Oh Warren, your pecs are so big!

"But the best parts of Out Of Time were the pure pop moments: “Near Wild Heaven” is R.E.M.’s sweetest, most effervescent melody, and though “Shiny Happy People” was maligned and helped to kick-start an R.E.M. backlash, it showed that the band was still willing to risk looking silly even when on a larger stage.

Boom shanka.

SUCKER PUNCH nearly made me throw up because Zack Snyder isn't interested in women sexually he just likes seeing them beat up.

Srsly tho. When I go to shows bad things tend to happen. Like Stevie Ray Vaughan dying. (Yes, I was really at that show.)

All bands. I never go out.

But I'm far too lazy. I only got a verse and a half into my cowboy song recounting the tale of Bloodrayne and now the notebook's been sitting there for 2 years.

I wish Weird Al would do a parody of Neutral Milk Hotel's "Oh Comely" - "Oh Chumley", a surreal epic paean on the unrequited lust of a talking penguin for his walrus pal. Sure, it doesn't have the mass appeal that Al usually goes for, but there's a certain segment of his audience who would be blown away.

to throw obstructions into the path of their matrimony (which could come off as
contrived or arbitrary, even though he has planted enough narrative seeds to
justify some…

I thought "Some Kind of Wonderful" was the consensus "OK" Grand Funk Railroad song.

That's funny, because Fitter Happier is the only Radiohead I routinely skip when it comes up. Once you've grasped the conceit, there's really no reason to listen it again - it gains nothing with repeated listenings.

If you google "Sunsphere" one of the first images is this cute hipster chick with big boobs leaning over for some reason while on a visit.
