henson was a riot on 'talk soup', but he hasn't found a way to be funny anywhere else. i don't really have any desire to see this show.

bob dylan - "it's all over now, baby blue" (live version)

at about the 3 1/2 or 4 minute mark of "there there", when it starts building and building. great stuff. of course "where did you sleep last night" when cobain takes a deep breath and then starts wailing.

sweet jesus this is a hard one. i'll go with 'bitches brew' for its depth, and because "sanctuary" is my favorite miles song ever. 'nefertiti' is a terrific one that often goes unmentioned.

You bash Flair, yet you quote Bret Hart. I like Bret Hart too but he's even more predictable with his FIVE MOVES OF DOOM and wrestles the same match all the time unless his opponent sucks that bad. okay, THIS is sheer stupidity. i assume you've seen the following matches: bret v. bulldog, summerslam 92 bret v. mr perfect, KOR 93 bret v. owen, summerslam 94 bret v. diesel, survivor series 95 bret v. austin, WM 13 take in that list for a second. ... good. hopefully, you've reached the conclusion that these matches essentially ARE NOTHING ALIKE. there is quite a bit more variety in bret's body of work than there is in flair's. 5 matches out of the thousands he's wrestled is like saying he wrestled 99.9999% of his matches the same, which is pretty much the same as Flair. <sigh> okay, you apparently still don't get it, so i'll list some more. hart foundation v. austin/LOD/shamrock/goldust, canadian stampede bret v. austin, SurSer 96 bret v. flair (iron man), boston garden house show bret v. owen, WM 10 bret v. bulldog, IYH 95 bret v. piper, WM 8 hell, even bret v. hbk, WM 12 or bret v. yokozuna, WM 10 the point isn't even that all these were spectacular matches, the point is they were DIFFERENT. bret worked each of these matches DIFFERENTLY. hence, my point that his body of work is varied.

i always thought "the sky is a landfill" was a little on the corny side. "everybody here wants you" is much smoother & more subtle. oh, yeah: miles - 'miles ahead' i desperately needed some smoothness to wash down that aural assault from earlier today.

ooh, good choice.

edit: and the brain-raping has affected my ability to post properly.

john coltrane - 'ascension' miles davis - 'bitches brew' more or less back-to-back, listening to "european son," "melody laughter" and "it was a pleasure then" by the velvet underground in the 20-minute downtime. i am never doing that again, i felt like my brain had been raped.

miles - 'bitches brew' in comparison, this seems so...serene.

john coltrane - 'ascension', which i just picked up an hour ago. this is like aural heroin. it's doing strange things to my focus & my ability to string sentences together, and i think i like it.

the james joyce alter ego stephen dedalus, or is there a stephen dedalus music artist i'm not aware of?

we have an early candidate for post of the year. i haven't actually WATCHED an episode of wwf tv in forever, so i can't really add anything meaningful. i just wanted to make that one little observation.

where do you people find the time to listen to six albums in one day? i spend every spare minute with my discman on, & i barely find the time to get through three.

people complain about his *no-selling*: i.e., the kip-up. they don't complain about his *lack of selling*. there's a pronounced difference. and shawn DID cartoonishly oversell in this match. i remember one point where undertaker punched him & he flew back something like 4 feet and fell on the ground. that is not "i'm gonna make it look like it really hurts," that's "i'm going to flop around as much as i possibly can." in places, it seriously looked like slapstick, not wrestling. that said, i still love the match, even though it's pretty slow as well. good, strong story, & the way shawn got out of the cage was genius.

my christmas break absolutely sucked. but when i got back to school my official GRE scores were waiting for me and were really promising. so it's been a mixed bag for me.

how did kerry do? i only got to see a speech of his that afternoon and didn't catch the actual debate, & i was actually pretty impressed.

quick, somebody post a david schwimmer picture, i'm too lazy to.

whenever i'm eating with friends & i have to piss, i always say, "i'm gonna go powder my nose."

i demand more special features. this deserves a 'kane' DVD treatment.

VU album tracks edition: 1. venus in furs 2. after hours 3. new age 4. heroin 5. heard her call my name

isn't eddie about as old as benoit is? his body has been known to be less durable too.

wow. i don't think i could even name 5 songs by pat benetar. velvet underground "lost tracks" edition: 1. satellite of love 2. ocean 3. ride into the sun 4. foggy notion 5. i can't stand it

what edwin basically said: huge crossover appeal. everybody loves outkast, it's like the damn beatles. and, at least in her 'fumbling towards ecstasy' phase (which was when she started getting airplay), sarah was much more alternative than pop.
