Son of a Son of an Amber-Thiessen banger!

Sunday Monkey Don't Play Piano Song, Play Piano Song…

Ummagumma may very well be my favorite of theirs. Just excise the Nick Mason part entirely, about half of the Rick Wright part, and half of "The Narrow Way." Otherwise, gold!

It is true that your average Classic Rock outlet really should have found a way to sandwich "One Of These Days" into their rotation. Every junior-high aged boy can use a moment in their day when they get to say, along with the radio…ONE OF THESE DAYS, I'M GOING TO CUT YOU INTO LITTLE PIECES!!!

Oh, but how could I have forgotten 'The Electric Kool-Aid Acid Test'? Or Harry Crews' 'All We Need of Hell'?

'The Sandman' was some of the best literature of the last thirty years, n' it's a comeek book!

Books I used to read once a year, every year, sometimes out loud:
Sometimes A Great Notion
Fear and Loathing in Las Vegas
Franny and Zooey

Good call.

I always forget about the guy, at least until the conversation turns to "movie stars of yore with badass names."

I'd like to introduce you to a little outfit called Maroon 5…

Five Year Moratorium?
That means they violated the Lollapalooza Accords! Gentlemen, this just became a shooting war!

Kate Bosworth: positively dripping with spunk!

Oh man; looks a certain talented young artist is all hopped up on goofballs!

Belle and Sebastian played Portland that evening. I'm told the whole thing had a very respectful, somber vibe.

I was waiting tables in a small neighborhood cafe. I came in early, and my cook said, "We're under attack!" We listened to Bob Edwards on NPR for a while until it was time to open, at which point I turned off the radio, put on some music and got to work on the specials board.

Glenn Miller?

Hey, is that Roy Masters in your avatar pic, Mandaliet?

I think you want "the shit" there, not "the shits."

These days, the "wall" part of the set is achieved by video effects. My friend is the lead carpenter on the current tour, and it looks awesome.

Hi. I was twelve when "Thriller" came out. His target audience, really.
I could see how the songs were good and all, I just narrow my eyes whenever I am being told over and over again that someone is a genius.
