So can we assume this guy got the singing gig in Witch because J Mascis's voice was too polished and pleasant?

I was actually having more fun doing work than reading this.

I'm more than a little worried that Lana Del Ray's fameball is going to become so fucking huge it will consume us all.

Or just a limited monthly DVD-by-mail add-on.  There's some stuff I want to watch that's never going to be streaming, but if I could pay a couple of bucks extra for, say, 2 DVDs by mail every month (hell, even a la carte DVDs would be better) they would get a few extra bucks out of me, not to mention some of the…

Leave Demi alone!

You're referring to the Andrew Sullivan piece?  No, I didn't read it.

I made a juggalo.

Last night I was messing around with my girlfriend's new Roku and I found out that Coolio has a cooking show.  It's a weird and fantastic sensation to watch Coolio make a Caprese salad.

What Selieri said.  That dude is the perfect visual representation of how Axe body spray smells. Also - watching him cook while wearing so much man jewelry fills me with inexplicable rage.  For fuck's sake, take off the thumb ring and Harley-Davidson tennis bracelet at least until the sliders are done.

If it was on Showtime it would outlive us all.

RABIN: Gosh, Dr. Robuttnik, I guess the real meaning of Christmas isn't "Fuck you, Jew" after all.  I sure have learned a lot here at the North Pole… if only there was some way I could get back to the AV Club to give these Community-themed dreidels to all my friends.

I enjoy her Yelp reviews.

Remember that tribute to Jack Johnson Ken Burns made a few years back?  I'd rather watch that than this.

How does this compare to the Bob Dylan Looney Tunes album? I consider his "Kill Da Wabbit" to be the definitive version.

Avoiding the main characters like Vimes, Moist Von Lipwig and Death…

Discworld books have been my palate cleanser books for years - the ones I reach for after finishing something that was a slog and/or not easy to read.  I love that there's so many of them- I've read a few every year for almost a decade and I still don't think I'm halfway through.  They're also really easy to find for…

Not the beginning.  If I had started at the beginning I almost certainly would have wondered what all the fuss was about and quit.  If you're already into fantasy it might work but if wizards and shit don't float your boat, the first few books are going to be dull and cheesy.  I'd say pick a book with a theme you're…

I would definitely call Moving Pictures a lesser book because it seemed like Pratchett came up with that (admittedly great) scene and then tried to figure out some way to write a book around it.

I'm surprised Jingo is on so many people's lists.  It's one of only three Discworld books I actively disliked (the other two were Moving Pictures and Monsterous Regimen).  I won't list my top five because I actually do hate making lists.
