Former accountant turned stand-up comic Bob Newhart was something of an oddity on the comedy club circuit in the early '60s. His thinning scalp and trim, neat appearance belied a sharp wit and particularly askew take on the vagaries of existence. His stand-up routines usually took the form of omniscient monologues, sometimes from the receiving end of a phone conversation (a Newhart trademark), and the often hilarious commentary gave new meaning to what would eventually be known as a "talking head"
THE BUTTON DOWN MIND STRIKES BACK!, Newhart's second LP, contains some of his finest skits. In "Bus Drivers School," he plays an instructor demonstrating technique. "A Private in Washington's Army" recounts General George's numerous escapades ("You know that dollar over the Potomac? He kept us up to three in the morning looking for the damn thing"). The wonderful "Retirement Party" visits his haunts of old-with perfectly sidesplitting results. Pick this one up on a rainy afternoon, and button down with Bob for some hilarious and accountable repartee.

The title refers to the night when three men, Randy (Matt Dillon), his cousin Carl (Paul Reiser) and Detective Dehling (John Goodman), all meet Jewel Valentine (Liv Tyler) at a bar called McCool's. Actually, they don't so much meet her as fall under her spell when they first lay eyes on her. In her clinging red dress she looks like a cross between a beautiful damsel in distress and the Lady In Red looking for John Dillinger. The story begins with Randy, desperate to be rid of Jewel, hiring a sleazy hitman, played by Michael Douglas in an outré toupee. His story of how Jewel led him to ruin, filmed in a stylized ...

Blake Edwards's return to the male-in-meltdown territory he explored in 10 and THAT'S LIFE stars John Ritter as unemployed writer Zach, who is not only suffering from writer's block, but his drinking is out of control, as is his obsessive womanizing, and, not surprisingly, his wife wants to end their marriage. To add to his problems, his house has just burned down, and his agent is knocking at death's door. But since this is a Blake Edwards comedy, Zach has enough charm and relative affluence to continue his pursuits, which the director regards with a bemused deatchment. One of his girlfriends ...
| | Grateful Dead Anthem Of The Sun CD (1968)
Button-Down Mind Strikes Back music CDs
 $11.19
Contains the hidden track "Born Cross Eyed" which follows "Feedback."
Originally released on July 18, 1968, the Grateful Dead's second release ANTHEM OF THE SUN combined a number of 8-track studio recordings with several live 4-track recordings to create a nearly continuous concert presentation on each side of the original LP. (Side 1 [cuts 1-3] is 18:06; Side 2 [cuts 4-5] is 20:45.) In a process that took the better part of six months to complete, Jerry Garcia, Phil Lesh and engineer Dan Healy transferred many segments of tape onto one 8-track recorder. The resulting pastiche was remixed in 1971 at Alembic Studios by Bob Matthews and Betty Cantor. The track indexing and running time do not correspond at all to what's listed on the cover (although the song title listing is correct.)
All tracks have been digitally remastered using HDCD technology.
On 1968's ANTHEM OF THE SUN, the Grateful Dead stopped being just another band on the San Francisco scene and began initiating their own myth. Outgrowing the white-boy blues jamming of their debut and of their many SF contemporaries, the Dead graduated to an advanced, more lysergically influenced style--not just singing about Alice's adventures in that other world down the hole, but participating in them. Adventurous and grand, ANTHEM OF THE SUN was the first result of the muse that author Ken Kesey's infamous Acid Tests brought out in Grateful Dead ...
