This is playing up to my nostalgia quite a lot; I was 20 in '95, and it was the time I was taking advantage of being free to do what I wanted, and living in a big city. I saw a lot of matinee movies in the four hour break in classes I had, and saw Usual Suspects twice in two weeks, I liked it so much. I got to catch…

20 years back, if you asked me if Huey Lewis's rep would ever be repaired, I'd have said you were mad. But he's endured the worst, and come out as someone who made 'music'. His WTF interview is where the pendulum started to shift the other way for me. If I looked like him, I probably would have made music like he…

I for one hope they lean into the curve, and give it a clever name like, "21 Jump Street For Girls."

Yes, it's Jilted Generation! I'm not a fan of Experience. I had the 12 inch of Voodoo People too, back when the Chemical Brothers were working as the Dust Brothers.

Orbital were so boss at the Are We Here? phase of their career.

Fat of the Land was terrible, and got me to swear off Prodigy, but I still love the Prodigy Experience, their second one. I kept on with electronic music until fairly recently. I'm from Toronto, and nearby Montreal has an amazing 'IDM' festival called Mutek every year, which I went to a few times, and they had…

I loved that people called all of humanity dying off a happy ending. It was a good film, I last watched it about five years back, but it'll be a regular watch until I die. The scene of the nanny-bot smiling as she melts pulls a lot of heart-strings for me.

I loved this album and its sequel. For me though, the massive expanding of my understanding of electronic music came from the Trance Europe Express series. It's a pinch more conventional, but some of the same names appeared there (Speedy J, Alex Patterson, Richie Hawtin). But the book that came with it seriously…

First CD, The Cure, Standing on the Beach, 1988, age 13.

My six-year old daughter is crazy for this stuff. For at least six months, she talks about, draws, and asks for Tsuchinoko, this dopey looking, fat yellow snake. It doesn't take long to get sick of, but I can't complain: I liked Ewoks.

Hot Chip.

The point about throwing little things to punctuate an argument… Is that a theme of Six Feet Under, or is it something Alan Ball has done that he took note of and has to use? Just from the point of view of some approaching this as writing, you take from what you know. Is it an experience repeated or a deliberate…

I love noisy weird guitar, I hate their silly bass. I can hear them making goofy faces as they play.

I wasn't into them, so I just saw a bit. I missed a lot of good second stage shows too, Flaming Lips, Verve… Some regrets…

I just can't handle that sort of funk. My Mothers Milk cd never got much play. The crowd dug them though.

Went to Lollapalooza 2, saw Lush, Jesus & Mary Chain, Ice Cube and Ministry. Left for Red Hot Chili Peppers, and skipped Pearl Jam in the afternoon.

No spoiler on that final episode thing? I suppose it's my fault for opening an article not about the show directly.

Age 8: the 45 of the Ghostbusters theme by Ray Parker JR, with an instrumental on the B-side. I didn't buy another until age 13: The Cure: Staring at the Sea. A great jump in coolness, but the intervening years were largely listening and relistening to radio dubs of Dr. Demento.

That Where's Waldo line made me laugh out loud. Looks like Sean O'Neal isn't the only comedy-weapon the AV Club has left.

I love the story, Will. 20 years on, I still try to figure out what about the Smiths tapped into me so much, and I was never genuinely suicidal either, but there was something romance of it that appealed to the primitive me. Glad my mother never took the time to properly listen to the Smiths.
