I will send Doughty a check for two dollars if he gets Gilbert Godfried to narrate an audio version of his memoir. Gilbert's fine whine would fit the text perfectly.

Is that true about the five star reviews? If so, that is just pitiful.

Even more of us have probably been in an SST band that Ginn screwed over. That guy's hate mail is well-deserved.

You could tell this commercial was made by a bunch of poseurs because the lady was a'singin', a'playin' a guitar, but she wasn't a'bangin' a kick-drum with an available foot which is what all the cool kiddies are doing these days.

There may not be another next year…AND IT WILL BE ALL YOUR FAULT!!!

Guided by Voices in the never-released Dean Quixote?

Nice Coen Bros shout-out with the white Russian sign in the shop. I hope one of the characters throws Nagelbelt on their turntable at some point.

I thought the EP collection was great, and that the self-titled album was okay, but this CD is just completely kick-ass! Easily my favorite release by these guys so far. Just enough diversity in the speed department to provide some great dynamics on the album. If this album had come out in '82 it would be a stone-cold…

Best game for that system by far. It never gets old. Mario Kart Wii is awesome as well, and I might just buy a wii-u for their new Mario Kart as well. I almost bit the bullet to get the new Super Mario Bros game. I am 39 and these are the only videogames left that really entertain me, but, I should say, they REALLY…

The scene in One Crazy Summer where Teddy has to spin the archery target for his father is classic. It kinda defines their relationship.

Judge: So you claim that it was implied that you would be allowed to wear pasties over your nipples for the sex scene, and that a team of CGI effects artists would spend a couple months creating a set of identical computer-generated artificial nipples to be seen by the viewer in the location where your actual nipples…

At least she didn't try to pull this silliness with Game Of Thrones your highness.

Yeah, they messed with his vocals waaaay too much. Just get him a good mic, and record the vocals nice and raw. Treat him like a rapper, not a singer. You can tell the producer was kinda lost in this department. Any fan knows the key hook to the Hold Steady is Finn's gruff delivery.

It would be especially great if he did since he often plays a Tele, or something with p-90s if I remember correctly. Having a guitar like this churning out the rhythm chords is always a plus, especially when you offset it with a Les Paul or something with humbuckers. It really lets the rhythm chords cut through the…

Yup.

Hahaha. The GBVJVFS. When comparing the two bands, I do appreciate that the Hold Steady always did a better job in the drunken song execution department. GBV definitely had issues in this realm while they were still a touring band. They couldn't even keep it together for Austin City Limits! PBS be damned!

I downloaded this album on emusic, and I am much more in sync with the review on there. I think there are a handful of great songs, particularly "Big Cig", but overall the album seems pretty weak. What really kills it for me is the rampant over-production. The guitars are so heavily worked over with effects that they…

Yeah, this was definitely one of the best episodes. It was just so consistently chuckle-worthy and impressive for how it was devised. Just great, ground-breaking satire. Everything surrounding the trial was really brilliant. I don't think there's been anything this innovative in sketch comedy since Mr. Show.

The first "Can I Finish" from last season totally had me laughing so hard I was crying. It was great to see it, and Daly, make a return. It is so dead-on as great satire.
