You might be a redneck if I keel you. Tater salad'll git r done. Here's your sign.

I've been telling everybody I know about Brother Ali since I heard "Take Me Home" on AVC's mid-2008 music review.

Sleater-Kinney blows the "chicks can't rock" argument out of the water. The drumming alone on "Entertain" from "The Woods" just floors me.

After carefully re-reading Noel's description I'm in agreeance with you guys on my mis-categorizations, but I can say that it's been fun thinking about some of the stuff I used to listen to (and still do in some cases).

Tharp's mention of Scruffy the Cat (Tiny Days was their best LP, IMHO) got me thinking of some of the other 80s power pop I used to listen to (some already mentioned):

It's tough to pick a favorite but I've got to go with "Custard Pie" — gets the led out every time. "Hey, Hey What Can I Do" is a close second. I had it on 45 and I think it was the fliip side to "Whole Lotta Love."

With a little Midnight Oil mixed in for good measure.

Is this the same as All Star Squadron? I collected that one as a kid and remember liking the whole return-to-the-Silver-Age vibe of it.

Hosea's thing with Stefan borders on obsession. Anybody else notice that he was wearing the same outfit as Stefan at Emeril's restaurant? The guy needs to just let it go.

If you weh a wookie, what kind of wookie would you be?
…
No, I mean wookie as in walking cahpet not as in fuhst yeah.

"Shake Your Rump" is a great delayed wake-up call, but I'd also recommend the immediate impact of "5-Piece Chicken Dinner." Anybody ever crank it up and listen to what the boys are yelling in the background on that track?

question for Steve
The NY Times published a piece on Adam Baldwin yesterday. Is this merely coincidence or has the press suddenly taken a liking to him? Just curious.

I remember Matt Dillon being really good and sleazy in this as the leader of a group that bullies the nerdy main character (too lazy to look up the actor's name on IMDB). This was probably only his 2nd or 3rd film.

About a Bond?
You Only Live Nine Months?
Four Weddings and an Odd Job?

David Keith is a white Southern actor — been in a ton of stuff (I remember him from way back in "The Lords of Discipline," based on the Pat Conroy novel). Keith David is a black actor best known for his very long fight scene with Roddy Piper in "They Live" and unzipping the franks and beans in "There's Something…

I swear I posted that before seeing Rockford's comment. Great minds think alike, I suppose.

Let's not forget Keith David. Tell it, Keith!

He's like that friend you go out drinking with that is just trying way too hard to be funny. Relax, Toby.

In Other Words, you don't need a fast car — just get that nitrous oxide hooked up. It cut my commute time in half!

Why not also get Matthew Broderick to reprise his "30 Rock" cameo as a (former) member of the Bush admin and do a cross-over spin-off show (or would it be a spin-off cross-over)? Broderick and Poehler? Now that would be a funny show.
