I owned the cassette before getting a used copy on cd, and it had a completely different tracklisting. "I Love You Mary Jane" was the opening track and it blew my mind. "Fallin'" opened side two. The cassette order is still the way I prefer to listen to this album — I corrected the listings in my digital library…

Oh I don't know, Dikachu. You must be thinking of some other band.

Dec 19: Jay Leno fly

This was a hilarious episode I appreciate more now that it's over, but man that first half made me extremely uncomfortable and I had to stop and come back to it later. The only thing I can think of that was so different was the stakes. So this for Winston's job, you know how important this is to him, and this is how…

yes, for 1988-1990 yes they were perfectly mastered and still perfectly mixed. maybe they can't be improved, if so, fine. I certainly wouldn't want them pushed too far and fall victim to loudness. but as well as the beatles remasters were done, I might've hoped the same could've been done for my two favorite albums,…

unfortunately I haven't seen the word "remastered" in any of these reports — shame because they both could've benefited from a little volume increase, if nothing else. But as dense as these recordings are, that might've been quite an undertaking. Also why not a Tour of a Black Planet dvd with FOABP package? Guess I…

Wednesday & Proud

How about Fever Pitch, the Ferrelly brothers film about the 2004 Red Sox that changed when the team decided instead of disappointing fans to win the World Series? and they brought Jimmy Fallon on the field to help celebrate? Crazy. I know it's just Boston sports but that seems like it'd

"have a question for us, dear readers? please send it to us and maybe we'll use it!

Yeah, Funches sounds like a mash-up of bunches of fun. Or fun punches. (He's ruthless with the fun.)

That escalated quickly. In the most beautiful way. Mic drop indeed. Nicely done everyone.

so, the Super Deluxe Edition:
1) my biggest issue with the reissue is making "She Hates Suprises", once just a bonus track on international editions, basically an official album track now. Terrible move — it's a terrible fucking song, and "Like Suicide" is exactly how the album should end.
2) I wish they had an option…

sure but I'd always assumed this is what The Stage Names / The Stand Ins was for.

I had no idea Teddy from Bob's Burgers was a singer, or had an agent.

It would have been crazy to see the Adventures of Beans Baxter, I show I watched as a young'un, listed here (but I knew it wouldn't be, no reason for it). I remember very little about it and doubt he would have either, but the name of that show still sticks in my mind. Kurtwood was a villain of some sort. Also, the…

Come watch the #1-ranked and defending national champion U of Florida gymnastics team and see defending all-around champion Bridget Sloan perform a consistenly awesome floor routine to "Seven Nation Army", like two weeks ago when she scored a perfect 10 with it (followed directly by another 10 from her teammate who…

props on the concept, can't have too much exposure on SM. but this article just gives rhyming words (not even the entire two lines of lyrics each is attached to) and has nothing more to say about them then "isn't this weird? what do they mean? nothing probably, who cares?"

But we're talking about the NATIONAL FOOTBALL LEAGUE! These manliest of men are performing America's most important jobs and should be respected as such. Heroes all! Huzzah! Now, let's talk about how 95% of 'em suck. And those guys who wore sleeves last week in sub-zero temps? PUSSIES.

Good man. As is? I briefly debated it, might still for the wedding, but oof those high notes. I mean, I could hit them 95% of the time on my own, but what are the odds that when I did it for real my voice would just utterly crack?
