Ooh California Stars is a really good one. I'm getting so many good ideas for funeral playlists here I might have to fake my own death sometime soon so I don't have to wait to long to get to use them.

I love the Jane's Addiction cover but for my funeral it's the original all the way. It's one of my favorite songs ever and I have a lot of really good memories associated with it. The original also has this slightly melancholy undercurrent to it the cover is missing which makes it more funeral appropriate while still…
I said something else earlier in the thread but after reading all of these comments I realized that "Thank You Friends" by Big Star is my answer. I don't need some sad song that I felt summed up my life played, I'm dead. A funeral is for the benefit of the people who are left and I can't think of a better song to let…
Yeah I want to be cremated because the idea of people spending significant amounts of money on my corpse which is dead and really doesn't care seems really stupid to me. I'm dead guys keep the money I'm not gonna know the difference.
Long May You Run is definitely my number one Neil Young funeral song (which is a weirdly specific thing to have) followed closely by See the Sky About to Rain.
I was trying to think of an appropriate Bug Star song but I think you nailed it with El Goodo. It's appropriately somber without being depressing like Nightime or something plus its a fantastic song.
My top three are Ripple by the Grateful Dead, You are not needed now by Townes Van Zandt and Skyway by the Replacements. They all have at least some degree of lyrical relevance and are also gorgeous slightly sad songs.
One day I decided to get stoned before I watched that nights Game of Thrones. I don't jack off to t.v shows when I'm sober but when I'm stoned I have a bit less self control so when a certain scene involving Joffery and some prostitutes began I decided to go for it. By the time things took a dark turn I had gone too…
I really don't understand all the season 3 hate thats popped up around here. Sure it had its flaws but it also had a lot of really funny episodes. What really gets me is when people say season 4 wasn't any worse than 3 which is complete bullshit. I get that it's all subjective but I don't understand how anyone could…
@avclub-ccddb19d94622d5ff1ee354d99d24d20:disqus Exactly. I had other issues with how season 4 treated certain characters and stuff but I could have easily forgiven all of that if it had ever made me laugh as hard as the first three seasons which it never came close to doing.
Seriously. I get that he's said some dickish things and there were legitimate reasons for his firing but is no one on here capable of being optimistic about anything? I personally am very excited that the guy who made three of my favorite seasons of t.v ever is going to make more. The worst case scenario here is…
It definitely would have been nice to see Clark having more of a real relationship with his dad instead of their only interactions consisting of very serious speeches about humanity and family or whatever. The death scene in the tornado really bugged me too. Really you can't run over there and drag your dad away…
I didn't have a problem with any of the things you mention. In fact I didn't really have any specific problems with the movie I just didn't really like anything about it. The action scenes were boring, I didn't care about any of the characters and the parts that were supposed to be emotional moments just seemed…
I think there'd definitely some truth to that theory. It's ridiculous the shit people will laugh at in a movie theater. I ended up seeing Man of Steel twice over the weekend once just to hang out with a friend I hadn't seen in a while and during the second viewing I just got this feeling of dread every time I knew a…
The yellow guys made an appearance when I saw Man of Steel this weekend and were greeted with quite a bit of laughter. How can that many people find that legitimately funny enough to laugh out loud at? It just makes no sense.
On Saturday night I saw Man of Steel. Then on Sunday night I got a call from a friend I hadn't seen in a really long time asking if I wanted to go see Man of Steel. I didn't love it the first time and watching it again the next night was kind of terrible even though I got high for the second viewing to try and make it…
I don't know if anyone will see this since I'm about two days late but I've been waiting for an opportunity to share this story for many years and being a little late won't stop me. On a lake in a kayak at a church camp while the rest of my family was rowing out to where I was. It was a race to see if I could finish…
Even though every other pop culture interest of his is incredibly lame I'm gonna have to give a shout out to my uncle who played dungeons and dragons with me for the first time. That sparked an ongoing interest in overly complicated games and was something I never would have discovered on my own.
Definitely. Spending time here especially among the comments has had a huge impact on my pop culture consumption. It's like having an entire website full of cool uncles.
Yeah I thought this looked like something I would like but most people wouldn't so I'm pleasantly surprised by the good reviews. I've avoided enough of the crap they've been in and love Freaks and Geeks enough that I still like Rogen and Franco which does not seem to be a popular stance.
