The Hater's comments work for me on Safari, but not on IE on a PC. All other comment sections seem to work fine right now on both. Just thought I'd let you know—don't think I'm the only one having trouble.

Isn't there a White Stripes song with a reference to 2525? I think it's just that it's going to take the narrator that long to learn something, but I wonder if it's a sidelong allusion.

Yeah, hobo
They mentioned it here a couple of weeks ago. It's also in the sidebar at Pitchfork, I think.

Sounds to me like he's saying people have to hear the song before the band dies. I'll listen to the song right now if it'll hasten their demise. Heck, I'll risk my life pulling a cross-country Lloyd Dobler drive-by of it if that'll get them off the radio, the elevator, the store PA, the television shows, the…

You're really digging that link, huh?

remixes

Much as I loved the Will Shortz movie
I can't imagine this has insanely broad appeal.

Holla.
Props on the Voice of Black America thing, but dinging them for hiring someone who would one day create the execrable Batman & Robin is sort of like faulting Motown Records for signing a future pedophile, isn't it?

Can we send AFI to Antarctica?
And leave them there?

Much as I hate conservatives…
…some of their satire of magazine conventions is pretty spot-on. The one about hot political positions made me chuckle a little. They do need to seriously work on the delivery, though, and most of the rest of the jokes.
