Which is the supposed origin of chicken and waffles. Jazz musicians in New York City finishing their gigs in the late night hours between dinner and breakfast would go to Wells Supper Club in Harlem and get a little bit of both.

Breakfast. Or dinner. I don't see the problem here.

Probably some obscure shit that I downloaded off of AudioGalaxy because it wasn't available on CD anywhere. Gun Glub comes to mind.

"Comedienne" is a rarely used but perfectly cromulent word.

You're better off. I had a DX7 for a little while. It was insanely complicated to program and I could never get it to do anything that didn't sound like 80s cheese.

I don't know, Bloodywood is a pretty fucking good name for an Indian metal band.

Ishtar is a great movie but it never had chance.

The production was plagued with problems and it went way over budget. It was getting trashed in the entertainment press daily before it was even completed. Making fun of it turned into meme. It was a running gag on Johnny Carson.

Eventually, things got so bad with the production that even the studio execs were talking shit about it to the press. They hated director Elaine May and wanted to tank her movie and her career. They got her blackballed, the film bombed and Ishtar got the reputation as one of the worst movies ever made despite the fact that nobody even bothered to see it.

Watch it. It's a lot of fun.

MTV had that song on repeat every hour. I got so sick of it.

That didn't stop me from going to see them. It was my first real concert, aged 12. My big brother took me.

Call Me is mine too!

I was really young when it came out so I don't have specific memories of listening to it but a few years later I heard it and it triggered something in my subconscious. "Oh yeah, I think this song is my favorite!"

The same thing happened to me in Spain. It wasn't until I used a friends bidet attachment that I was convinced. It was much easier to control.
