Commiserations. Feels like a death sentence to start with but it's possible to accept it eventually and not let it get you down if it's a moderate form. Stress most definitely aggravates it. There's a psychological aspect to it. I got mine …

I've done a few episodes. Pretty stupid but I do slightly enjoy it. A few things: 1) he understands Norwegian yet cannot speak it, I know this shouldn't jar but it does a bit 2) violence wins out every time, with little to no irony 3) love the scene…

Yeah, I've watched that video before and it is creepy, which is funny but he isn't really like that. First album is sublime. Musical themes recur throughout it and it's dreamlike and floaty though with good grooves. The subject matter is bizarre …

Bona fide bad ass muthafucker/ gentleman. Wow.

I read his book about the making of his Malcolm X film, and my respect for him went up about 7000%. I can see how he'd care not for the woes of someone who may well have been ripped off by the agency responsible for the artwork for one of his films.…

It seems obvious to me that you would encourage whatever taste in music your child exhibits without forcing onto them solely your idea of good music, and that you'd sing basslines, vocally harmonise with and dance to whatever you're playing in the h…

I thought we'd be playing music for my son constantly, then we got to one year and I realised we hadn't. I was convinced he perked his ears up to Michael Kiwanuka in the first few weeks but it's hard to tell at that age, he had a variety of seemi…

I thought Napalm Death sounded crazy when I first copied a tape of them. Listening now on YouTube the band sound like a normal kind of thrashy metal to me (I don't really know about the distinctions between Speed Metal and Death Metal etc) and perfe…

So beautiful!!!!!!

highscheme said:This show is so hyped???never seen anything like this. Every forum I read has people obsessed with this show. I guess I find it strange to find near universal praise for this series across a wide spectrum of communities that are …

I remember watching the first episode (on a weird drug comedown) and now I've seen the last (with my one yr-old child sleeping in the next room). I'm being sentimental. A lot's happened. I'm glad they tied up most of the loose ends. A sense of c…

Reynaldo said:Can meth cooking recipes not be written down in extreme detail? Or is Jesse too stupid to put into words his cooking process, and the Nazi guys too dumb to carry out detailed instructions? That part of the show never rang true to me. I…

djwaxon said:That episode was something else - watched it all with a grimace on my face Me too. Why did Walt try and save Hank? I mean, did he actually like Hank, or think there might be some possible version of the future in which both he…

I think the shootout was a stylised farewell sequence for Hank 'n Gomey. Note Gomey tapping on Timmy Dipshit's car window with his wedding ring, as well as Hank's prematurely triumphant call to Marie. Those dudes are out of here. I think Walt 'n …

Double post, sorry

toby.d said:Will definitely be using this thread as a reference. I've recently read Ritual by David Pinner. It was the inspiration for The Wicker Man. And a bunch of forgettable James Pattersons (guilty). Thanks! I'mma seek out that Dav…

Really enjoyed seeing Hank squirm like that. Bad Hank. Also to witness Marie realising the degree of Skylar's complicity. Where the f*** is Flynn? Great seeing the recurring character which is the desert. Painful cliffhanger! Impossible…

Thanks for posting this, Duder. Wow, Steve Albini is a precise speaker. There's no ambiguity in anything he says. It makes for slightly boring listening sometimes but I overall enjoyed hearing this podcast. Happy to hear that band had a blast (fo…

cookbook said: thoughts on the White home run down and gated up? Looks to me like Jesse has gone on a rampage in there. Plus, we're seeing that house at least 2 years after being vacated. Carole next door clearly thought Wal…

Moving through seasons 4 and 5 a few things have occurred to me: 1. Jerry is a Godawful actor. I can imagine it's hard keeping a straight face around the others, but still. He's just a total joke; his facial expressions and intonation are shot. …

Beautiful rekkid. He's so genius - it's unmistakably him, even without the voice. He has his own thing going on, in songwriting and production, and it hasn't really changed since the early 90s. Nor should it. Some great chord changes and ultra-ri…

The music is a bit tasteless when you notice it. I suspect you're not meant to. It's obviously intended to work in the background to reinforce the emotion. You're welcome. But it is schmalzy for sure. Wow though, a Don without booze? The next…

So much interesting information in this thread, thank you Thes and others. The point about the lack of 2 tape play heads and the use of a digital delay in the signal path is doing my head in

'The Cheever Letters' had me cracking up so bad last night. Jerry's attempt at talking dirty ("the panties your mother laid out for you?") and the gay letter itself. Crazy to think this was pre-watershed, primetime viewing. Elaine totally 0wned …

'The Red Dot', for Kramer doing a fictitious Hennigan's commercial. And 'The Letter', purely for Catherine Keener

Of course it's contentious to say Jazz Is Dead. It's certainly a heritage music when it appears in the mainstream but I'd say so is Rock and Hip Hop and classical music but that it's more to do with the narrow confines of populist taste than it is t…
