Everyone’d written off shoegaze in favor of Britpop by 1995, which is not only wrong because Britpop is for the most part terrible, but because there were some excellent shoegaze albums in 1995. Bowery Electric’s self-titled, Slowdive’s Pygmalion, and Flying Saucer Attack’s Further are all stone-cold classics. At…

It’s also my birthday. Where’s my write up?

Speaking as someone with mental illnesses who has mostly chosen to be single partly as a consequence of those illnesses, I have the upmost respect for Davidson.

Ahh... the gentlemen’s F... D+.

Fair enough. Check in on Friday though, because I talk to Cross about that at length.

Solid list, but gotta disagree on Pan’s Labyrinth, and I think Wilco’s Being There is out-and-out great, A + material.

Another week where there’s at least 2 albums that are worthy of purchase.

I would assume they get ‘payed’ to shill for Disney about as much as you get ‘payed’ to whine about it. 

Boba Fett had always bounty hunted to support his first love: party planning. And Leia was still hoping to score a date with him.

Yeah, it was originally offered by Mort Shuman to “The Themesman”, but David St. Hubbins hated it so much he refused to sing it and it ultimately ended up with Small Faces producer Don Arden.

Hmm. Well, I loved this, but if he really did kill Janice, that ending is so depressing that Barry is basically irredeemable to me now. Killing Chris definitely crossed a line, but in some twisted way you could justify it and say that Chris going to the police would get more people killed in the end. This, though, is…

To be fair thats 2 UK sitcom seasons and a christmas special...

Honk If You’re Horny!

Yes. You are alone.

The Hitchhikers Guide the Galaxy is a real book, and it’s called the phone in your pocket right now.
