Yeah most thrift stores seem to be full of clothes from Old Navy and Target now. I think the days of amazing vintage finds are long gone. Plus at least in big cities, anything interesting is going to get snapped up by vintage shops or even foreign buyers. An incredible amount of vintage clothes gets sent to Japan for

Reminds me of a short story involving the iBrain and a lot of dirty clown sex.

The "iPod" name and design is at least consistent with Steve Jobs' mission to make the world of 70s dystopian sci-fi a reality.

Yeah, okay, but… Don and Sylvia weren't exactly being careful and think of the dozens of times they DID get away with it. When two married people are caught cheating it's almost always going to be because a spouse, a kid or whoever shows up when they're not expected. Which means a break in routine or a series of

Remember "I support our troops" from like nine or ten years ago as the catch-all way for proud Americans to say they had no idea what was going on? This was the same thing.

The writing's always a little off, the sense of how important Canada actually is (and the size of its cities, and the dangers contained therein) is often very exaggerated. Maybe it has to do with how often Toronto and Vancouver sub for New

Yeah that's it. It's a roomful of some of the best television writers on the planet collectively saying "I got nothin'".

I can't get behind you on Veruca Salt, but I will throw some Breeders in the pile (particularly "Pod") as well as Throwing Muses, a whole record crate of women in shoegaze bands (Lush, Cranes, Sundays, Mazzy Star) and the Japanese Invasion (Pizzicato Five, Cibo Mato..)

To me, saying "female" implies he's not sure it's human.

"Freedom of 76" says you're wrong, and that's just one of a hundred awesome Ween songs, each completely different from the other.

It's been scientifically proven that the only thing rich people are really interested in is hunting humans for sport.

He was just in a series of erectile problem clinic ads here in L.A., which was just incredibly, incredibly depressing.

So this is going to happen in 2022? Things are going to change that much in 9 years?
