Poor Owen
Pot and bongos seem to make McConaughey happy . . . why don't we send Owen Wilson some pot and bongos and then see what happens in Austin afterwards?

slut gut
What the heck's a slut gut???

Voice? meh.
But damn she looks like a troll doll with long blonde hair.

no
No. Nobody was going to mention Ben Folds.

seem to be
seem to be people.

Radiohead
I'm wondering: there seems to be people who really, really love Radiohead and those who really, really hate them. I'm wondering if that's the new "are you a Cure fan or a Smiths fan" debate.

call & response
I'm going to echo what several people have already said: I can't believe that the lack of more Portishead coverage. The inclusion of Helium has me scratching my head—has Timony really left that large a legacy? Although I have to totally agree with Yo la Tengo's and Spirtualized's being on the list:

milky way
I'd rather see John Lennon come to life.

klimpy
Your grammar is gorgeous. Keep it up!

3 buck surcharge
I wasn't totally clear about the three-buck surcharge; they would get paid according to how many people downloaded their albums. Crap bands wouldn't be able to use it as a crap-band-welfare-system.

a reasonable solution to profit problems
every internet carrier charges a 3-buck surcharge for unlimited music downloads, which goes directly to the artists.

editorial vs advertisement
The AV Club is obviously unlike a fashion magazine, where the advertisers suggest the editorial content.

faithful skeptic
The government did little to insure that the levies were in good condition.

e smith
From what I've listened to, most of what this guy wrote was derivative of the Beatles anyway. I mentioned that one time, and had everyone lash out at me at once. It was right after the whole suicide thing.

tag and axe's respective websites
Folks: run, don't walk to see the hideousnesses that are the Tag and Axe websites. Truly hateable. The question is: Are they being tongue-in-cheek, or are they really trying to convince prepubescents that they will attract sexy nurses (or whatever)?

solutions?
I've always loved videos, but now I just go to YouTube (long, long past are the days where I waited for 120 minutes to come on). My concern, and I can't believe I'm actually concerned but I am, is about the aforementioned lack of solutions.

slate review
The Slate review for this movie was absurdly vituperative.

better with sax
The opening of "Lazy Calm" by the Cocteau Twins is just awesome, especially for a band in which one wouldn't automatically think, "Hey, we need some sax here!"

Blueshammer!
Blueshammer!

We're avoiding the real problem here
The fact that Banmar is using Windows Media Player.
