Good looking trailer, terrible name. Were I emperor-king of Hollywood, one of my first acts would be an immediate moratorium on the use of generic fictional character names as movie titles.

The first time I realized that not only had Wilco surprise-released an album called Star Wars, but that it also had THAT cover, I laughed hysterically for like 10 minutes straight. And continued to laugh every time I looked at it again or even thought about it for about a week. Tweedy knows what he's doing.

You are unforgiven for that pun.

Yes this. I say this all the time.

But again, no costumes.

I never made it past the commercials.

"Pop" is unparalleled. There really is nothing like it. Interested to dig in to the earlier Gas albums.

Well, ok. But it's terrible.

If you trim all the snippets from More and Obscured, you'll have a tight nasty little garage rock album. From Pink Floyd!!

Except Nirvana's big rivalry was with GnR, not Pearl Jam. They were just dismissive of PJ, but GnR they stuck it to every chance they got.

About half of Binaural hangs with the greatness of the previous 5 albums and the other half points to the mediocrity of the rest of their recorded career (the nadir of which, Riot Act, was just around the corner).

Because they were not "faux-able".

He handled the D on camera when Robbie's character was introduced.

Did he? Did he really?

Reznor's post PHM band and their aggressive playing style was key to the shift away from industrial-tinged techno pop to a more thrash-leaning strain of industrial for Broken and beyond. So pretty influential, I would say.

Some twenty years ago, I was having a discussion with a pop-culture-challenged friend about Nirvana. He said "Nirvana… is that the band with the drummer with one arm?"
I answered "No, you're thinking of Def Leppard. Nirvana is the band with the singer with no head."

I like Toad the Wet Sprocket. I'm suddenly feeling very lonely.

Have you met us?

Hey kid… eat the fuckin' corn.
