Don't forget the cutaway a few years back playing off of the "Doc, I have to tell you about the future!" scene from BTTF, where Stuey tells Fox, "No, I have to tell *you* about the future."

Seconded on "Hang Time", by Soul Asylumn.

Jesus Jones was kind of a two-hit wonder. They had a late-80s hit in "Never Enough", and then they had their big hit a couple of years later from the post-Soviet ode "Right Here, Right Now".

So who's going to win all the money….all the money?

The Dead Milkmen's two-step plan for Veterans of a Fucked-Up World:

1989 grad as well. my freshman year in college that fall was a musical revelation, a transition from hair metal to alternative.

"and convert it to your computer"

I have about 400 cassettes bought and recorded between 1984 and 1995. A few years ago, I converted the cassettes to digital. It was a tedious process - I basically had to play the tape at real time and convert it to your computer, a process that took, off and on, about four months' worth of evenings - but it was…

Sex and beer, drugs are great,
We're the class of '88

This provides me an opportunity to tell you I'm old and can remember a lot of stuff, but in the last days of the first version of VH1's Behind the Music, the producers decided to focus on years instead of artists, so we got "1972", "1984", and other such entries. I only say this to bring up that this debate has been…

I can only paraphrase because I can't find it on the interweb: in the liner notes to the soundtrack to "Say Anything" contains an essay by a DJ who says that the CD destroyed the notion of "side two", which had been an LP concept where flipping over the vinyl or the cassette was part of the art for.

"Paul's Boutique" and "Three Feet High And Rising" from 1989 are sampling masterpieces that we're probably not going to see again, due to the lawyers getting into the mix. A few years later, litigation put a clamp on sampling that cut off this genre, but these two albums (along with Licensed to Ill a few years…

Speaking of classic Simpsons,
…Fox is airing "Lisa's First Word" in prime time tonight, to remember Elizabeth Taylor.

Thanks for the picture
I don't have DVR superpowers, so I didn't catch all of the tattoo on Pam's back when the episode aired.

Because everybody else is doing it, why not me?
80 POUNDS OF MAKEUP ON YOUR ART SCHOOL SKIN

My freshman year in college (1989), a few of my dormmates and I wanted to take a road trip one Saturday night from Kansas. One of us mentioned this song, and we decided Des Moines was the place to go. We had downtown all to ourselves early that Sunday morning. Then we scooped up a large cup full of dirt, and took…

Paris, Texas
When I was 18 and fresh into college, a roommate brought me to the attention of the soundtrack to the movie "Paris, Texas", which is basically a Ry Cooder instrumental album. I liked it enough to rent the movie, which is about someone who's been missing for a long time and the attempt to reunite a broken…

I'd add the Police Academy sequels, but the primary movie was probably equally unnecessary, so it probably shouldn't be counted.

Impressive, Limeade.

You're right about that. There's a plot point to develop if Liam is going to be an alternative route in the quest for Gibbons, but the writers are having a hard time separating the undercover talent from the normal talent.
