you were right at the time, but not anymore. from now on, forevermore, into perpetuity, he was saying "Malkatrans."

@avclub-20788f405e0ea98bab0017f5dd373cdb:disqus , Amerijuanican by Bongzilla, their first record after ol' buddy Dixie Dave the Deerslayer joined the band. stoner riffs with black vocals, it's like some kind of evil peanut butter and jelly thing for your mindholes.

great review and all but look at this bad motherfucker John Semley taking swipes at black metal on his way out the door. you sure you want to start this argument again, Semley? this is still the Internet, right?

@avclub-705562aaa4a5b85bfa44373d8e6bf234:disqus , it's like a sexier, less tightly plotted, more utterly ludicrous Strangers on a Train, mostly in that there's a train.

when Sally whimpered to Megan "you were MY friend first!" my heart broke a little.

since we're setting lines here, what's the over/under on Pete being played and extorted by Howard and Beth? I wouldn't bet the farm on it or anything, but it's just about pathetic enough for Pete "This Is A New Low" Campbell.

there was another great crossover in the Weight Watchers scene; the wall is covered with flyers of unacceptable foods with little devils hovering over them.

"I don't respect anything that rewards you for silence." some people have bon mots, Roger Sterling has bon mottos.

Battlestar-style.

hang on, is Rickon's direwolf black?! I'm almost certain that's some kind of portent but for now it just strikes me as fucking awesome. VanDerWerff, help me out here.

@avclub-4c562a922dda29172f86955ed505472e:disqus , what exactly am I supposed to be "solving"?

@avclub-1f25bd51dbe35ffd0319d1cfb405a223:disqus , you should add it to what I'm gonna assume is an already Himalayan to-read pile, it's excellent. Malamud sort of entered the pop culture through The Natural, but at his best he's like a hyperpolitical Saul Bellow.

@avclub-52ed1f89cb6f846e8efba0e4eacf9c27:disqus , you should stop editing your comments so much. it ruins the flow of people clowning on you.

did you really just follow me over here? you're creepy and weird. you should try and stop being creepy and weird. and quit clogging up my mentions.

@avclub-1f25bd51dbe35ffd0319d1cfb405a223:disqus  it was The Fixer by Bernard Malamud.

fucking shocking that you don't know shit about the Beatles, either.

I had to mumble a red faced explanation to a living room full of people as to why I had paused the DVR and freaked the fuck out with no apparent provocation.

see what I mean, @avclub-52ed1f89cb6f846e8efba0e4eacf9c27:disqus ? we've got your number around here.

we're so lucky to have you around to set us straight.
