I never said anything about forcing him to change his review, I simply said that he was wrong because this album is a giant piece of shit

Another terrible band making bland, uninspired, emotionally and intellectually vacant music. B+

Oldham for me. I really really love Callahan's newer stuff under his own name, but I always found Smog really hard to get into outside of a few undeniably great songs (my favorite is 'I Was a Stranger'). Oldham's stuff just clicks with me better I guess. I especially love it when he dabbles in country, I think it's a…

Maybe it's from browsing reddit too much, but my blood pressure rises every time I see a post saying "relevant xkcd". like way to go asshole, go form a thought of your own sometime. the comic itself isn't for me, but the people who appreciate it way too much get on my nerves. I'm much more of a SMBC guy myself

"I would have a conversation with somebody, and it felt like I wasn’t talking necessarily to a person; I was talking to a list of talking points that they were set up with."

It would never work format-wise, but goddamn I get all giggly thinking about it - make Between Two Ferns with Zach Galifianakis the new Late Night

you mention the Strokes but fail to mention Fabrizio Moretti's work with Little Joy? their album is fantastic. not really a solo project so much as a group collaboration, but it is really good stuff

Reading Phil's section gave me a cluster headache.. are we watching the same show here? it doesn't matter WHY Danny DeVito keeps saying 'boy's hole', it's funny because he does. you sound like a real debbie downer

so I love the guitar work on what I've heard from the Smiths so far, but I just can't stand the vocals. how do you diehard fans get past that?

MOTHER FUCKER

I don't see any faults with the use of Ann Perkins. she's Leslie's best friend, that's all you have to know to justify her being on the show. I'd argue the biggest fault is Leslie and Ben's relationship. It just seems so… artificial. I have a big problem with the scenes where they act like they're in love. it's the…

@avclub-ca4fc44a59d0201cc7d4f760153cb00c:disqus  definitely man… the 20 minute version of Cortez the Killer on BtS' 'Live' is engaging the entire time. I always loved it when YLT would jam out in a haze of noise for a few minutes

Professor Brothers are so goddamn funny. if you like Neely's work, there's a channel on youtube that had similarly shitty animated cartoons with a killer sense of humor. I highly recommend them: http://www.youtube.com/watc…

Smokey is not a spotty album, it's perhaps his best one (still can't decide between that and Cripple Crow). I mean yea he does move between genres frequently but the songwriting and production are just perfect. problem post-Smokey is that he seems lazy, or apathetic, and it shows in his albums. like, 'Ballad of Keenan…

The best singers are those whose voice fits their music sincerely. but simplicity is also key. showing off is pointless if it doesn't suit the song. Janis Joplin is awesome because she gave it her all and you could hear that in her voice. overproduced vocals in pop music today suck because they're generic and have…

Urge to kill… rising…

looks better at the margins now, but I still have the aesthetic from the update. I liked the old boxes better. now it reminds me of every other comments section

is Disqus messed up for anyone else? the comment section is so narrow that it's impossible to read through them anymore

PBS is awesome because you can watch it in HD for free, and the focus is on the food more than the chef. less gimmicks and advertising as well
