It's not my fault that I know horrible people.  I can assure you that I am pretty much perfect, though.

I demand that this site stop posting articles about Mumford and Sons.  That being said, since the article exists, I will now discuss my personal music tales because I believe they shine a light on the universe.  Two girls I know (one ex-girlfriend, one former friend) both continuously gushed over how "beautiful" and

Why not just skip all of the movies leading up to this and release it two years sooner?  I know THEY'RE ALL TIED TOGETHERS and crap like that, but I could have gone into 'Avengers' cold and not lost a beat.  Powerful box thing opens portal, bad guys get through, random heroes get together, bicker, are united in the

Grargh, this is tough.  I have little kid nostalgia for both 'Jaws' and 'Jurassic Park.' Seeing 'Jurassic Park' in the theater for the first time as a seven-year old was movie-going nirvana.  As for 'Jaws,' it took a long long time before I actually saw the whole thing.  I would always sneak downstairs for a stretch

Yes.  Young Spielberg had not yet been infected by the need to manipulate through blatant sentimentality.  ONE OF THE KIDS GETS EATEN.  He was too busy pushing our primal terror buttons.  Not that I'm knocking him too much for the sentimentality.  I love Spielberg and think he can put on a show as well as anybody.

Noooo, that's a great song.  I can understand not loving it, but you think it's an outright  bad song?  What about it is bad?  It's marred by schmaltzy production on the original album release, but Macca's cleaned up version off 'Let it Be…Naked' is shimmering in beauty.

Bad songs?  I don't think The Beatles ever recorded a bad song outside of "Revolution 9" (the only Beatles song that I actively make a point of skipping every time).  They recorded some lightweight songs, some inconsequential songs, a few vaguely throwaway ditties, some filler pop, but bad songs?  No.  As for 'Let it

Boy howdy do I love "Hey Bulldog."

I agree with it for the most part as well.  I am all about album integrity.  That being said, if it's a mixed bag of an album, I have no problem skipping lackluster tracks, even if it's from an artist I love.  That's assuming I have the verve to get up off the futon and walk to the stereo to skip.  Most days, I do not
