Anyone ever see "The Manhattan Project"? Now that's got some great Lithgow scenery chewing. And he's holding a nuclear weapon at the end, yelling at the dad from "Frasier". Good times.

Federal prisons don't allow prisoners to receive any magazines or printed material with nudity in them.

I wish I could remember where I found it, but I distinctly remember reading an article or review in which the writer describes giving either that Sugarcubes album or a mixtape with "Birthday" on it to some girl, and weeks later hearing her walking around their campus singing its wordless chorus to herself. That's…

@phel & S&RB - Where the hell are all the women who love Otis Redding hiding? It normally just elicits a confused glare from…well…anybody.

@Riff Randell: Find Al Green's cover of "I Want to Hold Your Hand". Like everything he touches, he owns it. I think it was on some outtakes comp released in the late '80s.

Hey, "I Drove All Night" was fantastic in its Roy Orbison cover incarnation. I love his slightly overproduced Jeff Lynne-ified late '80s work. His voice never lost a step. And "She's a Mystery to Me" is better than everything U2 has ever done, no questions asked.

Nick Lowe's "True Love Travels on a Gravel Road" is definitive.

I guess I have been a bit of an ogre.

Yeah, well, B.I.G. was never all that good himself.

How bout Worcester? We're cooler than…uh…we're at least as cool as Waterbury, Hartford, and Holyoke.

It's not even the dumbest "I don't know who this celebrity is that died, but I will loudly and ignorantly state that I've never heard of them and belittle you all for knowing them" thread I've been involved in.

Holy fuck. That's terrifying. I knew the avatars would turn this place into the sub-basement at Hannibal Lecter's prison eventually. Who knew it'd be that fast?

I'm still intensely proud of the fact that I saw Joe and the Mescaleros in '01. I didn't hear "White Man", though everyone screamed for it, but "London's Burning" and a cover of "Blitzkrieg Bop" as encores certainly made up for that. Maybe the best show I ever saw.

Plus "2541" is a great Grant Hart solo song. That's worth something.

Damned right. Even Mag Earwhig!/Collapse-era GBV would be awesome, even if it does lack Sprout. I should have gone to see Boston Spaceships last year.

I think he plays with every Attractions except bassist Bruce Thomas. Far as I knew, EC was still pissed at Bruce for how he portrayed EC in his book, "The Big Wheel".

I've got an uncle, who I want to say was born circa '47-48, who grew up in Somerville and Billerica, and he still refers to soda as "tonic" periodically. I think it's a dying colloquialism.

Best line in the whole damn thing:
"Dirty one for me, Forrest!" How droll!

It's in the "season introduction" where Groening gives a two-minute talk over some clips that he refers to "Principal and the Pauper" as his "least favorite episode". He's not on the commentary.

I agree. Dylan seems to have a healthy disrespect for his legacy and anyone who values his legacy. And the Victoria's Secret ad had merit - back in one of his balletic press conferences in the '60s, he flippantly told a reporter that the only thing he'd ever sell his music for was ladies' underwear. And sure enough,…
