“She Don’t Use Jelly” eventually became the Flaming Lips’ breakthrough hit.
And they got a little help…
from two special guys at MTV
(Music Cut #3 “Beavis and Butthead” cut)
BEAVIS AND BUTT-HEAD!
The two featured the song’s music video…
helping introduce the Flaming Lips…
to a whole new audience.
Even Wayne Coyne credited these fine wingnuts!

LYRIC OF THE DAY: “When he’s at home an’ he blows his nose, He don’t use tissues, Or his sleeves, He don’t use napkins, or any of these. He uses Magazines.” – The Flaming Lips “She Don’t Use Jelly”

Welcome to Movies That Matter, where we look at three movies worth knowing about before the weekend begins.
Tom Cruise may have doomed humanity – whoopsie, Anne Hathaway and Dakota Johnson have some very dark secrets, and a giant bunny – not good – is back on the big screen after 25 years.
(Countdown Video)
What’s new? Tom Cruise is playing Digger Rockwell… in Digger.
(Digger clip – “I wasn’t expecting that”)
Digger is described as the most powerful man in the world — who is suddenly trying to convince everyone that he can save humanity.
One problem – he helped create the disaster.
So, in essence… save the world from yourself.
(Digger clip – “from sinking into chaos”)
And if that sounds complicated, I’m sorry – things aren’t getting any easier.
Dakota Johnson stars in Verity as a struggling writer hired to finish the books of a famous author played by Anne Hathaway.
(Verity clip – “You Must Have Questions”)
Then she finds a secret manuscript inside the house…
…and starts wondering exactly how much of it is fiction.
(Verity clip – “This is Verity”)
And finally… celebrating its 25th anniversary in a new 4K presentation, it’s Jake Gyllenhaal in Donnie Darko.
Say hello to Frank… a bunny rabbit.
(Donnie Darko clip – “The Giant Bunny Rabbit”)
The anniversary screenings run through October 4th.
That’s this weekend’s Movies That Matter. From saving humanity to dark family secrets to one very uncomfortable bunny, there should be something waiting for you at the movies.
Until next time – keep on popping the corn.

Welcome to Music That Matters with 3, 2, 1 New Music Monday.
This week: Leon Bridges gets a little Jungle help, Tom Morello invites in some friends, and Nothing But Thieves goes back to basics.
Plus, Taylor Swift, U2, and Alice in Chains unplugged on vinyl.
(Countdown Video)
3 major album drops.
First up — Leon Bridges with Happiness Anytime.
(“Happiness Anytime” clip)
This is Leon’s fifth studio album where he teamed up with J Lloyd and Lydia Kitto from Jungle for four days – and came away with half an album. That’s chemistry!
(“Talk It Over” clip)
Leon wanted music he could actually dance to onstage, and you can hear that extra groove all over this record.
Next, Tom Morello rages again with friends on Everyone Gets Everything They Want.
(“Unconquered” clip)
The guest list is stacked.
Serj Tankian is here. So is KNEECAP. Beartooth as well.
Tom’s son Roman Morello is all over this thing too.
(“Adjourn It” clip)
And then we have Nothing But Thieves returning to the same studio where they made their debut album.
(“Testosterone” clip)
They went back to that smaller, noisier sound of five guys making a racket together.
This is their fifth album – Stray Dogs
(“Stray Dogs” clip)
2 new singles.
This first song is actually one of four included on the expanded encore to last year’s album The Life of a Showgirl.
Taylor Swift with “Patient Zero.”
(“Patient Zero” clip)
Bottom line – it’s brand-new Taylor, and yes, that automatically makes it one of the biggest releases of the week.
Also new – and also big – U2 with “Silencio.”
(“Silencio” clip – sill-len-see-o)
This is the second song from their upcoming album Carnaval De Luz, arriving November 13th.
And that album will be U2’s first studio album of entirely new material in nine years.
(Record Scratch video)
And finally, one vinyl pick.
Alice in Chains’ MTV Unplugged – its the 30th anniversary.
The new double-LP reissue brings that 1996 performance back to vinyl, with stripped-down versions of “Nutshell,” “Rooster,” “Down in a Hole,” and “Would?”
(“Would?” clip)
That’s your 3 albums, 2 singles, and 1 vinyl for the week.
This has been 3, 2, 1 New Music Monday
Until next time.

(Music Cut #1 – opening to “Can’t Stop This Thing We Started”)
Okay…
apparently we’re STILL not done…
with September 24th, 1991.
Because on the very same day as Nirvana…
Red Hot Chili Peppers…
and A Tribe Called Quest…
Bryan Adams also released…
Waking Up the Neighbours.
(Music Cut #2 – hook to “Can’t Stop This Thing We Started”)
And the album included a song Bryan Adams wrote…
for Kevin Costner’s Robin Hood: Prince of Thieves.
But the movie studio…
wasn’t exactly blown away by it.
(Music Cut #3 – Robin Hood / end credits)
So they stuck it…
over the closing credits.
From there – “(Everything I Do) I Do It for You”…
became one of the biggest hits
of Bryan Adams’ entire career.
(Music Cut #4 – “(Everything I Do) I Do It For You”)
LYRIC OF THE DAY: “Don’t tell me it’s not worth fightin’ for I can’t help it, there’s nothin’ I want more.” – Bryan Adams “(Everything I Do) I Do It For You”
