That's definitely your best one yet, baytor. Keep it up, and check your PM's for some of my ideas.

That made my fucking day baytor. If I'm lucky I may get the Knoll back tomorrow, I can't stand to be away from you guys.

Cheers 2track, I love to relax with some good dub m'self.

KOS already posted my favorite of theirs ('Doolittle'), but I always preferred this one's cover. Very subtle, darkly sexy:

Haunting, foreboding, fits the album perfectly (IC, did you get a chance to listen to this yet, if so, what'd ya think?):

And the deluxe edition, with the case designed to look like a lighter:

A few from My Bloody Valentine:

 

Boogie on Reggae Woman - Bob Marley

Good call, MM. Nothing beats Bob's early years.

Currently listening to:

Th Smiths - This Charming Man

Punctured bicycle

On a hillside desolate

Will nature make a man of me yet ?

When in this charming car

This charming man

Why pamper life's complexity

When the leather runs smooth

On the passenger seat ?

I would go out tonight

But I haven't got a stitch to wear

This man said "it's gruesome

That someone so handsome should care"

Ah ! A jumped-up pantry boy

Who never knew his place

He said "return the ring"

He knows so much about these things

He knows so much about these things

I would go out tonight

But I haven't got a stitch to wear

This man said "it's gruesome

That someone so handsome should care"

La, la-la, la-la, la-la, this charming man ...

Oh, la-la, la-la, la-la, this charming man ...

Ah ! A jumped-up pantry boy

Who never knew his place

He said "return the ring"

He knows so much about these things

He knows so much about these things

He knows so much about these things

Yo IC, just finished up through issue 258, and craving more. I was kinda confused when Serpico went and acted the prick, challenging Guts to a duel and all. His motive wasn't even that clear...was he trying to protect Farney from being hurt by Guts in the event that he lost control of the Berserker armor? Anyways, I thought he'd have more sense than to challenge the black swordsman to a one-on-one.

So this series is still running in Japan, huh? No end in sight? I just hope Miura can pull together a good ending. I'm not expecting anything too happy, this being a gothic fantasy and all, maybe the best I can hope for is a tragedy with some sort of silver lining. 'Course, if I were to write the ending, it would consist of Guts ripping Griffith a new vagina, then proceeding to brutally rape and kill that smiling little Sonia girl that follows Griffith around (god, I hate her), then riding off into the sunset with a fully recovered Caska to live with all the elves. Too optimistic?

Send me along those improved translations if ya can, I'll replace your blank CD's (got a great big stock). Cheers dude.

P.S. panch, yeah, was thinkin' the same thing about a live-action Berserk. Would hafta be a particular story arc or an offshoot maybe, no way to condense something that epic into a single film.

^Love it Jax.

Who caught the 'Let's Nab Oprah' episode? Was pretty funny, I liked Ed and Rummy's exchange on "nigga technology"...

I sent that bitch a smiley face. Bitches love smiley faces.

The action scenes were cool too, left me craving one of Huey's shock gloves.

I agree with FireDownBelow, The Shining deserves to be up there. Not often that a movie is better than the book it's based upon. And then there's my all-time favorite horror flick, Videodrome.

Still, nice list MM, only entries I disagree with are Pet Semetary and Poltergeist...blech.

Is it cool if we've never heard a lot of these people? I'll just put an N/A by all the ones I'm not familiar with.

1) The Ramones - Blitzkrieg Bop

2) Marvin Gaye - Let's Get It On

3) Creedence Clearwater Revival - N/A

4) James Brown - N/A

5) Buddy Holly - N/A

6) Stone Temple Pilots - N/A

7) Lynyrd Skynyrd - Sweet Home Alabama (only song I know by them)

8) Led Zeppelin - Kashmir (haven't listened to 'em in a while though)

9) Sade - N/A

10) The Clash - Hateful

11) Queen - Another One Bites the Dust (again, 's been a while)

12) The Specials - International Jet Set

I'm going to see Steel Pulse in March, when they drop by St. Petersburg.

I....don't blame ya'll if you have no idea who they are...

Alright, I stand corrected. Prolly should've actually looked up the lyrics.

Last night's episode was just ok. I wasn't really digging it til MLK's speech at the end.

Nick Cave - The Curse of Millhaven

I live in a town called Millhaven

And it's small and it's mean and it's cold

But if you come around just as the sun goes down

You can watch the whole town turn to gold

It's around about then that I used to go a-roaming

Singing La la la la La la la lie

All God's children they all gotta die

My name is Loretta but I prefer Lottie

I'm closing in on my fifteenth year

And if you think you have seen a pair of eyes more green

Then you sure didn't see them around here

My hair is yellow and I'm always a-combing

La la la la La la la lie

Mama often told me we all got to die

You must have heard about The Curse Of Millhaven

How last Christmas Bill Blake's little boy didn't come home

They found him next week in One Mile Creek

His head bashed in and his pockets full of stones

Well, just imagine all the wailing and moaning

La la la la La la la lie

Even little Billy Blake's boy, he had to die

Then Professor O'Rye from Millhaven High

Found nailed to his door his prize-winning terrier

Then next day the old fool brought little Biko to school

And we all had to watch as he buried her

His eulogy to Biko had all the tears a-flowing

La la la la La la la lie

Even God's little creatures, they have to die

Our little town fell into a state of shock

A lot of people were saying things that made little sense

Then the next thing you know the head of Handyman Joe

Was found in the fountain of the Mayor's residence

Foul play can really get a small town going

La la la la La la la lie

Even God's children all have to die

Then, in a cruel twist of fate, old Mrs Colgate

Was stabbed but the job was not complete

The last thing she said before the cops pronounced her dead

Was, "My killer is Loretta and she lives across the street!"

Twenty cops burst through my door without even phoning

La la la la La la la lie

The young ones, the old ones, they all gotta die

Yes, it is I, Lottie. The Curse Of Millhaven

I've struck horror in the heart of this town

Like my eyes ain't green and my hair ain't yellow

It's more like the other way around

I gotta pretty little mouth underneath all the foaming

La la la la La la la lie

Sooner or later we all gotta die

Since I was no bigger than a weavil they've been saying I was evil

That if "bad" was a boot that I'd fit it

That I'm a wicked young lady, but I've been trying hard lately

O fuck it! I'm a monster! I admit it!

It makes me so mad my blood really starts a-going

La la la la La la la lie

Mama always told me that we all gotta die

Yeah, I drowned the Blakey kid, stabbed Mrs. Colgate, I admit

Did the handyman with his circular saw in his garden shed

But I never crucified little Biko, that was two junior high school psychos

Stinky Bohoon and his friend with the pumpkin-sized head

I'll sing to the lot, now you got me going

La la la la La la la lie

All God's children have all gotta die

There were all the others, all our sisters and brothers

You assumed were accidents, best forgotten

Recall the children who broke through the ice on Lake Tahoo?

Everyone assumed the "Warning" signs had followed them to the bottom

Well, they're underneath the house where I do quite a bit of stowing

La la la la La la la lie

Even twenty little children, they had to die

And the fire of '91 that razed the Bella Vista slum

There was the biggest shit-fight this country's ever seen

Insurance companies ruined, land lords getting sued

All cause of wee girl with a can of gasoline

Those flames really roared when the wind started blowing

La la la la La la la lie

Rich man, poor man, all got to die

Well I confessed to all these crimes and they put me on trial

I was laughing when they took me away

Off to the asylum in an old black Mariah

It ain't home, but you know, it's fucking better than jail

It ain't such bad old place to have a home in

La la la la La la la lie

All God's children they all gotta die

Now I got shrinks that will not rest with their endless Rorschach tests

I keep telling them they're out to get me

They ask me if I feel remorse and I answer, "Why of course!

There is so much more I could have done if they'd let me!"

So it's Rorschach and Prozac and everything is groovy

Singing La la la la La la la lie

All God's children they all have to die

La la la la La la la lie

I'm happy as a lark and everything is fine

Singing La la la la La la la lie

Yeah, everything is groovy and everything is fine

Singing La la la la La la la lie

All God's children they gotta die

This is quickly becoming my favorite show on Adult Swim, and possibly my favorite show on television. Random humor just really does it for me, I guess. Carl cracks me up the most, and Shake and Meatwad are hilarious. Those mooninite guys are great too. I'm officially addicted.

So far my favorite episode has been the R. Kelly trial. The gas station shootout, christmas special, and the last pimp-my-ride episode have all been pure class too, and the MLK episode looks like it'll be great. And yes, the theme song indeed kicks ass.

I am the stone that the builder refused

I am the visual, the inspiration that made ladies sing the blues

somethin', somethin'....

I am the ballot in your box, the bullet in your gun

And I'ma remain a soldier, til the war is won

chuck chuck chuck

Eh...couldn't resist.

Beck- Loser

In the time of chimpanzees I was a monkey

butane in my veins so i'm out to cut the junkie

with the plastic eyeballs

spray paint the vegetables

dog food stalls with the beefcake pantyhose

kill the headlights and put it in neutral

stock car flamin' with a loser and the cruise control

baby's in Reno with the vitamin D

got a couple of couches sleep on the love seat

someone keeps sayin' I'm insane to complain about

a shotgun wedding and a stain on my shirt

don't believe everything that you breathe

you get a parking violation and a maggot on your sleeve

so shave your face with some mace in the dark

savin' all your food stamps and burnin' down the trailer park

(yo cut it)

Soy un perdedor I'm a loser baby so why don't you kill me?

(double-barrel buckshot)

Soy un perdedor i'm a loser baby,so why don't you kill me?

Forces of evil in a bozo nightmare

banned all the music with a phony gas chamber

'cuz one's got a weasel and the other's got a flag

one's got on the pole shove the other in a bag

with the rerun shows and the cocaine nose job

the daytime crap with the folksinger slop

he hung himself with a guitar string

slap the turkey neck and it's hangin' on a pigeon wing

you can't write if you can't relate

trade the cash for the beef for the body for the hate

and my time is a piece of wax

fallin' on a termite who's chokin' on the splinters

Soy un perdedor I'm a loser baby so why don't you kill me?

(get crazy with the cheeze whiz)

Soy un perdedor I'm a loser baby so why don't you kill me?

(drive-by body pierce)

(yo bring it on down)

soooooooyy....

(I'm a driver I'm a winner things are gonna change I can feel it)

Soy un perdedor I'm a loser baby so why don't you kill me?

(I can't believe you)

Soy un perdedor I'm a loser baby so why don't you kill me?

Soy un perdedor I'm a loser baby so why don't you kill me?

[repeat]

(Sprechen sie Deutches, baby)

Soy un perdedor I'm a loser baby so why don't you kill me?

(Know what I'm sayin'?)

Same here. Wait, you mean White Moon right? Otherwise I dunno what you're talking about.

I can't get that album or their White Blood Cells album outta my head.

Obsessed with the Pixies as usual...

We're Going To Be Friends- The White Stripes

Fall is here, hear the yell

back to school, ring the bell

brand new shoes, walking blues

climb the fence, books and pens

I can tell that we're going to be friends

Walk with me, Suzy Lee

through the park and by the tree

we will rest upon the ground

and look at all the bugs we found

then safely walk to school

without a sound

Well here we are, no one else

we walked to school all by ourselves

there's dirt on our uniforms

from chasing all the ants and worms

we clean up and now its time to learn

Numbers, letters, learn to spell

nouns, and books, and show and tell

at playtime we will throw the ball

back to class, through the hall

teacher marks our height

against the wall

And we don't notice any time pass

we don't notice anything

we sit side by side in every class

teacher thinks that I sound funny

but she likes the way you sing

Tonight I'll dream while in my bed

when silly thoughts go through my head

about the bugs and alphabet

and when I wake tomorrow I'll bet

that you and I will walk together again

cause I can tell that we're going to be friends

Swap Meet- Nirvana

They lead a lifetime that is comfortable

They travel far to keep their stomachs full

They make their living off of arts and crafts

They kind with seashells driftwood and burlap

They make a deal when they come to town

The Sunday swap meet is a battle ground

She loves him more than he will ever know

He loves her more than he will ever show

--Keeps his cigarettes close to his heart

--Keeps her photographs close to her heart

--Keeps the bitterness close to the heart

More Pixies- "Monkey Gone To Heaven"

there was a guy

an under water guy who controlled the sea

got killed by ten million pounds of sludge

from new york and new jersey

this monkey's gone to heaven

the creature in the sky

got sucked in a hole

now there's a hole in the sky

and the ground's not cold

and if the ground's not cold

everything is gonna burn

we'll all take turns

i'll get mine, too

this monkey's gone to heaven

rock me joe!

if man is 5 [3x]

then the devil is 6 [5x]

then god is 7 [3x]

this monkey's gone to heaven

Never underestimate the power of makeup...

I loved Ico. It was the closest the videogame medium has ever come to a work of art, and Colossus looks even more beautiful. Can't wait to get my hands on this bitch.

"Tame" by the Pixies

got hips like cinderella

must be having a good shame

talking sweet about nothing

cookie i think you're

tame

i'm making good friends with you

when you're shaking your good frame

fall on your face in those bad shoes

lying there like you're tame

uh huh huh

tame

The first episode was great. If they keep it up, this'll quickly become one of the best shows on AS.
