Lifter Puller was Craig Finn's band before The Hold Steady.

Just thought you should know.

Cline:

I have to know so here we go...

1) Fav movie
2) Fav musician
3) Fav book

Here are my guesses

1) Clockwork Orange
2) Tom Waits
3) Another Roadside Attraction

Cline said...

So hard to choose just one. Your guesses are not terrible, though I've only seen the first half of CO and have not read ARA.

1. Pulp Fiction (though Little Giants is a close 2nd).

2. Ugh. I guess I can narrow it down to 3:

2a. Sleater-Kinney
2b. Marah
2c. Drive-By Truckers

3. Either "About A Boy" (Nick Hornby) or "Fierce Invalids Home From Hot Climates (Tom Robbins).

Shameless Plug Department: My friend and I operate a blog/podcast conglomeration called The Popcorn Trick if you're interested in more of my pop culture opinions.

Tad: Death shrouds

Danny O'Shea: They've got your names on the back.
Jake Berman: So the guys at the morgue can identify the bodies.

Cline, you're missing ".com" in your link.

Whoops.

The Popcorn Trick

Timothy G said...

Anyone want to book swap?

I've got a whole box of Tom Robbins books, somewhere.

Charles said...

Steph,
Two of our coaches are PHDs. Holla!

Charles said...

Cline: Is there a way to subscribe outside of iTunes, like on feedburner or something?

Charles said...

OK, found it. http://feeds.feedburner.com/ThePopcornTrick

You should put a link to that on your site.

Mike S said...

Cline, I just stumbled onto to your "80iest" MTV video list on The Popcorn Trick, and it got me thinking ... here's a few that come to mind for me:

Wall of Voodoo - Mexican Radio
INXS - The One Thing
Bryan Adams - Cuts Like a Knife

Thought I'd be at the 6:30 right now, but SEPTA had other plans for me ... stranded in Bryn Mawr waiting for a ride ... which lead me to Starbucks and The Popcorn Trick.

my brother from another motha!

i am a HUGE SK fan. after pearl jam, i have seen SK the most live at 13 times and i have taped a few of their shows.

the woods, in my opinion, was by far their best album and then they decided to call in quits. i am still a huge fan of corin and the corin tucker band is pretty great too. i will see them live this summer.

at least i got tom robbins right. cant blame me for that and tarentino just wants to be kubrick so i am giving myself credit for that as well.

i am stoked that you like sk. that fires me up!!!

Shoeless, beaaast

Lindsey said...

I was left off the list. My sumo was 205 and I was working on kipping pull-ups and got my first ones with the "blue" (but it's really black) band : ).

Cline said...

Jasaimee,

Gun to my head, I think I'd go with Dig Me Out since it's just such a perfect tightly-wound coil of an album.

But The Woods was an ambitiously successful veering off for them. I saw one of their last shows at the Starlight and they most certainly left at the top of their game.

If, I'm sorry, I mean WHEN they get back together, I see myself taking a few days off and following them around till the restraining order kicks in.

For now, I'll have to make do with their various side projects.

Really dug Quasi's last album (American Gong) and their Johnny Brenda's show last year.

I take it you didn't see The Corin Tucker Band when they played the FU Church last year? She pulled off the not-easy trick of transferring the S-K spirit into something that can proudly stand on its own. I wrote a bit about their stellar performance(s) which came in the midst of an epic, borderline historic run of shows.

Am looking forward to Wild Flag (Janet, Carrie + others) @JB's in March, though I haven't heard any of their stuff yet.

Cline said...

@Mike S. - Good choices, though I wasn't really an INXS fan until after Kick (one of the first cassettes I bought).

The other 2 are great examples of a weird, almost-novelty One-Hit Wonder and the pretentious twist ending that a lot of those videos had.

Thanks for reading!

Couldn't make the Friday WOD or party.

Am curious to see who won the various Challenge Levels (besides everyone's health, that is).
