I was on my way back from the library here in Austin (I picked up World War Z) and I was listening to the local NPR station KUT, one of the only good radio stations in Austin which is surprising considering Austin's musical pride, and the station transitioned from one song to the next without a…

Well, there goes her legacy in pop culture. We only revere those who die young from drug overdoses or car crashes, you know the irresponsible things in life, not boring natural causes or medical issues.

I don't think that Ryan Gosling actually stopped the fight, I think it was the high pitched screams from the girls (and some guys (not that there is anything wrong with that)) in the crowd that confused the participants of the fight into a state of forgiveness and compassion.

I've been running competitively for over 8 years now and while I haven't run a marathon I have done several half marathons sans headphones. Maybe it is because I started running before you really could run with some sort of music player and I usually always ran with people but I can't stand running with…

Hey Juggernaut Bitch, I would hate it if they adopted a singular standard for all reviewers, I would rather they each individual have their own standard, or in the very least do a better job explaining the reasons behind each grade. But they need to do something, because I have a hard time taking these grades…

This review makes none. The majority of it is negative and the only positive aspects of it are that Glee fans will like it. How does that give it a B-? The Help got a D+ because it caters to white middle class people with white guilt. By this review that should have received an A+ because white people are going…

The album seems to have more of an electronic beat to it than Pump Up the Kicks, the first track has cadences of Ratatat in the background, with of course much more vocal than them as well.

When I was 18, a week before I was to graduate High School my mom passed away. It didn't really hit me until months later when I was making my way through my first semester of freshman year. I don't know if I found Elliott Smith right when it started to hit me or if he just helped me deal with my emotions more but…

a brief vignette
I was in 7th grade in September of 2001 and had spent my entire life raised in a conservative christian household. If I hadn't been 12 in 2000 I would have voted for Bush. But after 9/11 and especially the beginning of the Iraq War things changed. I don't know why I was so special but for some reason…

I found Monty early as my Dad had Flying Circus on VHS and I still love them today. I didn't find Izzard until junior year of high school and hitchhikers until senior year. Which I guess was good because having to go to a private Christian school until 8th grade kinda messed up my mind a little and I couldn't really…

I guess 9/11 & the afternath already had screwed up the way I saw suburbia more that AB ever could

Yeah.. this was one of those that I missed at the right time, I watched Fight Club first and got that whole angst out of the way and then when I watch American Beauty years later it just paled not just to Fight Club but also so many more movies. That was really a movie that spoke to a specific time period, which was…

Rushmore was the movie I watched when I was 15, on of all things comedy central, that made me realize movies don't have to be generic action, comedy or romance. But rather an offbeat composite of all three that I can still enjoy to this day. I love Wes Anderson no matter how uncool or pseudo-hip he is; because he…

Calvin & Hobbes
I don't know when I first started reading them but I was young and it might have even been right as it ended as I was just turning seven. But looking back on my relationship with Calvin and Hobbes I can see just how much it influenced my adolescence and who I have become today. Encouraging my…

Didn't cookie monster already address this issue and make it to AV Club comment of the week or whatever that is. I feel as this is fairly resolved. I mean I can just scroll down and read his response. There really was no need to bring this up again. But what more can I expect from Rebecca Black

Just a few more inclusions
Elliott Smith - I would go Roman Candle to Figure 8 but am willing to accept self-titled to From a Basement…
Modest Mouse - Easily from Long Drive to We Were Dead, though you could make a case for a number of their "ep's", Building, Sad Sappy, Night on the Sun. If you want to be pickier…

Dusk! With a creepy tingling sensation, you hear the fluttering of leathery wings! Bats! with glowing red eyes and glistening fangs, these unspeakable giant bugs drop onto….

I can't count the number of times I have walked into a room and greeted the people there with, "hey, hermano". I love Buster's delivery of it.
