Adventures In Utopia is a really great pop/new wave album. I still play the hell out of it, especially "Second Nature" and "Rock Love". Also, it contains one of the worst lyric lines I've heard on any Rundgren project. In "Last of the New Wave Riders": "…and the whole universe is a giant guitar". That rivals Neil…

Hey, that *is* a good cover.

Hi. I was born in '62, and I think I have more Todd albums than years on Earth. I'm not bragging, more like confessing. Anyway, your Dad did a great job on this, Marah. But I'm jealous, so screw you, Old Man. Another confession: I often find Todd Rundgren über-fans pretty annoying. Sometimes, when I've seen…

I've been a Todd fan practically my whole life, and now that I'm officially an old man, I have just one complaint.  Years ago, his shows were like a huge party, and you'd meet the coolest people there.  Now, they're crammed with pretentious former-hippie douches and douchettes in designer clothes who have no idea how…

That's "Losing It", with Ben Mink on violin.  It has become, over the years, my favorite song on that album.  The beginning is ballad-y, but it builds to the kind of crescendo that feels like a primal scream or a hundred wolves howling at the moon.  Also, now that I'm a cranky old man, I can appreciate the subject.…

"The Galgamek vagina is four feet tall and filled with razor sharp teeth!  Surely you don't expect us to have sex with THAT?!"

Listening to a Coldplay song starring Rihanna on vocals is like eating an entire bag of candy while a high school cheerleader hits you in the ears with her pom-poms.

Did you hear about the drummer who accidentally locked his keys in his car?

O'Neal:  "Hey, you guys, watch me start a second amendment debate".

I "Recommend" taking the above dating advice quite seriously.

Setting aside for a moment the facts that people's tastes in partners vary wildly, and that an awful lot of people are not very bright, I think it's a mistake to describe yourself in terms of which television shows you like in an online dating profile.  It's like saying "Oh hell, I don't know myself very well… will…

Agreed.  Ran was the first Kurosawa film I saw, when it first came out, in a now-defunct art house theater.  Fucker blew my mind.  I could have used that lost mind many times since.

Insane Puppet Posse
I was just the right age when these Saturday morning shows were coming out—grade school through junior high. Their manic, madcap characters and magic-mushroom productions had a profound effect on my developing tastes. To this day, I would rather watch a psychedelic puppet show than just about…

As you know, in each article we bring you a theme, and several comment threads based on that theme. This thread comes to us from independent producer "mad", and we're calling it "The Devil's in, But He Fails". Our story begins with the 11billionth relinking to a mildly humorous, though broadly drawn, satire…

Hey, that's great.
So… is O'Neal in the bathroom, or what?

No, not that coat. The Coat Of Many Come-Stains.
