When you get what you want, you feel great

The World Champion Chicago Cubs?

The press release is also delicious and it includes this poorly edited nugget:
"Case in point is one critic from AV Club called the director an 'evangelical shlockmeister'."

He gave II two stars and I and III 3-1/2. His Wet Hot review was preposterous though, I'll give you that.

And Xanthippe Voorheers!

Breakfast bagels?

Morgan Murphy

Okay, but the 23rd most notable release on April 1 is Robbie Fulks's new one. He's good.

I thought Laura Linney and Mark Ruffalo were great as siblings in You Can Count on Me.

Terriers
Futurama

Totally agree. I can't even recommend any of his records, really, just individual songs here and there. And yet, he's one of my favorite live acts around. Same way with another Chicago artist on Bloodshot, JC Brooks & the Uptown Sound.

I always thought that the fact that he couldn't come up with "invincible principal" was part of the joke, but I could be wrong.

Velvets
To me, the correct answer is the Velvet Underground, with partial credit for the Beach Boys. The real question is who is the fifth greatest rock & roll band after the Beatles, the Rolling Stones, the Velvet Underground, and the Clash. I wish it were Nirvana—that would just make so much sense—but they're just

"Camp of Approval"? What does that even mean?

Loved the voice. Loved "'Believe in the stars.' It's like that doesn't even mean anything anymore." Loved the drug warning ("May cause dizziness, sexual nightmares, and sleep crime").

Gates McFadden
Dr. Crusher on Star Trek. Embarrassing.
Natalie Portman in Everyone Says I Love You. Not at all embarrassing.
