Slip it in!

He's thrown a kettle over a pub.  What have you done?

1) The "irony" that you point to isn't really ironic.  There's a difference between the repetition of an artist rehashing old ideas, and the repetition of a commenter expressing an opinion that somebody else has already expressed.  The first kind of repetition is the mark of a hack, or someone who's coasting.  The…

wind, bamboo, etc.

This reminds me of a stupid argument I got involved with awhile ago, in the comments section of a Clapton video on Youtube.   Clapton's fans seemed to think it was totally impossible that he's a racist, since he's a king of blues guitar, and so clearly loves black music.  Evidence to the contrary (quotes of shitty…

random dude: was just checking out the Conservapedia article on Greatest Conservative TV Shows…

Dr. Robuttnik: the difference is worth stressing because you sometimes hear creationists stupidly demanding to know, if apes can evolve into humans, then why can't we go to the zoo and watch a chimp evolve into a human right before our eyes?

Nice burn.  Possible reply: two years from now, when you turn 12, you will find your devotion to Justin Bieber to be excruciatingly embarrassing.  You will lie about it and/or pretend it never happened.

I demand a sitcom based on "Vicar in a Tutu."  It writes itself.

When people accuse AA of being a cult, it's not (merely) because of the "higher power" element.  It's because they seem to use a lot of the subtler thought control techniques that other cults use.  Like convincing people that if you don't stay within the group and do what they say, then you're doomed.  Or getting…

He didn't say that alcoholism isn't a real problem.  He said, if it's a problem that only God can cure, then it can't be a real problem.  Which is true.

The Star Wars Saga:

I agree with destructive recovery: the secrecy of Scientology should be a major red flag for anyone thinking about getting involved with them.  While all religions believe their share of crazy bullshit, Scientology seems to keep a lot of their beliefs secret, for fear of scaring people off.  Christians are at least…

I don't listen to Crybaby much either, but Melvins covers are usually pretty epic.  Going Blind, Green Manalishi, Lexicon Devil, Candy-O, Youth of America, Ballad of Dwight Fry, Sacrifice, etc.

The Mike Destefano and Matt Graham interviews are my favorite in this category.

Sadly, "Boomie Lives" is not a statement of fact, but a slogan to honor this probably-dead-but-who-knows cat.  Like "Remember the Alamo."

1) Eddie Peppitone (he appears a lot for ten-minute segments: he should get the full hour-long treatment)
2) Mike Watt
3) Maron's ex-wives

More favorites:
— Bob Zmuda (love the "did Kaufman fake his own death?" mind-fuck)
— Steven Tobolowsky (great stories)
— Stewart Lee (maybe not the strongest WTF interview ever, but it inspired me to seek out Lee's stuff, which is great)

The do-it-yourself dentistry in Affliction should get an honorable mention.

I agree that this song blows, but I've gotta admit that it pushes some happy nostalgia buttons for me, from when I heard it on the Sesame Street Xmas special when I was a kid.
