But the single-most punk "fuck you" to Corporate America couldn't have happened without The Clash signing to CBS.  I'm talking about the negotiations to release "London Calling" as a double album priced as a single, with The Clash getting CBS to ok a "free" single included with the single album, then slowly including…

No love for "The Devil & Max Devlin"?

Label/streaming service isn't the same as Studio/streaming service.  That's where a lot of these music/movie industry comparisons fail: there's a lot fewer people (at least, there should be) involved in making and distributing an album- 4 guys in a room, plus maybe a producer and/or engineer, who take it to the guy…

My issue with the "classic rock" format (and I've complained about this before) is how it takes a great band, and filters them down to 2 or 3 songs.  It's gotten even worse since Clear Channel came in, but it's always been bad.  It's not just that you don't hear the deep cuts anymore.  You don't even have the chance…

Soon to be 34, here.  My dad was always astounded by how "profound" the lyrics to "Hotel California" are, but would bust it out for his examples of Satanism in rock music and how all such evil must be avoided.  His favorite band was The Carpenters, excepting the once or twice a year when he'd seemingly lose his shit…

Well, that was quite a tangent.

There is something admiribly punk-like about James Taylor- namely, lulling you into complacency over the course of a full Greatest Hits album, then in the last 20 seconds, giving you "mother fuckin' chicken-chokin' steamroller blues".

There's the classic- "What's the difference between a drummer and a large pizza?", "what does Ginger Baker have in common with McDonald's coffee?", and the myriad of answers to "how many drummers does it take to screw in a lightbulb?"

I've spotted a ton of Buffy winks as I've been watching HIMYM on Netflix.  In particular, telepathic conversations.  Also, it could just be a matter of timing, but I did watch the Vamp Willow episode and the episode where they find Stripper Lily within about a week of each other, and found it amusing.

2.5)Ripping off a KFC commercial that had previously mashed up "Werewolves" and "Sweet Home".

I'll just leave this here…

"Classic Rock" stations will always play the same 30 songs they play now (sorry: little bitter- the classic rock station i grew up listening to plays even less now than it did 15 years ago).  "Oldies", on the other hand, is an ever-changing definition.  In the early 80s, "oldies" always seemed to be "50s doo-wop…

Not at all.  Of course, it didn't help that I never go out to bars, and kept reading it as "Erotic Photo Hut".
….which actually sounds kind of awesome.

I have discussed my funeral at length with my wife, so she hopefully knows the plan by now: harvest all the organs that can be donated, throw the rest of the husk onto a fire.  I want an honest-to-God funeral pyre.  I want a wake, I want a roast, I want a buffett and an open bar.  And most importantly, when it comes…

Kill him all you want @drdarke:disqus : Carter will just wake up in some alternate dimension or, barring that, just hallucinate the guy.

My wife has always been perplexed by my love of Zappa, so she was even more confused by "Genius". I finally just told her "This is what I put on when I can't decide which Zappa album to listen to, because it's all of them in the span of about 8 minutes."

Holy crap- this is streaming on Netflix? Granted, I never really thought to look for it, but this is easily one of my top 5 Shakespeare adaptations of all time.  (My wife will insist that I place "10 Things I Hate About You" on that list as well, whether or not I actually want to.)

At this point, I'm just going to go ahead and assume that "Jane Got A Gun" is nothing more than a Blue Harvest intended to throw us all off the scent of Episode VII.  McGregor, obviously reprising as Obi-Wan's blue Force ghosty, who has now taught Padme and Owen to harness their dead midichlorians to communicate with…

Romeo and Juliet (the original text) is pretty much the definition of "melodrama", so I've always enjoyed the fact that Luhrman didn't let that get in the way of a making a visually-arresting take on arguably Shakespeare's most well-known work.  (My wife feels quite the opposite, though, and feels like his attempt at…

Clearly I'm on the fence here- after having just stated that Ohio is vastly superior, I feel the need to point out that Indiana has THE most kick-ass children's museum in the world.  Seriously: no matter how old you are, it's impossible to go there and not have fun.  It's also impossible to see the whole thing in one…
