I always thought Adam's Song was a reference to the Mr. Show sketch/Titannica's song "Try Again (Adam's Song)".  I'm assuming it's a serious song which makes it an oddly jokey choice for a title.  I refuse to listen to it to confirm because… yuck

Do you think the guitar player finally made the varsity squad?

This has a really snotty "peer review" kind of feel that needs to stay in college composition classes, but yeah, this song sucks.

Thanks A.V. Club!  What's New Found Glory up to?

cool earring, Steve

The Young and the Restless may be able to sue over that piano part though

Sounds like a pretty generic baseline to me, I don't think the Decemberists lawsuit is gonna pan out

well, I don't know anything about that but the cédille is also incorrect, do they say anything about under the "c"

Quebeçois is incorrect, should be Québécois

Jesse Pinkman: Aryan Meth Gimp

Wake me up when you get to the part about how they're the best band of the 90's

Hey, Will Harris- if it's any consolation, apparently late 80's PiL bassist Alan Diaz wrote "Don't Ask Me" for Lydon.  It could have been a nice gesture to give a long time band member some publishing royalties.  It wasn't, but that's what I tell myself

Is this really 11 minutes long?  Good god, I don't think I'll make it

Sounds like a hit to me, no one ever went broke underestimating the intelligence of the American public

Upon re-watching this I realized that Entmann's death was a parody of Charlize Theron's Death in Prometheus.  Why didn't he just run sideways?

Speedy Ortiz was the name of a character from the comic Love and Rockets

The backstreet boys part is pretty dire but there are some good laughs throughout the first two parts… typical mainstream comedy falls apart in the third act.  Does anybody think the christian redemption thing was pandering… obviously it's not so fundamentalist or anything, but I thought it would have been funnier if

Is it just me or does Sound Opinions drive anybody else crazy?  Those guys are such ass-lickers in that obnoxious Matt Pinfield way

Nabin, I would have gone with the stately portmanteau of "Travomlin"… cuz there's a little vom in there.  Sad to see you go as yr my fave writer on this site but I look forward to getting your book in June and to check out what you do in the future.  Cheers!

their brooklyn hipster series is pretty funny
