"Take a memo, cut everything that will create an environment where people might become independent thinkers and shout to the heavens that the emperor is not wearing any clothes"

This ends a really crappy day for me. I always like Miguel Ferrer's performances. Fuck. :(

Fatherly love or not, Trans is the album that made me despise the Vocoder once and for all.

I've followed Eno since Roxy Music, and so much of his catalog is very emotional and beautiful. I may have to forgot a few weeks of beer or coffee and fork over the 40 USD for this one.

I concur with Precious_Hamburgers on Evil Twins "Christmas Eve in a New York City Hotel Room". Lovely beer. My husband is a big fan of darker beers and he introduced me to Imperial Stouts through Old Rasputin (Actually I've yet to have a North Coast beer I didn't like). It is the gateway stout to Imperials and a…

Even without that individual, you'd be vindicated. I never understood the hype about that band. Its not the weirdness factor (I like Captain Beefheart and the Residents), its the HEY LOOK HOW AMAZINGLY WEIRD WE ARE factor.

Don't feel bad. Obviously I should be pushing a zimmer, because I was pregnant with my daughter when it came out. And no, I wasn't a teenage mom by any account

My better half and I grew up with the original albums and in the early 70s as kids, we both used to slow down the recordings to 16 RPM to hear the actual "voice" of Bagdasarian. Neither of my offspring got into the Chipmunk franchise—my daughter actually despises the "Christmas Song" with a passion.

I need to play and listen to more jazz in 2017. I went through a period a few years back when I was playing upright quite a bit and listening to jazz and attending jazz shows. Last year, a cover band gig pretty much put the upright in mothballs.

I look at that twitter conversation and its apparent why Trump is taking the Presidential Oath this month.

My daughter moved to the East Coast and the first stop after deplanes in San Jose is "In and Out Burger". Its like a religion to native Californians.

It was the same with my mom. To this day, I can sing every lyric to every early Johnny Cash song by heart along with a ton of Hank Williams Sr. I only appreciated it when I was older, but I did appreciate she exposed me to such a legacy early on, even though my tastes ran to 1970s pop charts at the time.

It rarely happens. I'd like to believe otherwise but I'm sticking by my guns on this one.

#13. I still maintain that every time someone repackages a Beatles album or song collection, that's one more up and coming band that we've lost the opportunity to hear. Let's start putting our butts to the past and look to the future.

My husband and I came to the marriage vows with a large collection of vinyl and a mutual encyclopedic knowledge of music that our friends found quirky at best. But we followed my mom's best advice in having music and musical instruments about the house and let the kids follow their own course in what THEY want to…

I feel the same way. Its the same sadness I feel when people try to push the original "Charlie's Angel's" as a proto-feminist series.

My sister was a rather ardent fan of the show. I just never enjoyed it, even as a "guilty pleasure". The characters annoyed me to the point I wanted to bitch slap them 10 minutes into every episode I watched. To each his own.

As I get older I tend to enjoy the more bitter drinks, with Fernet or Campari. I haven't had a neat Fernet in a while; maybe I should get a bottle to start off the new year.

We were supposed to go to a NYE concert, but plans went sideways. Instead we had amazing Chinese food at a new place, participated in a DIY parade and watched films at home. It was a fun time despite the best plan of mice and men going oft astray

If Iggy Pops dies I don't know what I'll do, but I'll find that Mr. Death and give him a piece of mind.
