I'm pretty sure it's "profits":

Chris Brown is justifiably upset.  You see, Frank Ocean stole the name of his album from Mr. Brown's pet name for his Lamborghini.

Bravo:  Real Housewives of the CDC

The other thing I liked about "Gilligan's Island" is they had a closing theme, also with lyrics:

I've always gotten a kick out of the fact that even with a cast of only seven people, the initial version of the "Gilligan's Island" theme song felt that the Professor and Mary Ann were beneath being mentioned individually:

You're breaking Tom Hanks' heart, you bastards!

When my oldest was probably 3 or 4, I had James Brown on and he was getting into it.  He looks up at me and says, "I like this song, Dad, what is it?"  I said, "Well, son, this is 'Get Up (I Feel Like Being a) Sex Machine'"

I've got two grown kids (college and almost-college) and a toddler.  My approach has always been to just play the music I like to listen to around the house and talk to them about it.  I've given them specific things from time to time, but most of those efforts didn't really take root.

Maybe Brett Ratner will mistake it for an adaptation of "The Big Butt Book" and sign on!

And my tongue is *still* frozen to the mouthpiece!

Probably more or less.  It wasn't a term I had seen before this morning.  From some brief research, the skinheads were kind of a splinter group from the mods in the mid-late 60s (it sounds like they were more working-class and less interested in the fancy clothes, etc.)  It sounds like "skinhead reggae" was the more…

Trojan has a series of reggae box sets of pretty much every imaginable type:  ska, roots, dub, rocksteady, skinhead, suedehead, etc.  I've gotten a few of them and I think they're a lot of fun.  There are usually 3 discs with 50 tracks, the quality is decent and the price is pretty reasonable.  My only experience with…

Always with the negative waves, big red NO.  Always with the negative waves.

I like both "Heroes" and "Low," but I also give "Heroes" the edge.

I'm very fond of Bruce Cockburn's "Christmas," as I've mentioned here in past years.  It barely falls into the 20 year window (1993).  There are a few weak tracks, but overall I consider it excellent.

I usually do, too, but I'm old.  I don't usually have to spend the last half hour sobbing quietly and wishing the little, hairy-footed bastards would just get on the boat, followed by a mad dash to the bathroom…

I checked the wikipedia page to remind myself about some of the details.  It says that both Ralph Bakshi and Peter Jackson didn't include him because he doesn't advance the plot and it would make their movies too long.  I think that's pretty funny, especially in Peter Jackson's case.  I had to go to the bathroom at…
