wtf's a tusk, lol

Credit for not taking the easy way out on this and finding a decent song by a good actor.  I probably would've just gone with a Bowie or Jagger track.

The Quincy punk rock episode will not be your escape goat, man.

The intro to "Comedown" is in my imaginary playlist of "best portions of songs I don't need to hear all the way through," along with the last chorus/close of Stellastarr's "Jenny" and the final rampup/breakdown of The New Pornographers' "The Bleeding Heart Show."

No one appreciates the deep cuts.

50 is the new 16?

It's worth it until about 28.  Once you hit 30, you have a lot more money to play with but a lot less time in which to play, so it's basically a wash.

That was pretty funny, though.

The mastery of voice in this comment is spectacular.

Maybe he…

Maybe he swam away.

"You get a dance routine, some backing dancers, cobble together a package of 4 club bangers, four ballads and a sprinkling of "I'm every woman" inspirational bullshit that can be a mixture of the first two, get some LA session hacks to do their thing and you have a Beyonce album. "

Wow. Don't know how Aaliyah or Tina Turner got pulled into this, but it sounds like you may just not like R&B. Every genre of music has its codes and requirements: it seems odd to denigrate R&B for sounding like R&B.

@avclub-aaa82ffa8ebba271a7f30e2b2bfa180e:disqus is partially right, but it's a question of perception.  The show is decidedly soapy and over the top (it's an ABC drama), and is prone to a lot of CSI-type "I'll program a GUI in Visual Basic" nonsense because of the resident weirdo-spook (the hispanic guy from…

"Two good tracks that just won everybody over"

Isn't this precisely why the iTunes "Complete Your Album" option exists?

The production is interesting but not novel.  Good for an eardrum massage if you listen through headphones.  The song's kinda overall, to be honest.  I choose to believe it's a "good enough to get some attention" first single, to be followed with the real business once he's sure radio hasn't forgotten him.

@avclub-7d26c14b4a096a0afc48154974c4b7d6:disqus He makes a dramatic decision with full knowledge of its meaning, and the moments leading up to it make it explicit that he's been thoroughly affected by the events leading up to the point of that decision.  It's much more than altruistic, and is pretty much the most…

It's not my business at all, but the fact is people want their stars to be talented AND humble AND uninterested in acclaim BUT genuinely moved when their talent is recognized.

Schultz's treatment of Django as an equal isn't an afterthought:  it's initially tied into his own mercenary interests (at least at the point where the issue is first raised).  It goes into my biggest issue with the film.  The movie goes to great lengths to expressly tie Django into the tradition of "epic hero" —…
