Franco Battiato's cover of "ruby tuesday" in "children of men" tore me up inside.

my problem with the incredible hulk was that there wasn't anything especially memorable about it. i liked it, and a week later i'd almost forogtten i'd seen it.

well…
…now i just don't know what to think.

you've really got a thing about "respect" on internet message boards, don't you?

as someone said above, he was at least somewhat insightful when he wasn't trying desperately to be pithy and biting. i always imagined him going home, looking in the mirror and saying "oh, toby, you scoundral!" but when he just judged the food he was okay. i actually liked that he could have a strong viewpoint and…

i'm sure you'd thought of this already, noel, but if no one listened to debut albums, few of those bands would ever be able to make follow ups. unless you're suggesting we buy the debuts from every band that comes out and then shelve them for years without knowing whether or not we'll even like them.
