See, you would think that me finding a good burger restaurant (or hell, Five Guys) would stop me from ever going to McDonald's.  But strangely, it does not.  They occupy two entirely different niches in my craving categories.

I still like Twinkies.  And other Hostess crap that ought to taste bad, but my mouth tells me tastes delicious.  I can't believe they're shutting down - they occupy an entire end cap at most of the grocery stores I go to (non-Whole Foods division).

@avclub-6422e3b9b5a4d5582042acbf6096cb8d:disqus Considering the aesthetic Albini trumpets though, isn't that a strange stance to take?  Natural talent and refined skill aren't exactly necessary components of the many bands Albini has been in or produced.  Though I guess they're not "hiding" it in the same sense.

Pretty much.  This was more fun to read because Albini is a fun crank who speaks with some intelligence and at length.  Though sadly he doesn't really attempt to dissect why he hates autotune - he seems to assume that 1. it just sucks sonically, or maybe sucks because its original function makes it inappropriate for

Rifftrax Twilight was genius - I didn't realize they did the other ones too.  I may have to end up watching them all now, dammit.

"Way too many cuts" is what the show usually does, IMO.  This was much more sure-handed and purposeful direction, even if it was rather show-offy and filled with maybe too many distractingly weird shots.  I usually find the direction on AHS to be a weird mishmash of pedestrian and pointlessly nervous and faux-artsy;
