He didn't acquiesce to shit, he got yanked down.

I'm in a bit of a drought, my last one was Bloc Party at the end of July who were surprisingly good for a band missing half its original members who haven't released a good album in a decade.

I haven't read anything by him in ages but that sounds pretty interesting.

I picked up a couple 4-packs of Great Lakes Nosferatu which may be my single favorite beer that I always forget about when it's not in season.

Angel Olsen's new album. I missed her show on Monday because of trying to rein in spending but I am mad at myself now.

Oh yeah, I should have clarified that I missed classic Blastoff I guess. Those last couple months were pretty depressing actually when Tig was often literally phoning it in.

You did the same joke as Guy Incognito. Let that marinate.

I haven't watched it yet, which I would not have believed about myself 2 years ago, and your review is kind of exactly what I feared/figured. Man, I still mourn Blastoff pretty much weekly too.

New developments even now!

I finally finished listening to the CBB tour and Baltz's basketball comedian/alcoholic who kept mentioning a "crush" was definitely one of the highlights.

Yeah, I gained a new appreciation for "The Tortoise and the Tourist" when I saw them open a show with it and it just rocked so hard.

That was a great ep. Probably the greatest ep ever of I Love Films ("Have you seen any good ones latel?" "No."), a character becoming completely derailed from their only hook immediately, and It's Your Boy Troy was just a fun, energetic character.

They're scheduled for that Now Hear This fest at the end of October so I'm hoping it's just them being silly, but if/when it does end it will probably be on a note exactly like that, so it's also scary.

I figured after 70 episodes or so I knew the quirks of both of the hosts of Dougboys pretty well and wouldn't be too taken aback by anything they'd say, but then Wiger goes on a long, angry rant about how much Heathcliff sucks. That was amazing.

Was Vice Principals coverage dropped?

Oh man, this is actually an egregious oversight.
