Those fucking suits,
They look like they all went to H&M the day before. Where's the cool?

Supervan wins for style and energy efficiency.

Honestly, Michael is much more of a showblocker for me than Dwight. Last season, there were several episodes where Michael was shoe-horned in to provide zaniness where it never was needed, like the matchmaker episode. More and more, Michael comes off as a huge dick because there is literally no reason he should be

Hmmm
Sounds like "Ishmael", minus the psychic gorilla, i.e., epic environmental didacticism fail.

Not super enthused
I really like "Wavvves", not a great album but a very good and fun one, I'd put it up there with the Spits and the Mean Jeans. This album, its ok, but the vocals sound like Blink-182, the songs feel dulled down. They're pleasant and mildly catchy, but not poppy enough to make up for the lack of

I miss "Ponderland".

"Professor Murder is clearly the superior of the two. Any rapper who seamlessly compares himself with Kurt Vonnegut has the tightest science. "

WOooooow
She must have really fucked up to make him this mad. What an awful cunt.

That's stupid
No one would make a robot power suit out of gold. It's probably adamantium.

Fuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuck
In college, I picked up the No Wave New York comp from Soul-Jazz. The one track that stuck out was Rammellzee & K-Rob's "Beat Bop". Fantastic song. I spent the next 6 years trying to track down the Gettovetts record, I finally did last year and it is every bit as awesome and crazy as I

RIP
One of my top 5 bassists, right after Mike Watt and James Jameson.

Whatever, I'm ok with Blink-182
Probably because I was in High School when they were getting big, but Blink-182 will always be a guilty pleasure for me. No particular album, but a few tracks: Josie, Dammit, Aliens Exist, Going away to College,etc. bring tsunamis of memories into my brain box. They may have been almost

You're all just jealous.
You're so jello its not even funny.

I'm all for established/vet comics being a part of this show. It makes it much more watchable, pretty much every other "talent contest" show is just a bunch of amateurs being, at best, great for an amateur but only pretty good for a professional. With experienced performers it feels like you could actually see a

WTF Bart
After reading this, my memories of the first years we watched the Simpsons have come flooding back to me. I had forgotten how huge a part of the show Bart was, I remember waiting at the bus stop and seeing a kid in a t-shirt that had Bart saying Ay Caramba! (or Eat my Shorts or something) and really wanting

I don't dislike them because they're "inclusive"
Against Me! were exciting when they started out because they, the Plan-It-X family, and other bands of that ilk felt like the apotheosis of DIY. AM! wasn't a great band, but the small scale of its operation made them seem great because no one thought anything that

That's a lot longer than I thought it would be, the condensed version:

Can we please stop putting poor and black together
Every political conversation about Katrina falls into the same rut: black people were left to die while white people hauled ass to safety. This narrative is so ubiquitous and simplistic it is as damaging to reconstruction as those folks who say New Orleans flooding
