    Oh, those 13-year-old French schoolboys, all sitting down to read the opinion column of a conservative political commentator at the exact same time.

    I recently re-watched the second Matrix movie, and realized that, despite the several mind-blowing action sequences (and the one action sequence that starts off mind-blowing and then turns into a PS3 game), the script was literally just "the characters go to this place, Neo has a conversation, there is a fight. Then

    Except for all the polyamorous people complaining that, because this movie is showing a particular group of characters who are unable to sustain a polyamorous relationship in the long run, it is therefore saying that all polyamorous relationships end in failure. I mean, look how The 40-Year-Old Virgin took the time to

    As a milquetoast income earner, I can confirm that we're pretty awesome.

    Between this and the young-looking Fantastic Four, it looks like everyone's basically trying to adapt the Ultimate Universe now. Even if they don't cast Miles Morales, a Spider-Man series that focuses mostly on high school would be exactly in the vein of the pre-MM Ultimate Spider-Man.

    I'm calling it now: Coach gets into a serious relationship with the girl he met tonight, and then she gets a job somewhere else, and he actually moves with her as a counterpoint to Jess, who tries to stay in long-distance limbo with Ryan. It would be the first time a sitcom character has actually moved to a new city

    I loved the political stuff in "Pie-Mary," but am afraid it may be retroactively ruined by the sort of Facebook friends who think Obvious Child was a "brave" movie for having an abortion subplot in it (there was a movie written and directed by Ed Burns in the 90s that had a non-judgy abortion subplot in it- it's not

    What do you want to bet that if Kanye went in for an audit, he would immediately become a huge Scientology guy? Jay-Z has probably hired two guys to make sure this never happens.

    Given that Kanye wouldn't have a career had Jay-Z not resurrected his own career in the early 00s, Kanye should probably give all his awards to whoever made all those great beats on The Blueprint.

    Based on the above article, it's because he didn't actually crash the speech or say anything- he walked up to the mic, pulled his hand up like he'd almost touched a hot stove, and walked away shaking his head, like he was thinking "No, Kanye, you talked about this to your counselor." It was a bit of silent comedy that

    You can actually see him shaking his head "no"as Kanye walks up, but it's a sort of unconscious impulse- he's not trying to communicate anything, he's just thinking "nononoohthankgod."

    His 4 songs on the Scott Pilgrim soundtrack should be near the top as well. Just think of it as an EP.

    Dammit, I love Guero and while Modern Guilt is pretty inessential, it's an album I can listen to when a family member is in the car, which is an important asset.

    Ah, my mistake- lots of the commenters here seem to be into 90s rock at least partly because it's what was playing when they were teenagers and went to college, and I assumed that was the case with your comment, mostly because your description of music from 2000-2015 is basically how I feel about music from the last

    Or when they do a unique take on the material- I've seen at least one Barenaked Ladies show where they play "One Week" completely unplugged, without any of the guitar effects or backing keyboards, and it turns into a fun little folk song.

    Maybe the last 5 years, but the last 15? Sorry, I turned 14 in 2000, so that decade's like my 90s. I still unironically listen to Jet's first album, and do a pretty good job of convincing myself that I like it for itself, not because I associate it with that period in 2003-04 that had Wolfmother, The Hives, The

    I think it's because, regardless of the actual objective amount of rockin' going on, you can tell that this particular lead singer is rocking out about as hard as he can- he hits the plosive syllables so hard you can practically hear the spit bouncing off the microphone, and it comes right after a slow draggy bit

    The Crash Test Dummies probably have the most underappreciated harmonica player of any band that had a hit single- also, the only harmonica player I can think of who isn't also the lead singer.

    Let's not forget all the ones about drug addicts who come from broken homes and found each other but the world is against them, and they could just be happy if everyone would leave them alone (and let them continue to use drugs).

    To that anonymous douchebag's credit, that's always a song that seemed like it required some actual guitar playing know-how*, but yeah, that's the douchiest possible way to present it (and probably exactly what Oberst says every time he plays it live).
