I cannot recommend Mr. Vampire highly enough. The DVD version I have has atrocious dubbing as well as more straightforward subtitles. Watching both in unison makes for an incredibly trippy experience (but I recommend watching it with just subtitles first, as my guess is those are closer to the actual script—the…

I’m about 2 seasons behind, with no plans of ever catching up, but I remain somewhat curious about the show. When you boil the season down to under 3 minutes, it becomes quite hysterical. Do these people know they’re actually starring in a comedy?

I was using hyperbole to mask a weak point. But to keep the ball rolling, yes, there are drums and guitars on all the records, but they’ve become increasingly buried among all the bleep bloops. Basically, I’m getting older and crankier, and they steadfastly refuse to continually remake the album I really liked when I…

I never quite got the love slathered on In Rainbows. I guess compared to King of Limbs, sure, it’s a better record, but I’ve listened to it probably a dozen times over the past 10 years, and couldn’t hum you a single song if you asked me to. Perhaps that’s the point of Radiohead these days. And perhaps that’s why I…

So that thing isn’t a Hoojib? Never mind, then. Call me when they put some damn Hoojibs in the movies.

I was hoping Powerless would make the list. I, too, really wanted to like the show because I liked the stars and the premise, but in the end, it just wasn’t clicking. But the theme song gave me goosebumps every time.

“You Got Lucky” was the song/video that made me go “hey, I think I really like this Tom Petty fellow” (I was a bit too young to be into his late 70s output, and I certainly remember “Refugee”, but nothing grabbed my attention back then like a good post-apocalyptic video). Nowadays, I’d have to say “The Wild One,…

Yes, without an editor, it’s a bit like listening to your favorite band’s demos: rough around the edges, but the ideas are still there. And sometimes, it’s like Prince’s “Kiss”, where the demo is so perfect it becomes the single without any alterations.

Just spent the better part of 30 minutes trying to convince Kinja to let me log in so I could comment. Still so, so super neat.

Test. I think I messed something up. Or not.

OK, that was pretty good. Pretty Good Job, Internet.

Our entire department has gotten virtually nothing done. And now our bosses will be happy to know that it'll be around even after today!

I don't care about the rankings (why?), I just wanted to read what they said about each song, which in some cases I can find interesting. I wish this particular article had been written by someone who, you know, actually liked Pink Floyd.

Sorry; I should really cite my sources: https://youtu.be/QnkrL42R7gk

My best meal ever was many years ago at the Salt and Pepper Diner in Chicago. That is, until a couple of punk kids came in and played "What's New, Pussycat?" 21 times, with one "It's Not Unusual" sandwiched in after the 7th "Pussycat" on the jukebox.

Quest of the Delta Knights! Waxwork! I know I'm picking out two of the, let's say, lesser-respected films out of his incredible long and diverse career, but when I saw the headline, I immediately thought "there'd better be some damn QotDK and Waxwork in there". Woooooo!

Grimes?

Well, as an avowed Genesis fan, I'd have to go with the extended keyboard section in "Firth of Fifth", or maybe "Cinema Show". Or…actually, that's too hard, so I'll just say the bagpipe solo in AC/DC's "It's a Long Way to the Top (If You Wanna Rock 'n' Roll)"

According to my setlist.fm stats, it's a tie between Irata and Bardo Pond, at 4 each. That sounds about right. In 2nd place is Low and Superdrag. Of course, I got a late start going to shows, growing up miles and miles away from *any* venue, and not having parents willing to drive me all over creation to allow me to…

King Gizzard & the Lizard Wizard's new one, mainly because I liked them before I read the bad review here, which may have influenced my "hey, I really like this" reaction.
