I doubt that it's his real speaking voice. Dude is from California talking and singing like a Leon Redbone Jr

No thanks to M Ward and Jenny Lewis' hokey and diluted brand of indie Americana.

This reminds me of Steve Martin's Shopgirl where the male lead has a job as an "amp logo stencilist." The character even goes on tour with some band as an amp brand liason or some ridiculous shit like that. Jason Schwartzman plays the character and said in an interview he told Martin, "you know that's not a real…

That's my biggest issue with audiophiles. I've never been so lucky to listen to music in such isolation where noise wasn't a factor. I mostly listen to music through my phone in my car while the wind whips through the cracks in my door or at home on the stereo while the refrigerator hums. The only thing you can do is…

I knew what I was getting into and yet I click anyway. Would click again.

This is a total stretch and random but I feel like there are parallels with Allen and Diablo Cody in that they both have distorted views of a certain subculture archetype. Cody seems to be stuck on what it means to be hip in relation to the status quo. Allen seems to be stuck on urbane cultural elites. Both create…

He's right about Samantha Bee. She is more incisive than and easily as funny as Stewart and Colbert in there prime. I love her show

I got ten '80s-era Prince cassettes on eBay for $45

Songwriters might need to take a cue from comedians be a bit more diligent, especially given how litigious things are getting. Comedians are in constant fear of unconsciously ripping off another comedian's joke.

I listened against my better judgement and the jury is still out. Yeah they're both terrible and similar in the same way many modern country or EMD songs are.

I let my wife pick because TV is like Ambian to her and she falls asleep in 10 minutes, then I gingerly remove the remote from her hands so not to wake her and watch what I want.

Cars 2 is rated G and it features a car getting tortured and a truck having diarrhea.

And not qualify them as guilty pleasures.

I have a friend I haven't known for very long and we're both heavy into music. He mentioned he really likes Arcade Fire and I can't stand that band. I didn't feel like my taste was superior or anything or try to convince him they sucked. I kind of get what people see in them but I'm just not buying it.

Most people grow out of it by their 30s. I found it kind of liberating to be into music purely for my own enjoyment.

Surprised that the demand for this is so high looking at the size of these venues. I'm assuming they'll do some new material but mostly Rage and PE songs with Chuck doing most of the vocals for both? With B Real standing in for Flavor Flav? Kinda feels like STP with the dude from Linkin Park.

The S1Ws were the original SJWs except when it came to Jews and women.

I think persistent messaging apps are a huge time suck and having to be available and reachable at all times throughout the day is annoying. People ping me when I'm busy and I feel like I have to respond right away or it might look like I'm slacking (no pun intended). And like you mention, a lot of people just spend…

I was surprised that the skunk works "secret project" got immediately shut down. I thought that would be the main story arc for the season

Putting a "god view" on their beta is a serious dick move that I would only expect from ethically challenged companies like Uber. Dinesh does acknowledge the invasion on privacy aspect but none of them really seemed to care. I get that it drove the plot forward and sort of makes sense given that these guys are…
