@avclub-22ccdfd754d960a956f6c93089a0e196:disqus You're not the only one. I feel like such a terrible person when I hit the deep 90s stuff in my CD collection, and yet, I probably still know all the words to the back half of Collective Soul's self-titled. Welp.

Iha's always been my favorite Pumpkin, and it's an absolute crime that he didn't get more of a say in that band's output.

Is "Magic" the flick where the evil dummy ends up, in one scene, hanged and gagged in a closet? I remember that visual from flicking past HBO one afternoon in the late 80s, but nothing else because fuck if I was going to keep watching a movie with an evil puppet.

Mr. Whiskers is an excellent cat name, though. It immediately should enter the rock-musician-owned-cat-name hall of fame along with Snacks and Jimmy McShambles.
