They sell it at target? Your Mom's heard of it? If it's playing in the backround you can continue with whatever you're doing without even noticing it's there?

Yeah, I wasn't gonna bother with a response but, what madbtnk said.

You just summed up my feelings exactly. Was season 1 just these guys getting their bearings or was season 2 a fluke? Guess we're gonna find out.

"Any suggestions on how I should play this?"

Glenda, Witch Hazel, those three crones from Macbeth

That's a crude drawing of an imminent titty fuck.

Yeah, I haven't thought about this song in ages but when I saw this I had to physically stifle a groan. It's fun for a few minutes but I'm glad I more or less purged this turd from my interior world long ago.

We can only hope there are Wiser Times ahead, when he'll see the error of his ways.

And if we're honest. The apporopriate level of enthusiasm for AC/DC is "I own one or two of their records but its been ages since Ive played them" and "if they come on the radio I do not change the channel." I'm glad they exist.

Fuck man, if you werean adolescent in 1993, Candlebox are a staggeringly obvious target. Justseeing the name in print made thebile rise to the back if my throat,and then the album cover … I need to go hit something.

Ahhahahahahahahahahaha! Because I rode the bus in high school, obviously. Hard to find an audience more captive than that.

That was the spring before I went to college. I got to see Courtney Hole do her Neverending Nervous Breakdown routine that fall. ("Does anyone have, like, some percocet? Or some darvon? [A number of pills are tossed on stage, the crazy disheveled woman with the clown makeup tosses a fistfuldown her throat. …

I don't think work as epochal as Dig Me Out ir Lonesome Crowded West or In the Aeroplane Over the Sea can be dismissed as nostalgic revisionism. Those were big, important records then and they still are. Something about the culture was more conducive to producing that sort of shit back then. I could toss aroind…

Lot of good, vital indie rock got made in the late 90's. It all went to shit in the oughts though, you're right about that.

It was actially easier then, back when Built to Spill, Modest Mouse, Sleater Kinney, Elliot Smith, Belle and Sebastian, Yo La Tengo, Apples in Stereo, Mogwai, the Pernice Brothers (all this just off the top of my head) were at the height of their powers and bands like Pavement and Radiohead and Blur were turning out…

Then kick him in the nuts. You know, for America.

I always kind of suspected it was all Trent Reznor's fault.

Re the implausibility of Justin Long pursuing Christy into the parking lot after her meltdown, it works because Anna Faris is adorable, even (especially?) in full-on freakout mode. Even if you're thinking "no way would I follow that nutty chick into the parking lot" you're simultaneously thinking "but I sure wish I…
