Pixies - Kim = NO DEAL

Earth.

I don't see what the big stink is here.  If Paul McCartney had chosen to continue on with The Beatles name when he formed Wings nobody would have cared.  Similar to Deal, Lennon was always just that other guy/girl that only kinda made an impact in the band.  McCartney should have just replaced Lennon with, say, Bobby

How long will it be until Brand starts to pitch his own Kickstarter campaigns in order to stay in the public eye?  Probably not soon enough since Hollywood dumb-asses will continue to fund his doomed projects for the next ten years.  I think there is plenty of evidence that America just isn't gonna get into this dude,

Yeah, the fIREHOSE reunion show I saw in San Diego was pretty amazing.  Would love to hear a new album from them judging by how solid Watt's last album with the Missingmen was.  I also find myself listening to the old SST fIREHOSE albums much more than any of the Minutemen stuff these days as well.  I always look at

Anyone else get the feeling that the crowd-sourcing deal has become an easy path to publicity for people that really don't even need to use it?  These two could have easily thrown together a cheap, decent looking video all by themselves with help from a couple of friends.  Of course, they would have by-passed all the

Now THAT is a great song!  I saw them live shortly after Title TK came out.  Hadn't even heard the album yet and this song totally floored me. The perfect mix of a very soft, beautiful song with weird experimental sounds sprinkled all over it.  I would call it the bands' finest moment.  I could easily listen to an

Didn't one of the guys from that band end up in Flop?  Now there is a great Seattle band that never got their due as well.  World of Today is still a masterwork.

I very much agree that certain people should be treated with ridicule as well.  If more people were, many of the tragedies of the past 20 years could have been prevented if you really think about it.  I also like the fact that Maher is smart about politics, but that he doesn't come across as a teacher's pet a la

If the Fastbacks get added to this festival that may be worth a plane ticket.  Perhaps Arlo as well?  And why in the world isn't Blitzen Trapper on this bill yet???!!!! 

Hahahaha…yes.  And, of course, since it will be an episode of Girls, Hannah will be topless during this conversation.

They should just write him out with another random career break, kinda like what they did with his character this season.  The scene could go something like this:

"You are staring at a screen with an image from a film on it.  You can not see this image, but I want you to imagine an ironic caption to accompany this image.  You may find this difficult at first, but even Destro killed it with his comment last week."

Hahahaha…way to live up to yer name with this one!  I have seen some recent footage of Ginn playing solo…and I really wish I had never seen it. 

Well there is no internet Bill of Rights that states you have the right to watch new episodes of Game of Thrones for whatever you feel is a justified price.  I wish I could walk into a movie theater and demand they allow me to watch a film on a friday night for $2.50, but that prolly wouldn't fly.  Just like I can't

Stealing (yes it is just that) did little to help the quality of recorded musical product in the last ten years.  I think that is where you will see (and already see) a decline in the TV/Cable industry as well.  People will still have great ideas for art, they will just have to execute them on a shoestring budget more

The kind of episode that portrayed current early 20-something girls as they are meant to be portrayed which is as Meg Ryan types in 80's romantic comedies?  The kind that zeroes in on the universal appeal of self-inflicted ear drum injuries and OCD as well.  Gotta tie up all those loose ends that just occurred last

Watching this show flounder during its second season, I have come to the conclusion that Girls would have worked better as a 90 minute indie-flick than a fully fleshed out TV show.  It's only the second season and the show seems to have run out of mojo.  The primary issues seem to be that it is running out of ideas

I interviewed him circa Sebastapol and he was the master of one-word answers.  Probably the worst musician I have ever interviewed in terms of substance of conversation.  It almost seemed like he was intent on sabotaging his own career.  I always thought it was funny that after YHF, Farrar would come out with this

"Now if I told you I was concealing, underneath this very large hat, the complete blu-ray box-set for the never-before-seen Freaks and Geeks seasons two through seven…would you sleep with me then?"
