Oh, but the songwriting is top-notch… Nary a dud on the whole album.

Well they had me at "new Tarantino movie"

I think they were rebelling against the idea they were just a hard rock band, so they changed things up by including a reggae song, a slow keyboard-driven song with a lot of quiet passages, a James Brown rip, and a long, lovely orchestral ballad.

So on the title track, is the word "injuries" a euphemism?

Agreed, sort of… After all these years I still lunge for the stop/pause/"power-off" button when "Hats Off to (Roy) Harper" comes on… a crappy final song on an otherwise fantastic album.

Wow, that's a band I haven't thought about in years… "Really Scrape the Sky" was a great song… Stupidly never released as a single

Beat Happening: "Dreamy"… Didn't make the track list of the album that shares its name, but ended up as the b-side of that album's 2nd single "Nancy Sin"… Eventually ended up on the odds-and-ends collection 'Music to Climb the Apple Tree By'

I didn't even see Miranda July's 'The Future' but I read reviews, and an interview with July about a sick cat in a shelter named Paw Paw… If the irresponsible couple that has committed to adopting and caring for it doesn't show up on the scheduled day to pick the cat up, it will be put down. In the interview she said…

I liked their first album quite a bit… I don't listen to music with any kind of focused scrutiny anymore though…. Individual songs don't exactly leap out of the speakers, but I don't think that's the point. It's about the vibe: Girl group vocals, surf rock instrumentation, and a shoegazey/dream pop production, I…

The pedophelia though not so much.

He's still an outlaw in my eyes.

I can't un-hear it! *sobs*

Can they show this back-to-back with 'Soaked In Bleach' as a double feature maybe?

I Wikipedia'd the term before I posted (not that their definitions don't contain inncuracies), but hebephiles are attracted to pubescent children typically aged 11-14 (Ellen Page's character is supposed to be 14, right?), and ephebephiles are attracted to mid-to-late adolescents typically aged 15-19 (which is to say…

A friend of mine made the same point (about a petite teenaged girl not being strong enough to drag and maneuver an adult male)… I missed the first part of the movie (stumbled across it on IFC while channel surfing), so I feel like I saw a different movie. I watched a movie of a man desperately trying (and ultimately…

Too bad that Residents album of one-minute songs was so much more interesting and fun to read/think about than listen to

So now the next sSyFy shark movie will have a scene where a shark is killed with darts, or ooh, waitaminnit, what if it's some kind of mutant shark that shoots darts out of its, erm, eyes, or fin, or something, somehow..? I'll let myself out. *17Snowmen gently closes door behind him as he leaves*

Provided they make the car's horn sound like the one from the 1977 James Brolin flick 'The Car', I'm sold!

Moe's story at the NRA meeting was both dark and funny as hell… It coulda gotten ugly, but I shot him in the spine. The next place he tries to rob had better have a wheelchair ramp!

Britta Phillips had better be involved in some way.
