I'll be damned!" Then he'll pass away… And stoners around the world will have hallucinations of him dancing happily
