1989 for myself. Not only as old as the Berlin falling down, but also as old The Simpsons, exluding the apperances on The Tracey Ullman.

Also, two more Zevon songs I forgot which are great: Frank And Jessie James and Searching For A Heart.

On the Springsteen side of things, I'd have to say just about all of The Wild, The Innoncent, And The E Street Shuffle, aside from Rosalita and maybe 4th Of July, would qualify. I espescially love Kitty's Back, which just has an amazing jazz esque feel. It evokes a really strong feeling of taking a romp in the city.

I definitely agree with Station To Station being an excellent, excellent song. The buildup, "The return of the thin white duke," the funkiness, it's all just so amazing.

Good Interview, Great Guy
Donald Glover is definitely one of the best parts of Community and it's nice to see that he seems like a very good guy in real life. Plus, I can't help be proud of the fact that he's an alum of the school I go to. Now, we just need a few more graduates like him to off set the Lady Gaga's and…

A Roundup From Some Of My Favorites
Yeah, this a nearly limitless topic for me, since so many of the songs I gravitate towards are more of the album tracks than the popular singles. But I'll try and list a hodge podge of some particularly strong album cuts from some of my favorite artists.

Another Missing One: Elvis Costello's Taking Liberties
Maybe not exactly on par with the first three Costello albums, and maybe redundant since just about all of the tracks on it have now been added to the regular albums as bonus tracks, but this still provides a good distillation of the various sounds that Elvis…

Agreed with Push Barman To Old Wounds. I was actually surprised to not see that one, considering the adoration for Belle & Sebastian previously seen. But it is very good at showing the evolution of their sound and having some truly gorgous songs. "Lazy Line Painter Jane" in particular is a gem. Then there's "Slow…

Question About Age
Hey. I'd really love to go and see you guys. It's a dream come true. However, is this only going to be open to 21 and over? Because I'm just a year below that and I don't have a fake ID, nor do I really want to get one because of that. It'd really suck to miss out on seeing the greatest pop culture…

The ONN Speaks The Truth
Not too long ago, the Onion News Network featured a story that showed just how pervasive this type of situation is among ordinary citizens:

Well, in all seriousness, I thought Kevin did a pretty good job on the episode of Curb Your Enthusiasm he was in last season. Stomping a really ugly cat to death; always comedy gold to me.

Magic Bus-The Who
It may not have been every summer, but growing up, I definitely remember some really lengthy car rides where the CD being played was The Who's greatest hits. And while all of them could be seen as summer songs because of it, I'd say only Magic Bus really conveys the kind of care free joy and warmth…

Finally Finding My Place To Jump In
I first (not meant to be a firstie, don't canceraids me, or at the very least chop off my legs and arms to make things more appropriate) have to say that I really love this feature and say that I really like the individual commentaries, especially since it does allow for more people…

Ah, yeah, I think maybe the only reason I didn't mention Simon Pegg was just because of how he got comparitively the short shift in terms of screen time. But what use of it! Great stuff.

I Just Saw It
And I loved it. Maybe it comes from the atmosphere of being in a theater full of enthusiastic moviegoers who cheered whenever there was a TV series reference. But it just filled me with this giddy sense of joy at the whole venture. I thought all the actors did incredible jobs of capturing the essences of…

What's hilarious, to me anyway, is that in the actual film, the sequence that introduces us to young James T. Kirk is in fact set to none other than the Beastie Boys, in the form of Sabotage. Not quite as good as the music video, but still effective nevertheless. So, this thread actually, to some degree, is in fact on…

And now I see Nick Nonchalant made this exact same point about Rugrats down below. Sorry about that, Nick. What can I say? Nicktoons were a big part of my pop culture experience growing up.

That's a good point. I mean, pretty much every old school episode of Rugrats was based off of the premise that Grandpa, or whoever was tending to the kids, would inevitably nod off so that the babies could get into some kooky adventure. Without that happening, there is no show. Until you get something like Rugrats:…

Well, I'm still very much into the New York Times. They've done a very good job of adapting to the web and they do a very good job of keeping their website current and updated. If more mainstream newspapers were to rip off what the Times is doing online and make their websites as well looking and up to date, then I'd…
