You can be the main actress? What is a main actress? That is a really awful way to describe a leading lady.

I'm liking this as hard as I possibly can.

Oh, OK. I get it. It's satire, right? Like, obviously no one who willingly consumes Corona has ever had a blow job.

Man, Us is such a solid album. Re: "Steam" - it took me 10 years to understand what he meant about "steaming out the log jam." I always thought it was some archaic defrosting method - until I realized that log jam isn't something you put on toast.

I had the titular line in Star Wars.

Wow. I just Googled that shit and boy was it awful. I'm not a Joan Jett purist or anything, but that is just wrong.

Speaking of the ways we show our age… This new box set doesn't sound much different from the Shine On box set from '92.

Nah. Jeff has the Poirot box set on VHS.

Sorry, dude, "curated" is more than appropriate here. Aside from performing, each band member either had his own art installation and/or sought out exhibitors of their choosing. Way to be a dick though.

Is that copy of Trace on vinyl? Will you take two hundo for it?

Holy shit, you just gave me the best idea ever. Anyone have a contact at Transition Lenses? We're gonna be rich, Stone Cold Stephen F Austin, rich I say!

"We Didn't Start the Fire" ?

Jesus' Son = Awesome

Love these guys. They put on a hell of a live show. One of my fondest memories in onstage collaboration is them joining Jarvis Cocker for You're in My Eyes (Discosong) at the Fillmore a few years back.

"The decade-spanning trailer splits its running time between
slash-fic-worthy DiCaprio-Hammer tension, Oscar-baiting footage of Dame
Judy Dench as Hoover’s mother, and a voiceover which, were it not for
the archival footage splaying out underneath, could almost be mistaken
for a monologue from Elmer Fudd."

Here's my shameless plug for Riding with Death…

Oh, I get it. "Dawn" is a Mormon euphemism for "hymen."

Modern music in a period piece about journalism? Really? How do you fuck that up? Jesus Fucking Christ.

He totally does! Remember when that song was on Beavis and Butthead?
