So…
You guys like OLD DOGS better?

Celebrities really are dumb.
Seriously—most of these answers showed a painful lack of thought.

Stacy, I agree with you wholeheartedly about 24-Hour-Party People.

I really like Stacy's poem.

Very clever comment thread. Esp. Frito Pendejo's suggestion.

The Return of the Rentals: so great. At least in my memory. More important to my musical adolescence than any Weezer ever.

Speaking of That Dog, and of Weezer's "Jamie," do we have any serous fans of the compilation DGC RARITIES VOL. 1 here? That's one of my favorite comps ever. That Dog does the excellent song "Grunge Couple" on that.

WHY NOT AN 'F'?!
Seriously, why not an 'F'? What was at all redeemable about this? Nothing hinted at in the trailer (or the cast), that's for sure.

You know, it's okay to take breaks from irony.

I'm with you, Claude.

Me? Mine's just a regional history book, TOWNS OF THE SANDIA MOUNTAINS, probably really only of interest to residents of central New Mexico. Still, occasional royalties are nice, as is the glorious, glorious fame.

When I'm writing, I listen primarily to electronica—particularly to an all-instrumental-electronica Pandora station I've been carefully tending to almost since that website began. "Late-Night Writing," I call it, and it includes acts like Four Tet, Caribou, Boards of Canada, B. Fleischmann, Ulrich Schnauss,…

Seriously. That was impressive.

I have a book on there as well—and it's often too affordable for my taste. COSTCO is even worse, though I suppose I'm glad they carry it….

Then my life is my own once more, and these tears are tears of joy.

Good point—and thank you.

Love him.
I'm typing with one hand, holding a baby in the other, but if I weren't, I would write a pro-Dawkins manifesto here. Awesome guy. Cheers for him!

Good catch, Hal!

That top picture…
…is absolutely heartbreaking. What is wrong with this world that we allow such scenes (and many much worse) to happen again and again and again? I just feel such despair sometimes over the things this world does to children.

Nice to see Boris here…
…Though I wouldn't mind seeing a lot more doom on this list. I mean, ambient metal? Now, that's something new!
