Us. Us would win.

And next in line for prison!

That's why she dumped you!

I thought he was already off the air
Does this mean there's a quota opening for Arsenio?

I, for one, am disappointed that you are no longer taking the fragmented commentary of 100 or so anonymous people (half of which are just passing through) as a unified command not to buy any of these albums. Oh well, we had a good run.

She probably has as much chance at lasting as the government doctor and the peppermint tea chick.

Welcome to the AV Club. Every opinion along the spectrum of dipshittery gets voiced. Here's one: the Mars Volta is prog-rock for homeschooled high schoolers. I don't know how anyone could listen to the 70s Italian masters and then settle down with the ultra-compressed, ultra-wonky fartfest the Mars Volta bring without…

live
I guess O'Neal interviewed him when he came to Austin with Michael Black last week. It was a pretty good show, my first taste of live stand-up, actually. It was at a bar/music venue, they performed outside, and even with heatlamps and tents it was fucking cold.

And the same thing applies to Beck. Like Dylan, he tends to keep his lyrical intent close to his vest, and he tends to shuffle the same musical elements about (tho Beck allowed himself a bigger canvas at first). But it doesn't ever move me. It's great party music, but that's all. I know when "Odelay" dropped people…

BEASTIES
It's interesting to observe how the Beasties' critical standing has taken a few hits recently. I've read a couple repudiations from aging hipsters who grew up with the Beasties' post-modern stew. I for one can't go back to much of "Check Your Head" or "Ill Communication", because I ended up seeking out the…

hmm
The comments are jacked up this morning. Two more and I'm done: Birth Control's "Increase" and Sabbath's "Technical Ecstacy"!

and if we're talking newer shit
"Synergy" by Extol is ridiculously charming. Death on a see-saw with a monk, with the abbey looking on nervously.

a few thoughts
The Camel cover is choice. Is was gonna suggest Beggars Opera's "Pathfinder," cos it's an astronaut riding a damn horse with the moon in his visor, but that works.

oh boy!
It's on now. Lemme check my archives.

Zen, you haven't tried sipping on some sizzurp?

God, I hope the marketing department has the balls to put "the Oscar-nominated comedy" on future DVD packages. Norbit being nominated for an Academy Award made my day.

plot inconsistencies!
In a big-budget Hollywood film! This truly is the height of absurdity, and I will adopt a tone of high dudgeon in all Cloverfield conversations from now on. I'm certainly glad we have someone holding our nation's filmmakers to a higher standard of craft for a fucking monster movie. This really…

All I ever needed to know about these things called women:

FUCK yeah.
