I used to think there was a cohesive, filler-free single album inside of the bloat that is Mellon Collie somewhere - I experimented with a number of different track listings, and eventually decided it would make a great single: 1979 b/w whatever.

Fun Fact: the actor who played Trevor on TPB is named Michael Jackson.

Damn, that's way better than the "rewrite" on the album. Can't believe I haven't heard this until now, thank you!

In last week's AVQ&A ("What's your personal one-hit wonder?") a few people mentioned albums - including me (Pinkerton) - but a lot went with films or full seasons of TV shows instead. As a music guy though, I also think an AVQ&A devoted solely to this topic would be awesome.

Yes, it seems you're right - thank you.

You're right - it's some kind of spyware. Thank you.

Almost as enthralling as CONTACT LENSES, GLASS or HOTEL? Holy shit, advertising in the article now. As if anyone is going to be in the middle of reading something, see a word highlighted in capital letters and then decide to click on it because they'd much rather see an advertisement, buy new contact lenses or book a…

Surprised the writer didn't mention the source of the "single vocal hook" in We Are The Music Makers:

Song: "Fuckin' in the Bushes" is the only Oasis song I like. I heard plenty of songs from Definitely Maybe and Morning Glory back in the day and some of them are catchy as hell, but overall I find Oasis derivative and boring. I can understand why they're popular, but the critical acclaim for those albums still baffles…

Been quite a while since I listened to any Cat Stevens, and way too long since I last watched Harold and Maude. That movie works on so many levels - a dark comedy and great love story which deals with existential themes (in a fun way), along with understated anti-prejudice and anti-war messages - there really is no…

Appropriately over-the-top guitar by Brian May , then:

Regarding the song choices in the article, I have to say that "Middle" by RFTC is a damn good one - so many of their songs have the call-and-response thing going on that would work in that context, but I can't think of a better choice. And "Fuckin' In The Bushes" is the only Oasis song I actually like enough to own…

At the age of 14, I convinced my grandfather to rent Silence Of The Lambs for me, my younger sister and cousin - my parents wouldn't rent it for me for what I soon found out were obvious reasons, but I really wanted to see it so I told him it was a "scary" movie and he got it for us.

I'm a winner, yay!!!! But if the prize is a Porno For Pyros CD….uh, you can just go ahead and keep that…sold mine back in the days when a used Porno For Pyros CD could get you five bucks (in Nova Scotia anyway).

I totally agree, but a minor nitpick: MTV tried to get them to play "Smells Like…." but they outright refused. Nirvana played the first few seconds of the then-unreleased Rape Me (the song they facetiously told MTV they wanted to play) to freak out the network, and then played the most gloriously ramshackle version…

Porno For Pyros?

(rapped following the chorus)

First tape ever bought for me: Bad by Michael Jackson
First tape ever bought myself: Even Worse by Weird Al Yankovic

I absolutely love the "head" lyric from Walk On The Wild Side, as until Alanis made that fateful trip to the theatre with Dave Coulier, it was the only song regularly played on the radio with a blowjob reference that somehow went over the heads of both the censors and most of the people who heard the song.

You hit me with a flower?
