I think there's also a Peanuts without Snoopy and/or with Snoopy not thinking or something. It doesn't work either.

If ya like Lasagna Cat check out their Robocop remake…

I tip my hat to him as a businessman, though as someone who appreciates the potential of comics as an art form I don't think this is a sentiment to be celebrated in any way.

"Don't Stop Me Now" is a glorious song. It's Mercury being incredibly raw and honest about his love of life and his sexuality. Its even more poignant in hindsight after Mercury's death, all things considered. I don't know how you can hear the sheer euphoria in his voice and think it's a worse song than the calculated…

Whee, pile on the depressed guy.

Nothin' tops "Action" as far as I'm concerned. Except the equally good "Teenage Rampage." "Fox on the Run" is tops too.

As opposed to you, so full of heart and life, but so willing to ruin a total stranger's day.

Man, I could have sworn that not only did season 2 already air but I even watched every episode of it.

There's definitely something tribal about music, considering how we define ourselves in sub-cultures by what music we like, and how just weird and wrong and awful a form of music that's not from your little tribe can sound.

"I like all music except for rap and country."

I maintain that's the greatest rock video ever made.

I get not being into music. I used to be when I was in my teens and twenties but somewhere around when I turned thirty last year I stopped caring so much. I love reading, I love movies, I love comedy, so I don't think I'm totally without a soul, but I don't get that much out of a song, not anymore. If I see a…

Stuff from the 40s (and probably before, I'd guess) was more about aspiring/amateur fantasy and sci fi writers putting out their own version of pulp fiction magazines and exchanging them in local clubs and through mail order. They're typically a mix of original stories and what we'd call "fanfiction", stories about…

The word "post" goes back to the BBS days, the term "blog" goes back to the late 90s (maybe JUST making the 15 year cutoff there) and I've seen self-published mimeographed fanfiction zines that were written and published in the forties and fifties. So I think "podcast" is the only gibberish term there, actually.

I've been thinking he looks a lot like Paulie Walnuts lately.
