In all seriousness, I could picture Negativland doing this.

…and they still stand in Mexican Standoff formation to this day.

This many comments in

N.W.A.: An American Dream

Yeah, seriously, what the fuck is with omitting that? It's the first thing I think of when I think of Elisabeth Shue. I mean, granted, it is a Woody Allen film made after 1989, so all critics are required to despise it, but still.

To me, the speech at the end was actually pretty edifying, and just because our irony-addled minds can't comprehend that maybe this speech might've had a different impact in 1940 than it does now doesn't diminish it at all, at least in my mind.

*IF it was just 10 etc.

Teardrop Awards and the phrase "Phreeze Plenty of Ice" single-handedly justify S4's existence. Not that there aren't lots of other great moments, but it was just 10 episodes of a blank screen plus those two things, it would still be gold.

Another vote here for "Though I Know She Lies," easily my favorite song on that album. For all the talk about how IATC is like a 4th Big Star album, that song actually gives a little hint of what Third might've sounded like with Bell on it.

Yeah, while "Dony" is probably the most like old-school Big Star, "February's Quiet" was the real revelation on that album. His two songs on there were maybe the best ones, actually.

This was the party line on this album, but honestly, anyone expecting a record as good as the first three was delusional. If you can get past that and enjoy it on its own terms, it's pretty likable actually. If it had been released as a Chilton solo album, it probably would've been called the best of his career.

VU is a great comparison actually, since they're arguably the two greatest American cult bands. Which is why I was surprised at the relatively muted reaction to Chilton's death that I saw all over the internet; the whole time I was thinking "seriously, people, this is as big a deal as if Lou Reed had died." Think…

Oh, make no mistake, there are definitely legitimately underrated Big Star songs. "Life is White" (my all-time favorite), "Daisy Glaze," "What's Going Ahn," "Kizza Me" (which probably gets overlooked because it would've fit better on Radio City) all come to mind. I don't know if I've ever really heard any reviewers…

I've said this before: the two songs I think best embody this are "Thirteen" an "In the Street," where the songs perfectly convey the feeling of being certain ages (13 and about 17), but they're not written FOR people of those ages. They're written for people young enough to remember why these feelings matter, but old…

I think Sinatra would've been surprised to show up and discover Allen in Anything Else mode, brandishing a MAC-10 in the most neurotic way possible.

I always feel compelled to bring up throwaway details in this show
Because they're usually my favorite parts of each episode.

You're all over-thinking this definition. It's simple, I'll break it down for you:

I do not sniff coke, I only smoke sinsemilla

Farce
If Kanye would do like he should've done last time, and stormed the stage dressed as Nathaniel Hornblower, he would be hailed as the savior of rap.

"No, "indie rock" doesn't really mean anything anymore."
