I listened to the Grey Album before ever hearing the Black Album. When I got around to the Jay Z original it was quite a disappointment.

It's odd that they canned him more than two months ago but the Grantland page still has a prominent SIMMONS tab up top, and his old podcasts are right on the front page. I don't think his firing was well thought out…
And Chris Connelly is the new EIC?? That guy seems like he's one step away from being a TMZ reporter.

Jesus, it's not like he's Chris Brown, or that scumbag from lostprophets. Sounds like he's a bit of a miserable asshole but I'll still listen to Ghosts of the Great Highway.

Playing the Commodore in Vancouver…that's a fairly small venue, what a nice surprise! Going to be loud as fuck.

CBB has completely changed my stance on Horatio Sanz. I didn't really like him at all on SNL, although my dislike of Jimmy Fallon probably spilled over onto him, but he's become a must-listen-to level guest on Earwolf podcasts.

Fun song, awesome video. And I'm glad that Lil Jon is back on top. I saw him on that season of Celebrity Apprentice and he seems like a genuinely nice, smart guy. I figured, judging by his presence on the show, that his time at the top of the music industry was over and that he'd been replaced by T-Pain. Glad I was…

I'm a bit embarrassed to admit it, but this was the first time I've heard music by Killer Mike and El-P…I've now got both Run the Jewels albums and am listening to them on repeat, fucking fantastic stuff.
I can't imagine the level of emotions at that St. Louis show. When Mike finished his speech and the beat fired up…

I wonder how Grantland is structured. It seems like with the amount of work Simmons has put into it, and basically launching it off the strength of his brand (with an assist from Klosterman), he must have an ownership stake in it, right? ESPN wouldn't be able to get rid of him without a significant payoff.

Ya I remember his stuff really popping back in the Image days. I don't remember anything about the story, but the art in Pitt was badass.
I also liked that Keown always managed to look like a character from Heavy Metal Parking Lot in his press photos.

I used to watch MI quite a bit, even though I don't like reality shows and don't care about, or want, tattoos. I'm shocked that it ran from '05-08…it's been off the air for 6 years?! Where the hell has my life gone?

That's the funny thing about Walker. If you only listen to his early stuff you'd think of him as a sort of cheeseball crooner. But from Nite Flights to Bish Bosch he's become just about the weirdest musician around.

Ya the description of Trebek in the title is definite click bait. Ooooh Trebek gets pissed at some dude's answer, gotta see that! Then all he does is chuckle and say 'good for you'…uhh…it seems like he was actually kind of amused.

Stanhope is alright, but Norm blows him out of the water. I think Doug's a bit surface level and facile, Norm is on some next level shit.

Yep. Every now and then I'll watch a few episodes and enjoy them, but then I'll get distracted by something else for a few months. Part of it for me is that after watching so many great crime based shows (Sopranos, The Wire, Breaking Bad, True Detective etc.) the stakes in Mad Men just seem really low. Oh, Don's…

I'll co-sign that one. I want to like him…but it just ain't happening.

I don't think he likes anything very much. He seems to especially hate shaving, bathing, and not smoking.

I think you're burying the lede here…Norm Macdonald Live is back! He abruptly stopped making episodes almost a year ago, and now, just as abruptly, he's started pumping them out again.

And whoever's responsible for updating Morrissey's Twitter page hasn't made a post in nearly 5 years (!)

I'm a Who Charted fan, but I thought this week's was pretty terrible. I've found Kulap a bit annoying recently, but Jesus, April has basically negative energy. And her podcast involves commenting on an episode of Saved by the Bell? That sounds excruciating. I've never heard of Mike Lawrence before but he was basically…

Glad I'm not the only one who missed that. I was half-watching the episode so I thought maybe I missed a big cannibal reveal…was it really just the bbq and the pile of bloody bones?
