Yeah, but I guess if you're trying to dismiss a band's entire output outside of one record, you wouldn't mention that… instead you'd bring up "Silver Jews & Nico" which isn't even a release, but the way they were cheekily credited on their side of a mostly forgotten split single.

As a fan of the band, I find the article's discussion of them disconcerting to say the least… It's hard for me to imagine people really digging American Water and then disliking the rest of their catalog - 'Early Times' releases excepted. I mean, I guess it's conceivable you could like BTC-era Pavement without really…

It's been a while, but doesn't he explain how to make quinoa, but in a way that is almost specific to being in his personal kitchen? I love David Lynch.

The Minders have always been on the list of bands to check out that ebbs and flows somewhere in the back of my mind. It's one of the very few bands with a Malkmus/Jicks connection I've never heard, though I knew & enjoyed Elliott's cover… and always assumed it happened cause of the Joanna connection.

He didn't knowingly rip off He's So Fine, but did concede that he knew the song. The compositions are so similar that they ruled against Harrison while acknowledging that he didn't purposely appropriate the melody… Basically, the case established that intent is irrelevant to copyright infringement in music.

It is my understanding that it has never been confirmed by 'credible sources', but the people who might be able to confirm such whispers probably wouldn't be considered credible, so…

I hope I can make it across the border. I hope to see my friend and shake his hand. I hope the pacific is as blue as it has been in my dreams. I hope.

I hope it's like Ground Floor.

There are plenty more videos to be found with a little searching, including Happy Birthday Lisa sung by Kipp Lennon, who sang it in the original episode… and that isn't Weird Al goofing off before his parody, it's actually the end of the song, right before he launches into the Simpsons theme on his accordion.

Wouldn't the huge screens broadcasting the action indicate that some professional recording took place that could be released in some form? I'm not being sarcastic, I genuinely don't know if that's just an in-house set-up for the audience or what…

ALSO: I urge anyone who hasn't viewed the Serious Jibber Jabber episode where Conan reunites Simpsons writers to do so now. It was one of featured videos after the clip & it's delightful.

It was a stroke of genius getting Conan to sing, I think it's the only legit way they could do that song without Hartman.

I'd say the other two albums released earlier that year - but recorded afterword - the cry-in-your-beer pedal-steel tinged Jacksonville City Nights, & his first album with the superior Mach 1 Cardinals - a double! - Cold Roses. Both arguably have a bit of filler, but grow on you the same way 29 did, for me anyway. I…

Untrue. Other replies to the same initial, since-deleted shit-stirring comment are still there for all to see… And for the record, the deleted reply was my initial reaction to said comment & it's silly cut & paste tweets, all of one word, (read it here quickly before they remove it again):

You think the third suffered from studio meddling? I thought the common interpretation was that it was the second that suffered from studio interference - in terms of crammed-in franchise-building elements, whilst, dig it or not, the third adheres pretty closely to the Shane Black playbook. I happen to enjoy them all…

Not if it only works on Asian teenagers…

Jacques Brel is Alive and Well and Living in Paris.

Mad Men just had a killer dream sequence at the end of their 1/2 season…

I don't imagine people who tweet remember everything they've ever tweeted & they were all crudely pasted out of context…

Hey, 2 weeks ago they deleted my initial reply to the guy who posted all that junk that clogged the thread up, which was literally one word. So who knows anymore. The only thing I could figure is if you get a certain number of down votes they delete it?
