If there's a specific reason why I don't listen to Foo Fighters that much anymore, it's how much Dave Grohl's vocals rely on him screaming at the top of his lungs in more recent albums. He has a powerful wail, for sure, but it's probably best suited for those moments that warrant a little emphasis, as is the case in…

I'm still listening to the new Land of Talk album that dropped last week; it may be a while before I grow tired of it.

Ah, the Gus Hansen strategy.

Waiting room/hotel lobby/bar communal TVs should be tuned in to the Golf Channel at all times; it hits the optimal ratio of "people who don't care who will easily tune it out, versus people who do care who will be immediately hooked."

Not without paying tribute to the Orb.

That's bad.

The tuberculosis is resistant to rifampicin treatment.

When I have to change my password at work, I base it off of a song I'm listening to at that time. I'm pretty sure "Spiritual Intimidation" is too many characters.

You must be the dumbest boy alive!

Hampster Dance!

If Uniracers and Kirby's Dream Course can somehow be put on this thing, I may never get anything done again.

It's fitting that the Chainsmokers are the musical equivalent of the Big Tobacco executive who justifies his actions by arguing he is merely giving his customers what they want.

Lorde and the Chainsmokers occupy opposite ends of the spectrum.

Electro-dance pop is the lowest common denominator genre of music; these guys have managed to make a killing as the lowest common denominator of even that. There's no craft to the formula: build the laziest earworm atop a generic beat, then bring in a replacement-level pop tart to sing the chorus. I get the impression…

But seriously: fuck these guys.

To be fair, the Baker Bowl didn't need to build a spite fence. Since their right field Wall was only 280 feet away from home plate, they had to build it 60 feet tall to begin with.

I really should have copyrighted my transcript of the KNIFEGRAB mnemonic when I posted it in the Podmass comments all those years ago. Everyone copies it!

In the sense that beer is a product of four ingredients, pilsner maybe shows off the best qualities of each ingredient in balance than any other style. Mass-marketed beers are invariably pale lagers because the pilsner ideal was well worth imitating, although they've moved ever further from the genuine article over…

I believe craft brewing culture's shunning of pilsners until fairly recently was based on a few different factors:

SAT analogy time…
