Well as long as we're talking about great, weird 80s songs that no one's ever heard of, here's 'Crawl' by Skating for Cover:

Sadly I think it also comes down to the music itself not necessarily enduring that well. Like, her being able to record an album of Bach pieces on a Moog in 1968 is a remarkable achievement, but these days if someone wants to listen to Bach, that's not the album they're gonna reach for.

Nightmares!

Yeah, I just saw this film tonight, and maybe I'll start to feel it coalesce more in my mind over time, but for now I feel frustrated with those unresolved elements. Like…

I saw a great Craigslist women-seeking-men post a while back which I should've saved but didn't. It was something like: 'I'm a beautiful 23 year-old but the kind of guys I'm most attracted to are chubby middle-aged dudes, and it doesn't matter if you're employed or not because I'm really rich and would actually rather…

I'm also a tall man on a train but all I see is Candy Crush and its ilk.

As someone who came of age with, like the article mentions, riot grrrl and 00's DIY punk, it's hard to express how utterly and completely bored I get by punk rawk of the 'let's say offensive shit and play the same few chords over and over' variety. I think this whole thing is (probably) an example of how divergent the…

Why do people keep picking on the most powerful man in the world??

They were advertising it as an 'immersive' festival - I'm sure the folks who attended felt like they had been immersed in something, I tell ya.

Check this thread again in a few months - I'll figure out a way to incorporate "internal dye diffusion" into a pun and it'll blow everyone's minds.

Well maybe the filmmakers just need to, um, widen their aperture!
Or, uh, they need to stop putting on the hot shoe!
Those filmmakers need to get out of the dark room they've been hiding out in!

There probably is a lot to be read-into re: what 45's comments tell us about American perceptions of femininity and the human body. Like, it seems important, the way he seems to think it's obviously shameful for women to be caught visibly bleeding.

Yeah, the sense I get (from articles I've seen about this book and this guy - I haven't actually read it) is that while the book is generally a sensitive look at life in the contemporary American heartland, the underlying politics are somewhere along the lines of "Pull yourself up by your bootstraps, like me!" Like,…

I thought this was gonna be about the '7 Ways to Maximize Misery' video posted a few weeks ago. I thought that one was quite good actually, so here it is:

Deee-Lite were really good; I agree that, in memory, they feel less like a one-hit wonder because they actually had a lot of really strong tracks - 'World Clique' is a fine, fine album.

What if the plot of this one is that they rebuild Jurassic Park with even bigger and meaner dinosaurs, a bunch of people come, and… nothing goes wrong. Everyone just goes home and says 'those dinosaurs today were pretty cool.'

Not the first to say this but, yeah, this is all pretty standard stuff, and has been for many years now. It's common practice that 1) reality TV contestants sign huge contracts that basically waive any imaginable liability on the part of the production company (like, up to and including the contestant's death); and 2)…

So I guess Saw 3D: The Final Chapter was the final chapter in much the same way as Friday the 13th: The Final Chapter. Which is to say, not at all.

I heard a story from a musician: while she was on tour she had sex with a fan and he put on one of her albums while they were screwing; his English wasn't that great, though, so she didn't really know how to gently tell him how awkward that was.
