Who wrote this review?  I've seen movies in theatres where you don't have to worry about audience members whispering questions about the movie, because instead of whispering, they shout their questions into the air, to nobody in particular.  After experiencing that, whispering becomes quite tolerable.

IMO there's no topping the Les Claypool story.  I tried and failed to think of anything that could possibly be a worse place to take a female.

Vitctoria was way sexay in those Pitchfork videos she did in that black dress.  She's cute when she has her weight under control.  Dumpy and puffy-faced when she doesn't.  Exactly like Mindy Kaling.

Beach House rulez, with a capital Z. They can do no wrong.  Until they do.  But they haven't yet.  So I'm hoping they can't.

Malcom's Muslim name was El-Hajj Malik El-Shabazz.    Today, people see that name, and hear angry anti-American rhetoric attributed to it, the word TERRORIST would instantly come to mind.   Bear in mind the government has already shown it's perfectly willing to make accusations of terrorism and then use state secrets…

Paranoid fantasy?   Four years ago, if I told you that in the year 2012 a Democratic U.S. President would publicly claim the power to execute American citizens with no due process, you would have said it was a paranoid fantasy.  Everybody would have.   But it's reality now.

Angry Muslim Man = Terrorist.   That's the sad reality of post 9-11 America.  You won't see another Macolm X in this country.

I guarantee you today he'd be branded a terrorist and accused of being in league with Al-Qaeda.  You'll never see another American Muslim leader allowed to speak out loud Malcolm's type of rhetoric and stay free and breathing.  Simply will not happen EVER again.

More than a little apt that this release comes as the U.S. Attorney General gives a speech explaining why the President is legally entitled to execute American citizens with no due process and in total secrecy.   Here in the year 2012 Malcom X would be a prime candidate for murder by Presidential decree.   I seriously…

I can tell you from experience that by 1993 "Hunger Strike" sounded like an alt take on "Every Rose Has Its Thorn" by Poison.  It was UNCOOL.   It wasn't far enough removed from the hair metal power ballads that everyone wanted to forget for a while.

Fuck this piece of shit song.   The way I remember it Temple of the Dog and "Hunger Strike" had become kind of a joke by 1993.   Even people who liked Soundgarden had abandoned this record by then.  A lot of the douchier Pearl Jam fans never did, but that's just Pearl Jam fans for you.

This guy gets an obit on AV Club, but Ronnie Montrose doesn't?  Mr. Bad Motor Scooter himself?

This stuff is actually quite slick and competent for what it is.  You want some true crap, try Zack Attack.  Zack Attack makes Clarissa sound like Sergeant Pepper's Lonley Hearts Club Band.

I long for the days when nostalgia was uncool.   Those were the days.

That picture proves that some nerds should be punched.

then I saw her grave?

Davy Jones is dead, but Candlebox lives.  What a fucked up world.

What song is it I want to hear?  Free Beard! I hope you will remember a bearded man don't need you around anyhow.

Is Joe Satriani in that tiresome meme?

Yes, temporal displacement.  The only sorta sci-fi scene was where Carol gets her done in a salon and somehow ends up with the same goofy 70's hair as before, while the baffled hairdresser stands there wondering what the hell just happened.  There should have been more of that type of weirdness.
