Certain parts of this movie - Scrooge door knocker, the calligraphy used at the end and (of course) the whole "Tiny Tim musical reprise over shots of the graveyard" thing - scared me shitless when I was younger. I got over the first two. Still can't watch the third.

70s UK /Norwegian glam(?) group Sailor. My wife and I discovered them while listening to an all 70s weekend online. Their second album, "Trouble," is a weird amalgamation of glam, old timey sing alongs and throwback British stage musicals with proto EDM flourishes. (They LOVE them some synthesized bass lines.) It's a…

My mom is a big fan of theirs. The only thing is she doesn't call them "Sigur Ros." For some weird, unknown reason, she only knows them as "Icelandic Sam." She has every one of their albums on her MP3 player - all labeled as Icelandic Sam.

"…So her book is like 'Yes Man,' only with her instead of a weird British man? That's stupid." - My wife, on the book in question.

Please don't start this right now. It's not the time nor the place.

The Neutral Planet in Futurama.

My now-wife got me into Harvey Danger in high school. She wanted someone to like them as much as she did - Seattle post-grunge wasn't a big thing in Pittsburgh in 1999. They are still one of our absolute favorites. We still have the signed Christmas/thank you card that came with the "Sometimes You Have to Work on…

Pretty everything you said. Many social conservatives - my father, for example - have this idea that a candidate running on a purely conservative platform would win in a Reagan '84 landslide. Alan Keyes, Ted Cruz… That's the kind of people they cling to. Anyone who attempts to be more centrist, like Huntsman, is…

I didn't read through all 900+ comments, so apologies in advance if I'm stealing someone's thunder. That said, there are a few things you guys need to realize about Trump, conservatives and the Republican party:

I've always been a fan of "sneak preview" songs - tracks that seem to foreshadow a later artist's sound or style. "Dress Me Up as a Robber" is a perfect example of that. It's an Of Montreal song that predates the band by fifteen years.

Friday night: ROH Death Before Dishonor. Screw the haters. I thought the main event was great - Joe vs. Punk II great.

The wife and I got the ROH pay-per-view, Best in the World, on Friday. Great show with an amazing main event. Jay Lethal deserves it. We've also been watching TNA Impact from episode one. It's not the two hour joke it is now. It's like watching NXT, only at double speed and with 100% more Jeff Jarrett. Favorite moment…

The Trickster episode from the new series had a few (okay… more than a few) references to the original. From the top:

My first CD in general was the London Symphony Orchestra Plays the Greatest Hits of Queen. I found it in the bargain rack at the Kmart in Swissvale, Pennsylvania. My first CD by a "name" artist was Done With Mirrors by Aerosmith, purchased at the Wall to Wall Music in Center Twp., Pennsylvania. Swing and a miss, twice…

I saw OK Go open for They Might Be Giants in October 2001. About halfway through, they did a song called "The Unrequited Orchestra of Locomotion." It's never seen a proper release, which really pisses me off. It's an awesome track, albeit a hell of a lot darker than the rest of their material. Come on guys… That…

My fiction is fueled by music. Each chapter/story/whatever has to have an accompanying song, mainly to keep me from rambling. My most recent "thing" has 51 tracks attached, ranging from Queen to Allan Sherman. My current chapter theme has been "Get Out of Bed" by Livingston Taylor (James' brother). I've also been…

Upop, an XM satellite radio station from the pre-merger days (It's long gone, sadly), played The Streets A LOT. I always considered him to be more modern beat poetry than hip hop. "Fit But You Know It" still pops into my head from time to time.

The hook in the chorus of "Blurred Lines" is identical to the hook used in "What a Way to Go" by Dr. Hook.

Solaris for the 2600 was a favorite of my family. It had good graphics, decent sound, great level design and an actual ending - basically everything missing from most mainstream Atari games. It still holds up.
