Always thought the female backup vocal raised this song to another level. Anyone know who sang it?

Yes. I still don't know what the hell they were saying.

I think they meant that Alex G. is a good example of an out of left field guest for Maron. No other guests were on.

It's funny, on another podcast (Bill Simmons, I think) they mentioned how Klosterman's take on sports is interesting precisely because he is not a sports writer (something to that effect.) This explains exactly why I love Marc Maron. With Alex, he knew just enough about cooking to ask specific questions, but he also…

Looks like you took a nice big swing at that low-hangin' pinata yourself, Emperor Jim. #sarcasmmuch?

It's so easy to forget the context here:  pop music at the time was so contrived and banal, because other than established acts perfecting their sound (Metallica, U2, REM, etc.) you had: pop ballads, Garth Brooks, New jack swing (fine for what it was), cheesy hair metal, MC Hammer, Vanilla Ice, etc. etc. People aren't…

Well, I think it's interesting to look back at that stuff because it kinda was the way you defined yourself to those around you if you were, say 13-18 years old, as absurd as that is/was, and to appreciate more fully just how absurd it is/was.  I don't think it was the haircut that defined Heller here, he's just…

All he said was that premise of Breaking Bad, The Sopranos and Weeds is that the main character  is considered an "anti-hero". That was the only comparison. In the same way that a Ferrari Enzo and Dodge Neon are both kinds of "sports cars" Reading!

Migrated from The Onion.

Yes!
Toro y moi-
The Smiths- "That joke isn't funny anymore"
Queen/Bowie- "Under Pressure"
Johnny Cash- "Daddy sang bass" (live from San Quentin)
REM- Windout (live version)

I cannot recall an actor who has transformed himself so completely, in his looks, voice, acting, everything, the way Cranston has; and yet, I could totally see him as a lead in a comedy again in a heartbeat.  Maybe Michael Chiklis comes close?

Aisha Taylor's character (talking to herself?)- I know,ironic right? The inventor of Facebook sits in an empty deposition room, sends a friend request to his ex-girlfriend and constantly refreshes to see if she accepts it. He invented Facebook, and he has no friends. Ironic. A lot ironic.

My grandparents lived on 53rd St., right in Hell's Kitchen, and my Uncle was fond of saying that Jimmy Cagney was my babysitter. Not sure what he meant by that, but needless to say, I was introduced to Cagney movies fairly early in life.

I love, love, love, Cate Blanchett. I would have followed her Elizabeth I into the ocean and fought the Spanish Armada myself. Definitely someone who will be more appreciated over time, I hope.

Except that the major corporations are going to take over crowdfunding sources (in on form or another) so I think there will be more "commercial" crowdsourced sites and more indie, DIY sites in the spirit of how Kickstarter began.
 It seems possible that venture capitalism in movies could become the new hedge-fund…

Indie generally means more creative control for the movie makers, fewer notes from suits. So if an indie is crap, it's easy to see who's to blame. Studio films suffer from too many people trying to "nuance" the material, but if the director/writer's vision is clear enough, a  studio-financed film can be better than it…

+25 internets for proper use of the word "lachrymose." Nice.

I see what you did there, Texass. Well played. Google John Mayer and Kumail Nanjiani and see everybody.

Agreed with OP. I love Kumail, but he missed the intent of the song and video, doesn't change how sad it is, how bad the music is of course.

The fact that its a Bell Berry song kind of shows why it's so different.
