The "War, ain't it quirky?" genre.

Not to mention the fact that there is a whole slew of untapped old TV serialized shows for the studios to "pseudo-parody" in this way. 21 Jump Street was an original concept; cheekily self-aware. But what happens when we're faced with the Six-Million Dollar Man starring Danny McBride, Knight Rider with Effron, etc.?

I agree and I think hate is a strong word to describe most people's opinions of Prometheus. I think it suffered from a lack of cohesive vision, both from a writing and marketing standpoints, which served to only confuse and divide the fan base on how to receive it. Those clamoring for a non-"Vs." Alien film didn't

AV Club: "Deeply Stupid but Stunningly Beautiful".

Yeah about that…caught her set; was not impressed. Nearly an hour of slow, sad-sack acoustic songs with no energy or variety. Put the crowd to sleep. Sad!

Where'd ya stay in Vegas?

Going to see the New Pornographers tonight!

Blackjack table!

I think "On Melancholy Hill" is their best song.

Today's CBB is one for the ages. If only Fivel had stopped by it would make top two or three greatest ever.

Charly Bliss album is great. Reminds me of the most recent The Go! Team album "The Scene Between". Fans of Charly Bliss will like the vocal and melodic similarities.

Will we get a "Let the Mystery Be" or creepy moving rapture mural opening credits sequence next time?

They've also started adding more click-baity lists and news to boost traffic.

Agreed. To be fair, the reviewer does admit that the NP's later albums take more than a few listens to truly grade appropriately.
