More like "new porn movie only available as a script". ... Action!

Given the example shown above, most moderately-skilled musicians could sight read that.

There's always room for a Sebadoh list.

The Built to Spill list would be a lot more fun to debate if they included the Treepeople and Halo Benders albums.

I'd hate to see a Flaming Lips list, just because I'd get depressed when the pre-Zaireeka albums inevitably get dismissed in favor of the post-Zaireeka albums. And there's only so much catharsis to be gained by flipping off a computer screen.

One would think. However, at the record store where I used to work, we had a lady write us a letter threatening to call the FBI on us because we had a huge Nevermind poster on the wall. We solved the problem with a post-it note. I wrote a letter back saying that, in the two years the poster had been on the wall, we never found anybody masturbating to it in the aisle, that she was the first person to view the poster in sexual terms and should probably seek therapy, but my manager wouldn't let me see me the return address. In retrospect, he probably did the right thing.

Jesus Hits is a phenomenal album -- one of my absolute favorites. The first thing I thought of when I saw this was how 40 billion copies of Bill and Firecracker are what earned TD a spot on this list, and how that made it so much harder to find Jesus Hits and the self-titled CD.

That would require: 1) Somebody actually buying a Kidz Bop CD, 2) having that person be so desperate for cash that they'd be willing to walk into a store carrying it. I don't think there's enough crack on the planet to make both those things happen.

As if I needed a list to hammer home that I'm the only person left who still loves Tripping Daisy and Veruca Salt.

I interpret the "60s/70s artists CDs from the 80s/90s/00s" as meaning basically "later albums from has-beens" -- I'm thinking later albums from McCartney, Bob Seger, Rod Stewart, etc.

"Rain on Tin" live is probably the closest I've come to a sound-induced orgasm.

"Until 2000′s Almost Famous (another Cameron Crowe-curated soundtrack, oddly), Led Zeppelin had famously never licensed one of their performances to a soundtrack." "Kashmir" in "Fast Times at Ridgemont High"? (Also written by Cameron Crowe.)

I think Preteen Zenith is the closest we'll get to Tripping Daisy, and with Berggren gone, I kind of think it's close enough. I do hope they'll pull out some TD songs when PZ tours though. Tool toured earlier this year.

Swervedriver, Chavez, and Juno. King Crimson's also due for a fourth act. I wish Caustic Resin was still making music.

I'm not sure whether or not Sonic Youth would qualify for this list, but I'd sure as hell like to know what's going on there. Soul Coughing would be a nice one to add just for the "oh HELL no" comedy (we're more likely to see a Nirvana reunion than a Soul Coughing reunion). Pavement's probably done for good. Juno, Chavez, Silkworm, XTC, the Postal Service, Slowdive, Jellyfish, and Belly would all be worth another look. Grant Lee Buffalo and the Dismemberment Plan have done small reunion tours; it'd be nice to see new material and bigger tours from both.

I think Built to Spill is aiming for a 2012 release.

Part Chimp is/has called it a day, but I don't remember if they set the date for this year or early next. Parts & Labor are definitely playing a few shows early next year.
