Title: Shocking new photo of Virginia Tech killer surfaces Body:

Title: Remember when, in Oldboy, the guy found out he'd been fucking his daughter? Body: How do you suppose that fit into the VT killer's manifesto.

His daughter's probably a spoiled cunt. I <3 Alec Baldwin.

Oh my, this made me laugh.

haha Anyway, I've long contended that Ride's Nowhere is better than MBV's Loveless (the former generally considered the second best shoegaze album, behind the latter). I mean, christ, Nowhere has "Vapour Trail." In other news, a good band that few people talk about these days that would fall under this category is Rollerskate Skinny.

Psh, this was another trend I started.

Journey - Infinity First line: "I hear you talking when I'm on the street." Last line: "You're gonna be the death of me."

I was too hip for this thread.

Man, I didn't ruin this for you guys, did I?

I'd read that about Hillcoat, too; if The Proposition was any indication, him filming The Road could be good, but, now that the source material is a Pulitzer Prize-winning "Oprah book," how long before Hillcoat's set aside and Spielberg comes in and ruins everything? EDIT: Hey, he did an interview in Vanity Fair just two years ago! That one slipped by me.

That's good that Rundgren doesn't feel compelled to just get by "playing the hits," though that would be the only reason I'd want to see him. That album he put out a couple of years ago was garbage.

I'm still a little stunned McCarthy will actually be on Oprah's show. While he's not at Pynchon-levels of publicity-shy, he's only done one print interview (which was 15 years ago) and no television interviews. Good for him, though, what with the deserved increase in book sales and the Pulitzer and all that. Here's hoping the Coen Brothers's take on his No Country for Old Men delivers.

Todd Rundgren is playing here in a few weeks. I'm this close to pulling a King Kamala Classic and going.

I had to google that, which, as potentially fun as this game can be, was all too tempting.

smitty, a scenario more likely than a Mexican standoff is some drunken, armed college student shooting at another one during an argument over a sports team/a girl/generally being a nuisance; or some lousy, intoxicated/high shithead mad at his professor over a bad grade, killing him and who knows who else. The booze/drugs factor is important here, as college students are usually one or the other. They don't need guns.

Curry is so hilariously oblivious.

I like those little throwaway moments on the White Album. Sure, a number of them don't stand outside of the album's context, but hey, that's why it's meant to be listened to from start to finish.

Only mildly related, but, given that I've been listening a lot to Miles Davis's fusion stuff again, allow me to lament the overall lack of good fusion. I like the Mahavishnu Orchestra (at least the first two albums with the original line-up; that's all I've checked out) and about half of Herbie Hancock's work from the early-to-mid-70s, but almost everything else I've heard is awful. Miles was the only great one in the field.

I don't approve of gary floyd's italicizing song titles. That should be reserved for albums, only. Songs are put in quotation marks!

I'm certain soulseek will be much more beneficial in finding this album than it was for that Tom Cochrane I was looking for. Here's hoping!

"Where's the Love," the follow-up single to "mmmBop," is good, too. I should download the album.

Have you and I discussed it? Because that covers my feelings on Steely Dan to a tee.

Fuck your good weather. We're getting slammed with a nor'easter right now; a palm tree near the entrance of my complex was blown over. Entirely uprooted!

Then knock yourself out! Vonnegut got really bad late in his life, though, albeit almost amusingly so.

That Radiodread version of "Airbag" was cute for the first minute or so. That, plus the two minutes that followed, is the sum of my exposure to the dub/reggae covers thing being discussed.
