Part of the problem with the Warren's list is how many people are on it. Here, hockey is King, and Gretzky was the King of the hockey. No one else came close, and he was traded away to another country in place known more for sun and movie stars than hockey. The nearest American equivalent to Gretzky would possibly be…

Comparing those deals involving players well past both their prime and their team's glory days sorta proves you don't understand. Gretzky was at the peak of his game, probably the best there will ever be, and the Oilers had won four of the last five cups. There was also regional aspects, such being a Canadian home…

Yeah
Americans don't normally really understand what this trade was like, but this show (and Todd) captured it well. It was just a seismic moment, almost a lost of innocence. The closest thing to it in sports would probably be the Sox selling Ruth to the Yankees, but even though that probably has a greater impact in…

While unstated, your laughs were the reason this album didn't get an A. They were frankly amateurish and derivative.

You'd make a valid point if my view was due to his portrayal in the press. But it's not. I work as a sound guy in Montreal, and had an absolutely terrible experience with the prick when he was doing a show with Human Highway. I personally don't see his wit, but even if he has one, it doesn't change his terrible ego…

Well, this is a remix album, so really LCD Soundsystem has much to do with it as every artist ever has to do with Girl Talk albums.

Asshole
Nick Thorburn (or Diamonds or whateva) is such a giant dick I can't listen to his music. It doesn't help that I'm not a huge fan of him post-Unicorns, but he is just the epitome of a prick.

My personal favourite part about noetics in the book is the highly advanced technology used in the only experiment I remember mentioned in full in the book. A damn scale.

Flashing Lights is a fucking awesome song. And totz, the fact you think it has a Daft Punk sample proves you probably shouldn't be in this discussion.

I don't think it is much of an overstatement to say that if you honestly believe Kanye West does not deserve stardom, you have no grasp of contemporary music.

A ton of reasons. Flashing Lights is the one I pick for this occasion.

Well, considering you haven't heard of the number 1, you are probably white. And you are criticizing black people's taste.

I like this.
Critics and weathermen never get called on their misfires. I'd like to see the movie/music version of these. Though, by nature, TV shows are judged by their popularity more than other mediums.

Re: IMAX

I don't have to tell you who I like to tell you Aziz is an unfunny douchenozzle. Horrible stand-up, marginally better actor, all around asshole (see: IMAXgate).

How pathetic was E's response to somewhat clever and cute pizza prank? I know, send him a dildo! Ha! Brillant! But it needs something a bit more…

"It's funny that the disagreeable party is a douche, while everyone else are enlightened purveyors of yes man homerism, truth, and integrity."

Really, critics outside of independent music sites don't discover entertainment or even claim to. That's cause critics are people with jobs who don't have time to dig through crap.

True, except for the part where Kanye also produced. There's not autotune in teamwork!

Ah, I see. In order to enjoy 808s, I have to look past my normal "music should be an enjoyable listenable experience above all" view and turn on my "overanalysis of a rushed vanity project" view?
