Reminds me of Terry Allen. Perhaps he got to listen to this before recording "Lubbock (on Everything)".

I'm a big fan of "Orphan Black" and "Buffy the Vampire Slayer" is my all-time favorite show, but I got most excited about an entry I haven't even delved into yet. "Life is Strange" was (and is still being) written by my friend Christian Divine! I was quite intrigued when he told me about it last October, and I'm glad…

Perhaps not the most tragic death on TV, but for me the most traumatizing. "Where did she go?"

Hey, don't knock Dumbo's mother! That "Baby Mine" sequence gets me every time.

Yeah, I've been watching the show lately, and she could be incredibly neurotic and prone to bouts of anger that could be a bit frightening.

I think I would've gone with Edith Bunker ("All in the Family") for B and Sarah Manning ("Orphan Black") for M.

You might be right about that, but I can't imagine not going with Lorelai anyway. It's a mother's job to pass on her neuroses to her children, and Rory being caught in the middle of that mess between her mom and her grandparents is just a part of what she has to deal with while growing up, I'm afraid. Compared to what…

Oh, I know things are different at FOX now, but there are so many other networks to choose from, and I think he'd definitely have his pick of the litter at this point. Even now, if "Orphan Black" had aired on FOX (which would've toned down much of the content to begin with), it likely wouldn't have made it to a second…

I was one of those people who would follow Joss anywhere, but I'm not in a hurry to see this one. I don't want to say he's selling out, but surely there has to be something he'd rather do than churn out another one of these sure-fire box-office smashes. How about something a bit more original next time, Joss?!

I wish Joss would just give up this whole movie nonsense and go back to doing what he does best, which is television. I feel the same way about comic books . . . it's fine to do a bit of wading, but leave the real swimming to Alan Moore and other masters of the art. When it came to TV, Joss was one of the best and…

Katharine Hepburn was famous for saying that the right actors win but for the wrong roles, so it's a shame she wasn't included since there were many films she was worthy of more so than the four she actually won for ("Morning Glory," "Guess Who's Coming to Dinner," "The Lion in Winter" [the one standout], and "On…

As usual, I've come late to the party, so my opinion will fall on blind eyes. For many years now, I've thought it would be a good idea to toss out the "Original Score" and "Original Song" categories and replace them with "Best Use of Music." It should be about how the music is used to enhance the film, so films that…

And another poorly-shot video from 1994. Man, if I could play the guitar like that, I'd score myself a hot chick too!

Compare that with this performance of the same song from years earlier when Tatiana was more cute than sultry and Mike was just incredible:

Here's a staged "live" performance of Daisy Spot's "Crave." For those who never got to see the band in its prime, this probably looks pretty good, but Farrell is actually taking it easy here compared to the orgasmic workouts I saw back in the day.

Some years ago I went to a club to see a band called Ghost of the Robot just cause I was a huge "Buffy the Vampire Slayer" fan and James Marsters was their lead singer. So yeah, I went to see Spike's band, but a co-worker and I decided they were pretty sucky shortly after they got started. My co-worker and his wife…

I would've stayed for Petty, but I'd definitely be more interested in the Replacements and Lucinda Williams.

I should add that another former Soft Boy has recorded with Anton on a few of his albums. It's possible you're not familiar with Kimberley Rew, but you would almost definitely know a particular song he wrote for another band he was in: "Walking on Sunshine" by Katrina and the Waves. Now if Anton can figure out a way…

On 7/6/1990, I went to a large theater in Sacramento just to see local musician Anton Barbeau and his band the JoyBoys play. I was already a fan solely on the basis of his first cassette "Big Band Theory" (1986), but I had never seen him perform in a professional venue before. He was opening at the Crest Theater that…
