While I still like this post, I think there was an snlelipg error close to the end of the fourth paragraph.

Comment on When the Star Talks Himself Blue: Ryan Adams at Strathmore, considered by Sandra

I thought Ryan’s “banter” made the night- maybe because of the parts that gave scathing commentary on concertgoers like the drunken bastard in front of me who kept requesting songs, or maybe because it’s the closest I’ll get to seeing Mitch Hedberg perform (for the record, DRA is a million times more Hedbergian than Oswaldish).

Nice, Klimek.
You sell this guy so well, I’ll probably get the album. And PAY for it, no less.

[...] that inspired his failed writing career, it’s something darker. The ending points the way toward Happy Days, a longer piece Beckett would debut three years later that seems to share much of Krapp’s [...]

Comment on Talk to the Hansard: Marketa Irglova at the 9:30 Club, reviewed. by Anon

I agree that Marketa’s singing is much better than her songwriting. But I disagree when you write that Glen’s solo songwriting is not as good as his collaborations with her. He’ll be putting out a solo record next year. I’ll be interested in seeing reviews for that. Though they won’t sway my opinion that he’s one of the best (singer)songwriters out there.

I was the one who left the voicemail on the Fly. You were the one with the more eloquent exegesis by far, though. Outstanding job guest hosting, and I hope to hear you on there more often.

The man does his homework! (Still can’t say I like his picks, though.)

Wonderful job as guest-host, sir. And you needn’t have been nervous: your velveteen voice, measured tones, droll humor, and cinephilia made it seem as though you had been doing it for years.

I love that you’ve expanded on your list. I especially like the comments on Insomnia. It’s a remake that in a lot of ways adds complexity to the original story, but at the same time tones some things down for a mainstream audience. I think it’s a good example of the Nolan sensibility though. A film can be mainstream and entertaining and not too offensive but still be complex and high minded.
