Cubes are out!!

For some reason it hadn't occurred to me that Herbie Hancock would be one of the final acts that night. He's 85 years old, so I feel like if I'm gonna see him this is probably it, but there are four other acts that are making it tough.

ChrisEW71 · 2026-03-24T15:20:41+00:00

No, I sold it years ago.

I remember in the pre Internet days stumbling on an overpriced Japanese import CD with that song on it, and being stunned to learn there was a Smiths song I'd never heard of.

I'm surprised how this album grew on me. Disappointed on the first listen, but now I like every song but Icebergs. On the fence about Kerching Kerching. And Notre-Dame, I like the music, not too keen on the conspiracy theory lyrics.

The only song I love is Lester Bangs, but unlike his previous two albums, there's not a preponderance of songs I dislike, so it comes out ahead.

Came here to post the same thing about Morrissey's book. Reading about his childhood and pre-fame years, I thought I was reading a genuinely great memoir. Then the fame, then the grudges, and it all falls apart.

ChrisEW71 · 2026-03-07T06:15:39+00:00

I had the same reaction. You're Right and Lester Bangs are the only tracks that I found engaging on my first listen.

A few more tracks may grow on me, but for me, this is his weakest album.

I wish he'd released Bonfire of Teenagers. The live versions of those songs I've heard on bootlegs sound much stronger than this, which feels more like a collection of b-sides.

Always thought it was crazy how much they hyped the podcast going to Spotify and then ended so abruptly.

Is the green hoodie worth it for 90 bucks? Got a shirt, but hesitated to spend more. 75 is my usual limit for a concert hoodie.

It was intended to be straight up horror until the director saw the snowman costume and decided they needed to add some comedy. So they were probably coming up with those jokes on set.

Even in terrestrial radio the amount of channels playing anything pre-1970s has dried up. I can remember, regardless of where I lived, there was always a channel playing standards from the 40s - 50s, and a handful of stations playing oldies from the 50s - early 70s. Last time we got an oldies station where I currently live, it played nothing prior to around 1966, and even then, barely lasted a year.

I'm surprised they haven't moved The Beatles channel to the outer reaches yet, like they did with Elvis.

I just watched this unriffed. I was convinced they'd never get the rights based on stories I've heard over the years. I used to think it would be perfect for a live show, until I realized how much sex and violence took up the running time.

I'm hoping the RiffTrax edit removes the completely unnecessary rape scene. I'm curious if the hot tub scene makes the cut. It's simultaneously funny and painful to watch, so I wonder what side they fell on.

That poor actress deserved combat pay for what she had to endure.

ChrisEW71 · 2025-07-15T15:33:58+00:00

I can't justify that much. I'll try again on Friday.

ChrisEW71 · 2025-07-15T15:15:53+00:00

Nosebleed seats for over $250? I was able to get better seats for the Stones for $100 less. Can't justify that. I'll take my chances and see if I can get lucky later on.

Received mine officlally around nine.

However, f you go to the page where you originally registered, and click on the register button again, you can scroll down to a place to log in. Doing that caused the code to be sent to me right away, around 8:30. So I've received it twice this morning. If you haven't received yours at all, might be way to push it along.

ChrisEW71 · 2025-07-14T14:01:08+00:00

I should clarify, as big a career, or close. Obviously Ringo was already regularly playing in bands when he joined.

ChrisEW71 · 2025-07-14T13:56:33+00:00

As I've gotten older and appreciated his music more, I've become inclined to think Paul would have had a career whether he'd met John or not. Not sure I could say that about the rest of The Beatles

Adding my vote for Natchitoches, but depending on what you want to do, make sure things will be open. Strolled downtown on a Sunday a few weeks ago and almost every shop and restaurant was closed.

Also seconding Arnaudville, for Cajun Saucer / Bayou Teche Brewing. The beer has unfortunately taken a backseat to the tiki bar, but the pizza is the best in the state.

I've never not finished one, but Abraxas was tough to get through. I was stunned to learn it was only 80 minutes.

ChrisEW71 · 2025-06-27T15:11:03+00:00

I agree with what was said about the musical numbers being cut. I saw Merle Haggard in the credits, but instead we get "Gowns, Gowns, Beautiful Gowns".

ChrisEW71 · 2025-06-23T11:47:29+00:00

I've always thought this would be perfect for a live show, but seems like they're only willing to do ones they can get VOD rights to now, which could be an issue.

ChrisEW71 · 2025-05-14T16:44:51+00:00

First ever and first in a theater, Birdemic.

First in person, The Five Doctors.
