That second line seems like some unnecessary clarification. Unless some more obviously comprised poop is coming out from other places

He's putting on a brave face. Johnny Cash has exposed him, though.

I like the implication there that it's specifically the damsel's dress that's causing her distress.

Not sure if joke or…

Be fair to the source material, for god's sake. It was "six eleven-year old boys gangbanging an eleven-year old girl to find their way out of the sewer after defeating Pennywise."

Yacht Rock, the web series, debuted in 2005, so the term's been around at least that long. And I've never heard really any of that described as yacht rock, especially the Clapton. It's all about faux-soulful, soft rock from the 80s. Maaaaybe Huey Lewis would be an example.

I read through the first question where one of them makes reference to being on tour with Third Eye Blind, which he calls a great tour, but made him realize he wanted to do something with his friends from the scene. I felt like I'd read enough.

Not so much a burn as a statement of fact.

You've made the mistake of assuming the show is trying to do any of that. It didn't fail at doing satire; it was never trying.

It intrigues me that you stepped in fully 8 hours after the question was asked to fill everybody in. Do you just have a crazy memory for comments in a thread?

Considering the Dead references on Wig Out (and the various other references in Malkmus's career), that would constitute the highest of hypocrisies.

But you're forgetting about the majesty that is "Witchy Woman," which, I'm pretty sure, isn't so much a figuration of sexual politics as it is just a straightforward song about a witch. That's some crucial stuff right there. Frank Ocean only wishes he could achieve such staggering blends of mediocrity and inanity.

You could maybe make that argument for S&E. I don't think anybody thinks that Brighten the Corners sounds like the Fall.

I'd argue that using somebody else's line because you can't come up with your own is more morally suspect than using somebody's work to play off it in a new context. What you're talking about doesn't seem to want to redirect the audience's intention to a new shading of the original; it seems to be more like trying to…

My favorite part of that whole thing was when Don Henley said that more young artists should be like Michael Buble, who covered an Eagles song after asking for permission. Shows you just how on the pulse of America Henley's finger is.

Yes. After that, you could pull out your septum without even getting too much blood on yourself.

Your comment is confusing. Does football beat figure skating for the Super Bowl, or any day of the week?

The deal with MBV isn't so much that they reunited though, as it is that they just put out albums every couple decades. They just operate with a totally different sense of pacing.

Sure. Because after my dad died, I didn't keep hearing him scream his opinion at me for months and months.

It's very confusing for the headline to be based around an album that hasn't been released yet. Until I read the article and saw the album name mentioned, the headline just looked like word salad.
