My daughter has a poster of him.  I'm glad she likes him more than the kids in One Direction

I would have *killed* to see Gadget and Neubauten when they were playing concerts together. Apparently Tovey was something of a monster playing live and broke both his ankles when he stage dived on to a crowd who just ran away.  He ended up finishing the concert sitting on the edge of the stage before going to the…

Fine woodworking makes me envious.

I like that, nice spaces.

I hadn't heard that there was a controversy about that.  I mean if nude children was an issue you'd have to throw out most of the Italian Renaissance's art.

The A/B/C designation wasn't an attempt at ranking quality, just a ranking of presence.  I'm a high C, maybe low B, but because I post so sporadically that if I stopped commenting here I don't think anyone would ask "whatever happened to Trurl"?

And that's what you are, the Queen of Refuse! So bow down to her if you want, bow to her - bow to the Queen of Slime! the Queen of Filth! the Queen of Putrescence! Boo! Boo! Rubbish! Filth! Slime! Muck! Boo! Boo! Boo!

Fad Gadget, especially the album "Gag".  British post-punk, experimental-industrial. The song "Ad Nauseum", besides all the expected noise, has a string section and people whistling.

NB - I think @avclub-6997a8bd0e1042b70b60c5c879a1780e:disqus , @avclub-bca3531762af8a993c4f60c48fd5e33b:disqus and @avclub-6beb5f589a9fd04c21fcd50db3d9c80c:disqus fall in the "Core" category.

Trurl's Taxonomy of AV Club Commenters

"The Slutty Peach Girl" was one of the sections of the porn version of Kurosawa's Dreams
