    Damn. Wait, "repetitive"?

    I wish "cool story" could still be said with sincerity, because that actually was cool, Superdeformed.

    Didn't you call all rappers "talentless criminals" a while back?

    Not perfect grammar, always perfect timing, the "Mike" stands for money and the "D" is for diamond.

    This list compels me to a) go do some MCing and b) blast Paul's Boutique from my car.

    Shout Out
    Kudos to Stevie Hyde, Kos-Kos, J-Mod, Noelray, Kipps, Nat-Rab, and K-Ry. This Inventory was so fun, and it must have been a blast to put together. I would love to work at a place where I can make money combing through Beastie Boys lyrics and decoding them.

    I think when the said they had "mad hits like Rod Carew", they were referring to the nature and quality of their hits, not their quantity.

    Phone is ringin'. Oh my gawd.

    I've been playing this (along with many other albums) after Nathan's My Favorite Music Year piece on 1994.

    They tell us what to do?
    HELL NO!

    Yeah, this is one of the greatest things A.V. Club has ever done, period.

    Kolchak, it seems you've made up your mind. But I insist that you at least listen to Paul's Boutique, if you haven't already (and if you consider them "one step above" Durst's band, I'm convinced you haven't). It is legitimately one of the greatest albums ever made.

    That was really touching.

    Oh man, good call. Stella would probably thrive on Adult Swim. Also, isn't there an Odd Future project in the works?

    "Johnny Marr may put his dislike of Morrissey into book form"
    Is up there on the list of A+ Newswire headlines.

    Ditto. I do that little move at :28 - :32 whenever I play keyboard.

    I love John ragging Kurt about Captain Ron.
