This Week's Link That's Probably Not That Great
The Best Kissers in the World - One of my favorite bands. I can't remember if I put this link up once already or not.

 

This Week's Movie You've Probably Never Seen
"The Simpsons" Season Two (2002)

After acquiring Season One of this sure to be never ending set of all sets, Season two had to be the next one. I'm still plowing through this bad boy.

This is the first set to feature an entire(full length) season, plus it comes with an array of bonus features that, while dated, are cool to check out.

And, this is the season where you can really see the characters start to come into their own.

And, Homer starts to sound like Homer should, which makes everything less distracting.

 

 

 

This Week's Record You're Probably Not Listening To
Frank Black and the Catholics - Show Me Your Tears (2003)

In between being in the Pixies, Frank Black had a solo career. Here's his last solo record, and it's pretty much on par with the ones before it.

That is to say, it's good, but not spectacular. That is also to say that I will listen to it regardless. They use their standard live to two track recording format, which I don't feel captures their best sound.

But maybe I'm a stickler.
