One would likely be better off by tossing the Lunchables and eating the packaging.

There are the donuts.

Absolutely.  He crumbed on 'Blue Velvet', then years later, hailed it for what it was.  I admire that mutability of belief in a field like his where critics become personalities, and his disinclination to become hidebound was admirable.

God damn it, that's just terrific.  Well done.

Big points for both points you make.

Aw, man, what the Hell?  I visit the AV Club page and spot this….cripes, this is awful.

Yeah, like that time I saw Television-  boy, did they suck.

With special guests Caucasoid Trio!

Well, one man's hacky sack is another man's annoying dirt bag.

"White and safe and shitty"-  there's a good band name, right there.

I committed my copy of Metal Box to digital a couple weeks back.  When I bought it in '81 or thereabouts I stuck the 3 12" 45s into plastic sleeves which made the process of freeing them from the film can easy.  Without, the records get banged up something awful.  It's akin to the Durutti Column's sandpaper-sleeved…

I'm a big Greene fan and have read all I could find.  'Power' is one of his best, right up there with 'The Heart Of The Matter'.  As a lapsed Catholic, all of Greene, and 'Power' in particular, are very resonant.

I've got 'Lincoln' sitting on the coffee table waiting to be read.  I've got to get after it.

You're going to love going Underground.  I read that this winter.  There are some folks with some bad ideas in their heads.  I found it funny as Hell.

Stewart Davis: Yes yes yes.  Spent a lot of time parked in front of a few Davis canvases, which are enchanting as you know.

I was referring to As I Lay Dying.
