Of course Nader could never win. The two party system prevents a third party from winning elections (unless something cataclysmic happens, like a civil war). But what can and should happen is that the third party forces either party to "steal" the third party's issues to appeal get the third party votes, thus…

I must be going to the wrong venues/shows. The low end is so much louder than the treble, that it all sounds muddy to me.

I agree. Bush would have "won" the election with other methods. McCain used to be considered a bit of a centrist, right? It is unfortunate that to win the nomination, a candidate has to move farther to the right or left, then move back to the center to appeal to undecided voters. In the end, both candidates are so…

AVClub Primer
Soderbergh. This guy's work is all over the map, and ranges from amazing to irritating.

HHAJJ
Please refer to Hugh Jackman by his nick name from now on: Hugh "Huge Action Jackson" Jackman.

Don't bother working your way back. Prior to Wild Love, most of the Smog stuff is pretty lo-fi and experimental. Not that it is bad, but his later stuff is much better. You can't really go wrong with any album between Wild Love and Supper, although Rain on Lens is a grower and not recommended for newbies, and Doctor…

Kitchen Nightmares

(in Don Draper's voice): Sex sells? Says who?

The hating is not focused on the syrup, but on the advertisement.

Nah, these commercials are so much better than most. There ridiculous, to be sure, but at least there not loud or grating.
