I haven't listened yet to the album by itself (though am anticipating it on my doorstep when I get home from work!), but I loved everything that was played in the film — but that's with the caveat that I really like Push the Sky Away, so my tastes may skew a little differently from yours. If anything, it reminds me…

"For reasons that seem sort of masochistic, Cave invited a film crew into the studio for the recording process."

I just caught Laura Albert's interview on Marc Maron from last week, and she pretty much gave a master class in narcissism, manipulativeness, and weepy self-regard. Which feels like a terrible thing to say about someone who is clearly very, very mentally ill and undoubtedly endured awful things, but… yeah. A shitshow…

LONG LIVE MARTHA!

Oh my god, I loved Lilo & Stitch. When it came out I basically showered my then-toddler nephew with virtually every Stitch toy I could get my hands on, then would volunteer to babysit at every possible opportunity so we could play Lilo & Stitch for hours. He was young enough at the time that aside from some photos of…

Seriously, no Shearwater?

Hey, all the best to you!! I went through radiation/surgery/chemo for stage 2 colon cancer about 5 years ago (in fact, I think the time I saw Sharon Jones was one of the first concerts I made it to after chemo wrapped up) and I swear it took a good year or two just to get over treatment. Congrats on getting through…

Saw her open for Paul Weller about 5 years ago. She's an astonishing, uncommonly powerful and moving performer. Don't miss her!!

I keep misreading it as The Gloucester, which conjures up images of Bowie as the Gorton's Fisherman.

That is fucking GENIUS. (Now if only there was an entire Rocky Horror filter I could apply to House of Cards… I might actually be willing to start watching it again.)

"more Frank Underwood than Freddie Mercury" — HAHAHA oh my god, I love that.

We randomly get misdirected mail for some dude who evidently has a recurring role on Teen Wolf (he lives in our neighborhood), including a "gold record" that was sent to him by some PR company commemorating his "one million Instagram followers" (though his real Instagram account appears to be about 700,000 shy of that…

Thanks, I'll watch Bedella's performance again! (And that's a great Fripp quote.)

One of the (many) things about Tim Curry's performance that makes it impossible to top (pun not intended, but welcomed nonetheless) is that it's not just camp; it's that there's genuinely something the teensiest bit malevolent about him. In other words, Curry's Frank is sexy because he's glorious and funny and…

I'm positive he did. Consider:

Scott Baio makes me want to go back in time and shake some sense into my 7-year-old self. "I don't CARE how cute he is in Bugsy Malone! YOU ARE GOING TO REGRET THIS SOMEDAY."

"'Eminendrix' looks resplendent with his purple toreador jacket"

Though her words are simple and few
Listen, listen, she's calling to you:
"Feed the trolls, Trumppence a bag
Trumppence, Trumppence, Trumppence a bag"

I originally saw the first two Lethal Weapons in a double-feature screening on a ferry from Le Havre, France, to Rosslare, Ireland, sometime in the early '90s while surrounded by hundreds of drunken Irish teenagers on spring break. As you might imagine, this is the best way to experience these films.

"Her voice sounds like a truck full of rain." A better-than-average entry in the Best Tom Waits Lines Not Written By Tom Waits category.
