Glad to see I'm not the only one who didn't immediately recognize her in this, but upon seeing the name, immediately made the jump to Envy Adams.

Is there anyone else that was dying to know what the rest of her set would have been?  You never start your show with the only two songs the crowd knows.

Gabba gabba we accept you, we accept you, one of us

My wife stopped asking me "what time is it?" because I will instinctively answer with "fo' thirtaay" whether it is or not.  I will unashamedly claim to love the Spin Doctors, having bought not only "Pocket Full of Kryptonite", but also "Turn It Upside Down", and yes, "Homebelly Groove", which was listened to…

I *ahem* "magically obtained" a version called "Every Brick In The Wall", which is essentially the full thing pieced together from the original album, the live album, the "Tigers Broke Free" single, and audio sourced from the DVD.  Fairly brilliant, but I would have made some different editing choices.  A damn good…

I'd totally watch a show set to the sounds of "Chicago Transit Authority" (aka "Chicago I").

I'm not sure what constitutes a "bomb" anymore.  It used to seem clear that anything that didn't turn a profit was a bomb.  For a while, though, it was anything that didn't turn a profit domestically was a bomb.  Now it seems like anything that doesn't make at least triple it's budget is declared a bomb.

There's actually a lot of rule variants that turn it into a really fun game.  There's one I particularly enjoy where if anyone plays a predetermined card, everyone hands all their cards to the person to the left.  It's very satisfying to be forced to pick up a ton of cards, and then suddenly hand them all to the…

Son of a bitch….you've just willed the movie into existence with a (seemingly) clever tagline, @avclub-cfe912f5cb3aa572bd1c9ae2a9b82207:disqus.  Thanks a lot.

You know, they're getting a lot of shit around here, but I genuinely kinda liked them.  I was by no means a huge fan, but they were certainly not among the worst things to happen in music over the past 12 years.  They were capable of solid songwriting and reasonable musicianship.  The biggest issue, I came to the…

Yet another piece of hipster ephemera that confuses me.  Does it make me a hipster that I genuinely enjoyed Nightmare Before Christmas before any of these Hot Topic-shopping hipsters, because I was actually alive when it came out?

Well, great…now when I dirtily wink and say to my wife "Darlin' it's better down where it's wetter", I'm gonna be thinking of this instead of thinking about how much I'd like to….

The two I remakes I was constantly in fear of during Eisner's era were this and "The Cat From Outer Space".  But, I don't know….now that seemingly every single film script has to get by either John Lasseter or Joss Whedon (which isn't a bad way to run a studio)….could be good.

Dammit, @avclub-e57f718840a576abbb40a7d046c4e3b0:disqus: I was prepared to believe you just happen to know a whole list of Robert Smiths (Roberts Smith?) off the top of your head, only to have you ruin the illusion by mentioning Wikipedia.

When will bands just simply announce dates of cancelled shows as part of the promotional push for the album?

Not sure how much it counts, but the band I used to be in, at one point we included some pretty crazy partial-covers into our sets.  ("Pretty crazy" when you consider that we were a Christian melodic hardcore band.)  We'd kick off the set by blasting through the Imperial March, leading into our actual first song, play…

I'd never seen Weird Al live before I saw him on his "Running With Scissors" tour, and had no idea it was a normal thing, so I was pretty-well surprised by his many unreleased parodies that he does right in the middle of the show.  Even at that, though, he played two shows in my area within about a week of each other…

What pisses me off most about it is….well, I can't do that.  It pisses me off on so many levels.

I expected only the worst from "The Farm", and figured it would be the most painful episode this season- a killed pilot shoehorned into the framework of an already-cramped final season.  Instead, it seems "The Farm" (the never-will-be series) had the opportunity to become a "Frasier" to The Office's "Cheers": a small,…
