Stuff Tom hates that you like.

With an Ecto-Cooler!

Is that a kind of refrigerator that cools with ghosts instead of Freon?

[Matt]

I've cooled on Tom Waits and The Band, but I'll always be a Randy Newman fan. I'm surprised Tom dislikes him so much, since I think he's one of the few legitimately funny songwriters out there. Too mean-spirited, maybe.

They were Hi-C pouches in the mid-nineties, I think. I can't remember what the difference with the taste was, but Slimer was on the box.

Steely Dan
Sonic
Tron
The new Kanye West album (somebody said this)
'Simply Having a Wonderful Christmas Time' (or does Tom like this? So many people hate it, I can't keep them straight)

I remember Ecto-coolers and Ghostbusters cereal being supremely delicious.

Anyone who doesn't like ecto-cooler is a fool.

Does Tom really hate The Band, or just not quite get them?  I did hear him say he hates Tom Waits though.  Oh well, his loss.

I'm sure no one will agree with me, but I actually found most of the 'King of Kong' cast to be quite endearing.

With the caveat that there are tons of things that I'm not interested in (e.g. most sports) but can't say "I don't like" because I don't have an informed opinion of them....

Stuff Tom hates that I like:
Steely Dan.

Stuff Tom likes that I do not:
Guided By Voices

That's another one for me. I actually liked that movie a lot. I thought Billy Mitchell made a good villain and found the Steve W guy pretty relatable. Losing yourself in a video game from the 80s after getting the shaft at work is a lot more interesting than the losing yourself in a bottle after getting the shaft at work story. The referee guy also amused me.

This American Life. I don't blame Tom because there's plenty to make fun of if you're inclined. But come on!

Maybe it's just my Love for him as a twelve year old, but I have a lifelong love of Zappa. Those first three MOV albums are top notch, especially Absolutely Free. All the Mothers stuff really. I dig Waits too, Swordfishtrombones through Bone Machine is a great run of records.

I like country music, but it's kind of ambiguous whether Tom really hates it or not. I've heard him play some Laura Cantrell before.
