Not sure if this has been discussed in the recaps, but I'm curious SPOILERS FOR THE UNINITIATED: when was the moment for you when Walt truly crossed over from good to evil? I know it's been a slow descent, but I was discussing this topic with some friends the other day. One person argued when Walt killed the kid in

They hung towels from the car ceiling so it wouldn't be gay, lest you forget.

I'd see posters for this show in the NY subway and (incorrectly) assumed it'd be terrible. Glad I gave it a chance, because it's pretty consistently hilarious. Stupid, low-brow, disposable, and hilarious.

It's a cussing great little film.

I actually played poker against Glass during a charity event for 826NYC a few years ago. He took it pretty seriously and knew what he was doing, and was super friendly and gregarious the whole time. The chip stacks were based upon how much money you could raise from sponsors, so I sat down with about $50, whereas some

They're some of my favorite young adult books of the past few years. Interesting, dark, unpredictable, with a great cast of characters and fascinating and dark themes at their core. Highly recommended.

I, too, enjoy the hobo rasp. Plus, dude plays a mean guitar and chooses interesting covers. And, in my defense, I liked Mr. Ward long before he became a Starbucks darling. Dude just makes good music, kills it live, strengthens anything he collaborates on…what's to hate?

Agreed. More solid stuff with what's become his signature sound. Nothing revolutionary, but thoroughly satisfying.

Glad to see this got a good review. Love this dude—saw him at The Apollo of all places and was really impressed, and secretly glad that Ms. Z. was nowhere in sight. If she continues appearing on one or two songs per album, I can deal.

I can't remember who told me this story, so take it with a grain of salt, but here's what I remember: someone I knew was at a random party in NYC where Bill Murray was in attendance. People treated him like normal, didn't make a big deal out of it, although everyone was more or less thinking how cool it was. Either my

Sarah is definitely very funny, but I don't know how well Sarah would do with characters. I think Elaine Carroll is the better choice for cast member. She's got more sketch chops.

I saw a show from that tour (in beautiful Camden, New Jersey!) and didn't realize the opposite—that FF was opening. Ferdinand rocked it, but I also loved Death Cab. I did not, however, shriek Ben's name…it was more of an imploring stage whisper meant to be heard by his heart.

I skipped Gorillaz on their first tour way back when, even though I inexplicably liked them despite not being into either Blur or hip hop in general. Finally atoned by seeing them rock MSG. Absolutely amazing show.

I was pretty nervous about this after seeing perform a bunch of the material solo last November, and even more so when "Eyeoneye" was released as the first single. Thankfully, the album is better than I was expecting, but still, for me, doesn't rate with Noble Beast or Armchair Apocrypha, both of which I find to be

Followed the thread from this week's weekend recap to see your news, @avclub-e206d507b0f7294235c3940292f60ac0:disqus  . Hope it works out for you. I actually went through the same thing in November, except I was the guy in the scenario and it wasn't my decision. It sucked a fat one initially, but now, 3+ months later,

I'm also reading Chronic City, but I've been putting it down for other things, including American Gods for a new Bourbon and Books club I started with some dude friends. The last thing I read was Chase going to someone's funeral and making out in the rain?

I mostly agree, though "Haiti" and "Sprawl II" are pretty damn good.
