In a weird nostalgic kind of way yes, along with the Crazy Eddie spots

I miss the old school broadcasters. I grew up hearing Lindsey Nelson, Bob Murphy and Ralph Kiner for the Mets, and yes my teenage years hearing good ol' Phil Rizzuto for the Yankees. Honestly, I prefer broadcasters with at least a semblance of personality and decent knowledge of the game. Rizzuto could ramble on…

Am I the only one who immediately thought of the Wild Thornberries?

I saw the Knitters a few years back. She sang rings around John. I think this is a case of personal taste..

Poly Styrene like Viv Albertine were huge deals for us early punk women. Footnote? Only by the rock journalists who thought punk lived and died with the Sex Pistols, Ramones, and the Damned etc. In an age which glorified Stevie Nicks and Pat Benatar , Poly Styrene, Viv and Patti Smith made me realize one did not…

I heartily salute anyone who listens to Wire on a consistent basis.

I was home sick this weekend, so I caught American Super/Natural on the Weather Channel. It was light fun on how they could take a local legend and tie in weather stories. I also learned one does not piss off local voodoo queens in Louisiana.

I was married in '90—we had a three tiered chocolate cake. My MIL was appalled until she had a slice (she was a traditional gal), then she declared it was delicious. That last cake looks like it took a design element from artwork on the Berlin Wall. To each his own, I guess!

As far as movies go, the original Japanese version of Godzilla. As a kid, it was more movie monster fun, but as an adult, its a visual statement into the horrors of nuclear war, man separating himself from nature and the moral ambiguities that arise in science. And for its time, its use of light and shadow in black…

Oh Johnny Cash. My mom was a huge fan of his music and I have every lyric burned into my musical brain, because this albums were on constant rotation during my childhood. She passed over 10 years ago. I recently was in a record store and they were playing "The ballad of Ira Hayes". I finally really listened to those…

Visually, it's great, but as a retelling of the book, it falls short as a movie. Part of this issue, as someone once pointed out, is that the book, like many King books, is quite cerebral. So much of the action takes place in people's heads, which is impossible to convey well on screen.

I have this obsessive love for Gojira, and cannot wait to see this. Yes, I'm a gen-x woman with a 7 year old geek trapped inside her soul

Odelay by Beck. I listened to it a lot that summer I was pregnant with my son. I think its why he's a huge Beck fan to this day; he heard this on repeat in utero

Thank you. First think I said when I read that first paragraph.

Let's be direct here. The FCC and in California, the CPUC, are staffed and run by ex-employees of the corporations they are overseeing. Why anyone is surprised at what happened after 1996 is beyond me. The consumer's rights and the ability of media to be a creative and viable voice in the post 1996 era is the last…

I, for one, welcome our robot overlords, and hope that they dance better than the white boys that haunted my younger days in the dance clubs of NYC.

Growing up in NJ and having driven Rte 72 through the Pine Barrens at 1:00 am, I can fully understand why that area gave birth to the NJ Devil. And being NJ, we celebrate our odd shit and named a hockey team after our cryptid.

Went out and had a Sunday afternoon beer at a brewery where the bartender saw us come in and put Tom Robinson and Patti Smith on the turntable just for us. I felt special and it was like going back to my favorite record store, but you know, with beer.

yes, but if its so empowering and she continues to take these roles, time and time again, why is she complaining so? She seems uncomfortable with her choices, and yet continues to make them, as though the next film will be the one that will be it all seem perfect sense for her.
