I'm from Marquette, and get back there about once a year, but have not yet gone in for some of their beer. Black Rocks in Marquette makes some tasty brews, and I agree on Keweenaw - their Black Ale and Scotch Ale are particularly good.

"I wonder if there's beer on the sun."

"Parody Instagram Feed" is a nice description of the Biebs.

Toured there for three or four hours a year ago and agree. The detailed work required of the restoration efforts is quite something, too. The thing that blew me away was that you could be up on that mountain top, look around in basically any direction, and still be looking at Hearst land. Pretty amazing.

To be fair, they probably don't charge you the extra $30 or so to visit the Castle…

And a rather large house.

So I'm watching a trailer at the AV Club for a show that includes Jamie Hector and Lance Reddick, and who should appear on the right side of the top of the comment section in an ad for Braun shavers but Tristan Wilds - Michael Lee from The Wire. First time I've seen him in anything since he knocked off Marlo's bank…

Can't help but think of this…

Started watching the original series a month or so ago. Really enjoyed season one and am now about halfway into season two (James has left town and is busying himself fixing a jaguar, Leland has been dead for a couple episodes). Things have really slowed down and I don't know much more I can take of Bobby and Shelly…

Here comes that story of the hurricane, Jack!

Lay, lady, lay…lay across all these other broads on my big brass bed…

That's Season 2.

Same here - got into them entirely on my own, and when you mention Blues Traveler and Hootie & The Blowfish as well, you just named the first three CDs I ever purchased "with my own money" as a kid.

Dug this album when I was 14, as I hadn't really heard anything like it before. It was bright, poppy, multicultural (as was noted), had some long jams, and strange guitar lines and hooks throughout. Worked for me, and I enjoyed it for a year or so,then listened to Crash for a few minutes a year or so later, and then…

Or it will match up with descriptions of the fictionalized "The End" in Noah's book.

Or "James Cromwell," of Knightsbridge, Stepney, and Mersey.

"Solloway? S-O-L-L-O-W-A-Y?…..Nope, not seeing any past reservations from him."

You knew going in that Stuart would end up with Jessica - the only question was how Merchant was going to put that together. For them to end up together halfway through the movie provided the twist - and the necessary self-realization Stuart needed - and in the end it was an enjoyable 90 minutes, once again with an…

Completely agree on Pink Floyd. Looking back, I wasted a lot of dough on shoddy bootleg recordings from the tours of the 70s. If only the bit torrent scene had been around 10 years earlier…

I bootlegged the Tears for Fears "Songs From The Big Chair" album on my Carebears tape recorder when I was six, and I still have some affection for that album, and the next year when Peter Gabriel's "So" album came out, I was hooked. I've loved Peter Gabriel's music ever since.
