Wasn’t LTMDTT on a Joe Perry Project album?

The Wild, the Innocent and the E Street Shuffle was released in November 1973, otherwise it would be the quintessential example of that. And, you know, it still is.
I have to admit I’m turned on by Vergara here, her look and manner (not the whole drug lord thing.) I wonder if breaking out to audiences as Gloria and playing her for so many seasons made her feel the same way as Bronson Pinchot did playing Balki on Perfect Strangers: tired of such a broad comic character and eager…
misogyny thrives everywhere, even in the notorious cocaine industry
Ironic you would pick that year: that’s the release year of the sequel to 2001: A Space Odyssey, 2010. In it, a worsening Cold War on Earth results in orders from the films’ US and Soviet governments to the astronauts and cosmonauts flying near Jupiter to stop working together... which they follow for like a day…
It’s not just confusing, I find it contemptuous, both in its respect for the ISS’ mission and the people who work on it, and in that I have contempt for it. Heck, back in the ACTUAL Cold War, the film of Arthur C. Clarke’s 2010 showed basically what would really happen: the American and Russian scientists AND officers…
“That 90s Show” (Season 19, Episode 11). This provides a new backstory for Homer & Marge’s early years. Homer is a twenty-something singer in a grunge band “Sadgasm” in the 1990s when Bart is conceived, so definitely GenX. This obviously conflicts with “The Way We Was” (Season 2, Episode 12) which was set in 1974.
No offence is intended to the writer of this review, but reading this ridiculous synopsis and seeing the letter grade makes me wish this was the old AV Club and Ignatiy Vishnevetsky had reviewed this thing. He’d have torn it several new orifices.
“You must secure the ISS. Not for any strategic reason, we just want to get in one last act of pettiness.”
Well, it's a show where no one ages but the times change.
The ISS loses about 100m/day in altitude and requires monthly reboosts. That’s why most of the weight of the quarterly resupply missions are fuel. These boosts are also controlled from the ground, not on the station. Without resupply the ISS would maybe last 6 months before descending into the atmosphere and burning…
The ISS, and the US in turn, has been dependent on Russian launches to get to the ISS and resupply it from the start. There’s more options now but most resupply missions are still Russian, even with everything going on. The ISS has been free from nationalism no matter how bad it’s gotten on the ground. It would also…
The ISS relies on the TDRS geosynchronous satellite network for communication. If those were somehow taken out it has high gain VHF antennas that allow voice communication, but only to someone listening on a radio in an area below it. It’s in a fast circular orbit, 93 minutes per orbit, and for much of the year it’s…
Ms. Moore. This woman is impossibly gorgeous.
Rush is my favorite band and their debut has some underrated bangers...but woof is “In The Mood” one of their worst songs. I have no idea how that track lasted so long in their setlists.
Agree with most of your comment, but Roger Waters never gave a “great,” or “non-painful,” vocal performance in his life, including on the Wall. One of the reasons that the chorus to Comfortably Numb sounds so great is that it is such a relief to switch from hearing Waters’ froggy vocal to Gilmour’s soaring one.
Some great stuff here to be sure, but this list does reinforce my impression that 1974 was not a peak year for classic rock but one step down from the peak. It’s the moment the royalty from the 60s had started their decline and just before the genre redefined itself with punk. I would basically see 1974 rock as…
Todd Rundgren looked 75 when he was 26.
