I should have guessed this was going to happen, but I am somewhat annoyed that Shout Factory have made the Season 3 disc exclusive to this box. Boo.

The Soundtrack Of Our Lives were good but Union Carbide Productions were better.

"Is it medically possible to die of embarrassment?"

feedtime's catalog has been reissued, and they're even touring the US for the first time. See them instead. They're much better than The White Stripes ever were.

Another great "Home Movies" musical: "Timmy" - the rock opera about the kid who went insane from boredom.

No Kirsten Dunst for Melancholia, one of the most accurate portrayals of depression ever filmed?
Too bad Albert Brooks was snubbed. If he had won, the audience could have chanted "Richie! Richie! Richie!" as he took the stage (consult your copy of "Comedy Minus One" if you don't get the reference).

Before he retires, I'd like to see Soderbergh do a "Last Waltz"-style documentary on Guided By Voices.

I like it. Not as great as Greg Demos landing on his ass during GBV's Letterman appearance the other week, but I like it fine. It does seem like the joke missed a good portion of the audience though, but that may be because a lot of them weren't even born in 1977.

"Chuck Heston was in the movie, too/but he was just a ham."

So could someone clear up for me as to what the "Dust Sucker" CD is? Is it alternate takes of "Bat Chain Puller" material, or just an early unfinished mix of the album?

I once read that one of Kate Bush's favorite songs was "Tropical Hot Dog Night". I can't imagine her trying to cover it. 

THE BEST CHRISTMAS MUSIC:
 - any of John Fahey's Christmas records
 - The Celibate Rifles' tune someone else mentioned earlier
 - The Fall's December '94 John Peel session
 - The Beatles' 1967 "Christmas Time Is Here Again" (in fact, The Beatles Fan Club Christmas records serve as a handy chemical history of The Fab…

Another musician in Cosgrove Hall's employ: Jimmy Hibbert of Albertos Y Lost Trios Paranoias (they were kind of like a punk-rock Bonzo Dog Band). He did voices for "Danger Mouse" and also wrote for "Count Ducklula".

I'm now imagining that in some afterlife somewhere, Cliff Burton is turning to Sterling Morrison and saying, "Dude, aren't you glad that at least we didn't get sucked into THIS?"

Seems like the next step would be John Cale fronting Megadeth on a remake of "The Threepenny Opera", and then Jonathan Richman backed by Testament playing selections from "Cabaret". Eventually it would degenerate into Willie Alexander and Flotsam And Jetsam jamming on the Amanda Palmer songbook.
So you see, it COULD be…

Favorite "unhappy endings": pretty much any of those BBS Films in the "America: Lost & Found" box. Easy Rider; Five Easy Pieces; The King Of Marvin Gardens; Head ("when you see the end in sight, the beginning may arrive")
