Is "JS&MR" worth reading for someone who usually can't stand stuff set so far back in the day? How much does it try to actually be historical?

Lincoln: the parents may not be buying the thongs. 6th grade girls most likely still get allowances/go to malls with friends and buy stuff for themselves.

I'm a psychology professional, and can tell you that Dissociative Identity Disorder (DID) is in the current DSM (a revision is due out pretty soon, but I don't think that DID was one of the things being taken out/modified). No, I haven't encountered it, but I'm a school psychologist rather than a clinical one, and by…

Texans aren't pansies, thanks.

I also thought they were a Lightning Seeds ripoff … but not a very good one —- I like the Lightning Seeds and don't like Owl City.

oh, here's a reference:

@bendiagram You do know that Shakespeare was an actor for years before he became a playwright, right?

I guess it's just a personal taste thing again. I actually sometimes like the movie better than the book (example that will piss everyone off: "Breakfast of Champions"), but in the case of "Coraline" I thought the changes, such as the new character, especially since his existence/intervention meant that (SPOILERS)…

Well, it's definitely not cool for ME to do acid, though it took me several times (over a decade ago) to be sure of that. I'm not sure what the young people are doing these days … maybe I should ask the middle-schooler that I counsel ….

in Austin we have …

… some of us really like "detailed descriptions of neurophysiology," so this is going on my amazon wishlist.

Oh, and before anyone starts in with that B-side BS, I had only vaguely heard of Girl Talk before seeing the Hood Internet, so it's not that I decided that Girl Talk were too popular to like.

I like the Hood Internet a lot better than Girl Talk, but since they don't have proper albums as far as I know, it's not like they could even be on this list. They've done things that sounded much better to me with the same samples.

So Radiohead has one good song (Idioteque). I like one song by the Black Eyed Peas too (Weekend, which was a pre-Fergie song). But I wouldn't put them on a top-50 list ….

The only song I actually like by Radiohead is "Idiotheque," and it was mentioned in the review. But one song does not a top-ten placement make ….

So I'm guessing LCD soundsystem will be in the top 50 even though they aren't that great?
