I just think it's really interesting to hear Branca's influence on Sonic Youth's music. That's not a knock on Moore and Renaldo - I think they're both amazing. But I can't see Sonic Youth sounding anything like it did had those guys not spent time with Branca's compositions, alternate tunings, etc. Since this is a…

I am a little disappointed that the Charlie Parker taxi cab scene won't be in the film.

I'm a big enough dork to probably be into a Miles biopic, but what Cheadle's been talking about sounds really cool and probably way more realistic to pull off.

I'm so into this! Glad that such a great actor is going to realize the Miles film they've been talking about since the 90's.

Sister, Daydream Nation, EVOL, and Goo are all pretty good choices. Then go check out Glen Branca and draw your own conclusions.

Well, this isn't the recording industry per se. Publishing is a bit different. I think it's hard to argue that these sites are taking away revenue from whoever owns the rights to these songs. It seems to me to just be the music industry demonizing itself further by picking a pointless fight. And yeah, your ideas make…

A friend of mine works at Rap Genius. It's kind of a thing that just took off. I don't think they really had any idea how big it would get. Said friend went from working for free to part time to now full time with benefits. While it is a cool site, I've had mixed feelings about it. At the end of the day, it is just a…

He gets a lot of shit from the generation(s) of people who grew up watching "The Simpsons." But all that aside, he's immensely talented. When I watch reruns of "The Cosby Show," I'm always amazed at how Bill can make me laugh even in the middle of those preachy, hokey, saccharine story lines.

That scene was great. I think a lot of the frustration comes from those of us who have read the comics. In that story arc, he's really one of the best villains in contemporary pop culture. A bit more one dimensional, but he's a scary, bad ass psychopath that made a huge impression on comic fans. At first I liked the…

There's a gay couple in the comics.

It was more than that. Jane's Addiction, NIN, Body Count, Primus, and Red Hot Chille Peppers had already started taking over hair metal audiences and making that formulaic sound seem pretty obsolete.

I can still listen to those first two Faster Pussycat albums. but only alone where no one can laugh at me.

I've only heard a few songs, and then only because a student wanted to learn one and because of a time I rented a car with satellite radio. Their name has been everywhere for about a decade, but musically, they're pretty easy to miss.

Yeah, I never figured that out. It made it unwatchable at a time I was usually so stoned I could watch almost anything.

I have a few Lenny Bruce cds that actually contain a lexicon of all the pop culture references he uses. I gotta say, without it, his jokes are pretty unfunny. Even with it, after several decades the topical nature of the bits doesn't really come across, though it's easier to understand how it could have been funny.

I really really really hate Kanye and criticize him constantly to my friends, but I don't see that lyric as homophobic or misogynistic.

Record stores are awesome.

Maybe, but it's gone pretty far from the comics at this point. Kind of like last season when we all thought Axel might end up being a serial killer.

Really? I assumed pre-zombie apocalypse Daryl would ONLY associate with people who couldn't get their demons under control.

I was thinking it would rely heavily on Run DMC/Aerosmith, Young MC, Beastie Boys, and Puff Daddy. Or basically anything that a musically disinterested Gen X-er would remember from adolescence.
