Greetings, best beloved Pagani! The world spins, the dark rushes up, but we are in the midst of some strange blush of September in what should be November’s creeping chill. 70 degrees does not an encroaching winter day make. Days like this make me nervous and wary, visions of planetary enviro-apocalypse dancing in my head, [...]
So apparently it's like nearly a new decade or something. Or maybe not. I still get confused with the 9s and the 0s and so forth as to what is numerically proper. But anyhoo, many bloggers lately have been making with the decade-end lists , and you know I love a good list. So how about my Favorite 20 Records of the 2000s'* *By the way I think it's really really weird that now that the decade is nearly...
Kind of. What's popular is relative to a whole and my whole consists of about 6 people. Therefore, one person is worth about 17% (16.6% recurring to be exact) and so that makes them, well technically a minority, but still a powerful one. Everybody has some significant sway at this point. 17% is larger than the percentage of black people in the whole of America, so yeah... I'd better fucking listen....
2:00 a.m. wine is a risky endeavor. On the proper occasion, it can be wise, if not essential to ease social awkwardness, set the mood, or just get your mind right. However, should things not go your way, it can be the recipe to a sledgehammer headache worthy of Peter Gabriel (no shock that monkey.) [...]
Peter Gabriel is reportedly set to release an orchestral covers album. Called "Scratch My Back" the album is reported to be a "song swap" with a host of "extremely legendary artists" set to cover each other's material. "The songs are not simply covers," Gabriel collaborator John Metcalfe told BBC 6 Music. "They are major reinterpretations of some famous...
You can put a guy in a trench coat. You can hand him a boombox blasting Peter Gabriel. You can make even break his heart. But you cannot make him Lloyd Dobler, aka the body overtaken by symbiont John... 1 Vote(s)
More than Zappa’s Joe’s Garage. More than Centerfield. More than the Indiana Jones Theme Song. More than AC/DC’s Thunderstruck. More than even Glen Miller’s In the Mood. If I ever got the once in a lifetime chance to request a single song for Phish to cover, there currently exists one song that I would rather hear over any other song. It’s called Indoda Yejazi Elimnyama...
“The 20th Anniversary Edition Blu-ray and DVD of Say Anything came out yesterday, and to mark the occasion, numerous men with lots of free time dressed up in trench coats and hoisted boomboxes above their heads and marched throughout New York City serenading people with the strains of Peter Gabriel’s “In Your Eyes,” and a [...]
There hasn’t been much to cheer for if you’ve been a fan of the New York Knickerbockers over the last decade or so. While the once mighty franchise has struggled, there is now a reason to watch them - for the beginning of their on Friday night games on MSG at least - as they will feature a new song and video from Robert Randolph & The Family Band . The song, called Get There, features...
You can put a guy in a trench coat. You can hand him a boombox blasting Peter Gabriel. You can make even break his heart. But you cannot make him Lloyd Dobler , aka the body overtaken by symbiont John Cusack . I should celebrate this image, an army of Lloyd Doblers assembling in the name of hope, love and universal rejection of general societal pressure. But I can't help but wonder what Dobler himself...
You can put a guy in a trench coat. You can hand him a boombox blasting Peter Gabriel. You can make — even break — his heart. But you cannot make him Lloyd Dobler, aka the body overtaken by symbiont John Cusack. (more…)
On behalf of the good folks over @motionbox.com, Josh Halbur and I are thrilled to announce this month’s winners: Jon Hammond took the Motionbox premium membership and Kit Hughes won the HD cam. Working with their teams, each turned in all the right answers along the trail. As did most of you who entered! So a [...]
Yesterday marked the release of the 20th anniversary edition of Say Anything, which is definitely in the running for our favorite '80s movie of all time(In case you don't know — and you should — the film stars John Cusack as Lloyd Dobler, who attempts to win back his dreamgirl Diane Court by holding a boombox blasting Peter Gabriel's "In Your Eyes" over his head. To celebrate,...
CHICAGO (Billboard) –Genesis keyboardist Tony Banks isn't taking his tuxedo to the dry cleaner yet. But he's hoping that the British prog rockers, who are on the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame ballot for the first time, wind up collecting trophies at the March 15 induction ceremony in New York City. "It'll be great if it does happen," Banks tells Billboard.com, "but I can't really tell whether we're going...
