Was it me, or did they insert a sound effect when Maria's "boobs" were revealed? It had a 5th-rate early '80s T&A film vibe (it wouldn't surprise me if they lifted the scene from somewhere - the entire episode felt like a pastiche of '80s movie scenes/montages - all tied together very well, btw.)

I'm probably going to get slammed for this, but I thought Mr. Moynihan did a great job on "Girls" (as Thomas-John's Best Man.) With the right collaborators, he could be the next Seth Rogen (?!)

Saw him at Seattle's Bumbershoot festival in 2002(?) He was wearing these gold lamé pants (and was able to pull it off.) As with any summer outdoor music festival in Washington State, the obligatory "dancing hippie chick" was in the audience bouncing and swaying to "Perfect Day" (the last song he played.) After the

Well, that explains the continuity problems with that big bearded guy sitting in the table behind Rupert Pupkin when he's on a date with Rita in "The King of Comedy."

The 10-minute "freakout performance" of "Listen to the Band", from "33⅓ Revolutions Per Monkee." The Pre-Fab Four, Julie Driscoll and Brian Auger, The Buddy Miles Experience, and Rip Taylor, all on the same soundstage?

That behemoth guy…He was Billy Joe Bob from "Varsity Blues."

Wait a second. Are you saying "Boo" or "Boo-urns?"

Umm…both of the above?

Anyone else watch PE's Rock and Roll Hall of Fame induction/performance and wish they had a longer career? If they hadn't done that "Give it up, give it up, give it up, give it up, now" song (their half-hearted response to gangsta rap) in '94, and maybe followed the Beastie Boys' method of one quality disc every 3 or

"The Ballad of Mott the Hoople." No symbolism, metaphors, hidden meanings, or sentimental memories that the song may evoke among friends + family. I just like Mott the Hoople.

Based on physical transformation, would Steve Jones be the Dan Aykroyd of the '70s punk scene? 

Was it Dale Bozzio?

"Where is Kirby Keger?!?"

It was swiped from "The Adventures of Buckaroo Banzai", but the next-to-final scene from "The Life Aquatic with Steve Zissou" set to Bowie's "Queen Bitch" (complete with Ned Plimpton in silhouette.) Seu Jorge's version of "QB" in the theater while the below-the-line credits are running is a good final final scene as

At the time "Instant Club Hit" came out, PiL had released "Happy?", which sounded more "polished-for-the-"120 Minutes"-crowd" than their previous discs.

Love this doc; when I worked at a certain movie database that's on the Internet, the studio sent over a promotional "backstage pass" that I attached to my ID badge.

I'd love to see "Skatetown, U.S.A" in a proper cleaned-up format, but I don't think anyone is going to shell out hundreds of thousands of dollars for the music rights. 

…and it's a note-for-note cover of a U.K. Glam Rock song.

If I remember correctly, the first David Spade as Dick Clark's Receptionist sketch ("And you are…..?? And this is concerning…….?") was the final sketch of the MC Hammer episode (host and musical guest.) When they re-ran this episode, they edited it so this sketch appeared after "Weekend Update."
