Yeah, something like that, maybe conviction that you need to live a positive life.

Counterpoint: Jangle pop is an overly optimistic view of life.

Barton Fink is the movie that definitely changed my life, in that it inspired me to quit taking myself so damn seriously.

So that's how you pronounce "Biz Markee." I was saying it all wrong.

You might even say that writing inane spam all day is a step up from working at yahoo!

Yeah, I don't think they should be able to lie and say that evidence exists when it does not, or that somebody else is implicating you. Seems pretty blatantly unjust.

WHO CARES
I DON'T CARE
A HORSESUHRRASS IS BETTER THAN YOURS

I know! It's so crazy that it's going to be musical, i.e. a dramatic production in which a significant portion is singing and/or dancing!

Loud guitars would be cool, I guess. Imagine if they got heavier than they ever were, like all Glenn Branca and shit.

Don't worry, yourtownisnext. Your town is next.

Heh, I just googled the most tempestuous love of my high school years the other day. Her picture came up and my gut reaction was a definite "meh, I don't see what all the fuss was about." It was pretty satisfying to know for sure that I no longer give a shit.

Yeah, I thought that the book's young adult orientation really came through at the end. The way I figured it, he wanted to play with the "you have no idea who that online persona really is" idea, but didn't want to imply any kind of love triangle, so boom, she's a lesbian.

Brian Jonestown Massacre, "Nevertheless"

Point of Disgust?

Erasure, "A Little Respect"

(It is the autobiographical meaning of "Someone Great." Was supposed to be an intentionally mangled reference but I guess it didn't work. Everybody makes mistakes…)

I'm pretty sad and disoriented now that my therapist is dead!

It seems like the key to winning would be to imagine some really negative scenario, like Larry the Cable Guy had sex with your significant other. Then his wacky antics would only make you mad.

Yeah, it seems to be a collage of other people's music, or something. We hear "Uptown Funk" towards the end. He's pretty blatantly playing along to a canned track.

…GNR…
Yeah, you tuned in like three or four years too late. Off the top of my head I seem to remember it being about Ozzy, then Van Halen, then Crue, then GNR.
