The similarities between the first few Decemberists albums and Neutral Milk Hotel extend far beyond "a nasally voice singing words with multiple syllables". It isn't mere coincidence that Colin Meloy sounds just like a cultishy-adored, instantly-recognizable singer like Jeff Mangum. Clearly the band was heavily…

Rakin' in grands & breakin' in mike stands
Let's all agree to buy this one, rather than just download it. Doom is a vital talent, and he deserves to be at least as rich as Diddy.

It's a miracle
How he gets so lyrical
And proceeds to move the crowd like an old negro spiritual

C'mon, Decemberists aren't that bad. In fact, they're arguably the greatest Neutral Milk Hotel tribute band of the oughts.

I don't know much about music theory, but I remember reading an interesting fact about Abbey Road. When "I Want You (She's So Heavy)" closes side one the music is abruptly cut off, leaving the melody unresolved. Turn the record over and "Here Comes The Sun" opens with the note that completes the melody.

Not only does "Madvillainy" benefit from a start-to-finish listen, it's almost impossible to fully appreciate otherwise. Likewise most great hip-hop records have an unmistakable flow.

Just saw this movie
…and it was tits. Truly haunting imagery.

The barbecue chicken was delicious.

The Room
"The Room" is like a fever dream one might suffer after falling asleep to late-night Skinemax. The random plotting, elliptical dialogue, and bizarre central performance from Tommy Wiseau all lend a hallucinatory feel.

Your being to harsh on them. There only trying for a first. Leave they're grammer a lone. But-heads.

Although I don't care for Juliette Lewis as an actress, I wouldn't advocate beating her to death with a tire iron. But hey, I'm not a misogynist.

Never tried it, hate the name
It's really annoying when some internet innovation with a ridiculous name takes hold and we're stuck with it. Twitter, Google — it sounds like we're talking goddamn teletubbies here! I don't care how addictive Twitter is, I am not a four-year-old so I won't be posting any "tweets".

Golly Gumdrops
There sure is a lot of hoopla surrounding this 50 Cents fellow of late. I suppose it's high time I checked out "How To Get Rich Or Die Trying". I just hope there's not a lot of swears, nor disrespecting women.

It's "One Nation Under A Groove", not "THE Groove". Geez, you white people.

Wow, I can't wait to see this!
I'm sure this pilot will get picked up, enjoyed by millions of viewers for years, and eventually released in an exhaustive "Community: The Complete Series" multi-Blu-ray set!

The original film
I'm a pretty big horror fan, but I could never get into the whole rape/revenge subgenre. I can handle disgusting gore, but brutal rape scenes really turn my stomach. I'm not condemning any Last House on the Left fans, I'm just sayin'.

.38 Special
"Caught Up In You" is prominently featured in the 80's T&A obscurity Spring Break (Sean S. Cunningham's follow-up to Friday the 13th), and I can't hear the song without thinking of the movie. I advise you to avoid this film, unless you want your favorite song (a questionable pick, to put it nicely) to…

Grammar is for dorks.

Whom are you calling a "nerd", you neanderthal? [pushes glasses back on nose, swigs from Pepto Bismol bottle, wipes mouth with back of hand]

If you guys like horror movies, make sure to check out the SAW series. For sheer terror those movies can't be topped!
