So if that's the last thing
What's this?

Oh no! An anonymous internet user says that only pretentious douchebags like Brian Eno's music, shortly after I proclaimed that I liked his music. Logically, I must then be a pretentious douchebag. Well, that's my day ruined.

@Leo Grocery: I know Here Come the Warm Jets is a reference to pissing, but is there something on the album cover I've missed too? I may be missing something really obvious, I know.

Bob swearing
Since there seems to be a lot of appreciation for Odenkirk shouting and swearing, I nominate Bob's just-beaten-up-twice "Fuck you" in the Best Friend's Marriage Announcement sketch as the second best example of this, right behind his "What the fuck" when he sees Kedzie on screen in Bush is a Pussy.

Thanks, Grudlian. Good to know it's not just me. I literally fell off the couch laughing the first time I saw that bit. Something that just comes completely out of nowhere, in a direction entirely different to the way the scene has progressed.

Glenn, Terry, and Rod.
Bill, Superstar, Burton, Famous Mortimer, I. P. Freely, Bobo, Sleepy, Charlene, Freddy, Tex-Mex, Deltoid from the planet Homunculus, the American Dream, Heywood Jablowme.

John Hawkes, Kim Dickens, Brian Cox…
So, can you just give Random Roles interviews to the entire cast of Deadwood, and they can all say how David Milch is a genius and it's the greatest scripts they've ever had to work with, and I'll sit here and weep gently for what might have been? THANKS.

"I used to get mad at my woman, I beat her and kept her apart from the things that she loved" - John's part in Getting Better.

There's a progression at work in those titles you mention though, and part of what Ford achieved was to have a big influence on that change. In terms of physical dirt and decay, Stagecoach is perfectly clean going through Leone and Peckinpah and Unforgiven and ending with the filth and squalor of Deadwood and…

This game is fucking awesome
I've posted some bullshit about the game elsewhere on this page. What is more important is that I've had this game for three days, played it constantly, and it is fucking awesome. That is all.

There is actually an achievement/trophy for hogtieing a woman, leaving her on the train tracks, and watching as a train rolls over her. Probably the best achievement ever, and certainly Rockstar's best since the one where they made you repeatedly kiss other boys in Bully.

It's interesting, in the context of the GTAs and other open-worlders, that despite the prevalence of prostitutes in the game, it's not possible for the married Marston to interact with them, other than occasionally saving them from ornery clients. This is unless it becomes an option if your honour drops or something…

Make Another World and Post-Electric Blues have been slight improvements on Warnings/Promises, but they have definitely slumped since 100 Broken Windows. They've gotten much better as a live band though, back a little more to how they used to be, which gives me hope, and their concerts performing their albums in…

Sorry, but Bolland isn't even close. He's massively influential for what he has done, yes, and responsible for the looks of two of Dredd's strongest supporting characters, Judges Death and Anderson. Almost everything he drew of Dredd is basically classic as well: the original Judge Death story and part of Block…

This is a great time to get into Dredd, as they're finally collecting the series properly. We've had individual volumes of the so-called Mega-Epics (20 part+ stories) before but a lot of the joy of Dredd is the minor stories, where Wagner and Grant can riff on whatever the hell they feel like. The Complete Case…

Robuttnik - was it Lord Monckton that spoke at the Tea Party? He's not even a member of the House of Lords (although he claims to be), never mind the House of Commons. He's also a fucking idiot, but that's another matter.

I'd have to agree that Hey Leonardo might be the worst thing ever. I hadn't heard it before these articles - either it wasn't a hit in the UK or I just missed it somehow - but it was shockingly bad. I can't bring myself even to play it a second time to check the precise level of awfulness.

Check my comment history. One attempt at this. One success. I have it out of my system and can now concentrate on heartfelt comments on culture that has meant something to me, as well as sarcastic asides on things I don't like. I feel dirty about doing it, but somehow cleansed and purified. Purged through fire.

First?
I'm allowed one, okay?

I can understand why people love their debut, I Should Coco, and it has an energy and sense of fun and excitement to it that you will rarely find anywhere else. Their second album, In It For The Money, I think is a better album. The songwriting is improved and it's a cohesive and tuneful album full of great pop…
