Watched The Holdovers today, a very good film... but what on earth did they give her the Academy award for best supporting actress for? She was perfectly fine, but that was not an Oscar-winning role...

Cancer. Announced last fall, with all shows rescheduled (and now, sadly, cancelled altogether).
Same here, except remove the word 'almost'. I can't believe anyone in this day and age would waste their precious, dwindling time watching commercials. This comes in particularly handy with a show...
Pete had a triple heart bypass.
My wife and I discovered a British comedy 'Miranda' which we hadn't heard of, it's about 12-15 years old now. We have been crying with laughter. The main woman in it is absolutely hilarious in a...

I need to catch up as well, but I'm running out of time. I want to squeeze in The Holdovers and hopefully Oppenheimer before Sunday night. I did recently watch Maestro and I thought Bradley Cooper...
The Geddy & Alex evening is now on YouTube officially on the CBC channel:

I'm not expecting every interviewer to be an expert, but there is middle ground too. Is even five minutes of preparation too much to ask? I've interviewed musicians whose careers I am not terribly...
Margaery Tyrell for me please.
I've noticed over the past several years that supposedly reputable online news media now quote random social media posts to pad their weak-as-water articles:
'I don't see what the fuss is all...
My favourite of everything he's ever done. My CD is the original release credited just to him, before he tacked on the Gungfly moniker for the reissue.
'Were you part of the lineup for Owner of a Lonely Heart?'
'So who is in the band now?'
'Did you help Jon with lyrics like mountains coming out of a lake?'
Great prep there, guys.
This is the first of my 52 winters where there was not one pile of snow to be seen in the corner of a parking lot anywhere in town. Ploughs simply weren't required this year because we never had more...
Yes, Somewhere in London is my favourite of their live releases. It's just a great show overall IMO. Enjoy, and enjoy the Dominican! :cool
^^ Intriguing! :cool
I really like Melanie Lynskey, but I agree she was not the right choice for that role.
No matter who the artist is, I am never, ever going to like seeing backing vocalists doing that swaying/finger snapping/dancing-in-unison thing. I realize they probably need to do something or else...
R.I.P. to a very funny man who often had me in stitches.
I got all 12 right, but 2 of those were educated guesses rather than knowing for sure (broken ankle song and which W&W song was based on that book). I was surprised that guy missed the one that he...
I watched it last night and I liked it quite a bit but I do agree with most of your points. It has its flaws, and disappears up its own arty backside at times. But I'd still recommend it to people...
On your list.
I have all of those and love them. Many more I would add, of course, as a lot of us Italian prog fans would... but I'll just go with one title for now that deserves more attention:
Luciano Basso -...
I enjoyed those 1999 and later shows more than I expected to; it's quite a nice set overall, even if it is a bit scattered time-wise.
They are allowed to, as you can see. Nobody here is stopping them simply by offering their own views on what's being presented to them.
Hey, I appreciate the opportunity to pass on it twice in less than a year.
:bad
He was born the year Tull put out Roots to Branches. :rofl
AI.
'Who'd notice one more madman around here?'
Yeah I've seen some pretty over-the-top reviews for this one, with more hyperbole than usual. I mean, we all know the usual suspects who give everything an automatic 8.5 to 9.5 out of 10, as though...
Netflix.
I watched a film called Maggie Moore(s) starring Jon Hamm and Tina Fey (together again after 30 Rock) in a semi-comedy but mostly thriller directed by Jon's old Mad Men co-star John Slattery. Decent,...
I played Cardiacs on my debut radio show last Saturday. Okay, so it was Stoneage Dinosaurs, the 'entry-level' Cardiacs song, but I had to ease them in gently LOL! It's a broad show and range of...
Over the last decade or so, whenever I've handed cash to a cashier, I see them kind of pause for a moment while they try to compute this unexpected turn of events. Usually they've already proceeded...
Ian has guested on plenty of recordings. One that was a big deal around these parts back when I started high school was this one:

Rumour has it that they are - but TWIST! It's Ian doing them.
According to this new interview with Ian (the Opeth mention is around the 5:20 mark) :
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=AosyMaJxovs
He says he played on 'Three or four' songs just last week....
I haven't heard Jinjer, but I'd have to think Arch Enemy is a more well known band with a petite growling frontwoman (they've had two, actually). They've been at it for almost 30 years now with...
Yeah, Sharp Objects was great, and has what too many series lack nowadays: a strong ending.
John Grant - Queen of Denmark (can't stop listening to this one lately.)
My favourite is What We Have Sown, a few years after Variations on a Dream. Try that one if you haven't heard it, and see what you think.
From their official site:
It is with great sadness that we have to announce the passing of our wonderful friend Damo Suzuki, yesterday, Friday 9th February 2024.
His boundless creative energy...
Nail that man's foot to the deck!

Me too!
Thanks Jed. I prefer this one to the last two albums, which my little quip about recent 'staleness' was meant to allude to (nicely).
Ahhh okay. BTW Steve's post does say Reservoir Dogs, that's what I noticed too.
:O What?! There's a TV series? How did I not know this?
My review of the new album is up! :cool

Being that DT are not exactly world renowned for their subtlety, I'd wager that point at least is a non-issue. ;)
Sad news from Steve Morse:
Yesterday, February 4, at 2:40pm, I said my last goodbye to my beloved wife, Janine. We had been in a period of remission which lasted not nearly long enough. But...
It's been repeated so often now that it is a cliché, but what the band truly needs the most is a proper producer. Someone to say to Petrucci 'No. You need to trim that 3 extra minutes of scale runs...
It definitely wouldn't hurt in any way. If you want to be current, by all means watch season 5 next! :cool But for what it's worth, I liked it a lot but not as much as seasons 2 & 3.
If you're going to watch them all, I'd just watch them in order so you don't have to bother keeping track. But no, it doesn't really matter IMO.
Yep. Pretty unbelievable, really. And remember a few years back when that video emerged of Aerosmith drummer Joey Kramer showing up for rehearsal and being told by security that he wasn't allowed in?
Completely agreed. It's become the go-to word to describe anything that isn't effusive praise or adulation.
There are pills for that, you know.
It is now a longer period of time since Clockwork Angels was released than the run of albums from the debut until Power Windows.
Some perspective to make you feel even older.
