I saw him live on this tour and actually got right up to the front of the stage; I was about ten feet away from him.

"Not When I Need It" is gorgeous. Really underrated track.

"Free As A Bird" was obviously stitched together Frankenstein-style (Cool guitar by George, though.) "Real Love" feels more like an actual song.

Jesus, Steve Albini needs to be forced to work at a Walmart alongside people who think that Shania Twain is country music. It'd do him a world of good.

I remember going to see Se7en with a friend and buying a large tub of popcorn just before we went in.

Yeah, Brosnan is far more in his element in TND. Goldeneye seems like a warm-up lap to me now.

1995. I had some friends in college who drove down to San Francisco to see them live right after the album came out. The show wound up being canceled (I think that was when John Squire broke his arm), but they still managed to snag me a t-shirt (THE STONE ROSES with the lemon slice.) I wore that damn thing forever.

I bought K on cassette. It collected dust for a good, long while.

I know everybody loves Goldeneye, but it's just so damned bland to me. They clearly hadn't made a movie in a while and it showed, plus Brosnan seems kind of awkward in it. TND has some great stunts, an interesting villain, and Michelle Yeoh is probably the most underrated Bond girl ever. I still give it the…

Ah, Britpop. Tracking down Oasis b-sides. Cute girls with sexy accents. Going to up to Portland to see both Oasis and Blur. Being able to buy Pulp's Different Class at Walmart. Jumping ahead twenty years and realizing that Oasis hasn't aged worth a damn.

I concur. I said "good", not "great."

The Anthology take of "Ob-La-Di, Ob-La-Da" crushes the White Album version like a grape.

Brosnan had the ingredients of a good Bond, but he really wasn't well-served by the material at all. IMO, Tomorrow Never Dies is the only one that still holds up. He probably would have done better if they had been willing to commit to a Casino Royale-style reboot…

50 free hours starting…now!

I turned 21 in 1995. Me and my friends celebrated by going to see Batman Forever on opening night.

I still love how the characters in that movie rant about people who are corporate sell-outs. It's like having Walmart call you a materialistic pig.

There's a pretty good regular-length album buried in that mess. "1979" is probably my second-favorite SP song (First is "Mayonnaise.")

I still like The Wedding Singer and Punch-Drunk Love, of course (even though that's one of PTA's lesser films) He was good in Funny People.

Same here. I ran out of money after spring term of '95, which meant I had to move back home for a year with my (very Mormon) family. I was separated from my girlfriend, stuck in my old town that most of my friends had already left, and doing shit work (mowing lawns, flipping burgers.) The latter half of '95 was…

I know it's not a hip film to namedrop, but I still love it without hesitation. That two-minutes-of-radio-silence bit at the end gets me every time.
