My kid was raised on TMBG, now she's 13, way into Taylor Swift, but is still happy to listen to TMBG with me, as well as Fountains of Wayne or Brendan Benson. If that means I'm trying to turn her into a hipster-douchebag….well, yeah.

as in "And it's samba time for Tambo and Weep Day for Urine Man". Really.

I do love "Weep Day".

How do they make money off of this?

"The Cap'm" has gone to the top of my list as all time fave TMBG songs, and "The Mesopotamians", "With the Dark" and "Contrecoup" are pretty great, too.

TMBG has always been a band I could share with my daughter form a young age. Now she's 14, she still loves them, and we've seen them together a few times.

Their latest adult album, "The Else" is a great album, their best since "Apollo 18". They did put out some really crappy albums in there (do they even acknowledge the existence of "Mink Car"? They don't play any songs off of it…), and I had lost faith after "The Spine", but I was really happy to find "The Else" has…

Just finished Al Kooper's autobiography…
called "Backstage Passes and Backstabbing Bastards", and it was great, I highly recommend it to all (I read the iKIndle version which has been updated to 2008), and I mention this because he says that if he's remembered for ONE THING it's that the Brill Building was DEAD by…

Awww, come on! You can bash hippies, Dimitri Martin, and Juggalos, but why got gotta slap down Eugene Levy? SCTV vets get a pass for life.

RE; across the universe, yeah you know it was a piece of shit but 13 year old girls LOVE IT, so I'm glad at least my daughter is way into the Beatles now.

re: mmcttpbto: "bland renditions"? As opposed to the original recordings of said beloved Beatles classics….that were used in the movie. Did you think they re-recorded "Nowhere Man" or "All You Need is Love" for the soundtrack? PS plus it has"It's all too Much" one my favorite unheraled Beatles songs.

Second Lapalco, it's awesome, his other solo work is excellent, too.

Fine, fine! Didn't realize people were so tetchy. Fine, I'll just drop the whole thing.

Clearly high and couldn't remember his lines? The very definition of charm!

Fast forward through the sketches?
Yeah, I'm sure people did tell you that, Mike - after Joel left the show, all the charm was sucked out of them. When Joel was there (strange how his name did not appear once in this interview, perhaps they agreed to talk only if his name was not brought up) - as I said, when Joel was…

…and the WASP says, "I'll have a Diet Coke".

Thanks, dude, now you've totally killed the joke.

re: ort:, that's exactly when i was a huge fan, during my tween years of the early to mid 1970's, which many consider MAD's heyday. I used to collect back issues at garage sales and gathered quite a complete collection of late-50's thru 60s mags. What interested me was that, first of all, adult entertainers like Bob…

Holy shit, it just struck me! Leonard Pierce IS ZMF! It's so obvious now that you think of it! Have you noticed you never see them in the same place…and, Pierce, those glasses are fooling no one…..
