i thought it was funnier last year (or was it the year before?) whatever year it was that they reviewed 'mc skat kat's greatest hits' or whatever

the danny wood, ray stevens, and solo album set are great.

also the 2pac one.

i think they were dead wrong to go all nasty on the a*teens last year, and actually the line-change they ref is sorta brilliant deadpan when you think about it.

From The Thorns' appealing new acoustic bonus session to the sumptuous cavalcade of extras on The Flaming Lips' expanded edition of Yoshimi Battles The Pink Robots, it's nice to get extra material when the album itself warrants it. But in an era when the music industry is looking to reward fans loyal enough to pay for music they might otherwise get for free, expecting them to buy the same records twice within a year or two isn't exactly providing an incentive. As for Chumbawamba's Readymades And Then Some, it's actually a pretty good album—the bonus DVD's Flaming Lips remix of "Tubthumping" is especially worthy -

this feels like it was written by a character out of an onion story proper, really

the absolute funniest thing about this feature is being given the option to buy these albums in blue hypertext.

I didn't notice that before! That's brilliant.

I didn't know Chuck Barris wrote "Pallisades Park"! The Gong Show was one of the funniest things ever on TV, who cares if his album sucks. AND he was a CIA hitman. Or not. Genius!

has Chuck Eddy read this yet? He's gonna get peeved about the Stabbing Westward dis!

I think that was two years ago, Geeta. I actually saw the WORLD PREMIERE of the MC Skat Cat video on MTV way back when!

― Anthony Miccio (Anthony Miccio), Thursday, 11 December 2003 00:58 (twenty-two years ago)

dude i think i saw that too!

― geeta (geeta), Thursday, 11 December 2003 01:01 (twenty-two years ago)

haha I remember being astounded that they brought him back a couple years after the "Opposite Attracts" video. I guess he was pulling a Kevin Shields or something.

― Anthony Miccio (Anthony Miccio), Thursday, 11 December 2003 01:02 (twenty-two years ago)

Perhaps he's still been working on his sophomore release all this time.

― Anthony Miccio (Anthony Miccio), Thursday, 11 December 2003 01:02 (twenty-two years ago)

oh boo I liked Johnny Marr's album!

― teeny (teeny), Thursday, 11 December 2003 01:07 (twenty-two years ago)

I think you were the one person who did.

― Ned Raggett (Ned), Thursday, 11 December 2003 03:55 (twenty-two years ago)

Uncut liked it! Kind of.

― adam (adam), Thursday, 11 December 2003 07:15 (twenty-two years ago)

I heard that Skat Cat
got shot nine times and survived
His next album's DOPE

― Haikunym (Haikunym), Thursday, 11 December 2003 07:19 (twenty-two years ago)

or, even better, a collaboration with Dope.

― M Matos (M Matos), Thursday, 11 December 2003 09:19 (twenty-two years ago)

well it didn't change my life, but the marr album was pleasant enough, and "Down On The Corner" was quite nice.

I did encourage a record label to sign Russell Crowe, though, MWAHAHAHAHAHA.
