It's worth stating again and again how wrong Modell was with his rewrite of the original dog years joke. And his condescending tone makes the whole thing a lot shittier.

But that movie came out when I was in high school (i.e. before I had feelings).

I might be overstating it, but I think that McKellar is a fairly divisive figure among Canadian film enthusiasts (I remember reading some screed against him online many years ago), but as an American only familiar with some of his smaller acting roles, I always liked the guy. I really enjoyed "Childstar" and really,…

Yeah, the choice of Lawrence's photo is what caused me to click this article, so I guess their gambit worked. Nevertheless, it's pretty pathetic that a pop culture website as intelligent and savvy as this one would resort to such blatant trickery. Using the the word "appalling" to describe an actor's belief that b/w…

True, though I've always wondered how much and how often youtube pays anyone. In this case, the user who uploaded the Galaxie 500 song is named "Brian Eno." I like to believe that the real Brian Eno has started a lucrative side business of posting songs he likes on youtube.

The linked piece is definitely worth a read. I also like the irony of the newswire ostensibly advocating for bigger paydays for artists by ending with a link to a youtube clip, that don't pay nuthin'

Euphoria Morning was one of my favorite records in college and made me go back and reappraise the Soundgarden catalog, which I hadn't give fair due when it was all the rage in high school. And that first Cornell solo tour, with Alain and Natasha from Eleven was really terrific. Alain Johannes is a vastly underrated…

Oh man, my brother played a show with Shawn Lane and Jonas Helborg once. We had all been huge fans of Lane/Helborg/Sipe live improv fusion records in the early-to-mid 90s, and then a few years later, a mutual friend recommended my brother to Shawn and they played a single gig at this tiny club in Memphis. The only…

Admittedly, I never understood punk or indie stuff at all, but I'm with you 100% on not understanding that genre's aversion to musical virtuosity. There are a lot of reasons to dislike Yngwie Malmsteen, but the fact that he worked really hard to learn how to play the guitar really fast seems like the the absolute…
