More gruesome still- he actually got ate!

Thanks @avclub-e131fa896265671584c9b01cb0ed51cd:disqus!  Although out here, of course, it's also widely remembered as the anniversary of when Captain Cook was killed in kind of a gross way, which is actually pretty fittingly morbid for lonely grad students! Happy Valentine's!

For those of us in Hawai`i Standard Time who have to wait hours to watch this, it's nice to Control+F Lizzy Caplan and see she's in this episode ahead of time.  Now I actually have something to look forward to on Valentine's Day!

High Command is sort of in the same boat, but they really moved away from that style of songwriting as soon as they put out Earth II.  Tallahassee was the song that got me into them as well, and I was pretty disappointed to find that there weren't many more tracks like it on their other albums at first.  Earth is a

That scene might be my favorite one in the movie just because of how Sickboy comes off as charming as he sicks a dog on its owner.  If you take away the fact that he does a Sean Connery impression, his character throughout the rest of the movie is a perpetually angry, on edge near-sociopath who is the farthest thing

Goddammit, but she was so great in that movie.  The first scene she's in the movie, where Josh Brolin gets home late and exchanges like three lines of dialogue with her is like a monument to how good of actress she is.  They exchange like 20 words, and it's already entirely clear that they're in love, that they have a

Yeah, it's probably the only Orbital song I still listen to on a regular basis.  I've also taken to Opus III's Fine Day, which is where all the vocal samples come from: http://www.youtube.com/watc….

Oh man, remember how they played "Halcyon and on and on" Orbital during the flyover scene in Hackers?  That was even better than when they "Halcyon and on and on" during the credits of Mortal Kombat.

With a cameo by Annoying Orange!

Can I just tangent briefly and say how much I love the album artwork?  Seriously, I'd blow up the demons on the cover to portrait size and hang them on my wall if I could.  There's something especially refreshing about seeing really solid album in the age of MP3s.

I think Earth has been evolving pretty consistently between this album and "Bees," when they really started experimenting with country twang.  I notice a lot of tracks on Angels II are uncharacteristically positive while being no less sparse than Angels I, which make this album a nice foil to the last one.  I'm not

Actually, their yacht flies.  It's powered by tweeness and Danelectro guitar tones.

This is a really good way of putting it.  I think Best Coast is a little more consistent that Tennis is, and unlike Tennis I can usually listen to an entire Best Coast album without getting bored.  But a little of both bands goes a long way, which probably has to do with how gimmicky both bands are at their core.

I know, and now they're making a racket!

I now pronounce you Fartsmith and Fartmaster.

Actually, it's pronounced Meel-E-Wah-Kay, which is Algonquin for "The Good Land."

Now that you mention it, there's this big gaping hole in my memory from the day where I saw Pearl Harbor.  I could've been abducted by aliens or something.

Making sense of that felt like I was grinding my internal monologue through a bunch of tin foil balls.
