You Were Cool is probably never going to be on album. It's a live staple, and JD seems inclined to keep it that way. I'd love to have a studio version, but I don't think it would fit well on an album. As much as I love it, it definitely has the feel of a B-side.

Hi, Mountain Goats superfan speaking. I'd recommend starting with the two 2002 releases — All Hail West Texas and Tallahassee. All Hail West Texas is the last true lo-fi tMG album, and Tallahassee is the first more polished release. In addition to providing an example of both the pre-4AD and 4AD eras, these are two of…

I fucking hate Russell Brand. I decided to give one episode of Brand X a chance, and what a mistake that was. It's painful to watch.

For child actors, they're awesome. If I didn't know otherwise, I'd assume they were his real-life daughters.

I've never laughed harder at Louie than I did at that stabbing.The surreal sight gags tend to be some of my favorite things about the show.

Maria Bamford = hot. Like @avclub-77b18ff392798e8e52b7f83004902be8:disqus, I was hoping she'd be the girlfriend, but I can't complain about the way things turned out. The scene at her place was gloriously awkward.

This was a flawless half-hour of television. Someone please give Maria Bamford her own TV series. If I were rich, I would fund that. She didn't do any new stand-up material in this episode, but she told two of her best jokes.

"Check out Maria Bamford on tomorrow night's Louie."That sentence makes me happier than anything I've read in a while. This was a great video. Maria is one of the funniest people out there, and she's also completely adorable.
The video was very enjoyable, though animated Maria doesn't have the insane facial expressions…

Wilfred killing … (Christ, what is her name? I know this.) … would be hilariously dark. Either way, I love this show and look forward to seeing what direction it goes in this season. I'd just like to see more Jenna, personally.
