I miss Beauty and the Geek. The contestants were endearing and they seemed to make genuine connections. It was adorable.

Don't forget that her father is a billionaire, so she has literally never been short on money. I have no idea why she continues to make commercials.

The song that got me hooked on Smog is "Song" from Rain on Lens. Such a creepy little number.

Exactly! "It's the last game of the season/on a Friday night at home/and no one knows the reason/why the blind man didn't come!"

I'm disappointed you didn't ask about "The Righteous Apples."

I can definitely hear Al Stewart, but to me it sounds exactly like Steely Dan's "Any World That I'm Welcome To", at least until the chorus.

Catalina Breeze was a dead-on parody of Steely Dan.

Doesn't the Breather at one point say, "I didn't hang up, I just said click"?
That was funny when I was fourteen.

My parents both graduated from high school in 1961 and by 1973 had two kids and although only 30, their youth was definitely behind them. American Graffiti, both movie and soundtrack, resonated deeply with both of them. Because of this, in some ways American Graffiti defines my childhood, although I was only six…

I absolutely LOVED "Ariel' when I was in 4th grade. Didn't understand one bit of the NY/NJ subtext.

According to Liam Dunn was only 59 when he died. 59! He looked like Methuselah.

Every year about now, when football is right around the corner, I tell myself I'm going to re-read A Fan's Notes before the NFL starts. This year, I'm going to do it, dammit.

This is the exact moment I realized I never wanted to see Jack Black in anything ever again. It's also the exact moment I realized I needed to start listening to Belle & Sebastian.

I really hope she continues to make music. A Fine Frenzy is criminally under-appreciated.

Blythe Danner will always be lovelier and more talented than her daughter.

This summer, Metric is opening for Imagine Dragons, so I'm trying to decide if it's worth a ticket just to see Metric.

I fell hard for Courtney the moment I heard "Avant Gardener," so i've been looking forward to this for a long time. She's my favorite new artist of the past three or four years.

The reruns are on Logo. I saw the pilot this week and dammit if the show wasn't great from the first episode.

It was Beth Broderick from Sabrina the Teenage Witch.

Delta Burke is in my favorite TV movie ever, Maternal Instincts. She plays a woman, desperate to have a child, who undergoes an emergency hysterectomy. She then seeks revenge on the OB/GYN who performed the surgery. It ends with the two of them going mano a mano in the hospital basement.
