Monday…
Ryan wasn't talking about the results show being on Monday. He was whoring out Moment of Truth, now that everyone in the world has lost interest in it.

Noriega, Fujimori and Pinochet are also out of power. We're talking about history here.

I've got no problem with Nilsson night. That should be an actual theme sometime.

Castro and Noriega
Has anyone noticed that there's a Castro and a Noriega in here this season? Are we shaping up to have a battle of the Latin American dictators?

The wispy child molester mustache didn't do him any favors either. But I loved the Lovin Spoonful song, so I can't give him too much hate.

And sexist too
Why can only women be gold diggers? I know some deadbeat dudes with rock-hard abs that would be perfect for such a project.

Buena Vista Social Club
Is Buena Vista Social Club going to be covered under Ry Cooder, or do you really not have that album? If not, give me your address and expect a Christmas present.

Oops, I just noticed it was already covered above. No delete button, so feel free to ignore this.

This page always freezes up Firefox for me, and I have to go into the task manager to shut it down. The Popless column does it every week, and nothing else on the AV Club (or the rest of the Internet) has the same effect.

Brian Eno
Brian Eno passed by without a word? I just went on a big ambient kick this last week, so maybe I'm being too sensitive, but I'd think there would be something worth saying about him.

Based on what the vocal coach was saying to him, it sounded like he had tried to rehearse with the band. But he couldn't make it all the way through the song while having his style fucked up by professional instrumental accompaniment, so he whined like a bitch and walked out.

Josiah the Boy Who Lives in His Car
Although they didn't show the rehearsals, I think I know why Josiah dismissed the band. That dude cannot hold a tempo to save his life. His tone is okay, but put a metronome behind him and you'll see blood come out of his eyes. I almost want him to go through just to see what…

Blood, Sweat and Tears
I love '70s horn bands. Glad they've made an appearance.

Quicksilver Messenger Company?
Did you mean Quicksilver Messenger Service, or is there another jam band I'm unfamiliar with?

Spanglish
You forgot Spanglish. Man, that movie was filled with bullshit.

Crankin' with Julie
Julie has clearly done an obscene amount of meth in the four years since American Juniors. They should play that clip in D.A.R.E. assemblies. Most effective anti-drug propaganda ever.

Similar Names
The first time I saw a Steeleye Span album at the music store, I assumed that they were ripping off Steely Dan. Shows what I know, eh?

Benny Goodman
Well done on including Benny Goodman. That dude is the shit.
