You don't consider it progress that a woman presidential candidate can be every bit the profiteering, paranoid narcissist as a man?

Lilith Fair has such a specific reputation (even if that's mostly tied up in its first-year lineup) that I think bringing it back now under the same name would be counterproductive.

Let's face it, rock's in a huge slump right now regardless of gender. Rock's supposed to rock, not leave you appreciating the subtlety of the string arrangement. People went fucking nuts over the Black Keys, a serviceable rock band, because they just picked up instruments and jammed. When Arcade Fire (which I like…

In retrospect no one really was beyond control freak Corgin.

My thoughts exactly. If you look across music, many of the biggest sellers and show draws are women. Pop and country are dominated by women artists. Rock and rap still have some catching up to do, but there's no question representation has improved. It wouldn't raise a single eyebrow to have Niko Case among the…

Pistol Annies are so much fun. Hell on Heels makes me feel like a sucker every time I hear it.

I think the commentary (Katie's and others') about the sameness of the music is perfectly valid. Even the name invokes a bit of a hippie earth mother vibe. That was a lot of breathy, earnest music. It seems they learned fast and tried to make changes after the first year, but still weren't able to shake the first…

I listen to a lot of different music, and have only heard of two of those acts (Noname and Zola Jesus. Boris sort of, just because I've heard the guitarist's name thrown around a bit). If I were looking at a showbill with that lineup I'd assume it was at a small theater, not a festival.

Just made a similar comment above. Potato breakfast tacos are far and away my favorite.

God help me, I absolutely love their simple crunchy taco supreme. I used to take those things down by the bagful. The sour cream helps cut the saltiness of the meat.

I've never had a crispy-shelled potato taco, probably for exactly that reason. But breakfast tacos with eggs, diced potatoes skilleted with peppers and onions, and cheese with some picante sauce on top were an absolute revelation upon my relocation to Texas. I also can't eat a whole lot early in the morning without…

Well before food trucks became a thing, taco trucks were slinging some of the best food you've ever had all over Houston. Basically mobile taquerias (or taquerias are stationary taco trucks). Cheap and amazing.

Sabe "crackpot?" Bien. No soy un crackpot.

I expect a big part of New Adventures' troubles were related to releasing E-Bow as the first single. It's a pretty damn weird song and not really designed for mass consumption. I was a lifetime fan and almost didn't buy the record until I heard a few more songs (Electrolite, Leper and Wake-Up Bomb being my…

Domino's finally dropped its 30 minutes or less guarantee because its drivers were getting in so many accidents. But now with car and phone navigation systems they're usually at my house within about 20 minutes.

That urchin would grow up to be Napoleon Dynamite's girlfriend!

OK, polls are closed. 2 1/2 for dead, I vote dead as well…okay then. 104 years is a pretty good run.

Titanic was a great technical achievement that looked great. LAC is a flat-out masterpiece that works every bit as well 20 years on as it did at release.

Barely-related Emory comment; I lived in Druid Hills about half a mile from campus for six years and loved it. Prettiest part of the city. Sadly I did not live on the street where they filmed Driving Miss Daisy.
