LE DISQUE REPORT
by Phillippe Aghion
I listened to Belle & Sebastian the other day and had the sudden wish that all music could sound that way, which is childish I know, but I’ve had similar feelings about the first, fourth and sixth titles on our list at various times, along with late-60s Mercedes-Benz sedans and the 1977 version of the Montreal Canadiens hockey club, but alas, I have to live in the real world like everyone else.
Harvey Birdman Attorney At Law Vol. 2 (Warner Bros)
Immensely funny and dizzyingly inventive.

Merry Christmas (Sony)
Slightly maudlin film about impromptu WWl soccer match between French and German soldiers.

More irritating than charming? You decide.

If you haven’t seen it, you owe it to yourself to check it out.

Poster Boy (Genius)
No longer-shocking premise: the son of a right-wing politician has gay affair with an activist.
November 14
Northern Exposure: The Complete 5th Season (Universal)
A show that never begged to be liked, which was refreshing.

If you’re like me you know the man’s entire career was a prelude to John Frankenheimer’s Seconds.

Best of The Electric Company (Shout Factory)
Much more appreciated after my parents finally got a color TV set.

6 Feet Under: The Complete Series (Warner)
It’s always been a bit too self-satisfied for my tastes, but many, many disagree.
