Josh Modell, I have a jar of pickled brussels sprouts with the AVClub's name ALL over it. What's the address?

I still haven't tried the coconut…anyone have an opinion?

I know, I love taste tests…it hasn't been a weekly feature in at least 6 months, though.

Salty caramel is just as good, if not better.

Chocolate covered beef jerky…

I happen to really like the Trader Joe's peanut butter chocolate pretzels. So much so that I have to avoid Trader Joe's because of the lure of them.

What about
Plant takeover, as in the day of the Triffids?

Yeah, as far as local danger is concerned, I would say that's pretty limited to dirty bombs. Russia and China have economic impetus not to bomb us, and Pakistan and N. Korea, etc. don't have the technology to reach us. Even if there was an all-out nuclear war between the Koreas and Japan, China and Taiwan, India and…

Also, wasn't it just a thought experiment by Pascal? I don't think he ever meant it to be taken seriously.

She really is impressive live. I saw her open up for Jamie Lidell in 2008 and she won the crowd over within minutes.

Huh, Jago, my old college roommate's mother was from Moose Jaw. It must be one of those tiny towns where a lot of people happen to come from there.

Easily the worst season of the show, which sucks for Amelie. Also, this was easily the worst season of House, and I hope they nip that one in the bud as well, if only it didn't get such high ratings.

Yeah, I saw it as mutual admiration, and nothing else.

John Oliver also does regular standup, just like McHale.

As much as I thought the Jeff-Annie thing was a great way to deflate the whole Britta-Jeff thing that has been going on all season, I kind of hope they start next season having totally forgotten it over the summer.

Phil is one of the thousands being sued for downloading the hurt locker.

Yah, I would say, compared to last week and the week before's eps, this was a B/B+.

The new Janelle Monae album is great, and the FlyLo album might be the best so far this year. Considering it's only May, this has been a fantastic year for music, and there's still MIA, Arcade Fire, We Are Scientists, and about 30 other artists I love who are coming out this year. Hell, even Aphex Twin has been…

I think Hot Chip and LCD Soundsystem are similar in their tongue-in-cheek approach, but they sound totally different (and I love both of them).

I just saw massive attack last week, and the setlist heavily featured mezzanine and the new album (which is WAY better live). Mezzanine may be one of my favorite albums ever, and I don't quite get how Blue Lines and Protection are typically considered by the press to be better albums (even though they are both…
