Roxy Music ‘More Than This’ 200 Cigarettes is cheesy love letter of a movie, but I do like it. 200 Cigarettes harkens back to Adventures in Babysitting or doing a switcheroo to daytime, Ferris Bueller’s Day Off. Anyway, jumping to the point of this post, the 200 Cigarettes soundtrack is 80’s-tastic. Spent some time listening to tracks [...]

I was sick for New Years. Like really sick. Which sucked. Like really sucked. But it gave me a bit of time to reflect. Which is something I really like to do. I like to think about things learned. In thinking about 2008, I saw that there was a pretty consistent theme. 2008 was The Year of the [...]

I dropped when you guys started playing the Violent Femmes. A film about rudderless carnies, this just stinks of success. I fail to see how this makes for a good movie. I lived through the 80's, can't say they were good enough to want to relive on film.

Guest blogger Scott writes: As the end of the year approaches, music blogs everywhere will be producing lists; best of ‘08, most anticipated of ‘09, biggest letdowns of ‘08. And for every list, there is someone like me who has nothing better to do than to poke holes in it. I was recently directed to nuTsie’s comprehensive [...]

One day, back when I was 17 and a Zep-head, my girlfriend popped a tape into the car dash, and this sound came out. It was my first time hearing the Violent Femmes, and their songs were everything that Led Zeppelin’s had stopped being — simple, direct, urgent, short. I was reminded of that moment [...]

One day, back when I was 17 and a Zep-head, my girlfriend popped a tape into the car dash, and this sound came out. It was my first time hearing the Violent Femmes, and their songs were everything that Led Zeppelin's had stopped being -- simple, direct, urgent, short. I was reminded of that moment when I came across Jeff "Bone" Smith's new comic RASL. In the year of "Watchmen: The Movie", it's great...

Some creepy and most likely very unhealthy recipes tell you to "just add water". Lately, my foolproof outfit ideas have been "just add thermal socks". The outfit would be fine without them, but its just so much better with them. I don't think my life would be half as joyous as it is now if I didn't own any thermal socks, or have friends to bond over the comfort and awesomeness of thermal socks with....

Rusty Banks. Composer. Did you learn anything in music school? Or does the phrase “circle of fifths” mean nothing to you? Circle of fifths? I remember that. Never cared for how it sounded, but it looked good on a T-shirt. Kinda like Glam Rock Super-group KISS. What’s your favorite “bad” piece of music? And briefly justify your crappy [...]

here...For those of you worried that Greg Mottola might succumb to the sophomore slump after SUPERBAD, two things: 1) he already beat it with SUPERBAD (we'll take that new DAYTRIPPERS DVD whenever you're ready, Sony), and 2) (currently attached to TWILIGHT) is pretty goddamn irresistible.Maybe the trailer comes on a little strong with the Rush and the Violent Femmes and the Bill Hader histrionics,...
