Just watched this and I did find it pretty interesting. Maybe not as strong as When Standup Stood Out or a few other docs, but did enjoy it. And man, I remember when Shydner was everywhere.

I know plenty will disagree, but I think Pardo is hilarious. His stand up material is truly weak, I think he'd even agree. But that isn't really important, it's his crowd work that is unbelievable, and he is one of the only comics doing what he does.

I like Iha enough, and he fits pretty well into say, A Pefect Circle, where he sings harmony, adds texture, but I dare someone to listen to that solo album (Let It Come Down?) from a decade back. Fucking rough!

Yeah, Enuff Z'nuff, they sounded and wanted to be an L.A. band. Terrible.

All in the mix. Alan Moulder's over Andy Wallace. I remember Siamese Dream just had a very unique sound for the time, yes, very very produced, very layered, but Nevermind I always found simply too polished for the material there, Cobain and Grohl even complained about that later. Why they went with Albini on In Utero.…

Stand Up
He's just headin' back to stand up isn't he? He wants his own special, Carlin and Klein style.

Yeah, it should totally be on this list, says as much about Hollywood, filmmaking, manipulation of the audience…etc. as any film I can think of. And how about Mamet's State and Main? James Ivory's The Wild Party?

I'm still hittin' this a couple times a week, it's still great.

Second Birdy, and The Last Temptation of Christ score is also beautiful, groundbreaking production. Speaking of Lanois, you know what gets no love, Sling Blade.

That Cliff Martinez Solaris score is fucking beautiful…as is his score to The Limey, and First Snow. Great drummer too, used to be in the Chili Peppers and The Dickies.

"These balloons blow up into funny shapes and all?"

Quincy Jones' Dollars, check it…

Hell yeah, forgot to mention that a minute ago. It took me forever to score that on disc. Shire was amazing.

To Live And Die in L.A. is amazing, it works so well, as stylish as the film. That's a good one, have not heard it in years..gotta dig that up.

So many….
Anton Karas' The Third Man, awesome, and I love the understated brass of Michael Small's Klute, The Parallax View, Marathon Man, David Shire's All the President's Men. Any late 60's - early 70's Quincy Jones…so funky. Any Carmine Coppola, any Jack Nitzsche, any Gainsbourg, any of the few Strummer did, say…

There is mention by HIM in HIS book how overrated HE and HIS BAND are….asshole. Read it. He is not deluded like yourself. He also says the same thing, throwing The Beatles in with The Stones, in an interview in the latest issue of GQ. And a two line Mom in the sack joke,,,wow guy.

Just finished this the other night
Have to agree, really solid read. Great stories…some hilarious moments. And really interesting to hear someone of his generation, and of his fame, breaking things down on a musical and technical level…open tuning, simplify the riff, what not to play, space, amplified acoustic sounds,…

How awesome is this poster?

Keenan Wynn was amazing, truly underrated. I mean, just for the ten minutes in Strangelove alone…not to mention Once Upon a Time in the West, The Mechanic, Point Blank…the original Serling's Requiem for a Heavyweight. Great actor.
