I have indeed seen all three seasons of "Frsbyldyforlsdlcyn," the Danish series the "Killing" is based on. It is indeed superb, particularly the main character played by <Sophie Grabol>. Did you notice that <Sophie Grabol> makes a cameo appearance in one of the episodes of the US version of "The Killing"? I have also been watching <Penny Dreadful>, which gets full points for cinematography and bizarre content, but is badly in need of a "story editor." |

Great track, thank you- and here is another track written by <David Bowie>, but covered by Nirvana on their great DVD "Live and Loud": http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BNg2...
I know you don't require the Spanish subs, but I thought I'd include them as a tribute to the fine kingdom of Puerto Rico. |

That's a good choice then, because Toronto is as generic as a big "24 pack" of Kraft Velveeta Cheese Slices. It even looks like a pack of cheese slices wrapped in plastic. I think they should cover Toronto in a giant bag and let it compost. |

Thanks so much for that BRILLIANT article comparing the search engines. |

I missed the Danish series so much. <but is badly in need of a "story editor."> Feasting on Eva Green's mysticism washes all the flaws of the show. |

Yes Eva Green is phenomenal, agreed.
I read an interview with <Sophie Grabol> in which she insisted that her character could "beat up" Wallander. heh |

Aha! http://www.straightdope.com/columns... Well done. It appears that you have corroborated <OhioPompatusFan's> account, almost word for word: <OhioChessFan: The first time I heard the song, I was like, "Dude, did he say "pompatus"?" I heard or read a discussion some years ago that the line was lifted straight from another old blues song and that the word was a sort of madeup word that fit the metter.> I'm afraid <Ohio> wins the burrito this go round, because he was able to pull the answer right out of his head. |

I'm going to use Eurospeak now because they talk funny. Carlsen made hay while the sun shines and his fanboys were over the moon, full stop. |

Wilco, from <Mobile Alabama>! I believe that's close to <Ohio's> house? It's been a long while since I looked at a map of the Excited States. http://youtu.be/7I79m7_kAnA
What a great track. Are they really popular? Do they have a giant audience? I'm no U2 hater that's for sure, but it seems to me that <Wilco> is a better band. Maybe better than any band except The Beatles and Genesis. heh Full of soul and interesting lyrics. |

ZZ Top with a love song!
I like this quite a bit, and also from the deep south. Are you having a "Deep South" special this week? Hmm I'm not sure where ZZ Top are from actually.
QUESTION: Why doesn't the middle guy have a long beard? Maybe he couldn't afford one. Here is my "musical reply" to your thank you:
Thank you Travis, from me and <Woody> and <Bob>: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tlm1... |
