To me, "Web in Front" (both the song and the video) is the early 90s distilled into two minutes. Every single signifier I can think of that sums up rock music from that era is there, and it's god damn perfect.

clearly draws a lot of water in this town.
Aaaaaaaaaand joaquinstick wins this thread.
Agreed with Djur on all counts, but I would add one thing: "To All The Girls" is the fucking tits.
Yeah, that's kind of a given. Squeeze is about as much a VU album as the New Cars was a Cars album. I don't think anyone really places it in the pantheon of VU albums.
Smiths
Sure, they only technically released four "studio albums," but if you don't consider Hatful of Hollow and Louder Than Bombs "albums," then fuck you.
Thirded. HN runs long, but its only crime is having too many ideas. I always think "man, this album should be six or seven tracks shorter," but when I go through the songs, I can't really think of anything I would cut except maybe "Dedication" and "Dr. Lee PhD." 22 tracks with that many making it over the goal line is…

I was reading the comments on a TV Club Mad Men review once, and I can't remember what the discussion was about, but one of the commenters said something really profound, which was to the effect of "If two people who looked like Joan Holloway and Don Draper worked in the same office in real life, they would be…
MySpace in a nutshell
This article prompted me to log into my MySpace page which I hadn't done as far as I know in well over a year.

I can't believe no one has brought it up, because for me the greatest was always indisputably "The Three Daves." "I riggedy realized that…I liggedy love you."
Umm
Amarcord?
Yeah! And it was an album!
Shit
And here I was thinking this was the new album from Dawez Dillinger.
Pfft, whatever. After the shit Jim Carrey has been cranking out for the past ten years, I greet the news of Lloyd Christmas' resurrection like that of a beloved, exiled king of making the most annoying sound the world.
Last year they justified not covering Delocated because "there wasn't enough interest," and one of the commenters shattered that myth immediately by saying something like "by that logic, you should have ten writers covering Two and a Half Men and American Idol." So basically, no, of course they won't review Delocated,…
