Do I hear the warmth of vinyl in this Carly record?

Holy sh!t!  OMGWTFBOS of the week to Carly Simon, "That's the Way I've Always Heard It Should Be."  Greatest ennui of set!

This woman is the Old Maid to end all Old Maids, no? Her friends from college have kids who are old enough to "hate them for the things they're not" -- but she still lives with mom.  babe, if you haven't learned to be "just me first, by myself" by now, you ain't never gonna...

it often shows up on lists of "worst Best Pic Oscar nominees ever" and I can think of worse movies to get Oscar love.


Maybe we should move this to the Movie Thread, but I'm very interested in the other films you'd put on such a list, as this conversation was making me start to compile my own.  And of course 'tis the season for such discourse.

Dave wins the Circular Logic of the Month award: 'Divided' is such a divisive word.

can't believe he really said that.

so has Dave dropped any hints this morning?

Given the tone of most of the verses he posted on his blog, I'm guessing it'll be something along the lines of "love stinks" "or "you done me wrong" (or maybe "I'll be glad when you're dead you rascal you").


So I'm only partially right--it's "Valentine's Day: Opposing Viewpoints."

or, as Dave put it around 7:30, it's "Love, ahhh...." vs. "Love, grrrr...."
Hope we get Nilsson's "You're Breakin' My Heart"

It could happen. It's been in at least two VD sets previously (including last year's).

Well, there's still hope for Annalisa to play it--ya think?

Btw, who was you were thinking of that Ellen Foley was married to? I don't think she actually married Mick Jones. And the wikipedia entry I read said she's now married to a writer named Doug Bernstein, who I'm not familiar with.

During the play of Meatloaf'sParadise it first popped in my head that she was married to Robby Benson, but he married Karla DeVito, who played the girl in the Paradise video, while Ellen Foley did the singing!

I always lump Ellen Foley together with Ellen Shipley and Karla DeVito (DeVito toured with MeatLoaf and did that "Paradise" part in the show, and was/is married to Robby Benson).
