Gome of the Week
Phish broke up for real this time.

Can I groundscore some tears?

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

This Week's Link That's Probably Not That Great
Toast Recipes - For the clueless gourmet.

 

 

This Week's Movie You've Probably Never Seen
Dear America: Letters Home From Vietnam (1987)

An HBO documentary that features footage and pictures of the Vietnam War interspersed with letters, written home from soldiers, read by some famous folks.

The readers include Robert DeNiro, Sean Penn, Michael J. Fox, and a ton of others.

Not the most heart warming film, but apparently war isn't that much fun.

Well made flick, though.

 

 

 

 

 

 

This Week's Record You're Probably Not Listening To
Naughty By Nature - Poverty's Paradise (1995)

Straight out of Illtown comes your favorite Cruddy Click.

This is the follow-up to one of the best hip hop albums of the 90's, Nineteen Naughty III, which is a tough act to follow. They do a pretty good job, though. The beats aren't as solid and there's a skit featuring Chris Webber that probably didn't need to be there. And where's Bumpy Knuckles?

Otherwise, solid.
