Are you me, ElDan? Our cassette-purchasing histories are nearly identical. By any chance, was your first CD by Blind Melon?

Lots of threads about cassettes here. But how about one about Of Montreal themselves. Do they deserve the hype, or are they merely precursors of the too-frantic eclecticism of Vampire Weekend? I saw them live and lost all enthusiasm for them, they just seemed to put on such a busy, directionless, hokey stage-show. It…

A Hawk and a Hacksaw (featuring Jeremy Barnes of Neutral Milk Hotel) recently released a 78 rpm record.

I like them. And they're really a beautiful little compact form that can last a long time and take a lot of wear. One of my favorite microlabels is Featherspines, out of Albuquerque, NM, and almost all their releases are these beautifully designed cassettes. I buy almost all of them, without even hearing them first,…

I still have a few of those kicking around. Paperboy's "Ditty"; Us3's "Cantaloop"; The Proclaimers' "500 Miles"; Radiohead's "Creep" (with a great b-side).

That has to be kind of the mentality that led to this. "OLIVER TWIST is great…but wouldn't it be better if the little boy was a hot, somewhat promiscuous woman?" It's why I always kind of groan when a female counterpart is introduced for male superheroes. As if someone thought, "Spider-Man is supercool. But he'd be…

According to Wikipedia, the final four episodes are titled, "Salud," Crawl Space," "End Times," and [blank].

I think Hank will make it almost to the end, and he may even outlast Walt. Hank is the anti-Walt. They are the two sides of the same coin—each extreme individualists, each unhappy and unfulfilled without something big and meaningful and dangerous in his life. And in this instance, that SOMETHING happens to be the same…

Graduate from middle school already.

She also voices a CGI fairy in some straight-to-DVD Tinkerbell movies my kids watch.

And here's hoping they show a clip.

I agree. I like Rabin, but these have never been strong reviews.

I like this show a lot, and I find it very emotionally effective and moving, but I still think the AV Club reviewers and commenters who are always weeping all over it are kinda bizarre and unfathomable. I suspect depression and alcoholism. They make you more prone to that.

He really should end this show (some day in the very distant future) by brutally murdering off his own character. That would be unexpected and darkly comical.

GH, are you on Facebook? I could use a "friend" on there of your wit.

But it was totally filmed in New Mexico. Looks like Placitas, NE of Albuquerque.

When Walt said (I'm paraphrasing), "I'm sorry. I'm so sorry for everything I've put you through. …How's that sound?" …That might be my favorite moment in the series so far, right up there with the fulminated mercury drop in season one. 

Venezia's is just down the street from me—and it really is so good. Though it's less quintessentially Albuquerque than Dion's, a company which apparently didn't help cater this show. All that uncut stuff is all fabricated for the show, though. They slice their pizzas, though their slices are huge.

I don't own a Kindle, but I would like to read this. Can such a thing be read on a PC or in some other way?

Is hip dysplasia a big problem? That seemed kind of a funny choice to me.
