There is a metal category.
Kings of Leon is goddamn terrible.
Also too there is a "Hard Rock" category. Nickelback was nominated.

Prediction: In 2035, Tom Waits gets a video on MTV and is subsequently nominated for a "Best New Artist" award. He loses to Vampire Weekend.

No, I'm pretty sure they actually had the gall to call the category "New Artist." And the category is almost always completely full of bands that just got radio-popular, though I'm convinced the band that won (whom I've never heard of) actually was New, since their acceptance speech was full of shout-outs to…

I still maintain that Lady Gaga is the Andy Kaufman of pop music.

If there's one thing I hate, it's the movies. Don't even mention them to me.

Two things that will probably happen, one of which I don't want:
1. Stockpiles of unreleased material will be published.

GODDAMMIT NOW JD SALINGER IS DEAD TOO
College students across the nation are bummed.

Relevant?
Howard Zinn died of a heart attack on the night of the State of the Union address.

For what it's worth, I too spend much of my workday on perusing Lego products because why the hell not. You know you can design your own sets digitally now and upload them to Lego's website to purchase for real? They don't let you submit giant scale replicas of vulvas though, no matter how articulately detailed.

So what you're saying is, you're qualified to teach physics.

BRIAN FELLOWS!

Award, on what terms are you defining "Post-Modern"?

This movie makes me want to point a machine gun at Stephen Baldwin's daughter on a bus.

My goodness, where is all this hostility from? I never said I have anything against Tony Clifton - I know what he's doing here. My issue is, as I said, with the people who claim to be "equal-opportunity offenders" in order to say lazy, bigoted shit. (Speaking of lazy and bigoted, do you not realize Mencia is not…

@4 in 1: Thanks, I'll check that out - I don't have a Wii but I can probably borrow my brother's and rent the game. I recall hearing that you can play like 20 different instruments on that - this may sound like I'm joking, but are the sousaphone and accordion available options?

I really enjoy the challenge of tracking down every last B-side and bootleg and cover and whathaveyou, which is why I'm still a little upset that Bomb the Music Industry! put out Others! Others!, because I don't feel as special now that any old dumbass can have immediate access to all those rarities. Ah, well. At…

Let me first say this is my PERSONAL OPINION based on MY OWN TASTES, and I am not trying to pick fights with people who think otherwise: Guitar Hero (et al) just has no value to me because of the rote Simon-esque button-mashing. It tells you what buttons to press and when, and that's (almost) all there is to it. I…

They're perfectly fine with *Haitians* starving.

I really wish we could have animated userpics, solely so I could have Harrison Ford going "BLULELEH!"

I hope the bus driver thing is true, because several years ago, I designed a T-shirt that I found absolutely hilarious for no good reason; it had a picture of a school bus and read, in the BLADE RUNNER font, "Get on the goddamn bus." Just thought I'd share.
