No Noah so far has helped as well. Aside from a couple of the episodes featuring his family (especially his wife), the character's never really clicked for me. Not that I wish unemployment on one of my favourite actors, but I wish Suburgatory would kick Tudyk loose so he could find a show willing to utilise his full…

Yeah, I'd have liked John to give a little more background to that statement. It might just be that the "really great" of Mario games is the same as the "epochal" of other series, and in that case, I can understand the rationale behind hyping up SM3DW as a return to form. Still, that's a pretty stellar clutch of games…

I'm a bit taken by Masters of Sex casting incongruously big(ish) name actors as one-scene study participants, like Whitman and Anne Dudek (there have been a couple more, no?).
But yes, Whitman is indeed the bees knees, and should have all the awards and be in all the things.

I'm not sure if they have any videos up to the standard of those we were used to in the time of the Clinton administration, but here are a few of the ones they've done (at least all the songs are amazing):

I'm not sure if it's my favourite (I love FOTL to such a degree that it's hard to pick one release), but I definitely share your love for the Polymers EP. Penultimate track "Dry Hate" is very high up my list of favourite songs of theirs. "It's a shame that you came when the lights were out/you can always be foreign…

I agree, there's not a lot to sympathise with about Will's anger, but, especially after this episode and Josh Charles' amazing performance, there's a lot to empathise with.

I thought we went over this last week. Surely it's "Seamus O'Moblawyer"? Be more specific in your ethnic stereotype signifiers.

Ah, The Commitments. Love that movie.

That's the exact problem, though! The holiday season rocks, it doesn't punk!

Shouldn't that be "O'Moblawyer"? He's Irish, not Scottish.

Dionysus, presumably?

Yeah, that's pretty obscene. There's a mastering engineer out there somewhere who's either obliviously happy or completely disgusted with themselves.

Diaphanous.

Okay, this "one other person is typing" function in NuDisqus is really creepy. I feel like I should call the Ghostbusters or something.

Sometimes, I preorder stuff on Amazon or The Book Depository, and promptly forget all about it. This will lead to a) me suddenly having less money than expected in my account at an inopportune moment and/or b) something rather awesome suddenly appearing in my mailbox.

Gosh dang it, that's a beautiful record. Say, you don't happen to have some sort of newsletter to which I can subscribe?
I loved how she's able to make as much of a big and all-enveloping sound as the most full-blooded of shoegazey orchestras, with considerably sparser means. Music like this is not really dead-centre…

So close, yet so far away.

I've pretty much given up on staying current with music; I have such scatter-shot tastes that keeping up with it all to the degree demanded by my obsessive-compulsive mind is too taxing. I miss discussing music on a regular basis, though; the last few times I've had those conversations in real life, it's felt like a…

Thanks! Will have to check out the Grouper record; given the rightness of the rest of your picks (Deafheaven!), I'm quite excited to hear it.

I just checked out Sister, and you were right, it's pretty damn amazing. Although I could definitely hear hints of the post-punk luminaries mentioned by yourself and @carson in his voice, I thought Pelle Åman's voice had enough of a distinct quality to it that it didn't set off any bothersome sense of deja vu with me.
