His world remixes are also genius. I love the South Africa one.

Two Omissions
1. Spectacular rock deaths: Mark Sandman of Morphine, dead of natural causes on stage in Italy. 2. What about the Long Beach Dub All-Starz? They were Sublime 2.0, right after Nowell's death.

"There has never been a better book about hip-hop."
CAN'T STOP WON'T STOP: A HISTORY OF THE HIP-HOP GENERATION is one of the greatest books I've ever read—so if that statement includes that book, then I guess I really ought to read it.

+50.

A Mitchell and Webb reference! Some serious pop culture geekery going on here.

Off day, AV Club—
I''ve heard well over half of these albums, and I like all these songs. "Rainy Day Women," that one I can agree with, but "Rev. No 9" is way cool, as is "Meat is Murder," "Electronic Rennaisance," and "At Least that's What You Said." Etc.! I suspect the emo-loving hand of Kyle here, if that…

Seriously. No SWIM?!

The lack of Caribou here is an egregious oversight. "Jamelia" remains my pick for track of the year, and the whole album is just brilliant. Still: some good leads here.

I used to hitchhike everywhere
and had some close calls like this. Once, my girlfriend and I got a ride with this guy who had a picture of Jerry Garcia taped above his glovebox and who said, "Jerry rides with me wherever I go." We immediately both got a really creepy feeling from this guy—his body language, his…

This is just the weirdest and the worst thing ever.
And it never ends.

Interesting…
but that was a pretty disappointing article after that headline. I was really excited for a minute there.

I think this is great!
The only thing was, was that I was hoping to see he'd played his post-AEROPLANE song, "Little Birds" or whatever that was called—the one written about in the 33 1/3 book. This is a good sign. He's feeling better. He's coming back. Maybe he'll at least get it together enough for that…

Seriously, ZMF, you would like this. I know a lot of metalheads who totally get into it for the vocal intensity alone. Ownage by the truckload.

Super-welcome! How great for you, seriously. I can't wait until you get to pick a WUIB selection; that will be way cool.

THIS SOUNDS AMAZING!
I wish I'd been there. Wow, wow, wow.

I just love this column
and after having just read MY YEAR OF FLOPS, the book, I'm hoping this will eventually make it into print in some form as well. 36 entries? That could be padded out into book length easily enough, with a few additional essays on relevant topics, a few interviews, some additional text to…

I can't stop almost-silently giggling. Terrific. Just terrific.

It's a good comment. And I like that they're doing that now.

Agreed on the eager wait. Though I feel the same about PEEP SHOW. Come on, season 7!

So excited for PARKS AND REC. Seriously, what a terrific show.
