There's a lady plays her fav'rite records/On the jukebox ev'ry day/All day long she plays the same old songs/And she believes the things that they say/She sings along with all the saddest songs/And she believes the stories are real/She lets the music dictate the way that she feels.
Not really a music post, but it seems more relevant here than in Movies.
I made myself a White Russian tonight. Why? Who can say. I had the ingredients. And then I looked down at my slovenly underemployed attire, and considered my longish past my collar hair and the goatee and realized....I'm turning into The Dude.
So does everybody in the music thread have a favorite Coen Brothers movie? And if not, why?
ION, we got the complete 13 ep series DVDs for the show Action with Jay Mohr and Illeana Douglas.
It rocks. Recommended for fans of Arrested Development and Newsradio.
I just checked that out from Netflix a couple weeks ago. I managed to catch some episodes while the series was on the air (and was a fan), but watching it again after all this time made me think "Wow. They got away with this on network TV?"

Hey, I just picked that up myself (or received it - I pre-ordered two copies; one for me and one for a friend who loved the show during its brief run) Haven't gotten around to starting in on them (finishing up ALIAS and then got side-tracked by the ROBOT CHICKEN commentary tracks), but I can't wait. It's like the PROFIT of comedies.
As for favorite Coen brothers, I love LEBOWSKI, and it gets funnier every time I watch it, but I'd have to say MILLER'S CROSSING gets my nod as favorite. Easily as quotable THE BIG L, and it has some real gravitas to it.
I don't have a link for a track download -- jon b must be the one.

I hereby 100% approve of your journey to Dudeitude because my favorite Coen Bros movie is certainly The Big Lebowski. Followed by Fargo and The Man Who Wasn't There.
My parents were in town this weekend, and I tried to get them to watch Miller's Crossing. They thought it was a "downer."
I wish I could be more excited about the Sufjan disc, but I don't want leftovers from Illinois. I thought it was a tad too full of extras as it was. I'm sure there will be good stuff on it - but I feel no need to run out and buy it.

Not me. In SA's post SA "Buffista Music III: The Search for Bach" Apr 11, 2006 2:26:01 pm PDT she claimed that her link led to a download, but it doesn't seem to.

I agree.
I'm with Frank, too, although under the right circumstances, Lebowski can replace Miller's Crossing as my favorite Coen Bros flick.
Miller's Crossing, I guess.

Yeah, that was a great, undernoticed show. Makes up for a lot of the things Jay Mohr has done.
I caught a few episodes when it was on TV, but I don't remember what I thought about them at the time.
