What about a show where it's Don Draper, baby?

He's one of those guys that doesn't quite properly enunciate when he speaks and regardless of his opinions that really gets to me after a while.

Come on, can't we just get beyond thunderdome?

I definitely think the nature of the work is relevant; if someone paints a really beautiful painting, that can be enjoyed for reasons totally unrelated to the artist. When the persona of the artist is foundational to the work, however, as with a singer, I think that's where it gets sketchier.

I'd noticed the repeat references, yeah; it felt like there was always some kind of wacky framing device that kept it from being played straight, though. The Oingo Boingo song that actually does creep me out a bit is "Capitalism," which doesn't have as much obvious irony and, by some accounts, may have been serious.…

I mean, if it's "Little Girls" we're talking about, I'm pretty sure that falls on the side of satire, but regardless, yeah, it's troubling that anyone would want to burn books by anyone they don't like. I do think a person's shittiness can be relevant to their work and worth asterisking in some cases, but that's the…

That album didn't really stick when I listened to it, but True Detective's use of the song definitely made me go back and appreciate "Nevermind" a lot more.

And I would never tell peole to categorically discredit any art that came from a bad seed, there are plenty of artists I enjoy who've done really shitty things. But I do think people should reckon with the people they're supporting and make an effort to recognise if and when the art they're enjoying is tied to that…

I wouldn't normally be so coarse, but I've heard that argument verbatim (minus a couple Maannnnns) on several occasions and it really grosses me out.

Yeah, well, like, all your favorite artists are probably like, horrible people in real life! So it doesn't matter what Roman Polanski did, man! Separate the art from the artist, man!

I've said this before, but the moment they use Talking Heads I'm going to go apeshit.

Most of all I loved that he was an action hero who was a big, ugly brute. There's been a shift recently towards masculine heroes being doe-eyed brooders who all kind of sound roughly like the singer of Three Days Grace when they talk, and it's really nice to see an action movie where the hero is just a dirty,…

To this day I still get the damn things stuck in my head, and you cannot get them unstuck. I often wonder who the musicians were that did those songs.

The title sequence AND musical picks in The Americans are so fucking exhilarating.

It's interesting how the credits sequence from True Detective season 2 became such a rorschach test; it seems like everyone had a different, but equally strong reaction to it. I liked it, it was probably one of the most elegantly handled parts of a very confused season.

Aaaaand if you get a chance to go-go there, you'll be glad you did, cause everybody who goes to Liddsville really flips his lid!

Marc Maron, if he could do some kind of acting trick to have a more nasally, annoying voice.

Want a shrunken head?
*gasp* regular size?
JUMMMMBO?

I used to mic check with this until I discovered that no one on earth thought it was funny.

BWAAAAAAAHM
