@avclub-b750f74544cb00c138079607276995e9:disqus , I think a lot of people dislike Baumbach because he writes mostly about a very specific, privileged class of people. But there's nothing wrong with that, and he's very, very good at it. We actually had to turn of The Squid and the Whale when I was watching it with my…

I think season 1 gets way more derision that it deserves… sure, the the Bud Manstrong episode is terrible and they still haven't found a way to make him funny, but after the episode where they introduce Orpheus there are way more hits than misses. The last five in particular are season 2 quality, and where they really…

Forget it, @avclub-bc68599029928a93ff775e686c3be325:disqus . It's Alpha Quadrant.

Do Hot Topic kids still exist? I haven't been to a mall in New Jersey in a while, but it would be kind of funny if people are still hanging on to that shit.

Well now I'm envisioning a Freaky Friday scenario where Bradford Cox and Justin Bieber switch bodies.

That reminds me, I'm due for a re-read. *cracks open Howard Zinn's A Peeple's History of Fuck*

You could mistake all the growling for typical metalcore vocals, but the singer is actually always in character as Aslan.

Kanye writes all his beats in WordStar on DOS. What have you done with your life?

And it can take my breast cancer with it!

@avclub-4f18f486a356810b3ef8008243bcba7a:disqus , I'm not sure if I don't understand what was happening or if I subconsciously refuse to understand what was happening.

Primer was all about taking a pulpy concept and giving it an artsy-fartsy makeover, so I watched Upstream Color as sort of an extreme continuation of that concept — the artsy parts are twice as fartsy, and the pulpy parts are twice as ridiculous. So in that context, I thought it was kinda neat. Though it's also…

This is beyond.

And "mammary".

"June Eighteen" is just what "Juwanna Mann" sounds like through autotune.

There is a (social media) site that never goes out

God that was so stupid

@avclub-cf656d2c9c1d81572b2d192333d5b046:disqus I didn't mean to imply that he's singing straight-up hardcore vocals, but every song I've listened to so far has featured him just yelling the chorus. I also think his normal delivery has that sort of flat, nuance-less quality where you can tell it's been sand-blasted by…

It's the kind of sentence that requires 5 minutes to parse the syntax, but a lifetime to understand what the fuck it's talking about.

Yeah decided to try it out, but I couldn't get past the second track on England Keep My Bones. Also, I'm not sure why I would want to listen to this kind of music with terrible shouty hardcore vocals. It's kind of like a parody of "anthemic" rock music.
