I believe it's technically Jawaiian, that awful pop/reggae hybrid that's mildly popular in the mainland U.S., but enormously, impossibly popular in Hawaii and much of the South Pacific.

What's so weird about Maroon 5 is that they were one kind of shitty pop band, were over, vanished for a few years, and then came back as another kind of shitty pop band that's even more successful.

Regardless, wouldn't any action here begin with the phrase, "The police are on their way"?

OK, here's what what really bothered me. Someone comes across the scene of an obviously violent crime, with a person who might be severely injured and a damaged, disabled truck in the middle of the road, and calls… THE ICE CREAM COMPANY? And then waits the, what, hour or so, until they arrive without ever considering…

Speaking of which, wasn't the building they walked by to get to the school the apartment where Jesse and Jane lived in BB?

MS. MS has happened with Exene.

I believe you mean a stripe-ped shirt.

Uh… huh. Hmmm. I'm trying to recall when/how this happened. Are you referring to the general con that Don/Dick pulled on the agency, or some specific incident?

Another parallel I can see, to some extent, is Kim/Howard = Don Draper/Roger Sterling.

That's actually a very good point that I'm glad you made.

Zing! Well, you showed me.

Great? Seriously? She was adequate in each, and awful—like Keanu Reeves bad—in everything else she's done.

Boom! You may drop the mic, CineCraft.

Exactly. It's like, "Wow, she was really… tiny and not unattractive in that movie, I guess." I don't get what the fuss is about.

No doubt. I had a friend who was a huge, obsessed Rainer Maria fan. The show was basically… him and me.

Ah! Actually, I can totally see that. The Violent Femmes were also an ultimately inconsequential, but enormously popular, omnipresent soundtrack of the early- to mid-'80s college music scene. You never heard them off campus; you couldn't escape them on campus.

But it's also—to some extent—true, and Lou Reed's mojo was strong in the early punk community. So while you may not like the message, it's a bit silly to discount it.

Eat some sushi first.

And the Mary Tyler Moore Show theme. Which was awesome, btw.

And WHERE is this enormous footprint? Who is in the Pixies' sphere of influence? What do you listen to and say that this has the Pixies' fingerprints all over it?
