Ah, the dreaded random-shuffle-playlist-during-sex conundrum; it's killed quite a few romantic evenings in our house. Different songs like "The Call of Ktulu", Kenny Loggins' "Playing With The Boys", and "Black Steel in the Hour of Chaos" were among the most notable boner killers.

The Inquirer does this article once or twice a decade.

Quome back soon!

I honestly feel like people place too much importance on these songs, one way or the other. Regardless of what Henley's aspirations were for the song (if he even had any), it's a goofy pop song! It's the kind of thing you hear while eating wing dings at an Applebee's with your family on a Saturday afternoon, and you…

I think of Real Genius every time I have to hammer a six-inch nail through a board with my penis.

Yeah, yeah, this is all awesome, where's the write-up? It's not officially an episode for me without Donna's write-up.

Business a little slow this month? Fuck you, pay me. Aw, place got hit by lightning, huh? Fuck you, pay me.

"Allentown" is the only one I can even think of to address the rest of the state, and that's still only 40 miles up the turnpike. There are plenty of great Philly songs; not so many great PA songs. Oh, to live in a state that actually generates some kind of feeling, one way or another!

Cool, man!

This weekend was all about the records… I found a first pressing of King Creole in great shape, complete with commemorative photo; found a UK second pressing of Abbey Road; a demo version of Heroes"; and an original mono pressing of Time Out.  Got 'em all for around 50 bucks. I was quite satisfied.

Can anybody tell me what just happened, preferably in past tense?

♫ Any Dinklage does and a Harrington will do
Plus a Clarke, a Dance, a Headly…
Well, you've got to have those too
But a Coster-Waldau will also cost
And the head of a Bean will sadly be lost
Red Weddings, beheadings and a shitload of frost
Ere a Game of Thrones is through ♫

Wrestlemania, no way!!

Okay, take one Peter Dinklage—wait, you don't have a Peter Dinklage? A Game of Thrones isn't worth shit without a Peter Dinklage.

True, but then you have to actually reload, can't just press the pink square button. That's a deal breaker for me.

I just did my annual reviewing, actually made it all the way through S4 this time. Previously, I'd skipped ahead to five, it was just too heartbreaking (which of course made the nasty S5 revisit with Randy even worse).

This is one of the sadder parts of the Video-on-Demand thing to me, that guys like Terrence Malick and De Palma—guys whose work really needs to be seen in a theater for maximum impact—have lately been relegated to the small screen except for limited theatrical engagements. Is that better than not having the work at…

At least he's fascinated with all the right parts, not just the piggly-wigglies.

I would love to catch up on some video games, which are probably the weakest aspect of my pop culture knowledge. Not that I dislike them, but I can never make the necessary investment in time and/or money to keep up with my friends whom are unmarried and don't have kids. I've only just started playing Mass Effect 2, Fa…
