I love feeling special for getting those jokes. That and, "You have to stop," had me in tears.

I was being hyperbolic.

Is "Batty Boyz" the most homophobic thing ever or what?
Way to make a lot of people cringe, DOOM.

"Heads Will Roll?"
I wonder why they picked the weakest track on the record as the lead single. It initially made nervous, but the entire rest of the record, save maybe "Zero," is excellent. "Hysteric" may be the best song they've ever written.

I have kind of a bit of an aversion to both prog and metal.
How is it that I love Mastodon?

Agreed. The whole thing makes for a pretty odd pop album, but two thirds of it are pretty excellent. I have virtually no exposure to the rest of Carey Mercer's output, so I do don't know how this stacks up for him, but this is some good Krug and Bejar.

Have at it, you guys.

Did anybody else see the Colbert Report episode with David Byrne?
"Not once have I asked myself, 'how did I get here?'"

No, no, I saw that. I just never miss a chance to complain about that movie.

Allow me to interject with something semi-relevant: fuck that movie and fuck people who like that movie.

It's about perfect, really. One of the best-known Lips songs, and a fantastic one at that. Mine is "I Love New York," which is considerably lesser. People think of New York and they think of the City, but there's still upstate, which is strikingly different. Maybe a State Song by somebody out of Buffalo would be…

Oh, wow!
I could have sworn that reading/watching this last night was a weird dream. I sincerely can't believe that this is real.

People, please, please. The correct answers are Automatic for the People and Get Behind Me Satan.

Your profile says you're playing the skin flute. You're not allowed to call things juvenile.

A THREE HOUR TOUR???

God I Love Christopher Moore.
Lamb got me back into reading for fun and not just for school. One of the funniest writers alive.

My friend hates this guy.
We get in arguments over who's funnier: him or Jeff Dunham. It makes me just want the world to end, but then I realize that then we wouldn't have any more Demetri Martin and it seems like less fun.

Ewwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwww.

Low was my first Bowie album and it's still where it's at. I played it for a pretty musically literate friend of mine once in high school and she had a hard time connecting the dots between it and say Ziggy Stardust.
