If Echoes isn't number one, then fuck right off.

How the hell Dave Perry to to be a "celebrity" game designer the world will never know. His games are pretty much universally garbage.

Also, everyone has to hear The Clint Boon Experience with MES on vocals doing Now I Wanna Be Your Dog (it's on disc 2 of A World Bewitched). Mark throws everything he's got into the vocals and it's fucking amazing.

Oh those are great singles! It and This Nation both kind of suffer a bit from having their middles stuffed with unrelated tracks. The second side of Wonderful and Frightening is much improved when taken on its own.

Infotainment is amazing I'll agree. Code:Selfish is good but I can't name a song on there that doesn't go on for a few minutes too much. I'm strangely fond of The Marshall Suite which has the killer opening of Touch Sensitive and F'oldin Money.

Pretty much anything from Grotesque to Bend Sinister is a classic for me. As for the 90s, the albums can mostly be skipped but the A Past Gone Mad comp collects all the hits while A World Bewitched collects everything else worth listening to (including most of MES' collaborations on other records). Definitely worth…

458489 A Sides was my entry point. I bought it knowing nothing of the band other than the article in the 1992 Rolling Stone Album Guide which was fascinating because they had a lot of albums and they were almost all highly rated.

I could listen to Tempo House over and over.

No no no no no you have to avoid those horribly mangled Beggars Banquet CD issues where they just awkwardly tossed in singles and b-sides between the two record sides and at the end.

I was trying to highlight the ridiculousness of having a DVD player in the dash. Also, the video doesn't play unless the parking brake is on.

Digital artifacts are obvious on even the most well mastered DVDs. Some of us enjoy looking at movies as visual arts.

My BMW has a DVD player in it standard. I keep a copy of Walk Hard in it because it's one of the best movies to listen to.

It's when your grandparents had something called an "iPod". It was like an iPhone but had no apps or video camera and it couldn't even connect to the internet!

Gil has to have died alone by now?

I just got my "Macarena Stud" jacket out of storage!

I don't remember pogs.

The season one commentaries are essential.

I have a theory that it actually shows up about as much as any other successful mid-90's release but it just seems much more ubiquitous due to its "none more orange" packaging.

Did you build a mansion of Cracked Rear View?

Oh we noticed. You could say it "dissolved" rather quickly.
