What this movie needed
…was more Timothy Carey. Hell, most movies could have used more Timothy Carey.

Beatles, Bill Hicks
My uncle bought me the Beatles' "Blue Album" (1967-1970) for Christmas in 1980. I was 8. It set me on my path toward being a music obsessive.

Rand al'Thor. Done.

And The Surrounding Mountains
I played the hell out of ATSM when it came out, but haven't checked any of their others out. Looks like I'm due to give them another go.

Marillion? Really? A band that desperately wanted to be Genesis?

Smurf
Well smurf me in my mothersmurfing smurf. If the drive-in was still smurf in my town, I'd just have to smurf smurf these smurfs.

Smurf
Well, Smurf me in the mothersmurfing smurf.

My children are 18 months apart
When we learned that we were going to have a second child before the first one was out of diapers, I emailed this article to all my friends:

Har.
I was hoping this movie just compiled the most popular internet clips of the day and stretched them out to an 80 minute runtime. The tagline could even be "Warning: Phil".

Foofa
Bardo Pond, and all, ALL of their side projects. It's a whole shelf.
Polysics, but that's waned since buying those Japan-only singles is damned expensive.

My original post showed up twice when I first posted it, then when I posted the "ha-ha double post - fart", the second one was gone, but now there's a double post of me complaining about the double post that doesn't exist.

Kent Kent, , etc. etc.
Yay for my first double post! And it repeated a typo! I rule!

Kent, etc.
he Kent CDs actually sound pretty good, and the Cellar of Soul series is pretty consistent.

Paul Williams
Fucking ownz, or whatever equivalent expression the kids use these days. Discuss.

More like IDIOTarod
amirite? Hork!

Box Set
The three-disc box set is totally worth it (and can be found pretty cheap in some places). I love to see his albums reissued with better sound and a stray bonus track or two. While we're at it, there's some Lee Hazelwood albums that need a wider release.

Hammer No More?
Hey! I saw Hammer No More The Fingers earlier this year. They're from Durham/Chapel Hill area. They're not bad, actually.

Ah, dang it, beat me to it. Oh well, at least Stereolab rots because they have no guitars.

Low
While not told from the first person point of view, Low's "Rope" has always seemed pretty brutal to me. The entire lyric (the first line is repeated many times, until the second is delivered near the end):
