Actually, from my experiences, that's not very true. I was home-schooled growing up in the 80s & 90s, many of the families and friends I was surrounded with were the Bible-thumping Creationist-types. Bill Nye was not only appointment TV in my house, it also was for most home-schoolers I knew. Overall, I never knew

I'm 34, and this is one of the most oft-quoted films during my family's casual conversation, right along with Happy Gilmore & Anchorman. For me, the fact that it works on levels that juvenile and also as high-academic analysis speaks to its utter brilliance. I've also found it's a great gateway for kids who've never

I'm just watching this for the first time and, for the record, would like to posit the notion that Martha already knows and is working counter on him. A few reasons: 1)Her increasing professional confidence is a drastic departure from the naive paper-pusher we first met. 2) The gun. 3) Her mentioning of the toupee and

Many of them are on Netflix. Just search '30 for 30'. They range in quality from 'amusing for a dedicated sports fan' to 'among the best television documentaries of the last 10 years.' Check the AV Club grades if you're picking one, they're pretty spot-on IMHO.

I thought it was pretty clear that Deane kept reiterating the 'stroke of 3 line' so she'd have someone to corroborate the alibi. Archer's 'gulp' at the end was the realization that A) She hired someone to do it and B) His tryst with her will become a matter of documented criminal defense. Basically, he, Lana, and

As a huge Radiohead fan I can certainly understand why, in a vacuum of arbitrary letter grades, AMSP could easily be a 'B'. It is a very muted record with not many hooks and memorable melodies.

The sub-plot is most fans didn't really get immersed in Radiohead until the third album, and thought they found the saviors of 'rock'. To this day many of them felt betrayed when, in the very next album released, the band went more 'experimental', and these fans opine every time a new album is released that it isn't

Honestly, I came into Radiohead with Kid A and worked backwards…but that was just a product of when I got into them.

Thankfully Okeechobee already happened so there's no chance anyone will let the secret out…. oh, wait…dammit.

Or that too.

What if I told you…you could enjoy both :-)

Just…..don't leave.

All those crazy sonic flourishes over the decades that you think are synth loops and post-production overlays?…Those are courtesy of Ed's amazing guitar paintbrush. He's the etherial Doctor Jekyll to Johnny's frenetic Hyde.

Yes I have been listening on some professional level SONY studio headphones, it's quite amazing.

I effing love that song so much already. The things this band does with their rhythm section, even when it doesn't land with you personally, are amazing.

Radiohead could go to Juliard and teach a master class in 'Reprises'.

This. Growing up in Upstate NY in the 90s I really didn't have a whole lot of exposure to the alt-rock, off-T40 scene. Kid A was my first RH record, and I loved it from the moment I head it through the crappy headphones at an FYE. For that, I'm actually glad because then I wasn't one of the ones hoping for OKC Pt 2. A

I listened to it once yesterday. Waited to comment until I heard it again.

Take it off the album proper, if you want…but by no means scrub it from the live performances. I've watched From the Basement TKOL so many times and it's always awesome.

I work in real estate marketing. Literally, I spend my day going in and out of people's houses taking pictures. Thom's aching sense of wonderment at other people's lives hits me right in the feels.
