Who's excited for the Replacements reunion??

What about SNL?? Oh wait…
I know the last round of these didn't get a lot of comments. But I am very happy these exist.
Admit it.
Man, Gilbert WAS a generous laugher. TO maybe an extreme level. Still, the "I'd eat her asshole for Muscular Distrophy" but was pretty amazing. I wish the "important comedians" thing had coalesced a little better, but you have to admit those clips of Hicks and Garofolo were insufferable.
Yeah, Flaherty was telling a story where he was talking to a guy who had just worked with Moranis and Flaherty asked him how Rick was doing and the guy said, "Oh you know, still an asshole."
Well that's simply not true. Loved Goon, but Slap Shot works like a real movie as well as a dumb comedy.
So you know guys who have glaringly false southie accents and are an incredible chore to be around AND you find them funny?
I like Baruchel, but he's far and away the worst part of Goon. Nearly ruined the whole film.
Goon is fantastic, but Baruchel is awful in it.
If it's Nick Drake, it's more Fives Leaves Left or Bryter Later than Pink Moon.
I think he did, but I feel like he's trying to prove it on Sea Change. It rings false to me. The sadsack act is not an indicator of artistic growth.
Exactly. I don't deny that there are great songs here, but it's the same note pounded over and over again. It's a pretty good album for falling asleep to and some of the songs can be effective to play during a massage, but as an album it's the definition of a slog.
Ah yes, Sea Change, the Beck album for people who think one gains depth by strapping on an acoustic guitar and being SERIOUS. God, I wish this album had a dynamic outside of "Gordon Lightfoot-mode"
I've been hearing a lot of talk about the vocals being a major setback, both from non-metal fans who generally have a pretty narrow view of how vocals should sound and metal guys like Adrien Begrand who think the vocals are too reductive and childish. I'm pretty comfortable with the vocals. They're screechy, but not…
Good one.
My kids love that song, like crazy. They're three and five, so I have to quickly turn it off before the "tazed me in the butthole" part.
I think only two or three of the songs off this album have appeared on SNL.
I am not wack, no matter what you say. What did you say? Did you say I'm wack?
Coldplay, Phoenix.
