We'll just have to agree to disagree. The tunes are far from classics but equidistant from dreck, as well. But that's just me.

Um, no.

I hear ya. But all the subsequent albums have at least a song or 2 worth checking out. Btw, Here Comes the Bride is a sleeper.

I dunno…“Andro Queen”, “Another Toe in the Ocean” and “Indie Cindy” might be a tad more Frank Black and the Catholics than the mothership. But “What Goes Boom”, is what you’d expect from Charlie Thompson and his co-horts at this stage of the game: a nod at their past that’s not too reverential but nevertheless makes a…

Pretty partial to Who's Next; "The Song is Over" is probably my fave Who song.

Jack Black? Hmm…why not?

You know there are plenty of Beverly Hills children of privilege whose careers in music or film go absolutely nowhere despite their connections, right? Scores of 'em.

Um, "You gave me something I understand / you gave me loving in the palm of my hand…", no room for doubt there, eh? heh heh
