I need to listen to the latter-day songs from your list, since the earlier-day ones you listed are also among my favorites. (Also, "All the Things That Go to Make Heaven and Earth" is the only song from Challengers that left a distinct impression on me.)

Well, your opinion is bad and you should feel bad.

I think I’m gonna be dead, I think it’s today
Electric wires into my head, I’m frying away
I’ve got a ticket to ride, I’ve got a ticket to ride
I’ve got a ticket to ride the lightning, yeah

Here's twelve:

Yeah, I was just really "meh" on Challengers and then I haven't spent much time on their newer releases.

Electric Version is my #3 after Twin Cinema and Mass Romantic— I couldn't really get into Challengers, and haven't tried that much since. The sound is a little different than Mass Romantic or Twin Cinema, but I think Electric Version still has a lot of good songs.

Wasn't "Use It" in an episode of The Office? I feel like Jim is listening to it at some point.

"Letter From an Occupant" and "Sing Me Spanish Techno" are my favorites, but my list will make room for "Mass Romantic," "Centre For Holy Wars," "The New Face of Zero and One," "Use It," and "Jackie, Dressed in Cobras."

It's my favorite, but Mass Romantic is very close. I genuinely think they're both top-10 albums of the 00s.

It isn't "Sounds large"? You know, because it's the "Electric Version"?

"It's so beautifully scripted it seems completely unscripted."

I'm not the only one who can see Scott Walker entering as "Well it took a lot of work to be the ass I am, and now I'm really damn sure that anyone can, equally, easily fuck you over" plays, am I?

Why didn't he pick something more appropriate, like Modest Mouse's "Dark Center of the Universe?"

"It doesn't take any talent to make music, why should I pay this jerk for something I could have done myself?"

I think of W. as the G.O.B., i.e. the one who inexplicably took Michael's job and proved totally incompetent since all he wanted to do was have a good time.

Beatallica is awesome.

And my point is, no matter which show you use, you gloss over everything that makes those shows different from Girls to make your point. And you make no point as to why exactly Girls' depiction of "self important people" is compelling enough to watch.

Aw, that's disappointing. I'd forgotten they never finished it. I wonder if they ever will.

That's upside down, Chief.

I won't say I hate it, but I will say there's a lot of stuff in this episode that seems like it comes from a different, lesser show.
