Circa Survice is a dumb band name and as such I do not support them.  [Buys a new Kanye West album and supports major labels]

That's still kind of bullshit, though.  Shouldn't the cost of touring be offset by the cost of tickets/merch?  You're paying to pay again, not paying for a product, which is my problem with it.  It's not like "we need money to get ready for tour, so if you buy a ticket now you can make sure we get to tour."  It's…

DOGS RULE, CATS DROOL

But Amanda Palmer is a piece of shit.

"At press time, buy Doritos"

I GOT THE NUMBER ONE PUMPKIN, FAM.

See, I think the problem with the Eisley thing vs. Bazan isn't just that the author likes Bazan.  It's that Eisley is asking you to fund their album, then pay for the album when it comes out.  David Bazan is saying "Hey, this album is going to come out and you will get a copy, you're just paying in advance", which…

Alternate Title for the Response: Or, How I Learned to Stop Worrying and Love Primer.

Yeezus Shrugged

Speaking of Herzog, I cannot commend Paul F. Tompkins' 4-week residency on Doug Loves Movies as Werner Herzog enough.  It is amazing, so many crazy fake-Herzog riffs.

It's the greatest title of all time.

It is not Yeezus

this is what I assume it sounds like when Birdies and Bongoes talk to each other

I've not seen The Shining, but of all the theories I've read the "impossible architecture" one does seem reasonable.  You would never actively think about it, but your brain would attempt to form a coherent map of the place and fail, making it much more disorienting.  I could see that being a real directoral decision.

By the time "Sexx Laws" came out hadn't the Tenacious D show been on already?

@avclub-22eda830d1051274a2581d6466c06e6c:disqus I would totally listen to a radio show named "TALKIN' TWELVE YEAR OLDS WITH DAN AND GARY"
