To be fair, the article doesn't mention that he didn't join the band until the time of the reunion shows in 2012, and I'd imagine the number of people who can name the individual members of every incarnation of the Afghan Whigs is limited.
I am too young to have experienced the band in their heyday, but every time in…

The well-being of the young girl being raised in a shitty trailer trumped everything else imo. Rocky obviously isn't completely selfless but it's clear from the outset that she's doing it largely for that kid. Blind man absolutely lost all sympathy from me upon the reveal of his Silence of the Lambs/The Cell setup in…

Really enjoying this album and looking forward to picking up my physical copy later today and savoring that gorgeous album artwork. I don't know if it's quite as good as their other two albums but the title track pretty clearly ranks among the best things they have done so far. All of the songs have at least one sort…

Bad moms, bad moms, what you gonna do?

We Hate Movies is my favorite podcast ever, and it has brought me so much enjoyment since I first started listening in 2012. I can listen to most episodes endlessly and putting one on during commutes always cheers me up.

I am playing through it now for the first time and really enjoying it. Then again, I really don't play enough video games to really analyze them in depth. I missed this one the first time around because I was working and earning degrees back in 2006 and this newer edition of it actually looks quite nice considering…

I've noticed that people tend to approach it uncomfortably when they write these reappraisals of the album. Greg himself has said that he is not interested in playing the song live or revisiting it. I like it a lot, there's a ton going on with his vocal performance and I love the way Rick's slide guitar is just gently…

I am actually seeing Greg Dulli this weekend on his current "solo" tour where he plays an assortment from Afghan Whigs, Twilight Singers, Gutter Twins, etc. "Step Into the Light" seems like the only selection from this record that he is trotting out in the setlists, but Black Love got ample representation when I saw…

I wouldn't worry about taking it too seriously man it's the Internet.

I'm pretty cynical and in my late 20s and don't really watch TV much and yet I couldn't stop grinning while watching this. Good Burger is one of the all-time great sketch comedy bits. You've got like Dead Parrot, Who's On First, Story of Everest, and Good Burger. That's sketch comedy Mount Rushmore.

is this a parable or a fable I always get those two mixed up

I was the first person on the planet to wear a baseball cap backwards.

This isn't "tangible." It still allows consumers to quickly dispose of the stuff they used to like last week but are embarrassed of now. It's not like being stuck with an Ace of Base CD in your house for 15 years. "All pop music is an ephemeral frivolous trash and we should all just throw up our hands and admit it's…

The Crash Bandicoot 2 run was the most interesting one. Will surely be studied for months to come, perhaps in a court of law.

Thank you avclub/Mr. Anselmi for the nice metal reviews. I bought and enjoyed the new Goatsnake record on the strength of that write up. I already had this one preordered of course and it is indeed fantastic. "Sunless Years" feels like they're summoning dragons on that track it's nuts.

They had covered "Darling Nikki" a few years earlier as a b-side to a single off their 2002 album. Perhaps he was just giving them a hat tip back.

Alan Moore is going to be so thrilled that filmmakers are once again drawing upon his comics work for inspiration.

WHM has been my favorite podcast for a couple years now but yeah the start of 2015 here has given me monster/fantasy fatigue. Still the best podcast game in town imo, though. 2014 had an incredible run of episodes starting in march, though, with weird shit like Blame It On Rio, Canvas, North, Joysticks, Hail Caesar,…

More likely than not he's on the defensive after After Earth.

Well, the fact that he decided to take action suggests that he watched House of Cosbys, which is funny to imagine.
