I probably should have done this first.
I'm Curtis; I'm approximately 21 years old. I think I first got into Scott Pilgrim because I stumbled upon the website somehow. My first crush was W.B. in grade 4. I'm trying to make a living as a musician an…
OK so my tastes are all over the place. I tried not to repeat anyone (God I wanted to include Pinkerton/ OK Comp pretty bad... OOPS I JUST DID)
Frank Zappa - the Yellow Shark
- released 1992, shortly before he died. It's really definitive because…
I thought of Princess Mononoke when I saw District 9 this evening (arm infection, anyone?). I like how they are incredibly different movies, but have the same plot device at their core.
All I was saying is that I thought picking a non GP song was amusing. I don't doubt your musical knowledge nor do I expect you to dedicate half of the books to the histories of the bands/musicians you reference.
This is the problem with the interne…
you're just being nitpicky! and i have a problem with nitpicky!

ahhh mystery solved. I didn't notice the chp 4 reference. d'oh.
Also I only own vols 1 and 5 at the moment.
Thank you for creating such a wonderful series. I started getting into it just this week. I really think it does voice the experience of a g…
chapter 4 is entitled "Ramona, come closer" so, uh...
also, the music selections in back of volume 3 clearly state that the Flying Burrito Bros' cover of "To Ramona" was one of the songs on my mix...
however, I can say that I didn't hear this song…
