For those of you with Spotify (or similar), I recommend checking out the BBC session from the deluxe edition of Kvelertak. One of those rare live recordings that manage to, if not improve on the originals, than definitely offer a very interesting alternative.

I'm only a handful of spins in, but I'm quite thrilled by Meir. It feels more accessible than the debut (though I'm sure that's partly because I'm familiar with their sound this time around), while also pushing further toward both extremes of the hardness scale (often in the same song).
Which other four records are in…

Wow, that sounds like either the best thing or the worst. Must check out. Any specific albums/songs to recommend?

You should check out the studio version; the lead vocals are tons better, and it makes a huge difference. Not that this wasn't a blistering performance, because it was.

This is actually one of the songs where his vocals are at their most melodic (on the record), but he's letting down the side a bit in that regard here. But leavening melodic nuance into a singing style like that is a tightrope-walk on the best of days (sorry for the metaphor-mix), so I can't really fault him for the…

Right?! I'm really looking forward to that book. Did you read the rather amazing interview he did with TCJ a while back?

Yeah, I watched the two first episodes, and it did pretty much nothing for me. And with none of the stage-y qualities of Sean or Mom, I didn't find it interesting on that level either.

Just give me 22 minsute of pros clowning.

Go right ahead, ma'am!

References can be funny and intriguing even if you don't get them — speaking of Ninja Turtles, when I was a kid, I thought the scene in the live action movie where the Turtles are just hanging out in their lair after the first action scene was hilarious, even if I had no idea they were referencing Rocky or some Jimmy…

Or MAD Magazine! (By the time you read this comment, I might have died from realising how ancient I am)

Another comment about how Lego figures' legs work!

Could you be serious?

Yep, someone should definitely get… started on that adaptation.

I know that's probably not a serious suggestion, but still: hush your mouth! I love Natalie Morales as much as the next Middleman fanboy (ART CRAWL), but MGH is a g-d national treasure.

Kid-who-looks-like-Tom-Petty from that Judd Apatow movie that I want to say was called Grown-Ups, but probably had a similarly generic title is really surprising me with his chops. That was one of the most singular drugged-out-for-comedic-effect performances I've ever seen, no foolin'. The pratfall in the tag,…

Rrrrrrrribbit.

On your last point; I agree that both Jason and Oliver's writing is on point right now, although Sava does tend to do that thing where he spends the bulk of his time talking about the story (or the "writing"), while offering up a scant graph or two on the art at the end. It's an approach endemic to comics criticism,…

I hope the former and current Magic players of the AV Club have some sort of sixth sense (I can't believe there's not a card called Sixth Sense by now, by the way) that will call them to bless this thread with all their best MTG/House of Cards jokes. Personally, I'm looking forward to the one about deck protectors.

Once, I trusted the demented people who write the closed captions. Never again.
