Are there any more mariachi band songs describing the plot lines?

Bejar's role on the albums struck me as something of a pallet cleanser. I'm curious how they will handle his absence in concert. Will AC sing his songs, will he be on tour with them? The mind reels.

Great riff on "Chump Change". I would put "Ballad of a Comeback Kid" up there as Bejar's best NP contribution.

It is really fantastic. A.C. Newman apparently cannot write a bad song.

Spoon: Hot Thoughts
Cloud Nothings: Life Without Sound
Real Estate: In Mind

I find myself going back to In Rainbows. I think when all's said and done for Radiohead, that album will stand as the quintessential distillation of all of their disparate soundscapes over the years.

"I killed a man cuz he killed my goat" is the best opening lyric to a song.

Saw Hippo Campus last week: pretty good show - young guys with some good indie chops. Looking forward to seeing what comes next from them.

The barking dog is a dog whistle to kill like notorious zodiac killer Ted Cruz.

The recent Mississippi Grind is also a great, underrated gambling movie.

LOL spot on. Or Wolf Deer Beer.

Stupid, crusty old dean.

I look at this show through the Woody Allen prism of casting and writing. Sure, Woody would likely never be romantically paired up with the likes of young Diane Keaton or Elisabeth Shue, but like with other non-believable elements of a movie or show, you just suspend disbelief.

Some solid Apatow-style romcom shtick in that scene.

Randy could never be as funny as Bevers was in the episode where they go pick up the package at North Brother Island.

He was just trying to sell him tickets to his meditation retreat, so not the most engaged (or ethical) therapist.

Brennan's was enjoyable in parts, but the whole "three mic" thing felt like a trying to hard conceit. His personal stories certainly felt honest, with genuine self-reflection, but I'm not sure they belong shoehorned in between one-liners and general stand-up setups.

"Hear, hear!" - Sir Mix-A-Lot.

I agree with this, and part of my problem with appreciating Burr's newest special is over-saturation. I used to love all things Burr, and watched every interview and listened to his podcast. But once the special came out, it just felt like more of the same, with way less hilarious impact than previous stand-ups. He…
