Some of the greatest writing and social/class satire ever committed to celluloid. “Didn’t know we had a king. I thought we were an autonomous collective. I didn’t vote for you.” I find new things to love and laugh at every time I watch this film. 👑 🇬🇧 PS: the old TV series episodes are, if anything, even funnier and more eclectic.

Utter classic. I can’t get sick of it.

a parody of python that’s so good it’s funnier than python- in other words, gay fanfiction (for all those python fans that aren’t homophobic) michael palin being the most charming man to ever live (stephen fry says so and I’d say he’s also fairly charming) and john cleese being a knob confirmed

"There's such a fine line between stupid and clever." This movie kind of covers all my ridiculous interests: music criticism, pop culture, the influence of Monty Python on everything else that came downstream, teenage boy humor. I don't know if it "defined" me but it certainly came along at a pretty pivotal point in the development of my sense of humor. Fun memory; my best friend and I saw this movie when it first came out in the theaters at a movie house in Eugene, OR where the rest of the audience didn't seem to understand that it was satire (I don't know how you could miss that, in retrospect). We were laughing hysterically (maybe stoned, too) and got the evil eye from a bunch of local heshers who seemed ready to give away their Judas Priest concert tees in exchange for a Spinal Tap version.

Hey tyler hopefully this doesn’t violate some PI.FYI golden rule But after nearly two years of writing, editing and arguing, my book about the EP is coming out in May and can be preordered here: https://hozacrecords.com/product/aifl/ The book is about the origins, history and cultural impact of the EP since these little objects first started coming out in the 50s. Over 50 of my music biz friends then helped me shape the list and review the top 200 ever released, according to us (ha). For those of you who are into this kind of geekery/snobbery, I can’t wait to hear what you think. A labor of love, as all books are! ❀

I will fail to explain just how much this band meant to me in the 90s. So I will borrow from AV Club who did a fine job of distilling it: “Unwound is the best band of the ’90s. Not just because of how prolific, consistent, and uncompromising it was, but because of how perfectly Unwound nested in a unique space between some of the most vital forms of music that decade: punk, post-rock, indie rock, post-hardcore, slow-core, and experimental noise. That jumble of subgenres doesn’t say much; in fact, it falls far short of what Unwound truly synthesized and stood for. Unwound stood for Unwound. But in a decade where most bands were either stridently earnest or stridently ironic, Unwound wasn’t stridently anything. It was only itself. In one sense Unwound was the quietest band of the ’90s, skulking around like a nerdy terror cell. In another sense it was the loudest, sculpting raw noise into contorted visions of inner turmoil and frustration.” R.I.P. Vern Rumsey. This is their finest song, from their finest album. I really can’t say enough about the sheer bloody minded genius of this group. đŸ–€
