Payle/Qualin 2016:  White and scared

Is it OK if, when I see Erik's initials next to a comment, I pretend that it was Erin Andrews?

Yeah the only problem I can see with Eye in the Sky was it got popular. "You're Gonna Get Your Fingers Burned" is an all-time fave. "Step By Step" and "Psychobabble" are pretty great too.

A+. Sondheim's gotta count here, right?

Unconditionally liked. Fuckin' Graham Parker knows what it's about.

I like Gimme Some. It's not Writer's Block but it's more than decent.

Dennis De Young? Doesn't count. He's not a musician. As "Desert Moon" proved.

Why else make art?

"The Stand" by The Alarm was based on…well…The Stand. Awesome song to boot.

Actually, I think "Games People Play" and "Time" were their biggest US hits.

Snoopy Vs. The Red Baron?

I am. And your green posts are too loud.

That song was so inspiring to me that I actually grew up to be a Debaser. Haven't regretted a minute of it.

So you're saying you're the reason Kurt killed himself? Did I understand that right?

I'm doing laundry!!

I'm waiting for that Wally Wifebeater album.

Yeah, but when's he ever gonna do a follow-up to Let's Kill Saturday Night? That album was damn near perfect and rocked like a motherfucker. I know he had a real bad experience with the record company over that record and got some ridiculously unfair reviews for it. But it was such a wonderful departure for him I'd…

Take one listen to "Caroline" and you'll realize just how failed a firstie you just laid there @avclub-85b0faa88b92483cbe957df7eb9602cd:disqus .

While I disagree, I would second you on seeing him live. And I think "That's Where I'm From" is the older man's counterpoint to "Fuck This Town."

Seriously. And what the fuck better does ABC fucking Family have to put on that's better than Bunheads?? I'm gonna miss that show…it was a guaranteed hour that my 13 year old daughter wouldn't be over-emoting at me. *sigh*
