Who?

I love it when they hype up a movie by namedropping A-List names for months, then you end up with B-Lister dregs.

Too many hipster bands.

I seemed to have gotten it confused with Scenes From The Class Struggle In Beverly Hills, so for a long time I thought Nolte also did the son.  Haven't seen either for a good 20 years though, and am in no hurry to.

Stephen King once wrote about a pre-teen gangbang in It, so, yeah, he's serious.

I keep screaming "I am the MIGHTY MONARCH!"

1998-1999 was when I bailed on what I'd consider Pop Music:  the stuff that dominates the cultural landscape.  Now it's either old stuff, indie stuff, or obscurities.

Coundown, 1983 to me is this:

I fell asleep during a showing of ROTJ at the drive in the year it came out.  Once they got to the teddy bears, I was bored.  I'd seen Dawn Of The Dead and Goldfinger by then.

I grew up in Australia, so hearing Murmur was underwhelming, when this was Top 10 the year before.  I still think it's better than Radio FreeEurope.

"Toilet Break" in our house.

Way ahead of you, mate.

Yawn.  Someone said something dumb that we could have easily ignored, but no… commence Two Minute Hate.

I had a bunch of their stuff, thinking it was cutting edge.  Now the drums that once seemed like falling civilisations just seem… quaint.  I'm kind of embarrassed, but I guess girls have their New Kids On The Block albums to hide at the back of their collections and boys have this.

@avclub-c8c9e888e14fd07ccbe557b7deb015d3:disqus My producer and I are deliberately mixing my album for vinyl for full dynamic range.  The label have asked what about the cd version, and I said "What *about* the CD version?"

… which is how i discovered the record known as 'Waiata' is the one that's called 'Coroboree' in Australia.

Oh, you just reminded me of the truly hideous 'new' fake Famous Five books by some French Woman in the early 80's.

My childhood-purchased vinyl copy of Split Enz's 'Time And Tide' has a scratch between 'Pioneer' and 'Six Months In A Leaky Boat' that sounds like a blast of static.  I expect to hear it and it sounds wrong on CD because of it.

I remember Andy Partridge trumpeting that the recent vinyl re-release of 'Skylarking' now had the polarity corrected.  A friend said "The incorrect polarity is why it fucking sounds like Skylarking!"

This is why i just buy old records.
