YOU’RE THAT GREAT BIG FEELING

November 21, 2004 by Tim Riley

UPDATED 2004 LIST:

Dogs Die in Hot Cars PLEASE DESCRIBE YOURSELF (V2)

This guy sounds distractingly like XTC’s Andy Partridge, waiting for that association to drop away…


The Veils THE RUNAWAY FOUND (Rough Trade)

This guy sounds like a cross between Neil Diamond and Bono… but in a GOOD way.



AD OF THE YEAR (category: running series):

For revealing hidden meanings to the Kinks’s “Picture Book” (1968): this Hewlett-Packard series dazzles for reorienting your vantage on photos: are we all frozen moments in time, or are pictures continuously coming to life?


MUST-SEE-MAKEOVER (RM):

Danger Mouse: A Hard Day’s Mouse.



WHAT’S MY MOTIVATION? PART 366: ED WOOD

By Johnny Depp on the agonizing yet watchable Inside the Actor’s Studio (Bravo):his characterization of Wood mixed “the blind optimism of Ronald Reagan, the enthusiasm of the Tin Man from The Wizard of Oz, and … Casey Kasem.”



DROWNED BY HIS OWN TEARS:
