replacing Schwarzenegger’s blockhead charisma and canned one-liners with whatever it is that Colin Farrell brings to the table." Of all people, I did not expect to find myself defending Colin Farrell but have you seen In Bruges? Whatever he brought to the table there earned a lifetime of goodwill in my eyes.

Well, the Smashing Pumpkins largely cut itself loose from all of its band members other than the lead singer-songwriter and look how they turned it. Maybe Community will pull a reverse-Billy Corgan? Optimistic (and awfully kinky-sounding).

Turn On the Bright Lights and Antics are still in constant rotation for me - I listen to the most recent two albums more out of devotion than anything else. TOTBL is a classic in my book, and Stylus Magazine articulated why far better than I ever could:
