A mixed bag
Eno - the Ambients and 'Singing Albums', especially "Before and After Science"
Ron Sexsmith - cheers me up up in a downbeat way
Nick Drake - see above
…and many, many more

No "Family Guy" Stewie?
What is the world coming to?

Better song titles than songs
They're an acquired taste - a very acquired taste.

Did he do a mild-meld with Zachary Quinto
just to be on the safe side?

Punk and others
I was a teen when it broke in 1976,and it was a seismic shift. However, I didn't abandon my love for the so-called dinosaurs of rock (like Pink Floyd, who also made a big impression, but it certainly reinvigorated my passion for music that lasts until this day.

And how often do you drop "Make it so" into conversations? ;)

Read the biography
if you haven't already. A real page turner.

"England's Dreaming" every time.

Some suggestions
"Hoover Factory" - Elvis Costello
"Long, Long, Long" - The Beatles (well, GH really)
Any drone track on Yo La Tengo's later albums

Good interviewee choice
And I love the idea that Altman saw his projects as 'parties.' Neat-o.

One my all time favorites
I have the DVD, and the soundtracks on LP and CD. The collectible action figures passed me by though.

The soundtrack CD is good, but (whether you like it or not) it is filled with soundbites from the movie.

Thanks. I have quite a lot of Dub, but have never read a good book on it. 'Thesis-y' - sounds ideal for me!

Good, comprehensive book on Dub?
Can anyone recommend one?

modell & phipps
Costello and The Wedding Present - good choices, sirs!

One other thing
Julian Cope has written a couple of good books on German and Japan music (he has a thing with Axis countries' post WWII music output. That and LSD).

Interesting…
…as I've just got into them (that's what young people say, isn't it?)

"Needless to say,…
…I had the last laugh"

What was in Alan's drawer?
The Partridge Linton Travel Tavern MacGuffin…well, sort of…

"Don't rub your fanny on me!"
