I May Have To Go Back and Watch…
…but I'm kind of surprised to see this spoken of so glowingly here. My recollection of this film when it first came out was that it had a lot of funny bits, but that the attempt to wed what are best used as a series of sketches to a common plot didn't come out so well. I recall that it…

Why?
I am not sure why y'all are excited about the story being transformed into the typical Hollywood template of "the hope of a boy," but you're welcome to it. I'll just be pretending it doesn't exist, thanks.

Wow, I was just confused. I never would have thought of THAT answer.

Quadrophenia
…was the first Who album I ever bought, and to this day I still can't find another as good. I've always been surprised that TOMMY(which is pretty, but ultimately silly—the Ken Russell film is in fact a fair representation of it) gets more props than this, but then I've also always thought PEPPER overrated…

And yet they're David Lynch's favoritest band in the world.

I'm Surprised No One Has Mentioned This
…as it gives further clue as to how much of an evil fuck Griffin is:

Mm well. I like it, is all I can say.

Vs. is musically better and more adventurous(I repeat: "Go" and "WMA" are fucking excellent), but Ten gets more respect because it's one of those albums full of solid songs that never gets old, like Who's Next or something, whereas Vs. is a matter of taste. It's kind of like the difference in appeal of "the White…

Corgan is unaware that his moment has passed, and has become more of a whore than he ever was. Vedder never fired his whole band, nor sold Pearl Jam songs to a fucking commercial.

And have Connery's wife staring at Anderson's own bum.

This is
The most horrible thing ever conceived this week.

There is nothing like that. They're a delicious, crunchy surprise.

Richard Hell invented that particular crap, but Television as we know them dressed more like any number of Pavement-like bands of later times. Which is to say, whatever was clean that day and nothing striking or flashy. Same with Talking Heads. Same with Patti Smith. Only the Dolls or the Ramones in NY at that phase…

I was looking at that for a bit and wondered if it was just me thinking, how'd he get up there, but better, how'd he get down without some serious injury?

Kurt Cobain himself didn't think his band should have been the most prominent, if you recall, to his credit. He spent a lot of time using his fame to try to turn people on to bands he felt more deserving, like Mudhoney(who apparently nothing can kill), the Melvins, or earlier bands like the Meat Puppets. Or even…
