  3. Good piece - Remembering Leonard Nimoy’s Mr. Spock, One of History’s Greatest TV Characters http://www.vulture.com/2015/02/remembering-leonard-nimoys-mr-spock.html?mid=twitter_nymag "The show's affinity for Shakespearean flourishes is well-documented, but in in a sense, Spock himself might be the most Bard-like character of them all: He's a green-blooded Othello who has to be twice as good as the full-blooded human officers to earn their respect, and who must tamp down his natural passions despite constant racist needling and doubts about his loyalty."
  4. Yep and thanks for the suggestion.
  5. HD800s treble issue a feature? (skip to 12 minutes)
  6. Don't forget the master of disguise 'Great Paris' from Mission: Impossible!
  7. Yutaka Katayama, Father of the Datsun/Nissan ‘Z,’ Dies at 105 http://www.nytimes.com/2015/02/25/business/yutaka-katayama-father-of-the-datsun-z-dies-at-105.html?mwrsm=Email "Perhaps the greatest boost Mr. Katayama gave the 240Z was its very name, which Nissan had intended only as a working model number. In the late 1960s, when the car was first introduced in Japan, a Nissan executive, enamored of a certain Lerner and Loewe musical, named it the Fairlady Z. When the first shipment of Fairlady Zs arrived in the United States, Mr. Katayama, judging the sobriquet horrifyingly effete for the American market, stripped the nameplate off each car with his own hands."
  8. Modern Family's Connection Lost episode. Pretty fun.

  10. Checking out Wussy. "In which the best band in America remains the best song band in America while passing the Sonic Youth consortium on the outside to become the best distorto-guitar band in America, and although the competition in both categories has thinned out, how many ever dared combine it? Television? Nirvana? The Thompson Couple? That is the territory here. What once seemed the overkill of replacing minimalist Dawn Burman with muscleman Joe Klug opened a thruway to the big beat. What once seemed the neighborly gesture of taking in Ass Ponys steel hand John Erhardt powered sonic dimensions arena-rock dumbos risk tinnitus to achieve with Marshall stacks. The lyrics mix heroic feats of individual transcendence with a romantic striving vexed equally by economics and psychology as the melodies flow on unabated. Gender parity also guaranteed. A PLUS" - R. Christgau
  11. Happy Prostate Exam.

    "... Reed's anger only proved that Christgau's grades did matter: He's not a part of the industry, he's not currying anybody's favor, and he's disdainful of hype. When it comes down to it, who do you trust to tell you the truth about a new album? The label? The artist? Or the cranky dude who has made it his mission to be purely, aggressively honest about everything he's ever listened to for almost half a century?" http://theconcourse.deadspin.com/almost-famous-the-b-adventures-of-robert-christgau-1687452336
  13. I dug its look, until I saw a closeup.
  14. Are they annoying 'cause they're so selfish or other? If selfishness, not sure that changes much across the season, but your sympathies towards that selfishness may. Certainly the writers working with it gets more interesting. Brain probably led the heart on this one, but the heart gets there.
