I met and spoke to Janet for a little bit when Quasi came to a nearby college town last year, and even got to photograph the show for them. She's totally cool in real life, and still utterly ferocious to this day behind a drum kit.

I'd upvote this a million times if I could.

I clicked through to that Onion article expecting to see something funny but sort of vaguely related, like something in the general "Overstock launches something inappropriate" vein, but…damn, no, it's basically verbatim what they're actually doing now.

This album's fantastic. The more I listen, the more I find things to love about it - the title track, "A New Wave," "Price Tag," etc. etc. on top of the stellar songs that came out ahead of time. Love it.

We already know from a previous article that Marah thinks "The Woods" is "just okay."

Brian's solo career is…odd, no doubt about it. Not entirely successful (apart from "Smile"), but there have been some gems here and there for sure.

I think "Stars and Stripes" is pretty terrible, but the Wille Nelson "Warmth of the Sun" sticks out as a nice exception.

Praising "Stars and Stripes, Vol. 1?" Come on, now.

Exactly. See also "The Room," "Plan 9," "Manos," etc.

These movies try way, way too hard. Bad movies are best when they shoot for greatness and achieve some kind of transcendent weird terribleness instead.

That would be "Insurrection," which…yeah.

It's nice that we've got an ultimate arbiter of all design here to tell us how wrong we all are, huh?

To be fair, on the grand sliding scale of sci-fi accuracy, the Abrams films makes any worst moment of realism in any previous incarnation look like a NASA JPL engineering paper.

Yeah, if the TOS remasters had been really detailed, it would have thrown everything off. I'm actually glad they kept the simpler aesthetic.

Yeah, the TOS remasters are a perfect example of how to update something the *right* way - they look great, but they don't look *inappropriate.* Compare & contrast with the Star Wars special editions, which just beat you in the face constantly with LOOK AT THIS 1997 CGI OMG OMG LOOK AT IT despite it looking terrible…

Yeah, I think it's ingrained in a lot of such places' DNA that they're still a part of the good ol' post-war suburban American Dream and doing their part to help squash Communism, rather than being viewed as fodder for This Is Why You're Fat.

There's a local hipster coffee shop/bar/restaurant (which looks like a Pinterest bomb went off in an Urban Outfitters) here that's also sort-of associated with a local megachurch (who's on a lot of people's lists for slowly swallowing up a lovely pre-war central city neighborhood for MOAR PARKING), and they say that…

This is one of the most "filler-y" GJ,I!s yet.

This is utter, glorious madness.

I remember, back in the before time, in the long, long ago, there was a cable channel called "Speedvision," and around midnight on Saturdays they'd show an auto-themed old movie (good, bad, serious, insanely stupid - didn't matter to them, which is how you'd have "Grand Prix" or "Le Mans" one week and "The Car" or…
