Also - the day after, I woke up intending to solidify my newfound friendship with Mr Pollard. i emailed our mutual friend and said "What's Bob's email address? I wanted to tell him I had a great time!" The response was "Um, Bob doesn't own a computer or use email."

I had the honor of getting insanely drunk with Mr Pollard in a group of 5 people around 4 years ago. it was maybe in the top 3 nights of my entire life. Dude was talking shit about Billy Corgan all night for some reason.

"Van Halen is different from those examples only because the scope of influence was larger and lasted far longer."

You're right. I guess I was watching this show wrong the whole time. Maybe it was actually innovative, the way important stuff happened away from the cameras. huh.

Man, what a hunk of shit.

I didn't even like Tara, but I love failure, so the handling of her storyline is bringing me endless joy. Same with Sam. His story this year was: he was mayor suddenly (we never got to see anything leading up to that…awesome!), he couldn't decide if he should move away with that other character we barely knew or…

I mean, even if they thought she was annoying and wanted to get rid of her…THEY KILLED HER OFFSCREEN! There's a reason why you don't kill major characters offscreen…it's confusing! Seriously, we didn't know if she was dead or not, and that's not because we thought the story was trying to trick us, we genuinely…

Ok…did Rutina Weasley do something to piss off the showrunners? Or did they really botch her character that badly? She, a character that had been on the show since the first episode 7 years ago DIED OFFSCREEN. My wife and I weren't even sure if she was actually dead for a few episodes. Then she's stuck in Lost…

Love all you peeps. Stay strong.

GODDAMNIT I CAN'T SLEEP.  The last two episodes have been brutal.  Good Lord.

Not to be a dick or anything, but I'm pretty sure there's no modulation particular to the final chorus.  If I remember from when my high school band murdered it, the main riff/verse are in G, and the chorus is basically in F, though it starts on Bbmaj7.  So both choruses technically modulate from the main part of the…

Kinda surprised to see the "Fiasco" grade.  The review really made it sound like more of an out-and-out failure.  I tend to associate Rabin's "fasco" grade as something intriguing and maybe even enjoyable to watch in the right atmosphere, whereas failures tend to be things that start and end by being mediocre and…

I think the way to get into Jazz is to start with the classics (Coltrane, Davis, Louis Armstrong, Cannonball, Dexter Gordon, etc) and then just start investigating other recordings the members of their bands played in.  Pandora really helps too, because if your thing is mellow piano jazz or bop, it instantly gives a…

LOVE this movie.  Allow me to bore you with my memory.  Saw this when it came out on home video when I was a Junior in high school.  My friends would get together and play Risk, and since i didn't drive i was desperate to get out of the house, so I would go with them to someone's house and then get stuck watching TV…

"The second adds a bunch of other industrialists going Galt. Couldn’t a four-minute montage set to “Bawitdaba” have done the trick?"

I work at a Rape Crisis Center and I also watch Tosh.0.  I am having some serious cognitive dissonance.  On the one hand, i know first hand how brutal and terrible rape and sexual assault are; on the other, I am 100% for free speech, no matter how terrible the subject matter is.  Someone tell me how to think!

My next door neighbor manages a cell phone kiosk in the mall.  I would hate that job, but he does it to support his two children.  Fuck him, right?
