A music snob? On the internet?
How novel.

No mention of THE QUIET DUEL?
That's unfortunate.

Saturday Night Live, Monty Python's Flying Circus, and Don Kirshner's Rock Concert
Of course, when I say SNL, I mean the original Not Ready for Prime Time Players.

On the Brian Cranston/James Gandolfini tip:
Ian McShane. And it's solely because of his career-defining, iconic acting in DEADWOOD. For example, I'm enjoying (so far) the Starz original series PILLARS OF THE EARTH, but every time I see him, the first thing that leaps to mind is, "There's Al Swearengen as a monk,…

Joss Whedon
Talk about your "one issue fans"!

No one's yet mentioned her… excuse me, Kelly Liken's voice yet.

Concerning smashing Angelo's face in with a brick: I can certainly get on board that train.

Kerry Condon's in this?
Here's to hoping she gets all kinds of nekkid in this, a la ROME.

Wait, she's *not* a whore?
But she has a Russian accent.

(Unless they put her in a low cut top. Then all will be forgiven.)

As long as they never, ever bring back the T.G.I. Friday's Challenge winnin' Evil Betty.

Answer: They're both royal bitches.

I certainly do love the Daily Show
but Sean O'Neal's obviously biased in favor of Stewart and his crew.

Debating the artistic merits of one video game versus another: You guys are a gas!

Let the record show:
I'm in total agreement with Ebert's *first* blog post on the matter. Video games are. Not. Art. (And never will be.)

What is it with Top Chef and spiteful lesbians?
I mean, think about it: Season one had Tiffani Faison. Season four damned our eyes by making us watch Lisa Fernandes the. Entire. SEASON. And now were graced with the likes of fucking Tracey Bloom.

Don't worry, Leonard.
I got to see the Fear of a Black Planet tour when it stopped by Cincy in 1990, and while it certainly didn't suck, it wasn't quite the watershed musical happening I was hoping for. In fact, it's not even in my top ten concerts of all time. (Fun fact: It was on this stop that one of the Boyz,…

Fuck. In light of the most recent newswire item, I fully expect to see Rabin's write up of Ray Stevens before Buck Owens, Loretta Lynn, Waylon Jennings, et al. If we're really (un)lucky, he might even grace us with his considered take on the works of Cledus T. Judd, as well.

Speaking just for me, I *wasn't* trying to be hyperbolic (though a grand case could be made for me commenting like an engorged phallus). I really do think that, especially in the last few months or so, particularly, Rabin is this site's worst writer, not to mention the most inexplicably beloved by the majority of the…

Yet another shining example of why Nathan Rabin is the A.V. Cub's Most Overrated, Over-utilized WriterTM.
