That reminds me, I would love to throw a bottle and or a shoe at Dave Mustaine, and I'm a Megadeath fan.

I kid, I kid. Love the guy.
I think you guys are thinking of David Brenner, or maybe Franklyn Ajaye?
Lee Ving
that's it.
Nice. Prime Cut is awesome. Gene Hackman is a total badass in that as well. Badass…Hackman style.
You tell him I'm coming! Tell him I'm fucking coming!
After Robert Mitchum, off the top of my head…
John Ford and Sam Peckinpah in every doc I've ever seen them in.
Bruce Dern in The Cowboys (he kills John Wayne)…and just about anything.
Warren Oates, the same..
Walter Matthau in The Laughing Policeman.
Jack Nicholson in Five Easy Pieces, The Last Detail, Chinatown, Cuckoo's…
Back and to the left…..back and to the left.
Miles Davis.
I love Miles…but Human Nature and Time After Time? Just a floundering era for him. I suppose the 80's did that to a number of artists, come to think of it.
Funny because…
Did anyone read this from the other day?
Have to say I agree, glad I saw them…but. That said, whatever you do, avoid The Lovely Bones. Just saw it. Holy jumpin' shit balls! Fucking terrible. Actually worth seeing if one wants to see what a mess a movie can be.
So know what you're sayin!
And I, funny enough, was also a fucking huge Police fan,…I mean diehard! …as were my older brothers. I have Schoener's Video Magic on vinyl somewhere. Bought around the same time I scored the soundtrack to Brimstone and Treacle, and later even bought a bootleg of Mike Howlett's Strontium 90…
Have not seen one in years, brings back memories. I remember they even started putting them in Blockbusters in around 87-88, obviously for video, but also for music. What's interesting is at major retailers, you never saw a fucking soul using them. They just stood there. "Hey, what's that big fuckin' yellow book in…
i and 1, so true…sat with that damn Schwann catlogue many a night. Remembering when you used to have go search…everyday was a search.
Btw, just listened to China and El Greco (97) the other day, both hold up.
Great call on The Clash (and Sandanista fuckin' rocks!) and MST3K, that and I would add The Larry Sanders Show, SCTV…and I have thousands of comedy and novelty records, used to be an obsession.
What she said, and Devo and Cheap Trick.
Warren, didn't see those slapback machines (museum pieces?) But did see all that vintage acoustic set tile everywhere but the floor, that Ampex reel to reel, CLASSIC fucking ribbon mics…amazing shit. Truly badass.
Chicago area malls….
and not that far from the house, that count? The Blues Brother's Dixie Square Mall in Harvey (snuck on the roof one summer…trespassing charge) and the car spindle stack in a Berwyn (Wayne's World) …used to pass it every day.
Did pretty much the same thing in '04, went to visit some family from Chicago, and a made a goddamn point of making my way to Largo to see him. He was actually playing in Silverlake all that week. so I saw him, just not at Largo, but with Aimee Mann…very cool. I have since seen him a couple times. Good times.
That's very cool, Muscle Shoals, amazing history. The first time I was in NY (from Chicago) in '91, to really catch Lollapalooza and see Paul Simon in Central Park (fucking nightmare!) we made a point to make it to CBGBS. It was a Monday night, I wasn't carded, was taken with really what a dive it was…and who ever we…
