Now that I think about it, A 2023 version of this site will probably just be a picture of O'Neal's face.
Seriously though, I live near the Barclays Center, so I hopefully will get tickets to see that.

I hate that I wasn't able to get into the discussion about the National from a few weeks ago until today… didn't know that article existed and that everyone was saying "OOH I love their songs!" and making jokes about the song lyrics.

I love The National. Started getting into them around last year with the albums everyone knows (i.e., HV and Boxer), and now I'm really starting to listen to Sad Songs and Alligator (I haven't listened to the self-titled debut yet).

No love for " in what is proving to be its second-most controversial invasion"?

As soon as I heard about this, I thought "I really hope Sean O'Neal writes the AV Club article."
He did, and it was AWESOME. Great job.

And Josh Pence will be the stand-in for Jackie Robinson.
