"In the year 2000, historians will reveal that Fuzzy Wuzzy was not in fact a bear with no hair, but a cruel and brutal dictator who murdered his own people."

VI was pretty terrific, all told.

Black Dynamite
…drive a five thousand dollar car.

Mort dans un feu.

Devo
Devo had better tour the US and Canada in support of their new album. I live within two hours of three major cities and they haven't played any of them since Lollapalooza '97.

Gear down, big rig. It's just an expression.

I saw The Thin Red Line for the first time ever just this week. And it's pretentious shit.

Some friends and I saw "Flyboys" as the only people in the theatre. It was great. We MST3K'ed the whole movie, and at one point I went and sat down on the floor in front of the gigantic screen. Always had wanted to do that but never would in front of people.

Geddy - five years in a row. Wouldn't miss it for the world.

I haven't had any monumentally bad experiences, but the worst was probably seeing "Downfall" at an art-house theatre and having the idiot couple behind me talk non-stop through it. At one point I said loudly "if you want to watch a movie you don't have to pay attention to, don't come to an art house" but it didn't do…

That's like tellin' Gene Krupa not to go "boom boom bam bam bam, boom boom bam bam bam, boom boom boom bam ba ba ba ba, da boo boo tss!"

I enjoy your Dadaist sentence structure and wish to subscribe to your ointment.

QUIET! YOU

Ed's actually a teetotaler as well - guy grew up with an alcoholic father and has never really drank because he didn't want to be like his old man.

BNL = Devo
Barenaked Ladies are like Devo. Both were fucking phenomenal bands that explored a hugely dark side of humanity, but had one gigantic novelty hit that pretty much ate up whatever they did.

I'm with you. I don't watch reality TV except for Top Chef and Project Runway because they're the only shows that are strictly about ability, not making friends.

I fully intend to re-use that "gay as a French horn" remark and make it my own.

Pop culture isn't as important once you've got real concerns. Too bad Harry Chapin died before he could make that into a twelve-minute song.

I think the moment that encapsulates Conan's brilliant strangeness better than any other was "Awesome Dave's Counting Channel".

Loewen's "Lies Across America" is also worthwhile reading.
