Headline-nitpick alert: Foods? Is the "s" necessary?

My guilty-pleasure cheap-frozen-pizza of choice is Jack's. Or Tony's.

Grocery-store mircowavable White Castle —- ooh yeah. …. if you're too far removed from the real restaurant locations.

Swap Simon & Garfunkel and "Never Mind the Bollocks" for two Sloan albums, Sly and The Family Stone’s Greatest Hits and 3 draft picks. Consider it the Herschel Walker Trade of album collecting, “Letter S” version.

Keeping 11 Pearl Jam? Kept 11 New Order and god knows how many Modest Mouse (was it 12?). I could list my 25 favorite bands/artists of all time and if push came to shove, I wouldn't keep more than 5 of any.

Re: Tom Petty — trade at least a dozen albums to acquire "Hypnotic Eye." (Don't trade Petty albums for it — 12 or so from your non-Petty "Keep" collection.)

Keeping 11 of New Order? You must not want to thin-out the collection much.

Yeah — 12 Modest Mouse keepers? One or two would suffice. Pick any one or two, and that's probably enough.

Now that you've purged a few L's, that makes room for The Long Ryders and Los Lobos.

Good move to keep "Car Button Cloth." … has some gunk, but worth it for "The Outdoor Type" and "Tenderfoot" alone (plus the first 2 tracks).

"Adaptation" should be No. 1 (or definite top-10 at minimum.) Glad to see "Best in Show" in top 5.

Definite top-10 Sloan song for me. Probably top 5.

So much to say about this album … you can get really specific with Sloan's catalog. … The coda to "A Side Wins" rules.

"The Good in Everyone" is among the best album-starters in rock history.

Take this, brother, may it serve you well. … If … you become naked …

That 45-at-33 'Tuber page has AC/DC Back in Black slowed by 25%. That's almost redundant. Convert it from 33 to 45. I wanna hear AC/DC closer to thrash-band speed. Use a little creativity. The RPM switch moves both ways (AC/DC pun unintended).

Then, if you keeping Folding It….

Just spotted this article. I'm sure someone beat me to this already, but I did this s*** all the time back in the variable-speed phonograph days. If only the Net had been around back in 1972, when I needed it!

It's an early-morning Big Salad.

No, it truly IS a Porsche (fantasizing that it's a Ferrari).
