Wait, that looks funny. Mangos? That looks weird, too. How do you pluralize mango?

Oh, the wonderful Beer/Out Cold combo. No better way I can think of to spend a Friday afternoon.

comics journalist Jerome Maida?
Comics Journalist? That's a real title?

Yep, even with Coach smoking a doob.

I don't agree with it, either. I just love the line.

Metal bands were like slasher movies; GNR was like prison rape.
Best. Line. Ever.

"an important part of helping to rebuild our schedule"
What is she talking about? When Parks & Rec was part of the Thursday night lineup, that was a solid two-hour block of funny television (I mean, I don't like The Office anymore, but there are still plenty of people who do). Why is she low-balling the best shows NBC

But what does Nick Swardson's grinning visage think of this news???
Seriously, it's starting to freak me out. It's like he's staring into my soul and telling it about his great idea for a show about a gay robot.

Summation of this album from an outsider
I (somehow) had not listened to Sufjan Stevens before this album, so I went into this only knowing that the interwebs fawn over this guy. Anyway, I was describing "Impossible Soul" to a friend, and it actually fits the description of this entire album.

I find it takes longer to type @ than just to simply spell out "at". Why did he do that every time?

You may, but that doesn't mean I'll believe you. I am very happy he moved on from that Euro club techno phase of his career. Reality, now that is an underrated album.

Well, if you would like to tell the author how much bullshit it is yourself, here you go:

What ever happened to Anthony Hamilton?
He came out with a couple of solid R&B albums. I thought, for sure, he would stick around and make good, low-key, neo soul while making his real money singing the hooks for much more famous people.

I had but a single dream as a child…
And that was to have a hoverboard. There's only five years left until the future; why are we not on this yet?!?

Liz and pilots
Liz's comment about Jon Hamm's character - "He looks like a cartoon pilot."

No, that would be "Tik Tok."

Calling you out, Koski
Bland song? Did you actually listen to "White Knuckles?" It's full of funky awesomeness and a wonderful homage to Prince (like most of the album, actually). You AV Club staffers and your snark…

What about things you knew about but couldn't contextualize?
Occasionally, I will listen to the late night club mix show that one of my local Top 40 stations does on Saturday nights, broadcasting live from somewhere in town. Anyway, they picked up Lady Gaga's "Just Dance" and played it every week for probably two

#55
At Atlanta Braves games, you will see the occasional jersey with K. Powers and Number 55 on the back. Feel free to discuss the awesomeness of that.
