let's not forget mark romanek directed both of these music videos, which is all kinds of weird

Yeah, my school formal was at the Grand Chancellor in Christchurch, and it was bloody horrible.  You lucked out, and saved money at the same time.

Well, maybe not those songs, but I'm sure there are plenty of pop songs in the past decade which will probably be remembered as classics.    There's way more music today, but I don't think overall it's necessarily worse - the 60s - 70s "classics" have the benefit of several decades years of pop culture telling us how…

Naw, this was 100x better than Eagle Vs Shark, because unlike that film, Boy is actually pleasant to watch.  Rabin has it about right with his B+

Hi, I'm Maori.  PS. What?

chomsky's got a lot to say about advertising and its effect on media message. i mean, that bastion of my undergraduate media degree, "manufacturing dissent" came out in like 1980

yeah i'm hearing the ska song, both here and at pitchfork. what?

glad good. real smooth.

yeah it's based on samples, like a lot of hip hop is. that doesn't make it bad. i mean, there's nothing great here in terms of songwriting (though there are some killer melodies etc) but it's evocative and atmospheric enough to work on those terms. i'm glad good it's a short album, but i'm really digging it

yeah but if your pants are tight, you're gonna be alright

nah, there's nothing good about blenheim. once i had a hamburger there, and it actually had ham on it. total bullshit.

a gta game would be successful if they played it remarkably true to the games

i'm gonna go into bat for long long long as one of the best songs on the white album, and probably my favourite harrison composition. its mood of isolation and (yes) longing are totally successful, and it's one of his best vocals

when i was a boy, i had a SSSSSILVER DOLLAR

nah i'm sorry but johnny cage totally ruined the first movie. i was real glad when he got it at the start of the second one

the best part of that muffin picture is what's written on the piece of paper under the muffin

best bit: at the end of the second game, the player character just coming out and saying what we're all thinking

the only flying nun act that really comes close to belle and sebastian levels of pussydom are like the chills or something

see, i loved smashing pumpkins as a teenager, then kind of hated them, but seriously there's a real good shoegazey kind of vibe to siamese dream (which is also sort of evident in machina II, of all albums) that kind of endears them to me more than most of the other alt-rock bands of the 90s
