As a Hoosier, I maintain that Ohio is soundly better.  No fewer than 2 major amusement parks (King's Island and Ceder Point, while the best we can muster is Indiana Beach and Holiday World), The Rock 'n Roll Hall of Fame, and one of the few Tim Hortons on this side of the Canadian border.

I'll admit: I tried to get into GBV.  I feel funny about this because, even though I don't feel like I can claim to be a fan, "Do The Collapse" is now on my list of top 10 best albums ever, and is frequently my "go-to" when somebody asks for a recommendation of something they've never heard before.

I'd like to call bullshit on singles not representing the catalog, but to some degree I think he's right.  Not so much that a single can't represent an artists whole catalog, but a single can make it very difficult to gauge the growth (and even genre) of a band.  It's kind of like trying to determine a straight line…

Scrubs was the first place I really noticed him, but like any great character actor, once you notice them, you start seeing them in a ton of stuff you've been watching for years anyway.

"…. or at least watch it the same way I watched Torchwood: Miracle Day"

It's an early warning system.

It honestly could have worked- NBC was at the top of it's game at that point, and there was pretty much no new show on bigger than Heroes.  They could have simply had an epilogue ready to go at the end of S1, introducing either the new cast, or a completely new story, or some combination, and dedicate themselves to…

Heroes is the first show I have ever bailed on.  Sure, I've lost touch with shows along the way before, but this is the first one I was ever dedicated to following, and then eventually just said, "You know what?  Fuck this."  I was actually willing to put up with a lot of shit from it, too, until it made possibly the…

Wait…so, it's an entirely new main cast with occasional cameos from the original cast?

Thank you, @avclub-da496e2db2e50a068b4ae5549d4ae1b0:disqus . Everyone always forgets that it was a rent-controlled apartment.  Far more disconcerting is how Joey and Chandler (then later Joey and anyone else) could afford an apartment in the same building.  Although, as time wore on and Joey became a more successful…

I stumbled upon it one afternoon while they were running a marathon of season 1.  The tone of the thing really sort of struck me as almost a cross between "Undressed" and Easy A (a flick my wife and I both enjoyed tremendously).  It's one of those weird things were, honestly, the show just doesn't seem quite as clever…

LOVED this movie.  Of course, I was a band geek, and we used the movie as an excuse to convince our director to let us play "Sing, Sing, Sing" one year for marching band.

It's weird— I love that movie, but I mostly hate KISS.  I particularly enjoy the fact that it was produced by KISS, and yet the filmmakers managed to get in a couple of decent digs, such as the (paraphrased_ "No way, man- KISS would never sell out and make a disco record!"

I'm seriously tempted to do this now, aside from the fact that I'm worried I'd never keep my two accounts straight.

@avclub-cd1db6bdaab0f94ac28022bf20b6d1a6:disqus, thank you for being someone else on the internet that realizes that there were Law & Order spinoffs that did not have "Law & Order" in the title.

"Saturday Night Special"

Arsonist storyline?  Obviously "Burning Down The House".  Never mind that Eureka did it first.

I'm calling it now: "I Don't Like Mondays", "Jeremy", and "Pumped Up Kicks" are all performed.

I missed out on the initial release of Stars On 45, but I remember it still getting a good amount of airplay, locally at least, as I was growing up (early 80s).  Along these same lines, though, I greatly enjoyed "Swing The Mood" by Jive Bunny and the Mastermixers when it came out.
