Just saying…
The failure to mention "Interrogation Bear" is inexcusable.

Swing and a miss

Who wins in a fight
Pistol Whipping Party Penguins or Penguins With Shotguns?

Who wins in a fight?

Not only do I agree, but I'll go so far as to say that North Star Deserter is the album of the year.

I agree

I am not going to gripe
I just want to say that Vic Chesnutt put out an amazing album this year that absolutely no one is talking about and that is a real shame.

Coincidence
Speaking of Liza Minnelli and caricatures. I just watched "The Muppets Take Manhattan", which, strangely enough features a scene in which Kermit the Frog replaces a caricature of Minnelli with one of his (mustachioed) self.

Holy crap
Someone might have already pointed this out (there's no way I'm reading back to find out) but there is a shitload of comments here. I can't remember ever seeing so many at AVC. Anyways here's my contribution to get it to 1000.

They should put him on ropes hung from the rafters and move him around like a marionette.

Greatest cast ever
Jon Lovitz, The Rock, Justin Timberlake, John Larroquette Mandy Moore, Kevin Smith, etc. And for a moment I thought the mom from Home Improvement was in it too, but that's Patricia Richardson.

It expresses that they are a group of cunning fellows with an interest in linguistics. I find it refreshing. The young generation today is just so obsessed with sex. It's nice to see a group of people who aren't interested in that sort of thing and focus there minds on a more

This is ridiculous
I demand content. It could come from your family at dinner for all I care.

Well he does look a bit like Isaac Newton, so he's got that going for him.

Kal Penn

Sadly I think he will make it because he is probably the most well

I saw them when they were touring north america
It shames me a bit to admit it was at the Pitchfork festival, but I can rationalize it because it was the only way I was going to get to see Os Mutantes. It was worth it, they were awesome.

This is a terrible idea
Would anyone really want to see this?
