And a soupcon of Julia Roberts's atrocious brogue.

That and the easy access to Dunkin Donuts no matter where you are are the main reasons I love the Commonwealth.

"I'm Mr. Manager"
"Shut up and cook boy!"

Balthazar Getty is torn between loyalty to his family and the possibility of a real life acting job.

Corned beef on sodabread with swiss cheese….because holes, get it?

Yep. I paid that for Red Roses For Me and Rum, Sodomy, and the Lash. I fortunately found a cheap used copy of Poguetry In Motion on vinyl so that wasn't too bad. I also remember paying $27 for Sonic Youth's Daydream Nation and then Geffen reissued it like 6 months later.

Entertainment is one of those albums that still sounds as fresh to me as the first time I heard it. It's just got an energy that never lets up. Pretty much a perfect record.

It's gonna be Farmer In The Dell played with tin whistle and accordion for 2 hours. And I'll still buy a ticket.

It still boggles my mind that Strummer has been dead for 15 years and Shane is still lurching around.

There were 4 Beethoven movies? That's a lot of mileage out of drool jokes.

Bowling is boring as hell but gave us Kingpin. Though I happened to see some pro team bowling league on tv when I was at a restaurant a couple weeks ago and people in the audience were dressed as turkeys. So, maybe I'm the one missing out.

I love Eight Men Out though every time I watch it, I suspect it could've been a much better movie.

Bang The Drum Slowly is pretty good.

Thus all the references to Eddie Shore and Dit Clapper in Wuthering Heights.

My favorite remark about them was from Trouser Press years ago descirbing their influences as "running the gamut all the way from Strummer to Jones".

Probably doesn't fit into a mix of any kind but Frankie Teardrop by Suicide is a really fucked up story stong from the 70's.

As I recall, Red Dog beer was a big thing around that time.

I remember being a big fan of The Bends and then getting this when it came out. Just the kickoff to Airbag was all it took for me to realize "Wow, these guys have really made the leap"

And I had just turned 21 so readily available alcohol was added to the mix. Good times.

I have no problem believing in aliens but purple? They expect us to buy that craziness???
