Corin Tucker certainly played a lot of Cub on her radio show back in the day. Babe The Blue Ox, too. Neither of those bands have what one could describe as any sort of political agenda, though. Unless being tuneful is political.

"UMMM…We're disCUSSING the DOCUMENT-ARY we're MAKING about our SISTER who is changing a LIGHT-BULLLB…"

Man, were you foolin' yourself if you thought I was gonna go watch any video of you explaining yourself further…

True. Tobi Vail played drums.

Now on to cuddlecore! Bands like Cub, and…uh…

Last week's 'Hater' was filed under "Books" for some reason.

I walked into this one thinking, "well of course he thinks that; it was also probably the year he got laid the most and did the most drugs." But a good case was made about the uniqueness of the musical landscape and the bands who lived there.

I think people -myself included- are confusing him with someone else. The Pete I was thinking of when I saw the title is indeed an acoustic/coffehouser. Can't remember dude's last name though. His was another career that never really got off the ground.

And what was Phil Collins thinking as far as "Illegal Alien" goes?

Martin Sheen staring directly at you while being briefed at the beginning of 'Apocalypse Now.' I've never timed it, but it seems like it goes on forever.

That's the one!

"So any-ho, he went to see the dentist instead. Gave him a set of teeth that weren't any good."

That song shows up on two of their albums. First on an album where it kind of doesn't work, then -post Ferris Bueller and Twix commercial- again on an album where it stands out by being so unlike the rest of the songs.

What I will be hearing in my head as I die, of course…

Though Mr. William Joel did do the title song for 'Easy Money'.

"Dewy sweet, morning fresh and overflowing with full pea flavor."

Yeah, so did that happen? Did Rodney get cuckolded by, oh say Dick Shawn or somebody?

You're twenty-two. Tomorrow you'll be sixty-five. And that's if you DON'T DIE first.

I first encountered him as Nancy Drew's father. Then later as who I thought was the voice of Smucker's, but in fact that was Mason…character actor whose last name I can't remember.

The quote at the top made me wonder if the article was going to be a meditation on how -if one only watched t.v. and never did anything else- one could safely assume that the only occupations available in the U.S. are doctor, lawyer or cop.
