This column isn't "gateway to genres" it's "gateway to geekery" And the Northern Soul scene is the definition of musical geekery.

La Roux is awesome… but not appreciably more ass-shaking than Lady Gaga. Lady Gaga, I'm pretty confident, is doing exactly what she wants to be doing.

This is sensible
Because playing an LA benefit in Haiti would be tasteless.

I always assumed that some time had passed between Sara being taken into the ER and the shock treatment.

I think this is the only time
I haven't watched the video clips in an avclub article.

I like to believe I started the my little pony trend.

That moment
Between Jack and Chloe where she's all "are you fucking serious? you're not going to do me a favor? when I've done you like a million?" and then Jack walks away was the only worthwhile moment in the whole two hours for me. Although that was quite nice.

I dreamed I saw Phil Ochs last night…

Yeah. The thing that confuses me is how hard it is to sell to Whedon fans. I've had so many "you loved firefly? try this!" conversations that ended with the other person not watching dollhouse. I don't get it.

I hope so. And I hope they show that it's the right decision for her.

My wife, who is an incredibly hot math professor, considers Danica McKellar something of a nemesis. It's kinda awesome.

The iditarod

Youth in Revolt
Haven't read the book. But I didn't really enjoy this movie because

Small Mercies
That "so you had a bad day" song isn't on the list. That's nice. Cos I heard that crap on the radio way too much.
