On one hand, John Darnielle's been putting out albums at a fairly consistent clip, and I guess he's got the right to do what he wants with his free time. I'm just slightly disappointed that this is it.

"Chewie winced, rubbing his jaw at the point where it had already begun to swell.

Recently, one of the descriptors I got simply read "Exciting Movies." The first 4 selections were GI Joe: Retaliation, The Avengers, Turbo, and Skyfall.

Truly, it is the modern-day Rango.

When Butler finally goes bald, his transformation into Billy Corgan 2.0 will be complete.

But "Mummer's Dragon" doesn't necessarily mean "fake Dragon, played by a Mummer." It could mean "Dragon being controlled by a Mummer," and we all know why Varys is so good at disguising himself.

And about how Stannis has insufficient respect for the finer points of the criminal world, or something like that.

I fucking hate that Rockets team because I was living in Arizona at the time, and if there was ever a time Phoenix was going to win a championship, it was those two years. And both years, the Rockets stopped us in heartbreaking games.

In high school, I volunteered in a teen court system for minors who had shoplifted less than $100 in merchandise, were first-time offenders, and had agreed to plead guilty. Me and the other volunteers would work as defending and prosecuting lawyers, presenting the evidence to a jury of fellow students and bringing up…

I'm surprised how good each of these songs sound covered by the other band. I always thought that the best part of "Constructive Summer" was its driving intensity, but Deer Tick's more laid-back approach really works too.

"Mrs. Fields files precautionary restraining order against Cookie Monster."

Possibly, though Millar is a Scot and therefore not one of Cap's countrymen. Doesn't stop the line from being a perfect stupid 80s-action-hero comeback.
