I think Genevieve has them confused too, in the Stray Observations. I have to admit, I had them conflated for the first several times Linda talked to Ginger on the phone.

It's online statements adding up into a pot from my distributor. Why would I make this up?

Sorry, man. You're wrong. I'm an independent artist, and I regularly receive royalty statements for $0.000001 or crazy stuff like that. I am completely serious. The streaming services are absolutely BILKING the content creators. It's insulting.

There are lots of artists with online content who don't work on that model. And legacy artists (like Portishead) are probably not working on that model either.

I'm an independent artist, and I get around 60-70 cents for every dollar download

Why isn't there a Homestar Runner app? I am serious.

I think he's just saying Nugent was building his solo around the relative minor. It's neither unique nor notable. Pretty much every guitarist uses this trick. It's a good way to use bluesy riffs and techniques in a major-key song.

Spector had nothing to do with "Hey Jude." It was recorded during the White Album sessions and released as a single in 1968.

The intro of "I Need a Lover Who Won't Drive Me Crazy" is completely insane and perfect. Key change city.

What's the key change in "Hey Jude"? The two bridge sections? ["So any time you feel the pain…" and "So let it out and let it in…"] Frankly, I'm not sure those qualify as key changes or even modulations. More like some local tonicization spotlighting a B-section (a la Gershwin).

Schmitty!

I adore the Beastie Boys. Sometimes I find myself just zoned out and daydreaming about the freakin' Beastie Boys. But I do NOT like their Def Jam era. Songs are juvenile, production is harsh and cheep and cheesy, and the whole mood is too frat-boy for my tastes. Every single other one of their albums is tight as hell,

I'd say Jeremy Piven in Old School.

There is no Kaylee. She's already dead. Mike is the only one who sees her.

There are multiple Kaylees. It's a code name Mike gives any little girl he treats as his granddaughter. And they all end up getting killed by vengeful cops or cartel assassins. There have been like 12 Kaylees since the 1980s. It's a sad pattern.

Maybe "Kaylee" is a code name he gives any little girl that he gains affection for. He's had, like, twelve Kaylees since the 1980s.

Yeah, why wasn't she part of this poll? She's at the top of my short list. Her TV gig has recently ended and she has anchor experience, not to mention sketch and producing. The only thing she doesn't have is the journalistic/political cred, but A. that can come later; and B. she can move the show away from Jon's

Everybody should remember, "female friendly" is a tag. And it's for guys too!

Chex Mix used to be super-flavorful, but I think they cut down on the salt content or something, 'cause it's just bland now. I usually get the generic/Kroger brand of the same mix, 'cause it simply has more flavor.

Workaholics started out kinda good and maybe came really CLOSE to becoming a great show, and then veered sharply away from that (it's solidly sucked for a while now).
