I've been getting this monthly, and enjoying it, but I find I'm losing the continuity a bit. Is it a better read in the collected format?

Pitchfork and Interactive
This is probably the first and only time those two words will be used in a sentence.

I'll give you that. The art has been serviceable at best. I actually wish they went with a more cartoon look, like Stuart Immonen. But I guess they're going for a bread & butter classical look.

Hickman's FF
I started in on this monthly with the Millar run, which was hugely disappointing —not because of Millar himself, but everything just didn't add up. Even Hitch's art was so-so, and the kids looked like miniature 80 yr olds.

Ferris Bueller's Day Off.

Loved the Sword conclusion
I think this has been the Luna's tightest, most professional book so far. And a great read, too. They paced the issues out and never let the tension drop, which was essential considering the premised (girl seeks revenge). I loved how they developed the characters, including the villains,…

I'm not going to blindly defend the show, because I think everyone here watching it loves Louis CK, but I have to disagree about the criticism above. I don't find the shifts in tone jarring at all. CK's character remains the anchor from scene to scene, and his reaction to everything is consistent. The downbeat tone…

I'd be happy to watch this show on television when it's carried here. And I'll definitely be purchasing the dvd's, since it's awesome. In the meantime I hear that torrents are a fast (even with throttling) and reliable alternative.

Every interview here with a web savvy celebrity makes me anxious they'll get a little too curious. Drunk, maybe, late on a Friday. Alone, wondering what the a/v club thought. "Maybe they said something nice about me?" they wonder aloud (since they're alone and nobody's listening). "Maybe someone will appreciate the…

Very excited for this now
I listened to a couple of tracks on the Caldo Verde site, and while they were lovely I worried an album might not hold up. Like the modest mouse cover album, it was nice, but I never really listen to it anymore while the old RHP still gets pretty regular rotation.

The Party Down torrents were clean and fine. It might not be legal, but for anyone living outside of the U.S. it was the *only* way to view the show until the dvd's go on sale.

The Matt Reeves interview —somewhere around here, I think, or maybe at /film? Fuck I'm lazy. Anyhow, the interview with him made me believe that this will at least be faithful to the book (and seemingly the movie, too). Reeves seemed like a superfan. I'm solidly optimistic.

Sad sad sad.

I was just talking about the Ride/Lush show with a buddy the other day. Sorry, Kyle, but it's still in my top 5. The band were *so* young, it was their first tour over here, and I remember them hunched over their guitars just WHALING on them. Epic noise, all the good stuff up to Nowhere.

Mainstream McKeever?
I'm late to jump in here, but saying TM was toiling in the mainstream didn't make sense to me. I don't think I've seen his name on anything for almost a decade.

Sorry about the riot.

Joyce's mailing list
Since people around these parts are probably Pernice fans, I have to recommend you all sign up IMMEDIATELY to get on Joyce Linehan's Pernice Bros. mailing list. It's a thing of comedic genius. Why she's holed up running Ashmont records and not writing a novel is beyond me.

He's having plenty of gay sex outside of his movies

HATED it. It made me reevaluate all other indie movies negatively. It takes every tired, twee cliche and never lets go. I'm baffled why anyone would sit through it.

This thread is right on topic for me. On the weekend I spent $72 to get 4 cd's at my local indie store. I almost freaked on the cashier but he looked stoned so I didn't bother. $18 per cd. I've been holding out for years now, dutifully buying the physical copies, ripping them, then putting them on the shelf. I…
