    Lo and behold, I hit reply to make a comment, and it is already there.  I will just hit "like" instead.

    Which warehouse am I in again?

    Normally I would agree with you.  Except that Bachmann really is stupid and evil, with no chance whatsoever of being elected president, and deserves whatever mockery she gets for putting herself on a national stage.

    So was Lost Highway.  But good lord, Inland Empire was a mess.

    Best one word line reading ever?  You can say "no" in the same inflection he used there, and people get the reference.

    Yes!  I picked them up on the recommendation of Penny Arcade.  The tactical combat and army building elements are straight out of HOMM, but the overworld exploration is driven by the quest & RPG elements instead of a desire for strategic conquest.

    Harry Belafonte — say something crazy!

    Baldur's Gate 1 as well. 

    Farrell's a lightweight.  Pete Steele used to go through two bottles of red during a Typo O show.

    This seems an appropriate time to repost the Crate Review System:

    Pipeline was another inspired one — it's awesome how surf rock can be so easily reinterpreted (faithfully) as thrash metal.  Protest and Survive was my introduction to Discharge, so they get credit for that too.

    I thought that line was misleading too — he's certainly part of the "classic" lineup from Spreading the Disease through Killer B's.

    I don't expect their streaming catalog to be competitive with their DVD catalog for many years, possibly never.  This is a very premature step.  In the meantime, all they've done is destroy value.

    I don't think I would count Black Flag as among Elastica's influences.

    The Soviettes.  I was introduced to them via Pandora streaming, and they were so good I was amazed they'd never broken out to national popularity.  3 girls on guitars, 1 guy on drums, everybody sings.  Their sound was propulsive and hard rocking, with a pop/punk edge — I haven't heard many bands shred like that

    I was wondering when that would show up!

    As much as I like Brad Pitt, it seems he's making a pattern of that.  He's in full-on 12 Monkeys / Snatch mode for the Moneyball trailer.  Normally I'd find that highly entertaining, but in this case it's jarringly far removed from the "real events" the story is based on.

    As a fan of Arkham Horror, these both sound like games I should try.  Dragons and demons are fun, and Pandemic sounds like it would be harder to beat than AH.

    I think they got the "best" and "worst" scenarios backwards.  That sounds awesome!

    The Boston Globe was my introduction to Zippy, I'd never heard of it before I came to the northeast.  I assume that it just doesn't appear in many markets.
