Oh! I finally get the gimmick of the episode names! Too bad this show is still terrible.

Things I liked about this episode:

Hey Nathan, I have to say that that is the first time I've ever heard Ghostface Killah's 'The Champ' as silly. Up until as then, I had believed it to be a fucking banger of a track handed down from another plane of existence. That song has to be the most perfect example of rhyme-smiting ever.

Mastodon is so awesome as to be universal. It's also purely arbitrary which bands find mainstream success and which ones don't (which is not to discount factors such as label investment, radio play, touring, and marketing; but luck is just as big a factor). Not even a band like The Melvins, who are so influential they…

Do you know how long Josh Fruhlinger has been dying to write a guest article for you guys, and how utterly up his alley this is, and you go and let Noel write about it?

One of the cool things about working at a music venue is getting to see bands perform live before they 'take off'. Just last week Lower Dens came to play and it was a really fun and exciting show. It's cool to get to see a band during a time when they are only just now tuning their sound to perfection and becoming…

YEAAAAAAH!! That book calls my name every time I go to Barnes and Noble. I think this is a good week to cave and buy it.

Are you implying that Because Of The Times is only 75% of a good record?

Fuuuuuck there's a YA novel about this girl who discovers that she's harboring the soul of an ancient samurai that gives her all this karate prowess but I can't think of the name of the book and URGH! I really hope Tasha knows what book I'm talking about and covers it. It seems like so much schlocky fun.

Is it me or are condolences on the internet generally plastic and divorced of any sincere emotion and sympathy? Case in point; Just this morning, I learned that a friend of a friend's son had gone missing and the search had ended in tragedy. I looked at his profile out of morbid curiosity and saw dozens of images of…

An article about a controversy regarding a show about white woman that has no colored woman written by a white man. Who on earth thought that this was a good idea? Do you think internet feminists are going to read this and think, "Hey man, good point! I should really lay off." You are playing with fire here, you silly…

Mmm. Strangely, I want to hate this but I can't. Yes, this movie sounds fucking abhorrent. No, I would not go out of my way to find and view this movie. But they just sound like a bunch of pals getting paid to live their dream of making movies for a living, and damn if I'm not envious.

Sorry, Steve—I'm sure you've heard this before but there's no way Torche will ever be mainstream. Too many redneck pricks who can't comprehend that metal has evolved beyond Metallica and Pantera and that those bands are now schlocky outdated garbage from a thankfully by-gone era instead of the golden standard of the…

The one thing that continues to jar me about this show is the portrayal of Peggy's sexuality. I can never tell when she's being taken advantage of or when she's consenting. It glazes the entire series with an ick factor that makes it impossible for me to enjoy this show as much as I want to.

Went to plenty of shows (Titus Andronicus and Bomb The Music Industry with The Front Bottoms; Fang Island and Scale The Summit headlining a local music festival), Tried and failed to play Diablo III (how the fuck do you not have servers up in time for free beta weekend?) and bought jack diddly on Record Store Day (No…

No. No, God, No. My friends are going to love this show and I'm going to be bombarded with facebook and tumblr posts about it and I'm constantly going to be reminded of its existence.

So, I'm watching Season 1 and…it's pretty abysmal. I'm the only one who feels that? I watched last weeks episode, which was actually a pretty neat experience because it showed me how much I have to look forward to, how much everything improves, and how much more fun the series becomes. Season 1 is so damn incoherent I…

I purchased Xenoblade: Chronicles (Wii) on Friday but haven't even bothered to put it in the console yet. I'll be sure to do that soon. I've been watching tons of people on Twitch.TV and it looks thoroughly engrossing and impressive. It's sad that, in the Wii's six-year lifespan, it's only seeing these kinds of…

Wait wait wait…It's…ending?
