James likes this video. Not as much as TMBG’s Never Go to Work, but nothing’s that good.

Liz Phair – Polyester Bride

The only Liz Phair album one is apparently allowed to have as their favorite is “Exile in Guyville,” but for me, it’s 1998’s “whitechocolatespaceegg,” with its trippy soundscapes and frank talk about more adult relationships. This song, the big single off the album, is one of my favorite tracks.

REM – Furry Happy Monsters

REM redeem their inexplicably goofy single. Note the Kate Pierson Muppet.

Watching Michael Stipe telling the monsters to be happy again, it occurs to me that if Stipe would put on some muscle, regrow his hair and dress muy macho, he’d look just like Chris Metzen. Weird.
