I KNOW I'M SHOUTING / I LIKE TO SHOUT

Here are some helpful things to shout at the end of "Dora the Explorer" episodes, when she asks what your favorite part was. Quizzical looks from your children 50% guaranteed!

Now then...to get you in the spirit...what was your favorite part?

• The part where Sonny gets whacked at the tollbooth!
• The part where the Nazis open the Ark and totally melt and stuff
• The part where the centurion gives Brian lessons in Latin
• Phoebe Cates in the red bikini
• The part where the music stops and Peter says "A flower?"
• John Henry Bonham...Moby Dick!

Your contributions, as always, are welcome.

ODDS OF A FULL-ON GENESIS REUNION: 23.5 PERCENT

It may be the first piece in the history of Rolling Stone magazine that wasn't a snide slap at the guys. Mike Rutherford:

The thought was [that] maybe, since the Lamb is about a young Puerto Rican kid and Peter is an old English man, it would be harder to portray him.

Well, yes, there is that.

(pleaseohpleaseohpleaseohpuhLEEEZE do a tour with Pete and Steve...)

UPDATE: Pete says maybe one day it'll happen.

TWO MORE HOUSEHOLD HOLIDAYS

Happy birthday this week to Steve Hackett:



And Peter Gabriel:



Now get on the horn with the rest of the band and set up a tour already.

PETER GABRIEL: MUSICAL GENIUS, WORLD STATESMAN, CRAPPY SKIER

Peter, you klutz:

Peter Gabriel is recovering after breaking his left leg while skiing in Switzerland.

...

"I hit a rock and I could feel a loud snap as I broke my leg, and then I skied down to the piste, which was a bit stupid."

While laid up, Peter received a package from his old mates in Genesis. It was a fruit basket. And a set list and rehearsal schedule for the 2009 tour. (A man can hope, yes?)
