Blatant racism, sexism and poor grammar aside, do model types just roll up for an extras casting call? Don't they have agents, and cost real cash?

Yep a guy who wrote a song called The Freed Pig about J Mascis is surprisingly coy about the subject of love loss among band members.

U2 have a private foundation set up in the Netherlands as a tax shelter. This is while Boner is campaigning for developed nations to do more for poverty in the 3rd World. Just don't ask U2 or any other rich people to help with that through like paying tax or anything.

Can I also say how enjoyable Scott Walker: 30 Century Man is. Lulu's face after confessing a big Scott crush upon hearing Tilt.

The Electrician fascinates me to no end. I mean it's 19 fucking 78. It's post punk before punk had even finished. What did the record company think? This was a single!? How many people actual bought the record at the time? I mean, were they expecting No Regrets redux? That record is hugely cherished now, but what…

The Old Man's Back Again.

Hmmm, this a fascinating topic. Do you need to be a genius to play a genius? Do you need to be cineaste to have an interesting and compelling filmography?

So you must go thermonuclear when you hear that Moby song sung by Gwen Steffani?

Why does Charlize Theron only speak American?

"supermodel whose English is a second language" is hilarious on a lot of levels. The one I'm going to saviour is that her beau, The Stath himself, also can't speak English or do an accent.

Damien Lewis went to Eton, the alma mater of a third of all British prime ministers; he's posh beyond belief.

Idris Elba has said in an interview that he never revealed that he was a Brit when being cast for The Wire precisely because he feared this type of reaction.

Scott Walker, Gene Clark, Ian Mackaye.

Also, Map Ref. 41°N 93°W, is pretty much a perfect pop song. So is The 15th. However, I got to say, even though it hurts a little bit, that Fischerdoucher's version is just about perfect. Given it's their best song by about a thousand miles, I'll score that one for Wire.

Hence the term dadrock.

@Count of Monte Crisco
Actually, original Angier dies the first time he tests the machine and his clone shoots him.

He also used to be a very good bass player, playing those Felder/Jamerson lines live required real skill. I say used to cause I doubt he's picked up a bass in anger in 30 years.

NASA left a lot of crap on the moon, Andy saw good salvage value there, if only he could…build a rocket. He does!

You know, early Ministry is really good pop music. Does Al still disown it because I seem to hear tracks like I Wanted to Tell Her far more than the industrial stuff these days?

I saw her on the opening ceremony, I said to my wife, who's this chick, she told me and I said hmm, I've never seen her before.
