I feel like I'm a little light on the spectrum and I love Thomas the Tank Engine.

Good lord I am not well read. That said, I think the Series of Unfortunate Events novels would make a fun hour-long miniseries; suiting the originals much better than the dreadful Jim Carrey adaptation.

No Fionna and Cake?

Judging people seriously based on what fiction they enjoy is an insufferable, pointless thing to do.

The whole live album they did on that first reunion really drags. I say if the man can't keep up, and it's a shame if he can't because he plays in a wonderful, dead style, he shouldn't tour with them.

It seems silly, but drumming is a very physically taxing experience. Scott Asheton, Original Stooges Drummer, was absolutely tanking the last few years, and his replacement has made the whole band much better. It doesn't matter if Ozzy's fat, he can pretty much do anything and the band will be fine. If Ward drags

When Black Flag faced legal problems in the early 80s they just performed under their last names. FLAG's had this backup plan all along.

I felt sorry for Ice King's victimization as an adversary for Flame Princess. The two may be elementally different, but they both are used to long times concealed and left alone, their great power as much a burden as an advantage, and while they both have an evil, villainous streak, usually it's just because they get

You blew it.

American Pie. Oh my God. That's a song I'm extremely tired of having people explain to me. I don't care if it's a thinly veiled reference to the death of Buddy Holly. I like Buddy Holly, but the whole "man rock n roll used to be so good in the 50s" sentiment is extremely weird to me, especially as the song itself has

I think he can only use it in order to say Soliloquies though, and when he's done talking time goes on again. Meaning his only ability is to talk to himself and have nobody hear him.

You mean my mom?

I would argue that Moving Pictures is a much better way to get in. Use of synth that neither overpowers nor backs away from the rest of the album. Four of the band's biggest songs. One epic, and one song that features the lyric "everybody need reverse polarity".

Because Werner Herzog isn't directing it.

You just sold me a vinyl, AV Club.

I hope they kill off Chris.

No song can truly define an era, unless Kanye does it.

Thank you, Penn Ward, for toning this down.
