You're absolutely right. Kinja is hot garbage and the Gawker network should dump it. But they won't because fuck commenters.

"Recent creepy allegations against him aside for the moment…"

I didn't think the Brooklyn sketch was funny at all. Of course, I've never been to Brooklyn, so maybe you need that frame of reference.
SNL did a good job of keeping Affleck in his range and let their prime players do their jobs nicely.
Chance was awesome.

I was just bein' a dick and making fun of the author for using the word "fantastic" three times in the short description of the album.

The first time I saw Pinback they played an Optiganally Yours song, which was something I had never heard of. I bought the CD that night. It's excellent.

Beck - Fuckin' With My Head (Mountain Dew Rock)
Swans - The Seer Returns
Local Natives - Warning Sign
The Beach Boys - You Still Believe In Me
The Fire Theft - Chain
Old 97's - Barrier Reef
The Lucksmiths - Midweek Morning
Spoon - Anything You Want
The Frames - Santa Maria (live)

It's time for them to bring back the true classics: Belle and Sebastian, Today's Special, Pinwheel..
