* Letting Perez Hilton know that not only is TWAT not the single, least of all the old school TWAT demo he's linked off of YouTube, but that it in fact rocks anyway. It must be a charmed life to be a fat, talentless loser who spends his time tearing down the creative works of others while hiding behind a created online persona to alleviate the pain of being "the fat queen" in high school.

I actually listened to modern rock radio (!) this morning, but wit no luck. Now that I've got this radio rip, I can end that bad obsession. Still, it'd be cool to catch new Guns on the radio, but I don't know if soon's the word.

The Orphanage was directed by J.A. Bayona, not Guillermo del Toro. Del Toro was only a producer or "presenter." Tarantino often takes on the role of presenter for some of his friends' less-than-stellar efforts. It's also a way to use your clought to get a movie you like better distribution/promotion. What's all this mean? It's artistically meaningless. I'm sorry to use your post to set an example, but there seems to be a lot of confusion as to what exactly constitutes a director and that role plays in the ownership of a finished film. As a filmmaker myself, it's discouraging to hear things like "I was really disappointed in Tarantino after his last movie, 'Hostel.'" 'Nuff said. Del Toro's a visionary. The Orphanage is moderately clever.

No remixing. No remastering. While a higher quality product is one thing, these are pretty much perfect as is. Re-release them all in new vinyl packages like Metallica did with their "trilogy" right before Death Magnetic. This is gimmicky as all hell, but I know I'll be buying them. See, I can admit my faults. I hope they release these in digipaks at the very least, to replicate that old school feel. The jewel case is so played out.
