I just bought Still Country. It's definitely better than Van Lear Rose. Great singing, great songs, solid country production, and not a single gimmick. It's a proper Loretta Lynn album, and it's pretty spectacular.

Here's a question: how many times has putting an old-ass musician in a punk/rock context actually worked? I can think of one time:

Before we go giving Jack White credit for rediscovering her or some shit…
Recall that Wanda Jackson did an album 7 years ago that was also an attempt to make her sound punker/more contemporary/reboot her career, featuring The Cramps, Elvis Costello, Dave Alvin, and Rosie Flores.

I just listened to this in the car.
It kicks fucking ass. I used to not get this band, but now I do. Easily their best work.

I love every second of the sprawl and bizarre genre experiments on Sandinista. There are maybe two actual songs on it I don't like - Junkie Slip and Crooked Beat. Calling it abysmal is a shame to me.

London Calling is basically perfect. In a perfect world, Lover's Rock and Train and Vain could have been a non-album single and swapped out on the LP for Armagideon Time, but that's still nitpicking.

Train in Vain, I mean.

I never did like it. Sub-disco pop, middling pop songwriting, and absolutely no edge distinguishing it as a "Clash" song.

I know a lot of people don't like Revolution Rock, but I love it. Better album closer than Train in Vain, I think.

I dunno, maybe it just seems more horrible than it is in the context of the album's quality. Maybe Junkie Slip off Sandinista is worse. I'm more forgiving of Sandinista's weird songs than other people are. And I even like Red Angel Dragnet on Combat Rock.

The Clash.
Lover's Rock. The worst fucking song they ever wrote in the middle of what's probably their best album.

The godawful Gwyneth Paltrow country music trailer made me actually groan aloud. First, the worst fucking cover of "Silver Wings" I've ever heard, second, Gwyneth pretending to be an alcoholic even though she looks like a 40-year-old Taylor Swift doing a Faith Hill impression. Because lots of female country singers

"True Clit," starring Booster Cockburst.

I just saw it and it's completely amazing and it was pretty much like having an orgasm after you've had the flu for a couple weeks or were too hungover yesterday.

I first saw this as a kid when I broke my leg and had a concussion. I was completely tripping on painkillers and watched it three or four times.

Point of Clarification: My inability to see this film until tomorrow night is like having a sexual fetish that cannot be fulfilled. As Mr. Caballero pointed out, it is much like jacking off without achieving orgasm.

I will continue to pretend to be outraged.

At least it's better than Hot Tub Time Machine!
You little bastards. Can't believe that made the list instead of obvious shit like this.

OH FUCKING SHIT
I WANT TO SEE THIS MOVIE SO BAD IT'S ALMOST UPSETTING IN A SEXUALLY FETISHISTIC WAY

Anyone who talks shit about Archer is a bad person, but I agree about Community.
