The relative obscurity of Mystery Achievement simply highlights the genius of that entire Pretenders album. I say relative obscurity based upon how the fat, bloated, drug-addled, viagra-fueled-Dominican-ho/boy-loving, turd called Rush Limbaugh monopolized a later Pretender’s song as the theme song for his worthless, reprehensible, immoral radio program. Believe me, you can trust me to report the truth. Because freedom.

Second that on Coriolanius. More proof, if any is needed, that Will is timeless.

Does the refined bacterial orchestration of Yoplait count?

I apologize for my ignorance, but I’m not sure I understand the random tenish thing. Is it just about throwing up ten tunes that we particularly dig?

I do understand that photo of Shakira’s ass, however. Just…like…Shake it but don’t break it. Damn!

the theory of Random 10 is to go to your iPod/iTunes/Whatever player, click on the “refresh” when in DJ/Random play mode and then list the first 10 songs displayed in order – the random part of the random 10. This way you get to show off/cry/be embarrassed by the tunes you listen to and have on your machine

Golly, Tim Tebow’s random 10 is probably gosh darn terrific…

Poison Heart – Ramones – Mondo Bizarro

Bonus to cheer us up after Paulie’s goop deeply moving, emotional expression, just listen to the guitar and disregard the title:
Lonesome and a Long Way from Home — Jerry Garcia Band (3/18/78)

Coriolanus is fantastic. In my annual film roundup, I ranked it one of the top four films of 2011 (it had a criminally limited release).

Wahooie! Songs! Randomness! Booty!

1: Warm Sporran – Jethro Tull
2: Look After You – The Fray
3: Blood Brothers – Bruce Springsteen
4: Territories – Rush
5: All Tomorrow’s Parties – The Velvet Underground
6: Cavity Search – Weird Al Yankovic
7: Dippermouth Blues – King Oliver
8 Wasteland – Augustana
9: Strange -R.E.M.
10: Tamacun – Rodrigo y Gabriela
And a celebratory bonus: Poor Poor Pitiful Me – Warren Zevon

Fuck and Run – Liz Phair
I Hate Music – The Replacements
Walk – Pantera
I Will Dare – The Replacements
Girlfriend – Matthew Sweet
Chicks Dig Jerks – Bill Hicks
Blitzkrieg Bop – Ramones
Orgasm Addict – Buzzcocks
Drink – Broken Heroes
Alex Chilton – The Replacements

Wow, all killer, no filler. 3 Mats songs? I swear I didn’t cheat.

And one more because it’s been so long:
I Wanna Be Sedated – Ramones

No cheating, I swear!

Oh shit:

Tebow has trademarked Tebowing.

Better trademark Tbogging which is the act of laughing maniacally while typing.

Scandalous – Miss Teeq
Imma Bitch – Jeremy Amelin
Mercy – Duffy
Sweet Disposition – Temper Trap
Personal Jesus – Gravity Kills
99 Luftballons – Nena
Drips – Se7en
Wuthering Heights – Kate Bush
Chase This Light – Jimmy Eat World
Cut Me Out – MNDR2011

(Bonus – maybe, depending on your taste and point of view)
I Try – Macy Gray

Damn! I killed the thread again.

The limited release really hurt it; I don’t get that strategy but Coriolanus is the film Shakespeare would have made if he were alive today.

Who was the only top critic who gave it a bad review? If I said Kyle Smith of the NY Post was one of the “top” critics, would that help? Jeeebus, what a schmuck.

Great film, period.

“Cinema Show” – Genesis
“Fluff” – Black Sabbath
“At the End of the Day” – Spock’s Beard
“Empire” – Queensryche
“Domination” – Symphony X
“Barbary Coast” – Weather Report
“Can You Hear Me?” – Renaissance
“Take Me As I Am” – October Project
“She’s a Woman” – Jeff Beck
“Reelin’ in the Years” – Steely Dan

Mr. Blue Sky – ELO
Bat Out Of Hell – Meatloaf
Black Friday – Steely Dan
Road to Nowhere – Talking Heads
Them There Eyes – Ella Fitzgerald
The Ties That Bind – Bruce Springsteen
Swan Lake Suite – Tchaikovsky, Royal Philharmonic
Jezebel – Joan Jett
Penny Lane – The Beatles
Bad to the Bone – George Thorogood & The Destroyers

Also, I’ll look at Coriolanus if it ever comes to my dingy little corner of flyover country (how can an action flick that ends in “anus” be all bad?), but I’m not necessarily encouraged by Gerald Butler’s presence–the preview screen for your embedded trailer has Butler looking as if someone at his local Whole Foods has just told him that they’re out of fresh pesto. But Ralph Twisleton Wykeham Fiennes, who sometimes seems as if he’s just marking time until his OBE, looks even more badass than he does as Voldemort, so I’ll have a shufti if I can.
