That wouldn't be any worse than the average bar band cover if it weren't for the crazy faces she's making.  However, I noticed one of them in the video is blonde, making their name a total lie.

I actually don't have an issue with the term "proactive", although I don't  really understand how this or any song is "proactive".  I was just making a Simpsons reference.

I'm not entirely sure what "proactive" is supposed to mean, but if we are talking about great 90s female artists, then I'm going to start with PJ Harvey and then move on to Bjork, Sleater-Kinney, etc.

They are basically the mirror image of crazy internet feminists.  As far as I can tell, neither of them exist in meatspace and only appear to be large in number because they comment on the internet like motherfuckers.  See also, Ron Paul supporters and bronies.

Poe's law in action.  I can't tell if that is genuine or satirical.

Chocolate and Cheese was the party album when I was in college.  Never got played if there were fewer than a dozen people in the room, but if there was a party it was going to get played.

I loved Baboon and Funland too, but for the most part

@avclub-d69768b3da745b77e82cdbddcc8bac98:disqus Well the Toadies were really the one ok DFW band to make it to the radio during the 90s.  Other than that there was Deep Blue Something, the Nixons, Tripping Daisy, and Drowning Pool.   Seriously.

Add the Crash Test Dummies song about the boy who got into an accident and lost his hair or what the fuck ever and you've got the holy trinity of alt-rock suck.

@avclub-d69768b3da745b77e82cdbddcc8bac98:disqus Yeah I get it.  They basically were a one hit wonder in most places, but around here they were just a step behind Pearl Jam or Radiohead.  Even though they disappeared off of the charts after their breakthrough and didn't put out another album until it was too late and

It's funny, coming from the Dallas Fort Worth area, to hear the Toadies discussed as a alt-rock one hit wonder.  If you grew up around here in the 90s, they are a generational touchstone.

My girl is all "What's going on?" at the top of her lungs, and The Man is all like "ok first, quiet down.  Secondly, it should be clear, maybe if you weren't so high…" and she's all "fuck you pig, you're gonna be the first with your back to the wall"

So now it's not ok for a guy to even criticize a woman's music?  Is that a new definition of rape we are working towards?

My roommate in college once did the "Wait, turn this up" and "moment of silence while staring into the distance" for this song (along the lines of Elaine's boyfriend and "Desperado").  I could never look at him the same way again.

Wait, they got Google in Canada now?   Brave new world.

I got to Altavista and type in "go to Yahoo"

I've always loved that one, and also "Gee whiz I love you!"

Thanks for the heads up on Review being on Hulu.  I torrented a couple of those episodes a couple of years ago but couldn't find very many.  What I found was hilarious, though.

Dead Set is like the anti-Walking Dead.  I couldn't tell you much about the characters (boring) power struggles and emotional hang-ups but goddamn is there a shitload of badass zombie action.

I illegally downloaded something called the "Chris Morris Box Set" that had the entire runs of The Day Today and Brass Eye, plus several of his radio shows.  Don't know if that was ever legally released or not.  Anyway, the Day Today isn't as funny as Brass Eye, but it's still pretty great.  A lot more surrealist than
