My favorite bit about "Frampton Comes Alive" is how they mixed in the crowd sound. Listening to it, you'd swear it was in some 20,000 seat arena. But it was actually recorded primarily at Winterland in San Francisco, which only holds 5,500 people.

@Stepchild, I believe the narration in "Blast of Silence" is in the _second_ person, as in "You're alone. But you don't mind that. You're a loner. That's the way it should be. You've always been alone. By now it's your trademark. You like it that way." The narration is by Lionel Stander, in many great comedies from the 1930's before he was blacklisted. He came back to be on "Hart to Hart" in the 1970s and 80s.

I used to talk smack about Sinatra - Rawk Hater - White Jazz - Square generation. Love him now of course...He was before my time so I didn't get it yet. Came to mock but stayed to pray: made fun of Crooning - realized that was because it had 'got inside' me...So younger age groups may well be about The Beatles (like people in British Comedy have made a point of being Not Monty Python for some time now...)

saw the pogues at the first "guinness flead" (sp?) so it was kinda ironic that Shane wasn't there.

Scott, I still get a thrill every week when I hear Giant Man too. I can't believe such a seemingly serious character as Fabio was flicking you in the art house theater, and during such a perfect film as Mulholland Drive, no less! He definitely owes you something in my book...
