See you at the dance tent.

Some guy from Blender (remember that?) listened to "We Built This City" 324 times in a single day:
This list was really more about anticipating generic festival-related criticisms rather than making them myself.
I'll save you some time:
I would settle for "mixed in a way that doesn't include substantial audible clipping."
God I hope he busts out with his "put it on my tab" catch phrase for one last hurrah.
I'm sorry, I just don't think I can bear to be in the same physical space with a 5'8" mountain of extreme masculinity and dangerous sexuality as projected by Jorma Taccone through his "Girls" character. I don't think I would ever recover from feeling so inadequate relative to another man.
They're back doing a podcast together now, but from the episodes I heard, it might as well be called "Adam Carolla Repeats His Rich Guy Rants You've Heard in Ten Other Formats While Dr. Drew Listens."
Nah, this dude being a Zach Braff superfan/apologist is punishment enough.
Even worse OKC bombing tribute: someone took audio clips from news reports of the bombings, and spliced them into "Lightning Crashes" by Live, which was on the charts at that time. The OKC version actual got pretty significant airplay. Absolutely dire … so enjoy!:

I swear they played that twice an hour on the lite rock station they pumped into the administrative office I worked at as part of my work-study financial aid.

I assume Tyler will respond to this criticism with his default "but I'm friends with Frank Ocean" defense.
Nathan, I'll add to all of the other messages of appreciation by your readers. I've really enjoyed reading this feature over the years. Good work and godspeed.
The real question is, what formerly also-ran comic will latch on to "nerd culture," not shut up about it, and be given hosting duties for the wrap-up show for Hardwick's talk show?
"The Amazing, Amazing Show With Chris-Amaz Hardwick-Ing"
Ke$ha didn't return the favor by making a guest appearance on this one?
The nice thing is that the "altered present-day" scenes have already been shot. Abrams can just plug in footage from the Biff-dominated alternate 1985 in BACK TO THE FUTURE II.

There are some episodes up on YouTube, which I reviewed recently to confirm my "Girls Is a Ripoff of Austin Stories" theory. I felt validated … there's even a scene where the female protagonist has an impromptu dance party with a friend in her bedroom.
