As far as I can tell, there are three glaring omissions: Girls, Kurt Vile, and The War on Drugs.

What a strange list this is…

Right? Did Hyden threaten to fire anyone who voted for it…?

So… how about that "A Matter of Life and Death" reference Todd threw out there?

Loving this release, but it does make me think of the Brian Wilson parody in Walk Hard.

I know, I saw this review and thought, "Damn it, I guess I'll have to listen to this after all."

Man, that first sentence has a dangling modifier.

I dunno, TA makes Jersey sound pretty shitty. "These New Jersey cigarettes and all they require have made a fucking junkie out of me."

I'm not a Girls, not yet a Women.

C+.

A B-?

Tell that to Meredith Blake!

Every season I say this show can't top itself. Every season it proves me wrong.

I knew an essential song wasn't being listed, but I couldn't figure out what it was! That song is gut-wrenching!

The new Rosebuds album, Loud Planes Fly Low, was recorded after the divorce of Kelly Crisp and Ivan Howard, and it's as sadly awesome as you'd expect.

When I play music while my 9th graders are working (my iPod on shuffle), they usually like to rib on the stuff I play. But the other day, one class almost unanimously endorsed Pitseleh. There is hope for the youth of today after all.

Juanito just got his bitchass served.

I think Ebert's problem lately is he seems to review mainly based on how "elevated" the films make him feel, which I guess he can do since he's like the most famous movie critic ever, but his reviews often feel less like reviews and more like journal entries. Having said that, he's such a great writer that it hardly…

One thing I always thought was interesting was that Siskel openly said once that he was a better critic than Ebert. I've always wondered if it was actually true. They were both so excellent, and I think Ebert was a better writer, but Siskel always seemed to "beat" him on the show itself.

That movie is a national treasure, damn it.
