You find a man who makes up funny names for weirdos, you gotta lock that shit down.

I hate you a little bit for making this joke, but I hate myself far more for laughing at it.

The opening line of Thick as a Brick: "Really don't mind if you sit this one out."

Agreed. This whole season so far has been Snoozeville, daddy-o.

Yes, I saw them do The Lamb. Pretty extraordinary. The guy who "played" Phil was a monster on the kit and his voice sounded just like him, it was scary.

Abacab was originally intended to be a double album.

Phil always seems to receive the majority of the vitriol regarding the change in Genesis' sound, mostly due to his solo success, but Banks and Rutherford equally deserve the blame … and I think "blame" may be too harsh and unnecessary.

I managed to escape (much like Julia Stiles) after season 5, and skipped the entirely of season 6.

The happiest people in the world tonight?

I just saw a installation of phlegmy impressions at the Museum of Modern Art.

I still don't understand the dozen Mexicans that were poisoned in the desert. Did Tate do that? If so, why? It ultimately had nothing to do with his revenge on Marco.

I agree that Rectify is amazing, but it's destined to be a show that about 14 people will ever watch.

Showtime would never stand to have a show of actual quality on their network.

Oh, you French. Gotta love ya, what with your blue-haired lesbians and all.

As a prog fan, the answer to this one is easy: anything in my collection.

I recently rewatched a good chunk of Australia, and man, those people were genuinely starving and miserable.
