I'd say every other show Lineham has done is funnier, especially the Chris Morris stuff.

Double posting this: Matt Berry is great, but Chris Morris is amazing. It's like comparing a modern indie band to an early trailblazer. The modern band is good, sure, but that old band blazed new territory.

Chris Morris is never the weakest part of anything.

I think at a certain point you should start to realize that just about anyone who gets on SNL is talented. If they appear otherwise, blame the show. I could name at least ten people I did not enjoy on SNL that later impressed me.

Jack Kirby sure is "artistically retarded."

@avclub-394dc8be941678fb1dcfc647005e6af6:disqus  He does them most years but not every year. I think issue 9 came out last year and the first came out in 2000. A good amount of them are out of print so I hope a collection is coming soon.

Isolation Drills has a bunch of really good songs but a lot of them are superficially similar and it starts to get a bit samey. Glad…

I know this is weeks late, but make sure you listen to ELL last. It's my least favorite of the new stuff for sure. I think a B is a tad too high. There are some slow, draggy songs that remind me of the back half of Half Smiles.

Pepper and Cannonball are both pretty poppy. Pepper is just a weird goof on Beck and it makes sense that it hit the charts when he was a huge act.

Gotta remember that the early to mid 90s semi-embraced weirder alternative acts.

@avclub-ec581d0fa82907dc6f58d1e70bf346b0:disqus  I started following one girl on twitter the day of the lockdown because she was posting this crap and it amused the hell out of me. She's clearly NOT in her teens.

On my first watch I thought it started to slide a tad around series 4, except for these two episodes. On my many rewatches I don't really notice the decline as much, except for small things. Such as, say, Jez's love interest in series 7 was probably his worst ever.

@avclub-072a15c6e8c7feb872965d04206db166:disqus  The longer Peep Show runs the more sympathy I have for Jez and the less I have for Mark.

Hate is the defining work on post MTV hipsters. I think it will age a lot better than On the Road too.

Would you say it's worth a look anyhow? I own and love a good amount of Morrison's stuff but there's an equal amount that frustrates the hell out of me.

@avclub-cfe912f5cb3aa572bd1c9ae2a9b82207:disqus  If you didn't like those albums, I'd recommend trying the Black Francis stuff. It's all been pretty great so far.

Depends what era you're looking to get into!

I don't think Taylor Swift would be criticized about dating so many guys if she didn't write so many songs that make it obvious who she's singing about. I think it's pretty odious that fans have somehow managed to track down some guy she pined after in high school.
