Carrey as The Cable Guy was borderline Mad Genius. I think he's at his best when he plays to the darkness, not away from it.

Great song, even greater record, but....I burnt out on it a couple of decades ago. Overexposure as a party-band player & as a listener. But the original, listened to with as fresh ears as possible is a pretyy stone cold landmark. But having said that...the Righteous Brothers/Spector things that I still dig deep down in the bowels of my Spectorphillia are "Hung On You" and "Just Once In My Life", both of which are darker songs and darker records that "You've Lost That Lovin' Feeling"...it's here where Spector starts to push the angst level up to the uncomfortable zone, and...I love the hell of it, although the real life that went into it was probably not so pretty. "Hung On You" is a tender Goffin/King guilty-about-cheating-but gonna-do-it-anyway-because MY SOUL IS DAMNED song that just bangs and booms and howls its way deeper and deeper into exactly what it knows it should be trying to get out of. "Just Once In My Life" is another Goffin-King angst anthem, this one like "The Poor Side Of Town" with all hope removed, because...that old pot of gold ain't so easy to find...no, it's just not there, never was, never will be, I'll bust ass for you, but it ain't gonna happen, but just let me get it with you,,,,and you KNOW that's gonna end up a maximized negatory...defeatism without guilt. Or illusion. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=eHqPWQuhyyM Of course, all this stuff sounds its bestest realest best real on Philles 45s (Philles LPs are a distant runner up but will do), and none of what you hear anywhere else, especially today. is telling the truth of what these records were and how they really sounded and waht taht sound FELT like coming out of the types of speakers they came out of. If it gets too clean, it's just passionate teen drama. But you get that shit in a dirty-grooved 45 that, been mastered and ubermax volume, and, yeah, you can hear some REALITY out of that noise, some adult reality. And let's not ever go to "I Wish I Never Saw The Sunshine". Sum y'all just not ready for that one just yet. Before he became a bad man (or even while he was a bad man, Phil Spector had a window there where he was a BAAAAAADDDDD Man.

Let's have Big Joe Turner sing Corrina Burana.

Feeling all anthropological this morning like I feel today.

That being said, Grohl couldn't even shine Beck's shoes (and I'm not Beck's biggest fan either). No argument there, but where they were going on that one, shoes were at best optional.

That doesn't say "Wrong note", does it? It sure doesn't say "Blue Note"!

Do ya' like batch files?

He would've been if he had learned a knuckleball. Seriously, R.A. Dickey's a good guy. We liked him when we had him here, and his recent success has been heartening. If we want to question a starter, question Verlander's performance...I get that he was in "exhibition mode", but the Tigers are not necessarily out of reach of making the Series this year, it's still do-able for them...so at least think about the implications, ya' know? OTOH, it's ultimately all Selig's fault. Fuck Bud Selig. With relish!

He was really good, but "gushing" about it seems a bit much..he exceeded expectations, but...he was still a non-comedian doing comedy, and that never really became non-apparent...but I laughed pretty good anyway. Then again, I like to laugh in general. A lot!

Same, to all of that. Maybe It's A Guitar Thing And I Just Don't Understand.

Much preferred him with the Foo Fighters on the same show:

Yeah it is, but my copy's got all these pops on it...LOUD pops...previous owner was apparently some guy named "Boss Bob", who as it might be expected, wrote his name in BIG letters on the back cover, as well as some weirdass indecipherable coding system alongside most of the tune titles. The one thing that makes sense is that he wrote "CRACKLIN BLUES" next to the title of "2 Degrees East, Three Degrees West" and I'm thinking, yeah, asshole, it's "cracklin'" becuase you didn't know how to take care of your records, you dumb fuck. Boss Bob. HA! Boss BOOB is more like it. Boss Bob Boob, Vinyl Torturer & All-Round Bad Person. OTOH, Von Freeman is totally badass all over this, so much so that not even Boss Bob's vile vinylatorial incompetence can detract for the noticing of it.

Was putting my LP of Cecil's Dark To Themselves back into the jacket when I noticed, for the first time, some kind of postmark looking stamp, just on the inside of the back cover. Upon closer inspection, I saw that it read "CONCERNED WITH INSIGNIFICANCES". Hmmmm....a little websearch shows that this phrase was associated with George Maciunas and the Fluxus movement, but I couldn't find anything about such a stamp being part of the routine...I did find one blog article about an album that also had such a stamp, though: http://thempm.wordpr...nsignificances/ But that's a Ray Agee album, nothing at all like Cecil Taylor. So...what do y'all know about stamps such as this on the inside of LP jackets, or just the stamp in general? There's a picture of the stamp on that blog post that's exactly the same as the one on my Cecil album.
