Oooh the Germans are mad at me. Oooh, the Germans. I'm so scared.

i call the big one bitey. that line alone puts the monorail episode into the all-time great list.

i had the same reaction to the word "Swartzwelder", until they mentioned the fact (which I was not aware of) that he wrote the Spider Pig song. then i went back to my "oh yeah, this shit sucks" default for new Simpsons. that Simpsons movie was such an abomination. it perfectly sums up everything that's wrong with…

oh yeah, the Treehouse of Horror eps all reworked old movies, but those are non-canonical episodes (man does that sound geeky) so they don't really count. even they used to be great at one time.

also, a lot of the newer episodes don't seem to be reworking old Simpsons episodes, but old movies and tv shows. look how many of the recent episodes people are mentioning include the word "parody" in the description. so many of the eps now are parodies or 24 or eternal sunshine or my fair lady or this movie or that…

@pancakes…i agree with you wholeheartedly. it's something i've thought about (the fact that i've thought about this enough to have a coherent and readymade opinion probably says a lot more about my personality than i'd like to be known, but i digress) and i think that the simpsons since the popularity of shows like…

Having King of the Hill included on Adult Swim now has totally opened my eyes. I watched when it first came on when I was a kid, but I think it went over my head. As a consequence of this initial dislike, I never watched it for it's whole run, until Adult Swim put it on. The humor in King of the Hill is very…

she's a phenomenal singer sounds a bit better. damn beer and no edit post option….

strictly speaking, I can't decide if I think Neko Case is pretty or not, but every time I see her, all I can think of is how gorgeous she is. That probably makes no sense, but oh well. and, just so i don't seem totally shallow, he's a phenomenal singer. what i'm trying to say is that i adore neko case.

Hang 'Em High motherfuckers. "When you hang a man, you better look at him."

That's because Bono sleeps on a large pile of money with many beautiful ladies.

Rod Stewart was at one point the fucking bomb though, so he's cool. Seriously, the first 5 solo albums, everything with the Faces, and both Jeff Beck Group albums with Rod and Ron Wood are fucking phenomenal. You listen to "I'd Rather Go Blind" or "Maggie May" or "Mandolin Wind" and tell me Rod Stewart isn't the…

Bonnie Prince Billy Sings Greatest Palace Music got a lot of shit when it was released, but I have no idea why. It is fantastic. Rabin, you should definitely get this album for your year long journey into country. It's Oldham doing his Palace stuff with a full-on session Nashville band. It got reamed for being too…

Are you saying there's a situation that isn't right for that line?

Cash and Ritter dying on the same day did inspire one of the funniest/cruelest Onion headlines ever: "God grants John Ritter's wish to meet Johnny Cash".

@ miller: what? are you saying the chainsaw in the van as it wrecks isn't badass?

I think one of Cash's most underrated songs is San Quentin, which he performs for the first time at San Quentin Prison. It has that same chilling electricity that Jorge mentions about live Folsom Prison Blues. personally, I actually prefer San Quentin to Folsom Prison. i think it's a bit better song selection as a…

i think you can argue pretty effectively that the 3 iconic albums in Cash's discography are San Quentin, Folsom Prison, and American IV. all three are easy and fantastic places to start. If you can download the Best of Cash on American disc that was included in the Unearthed box set, that's a great way to get into…

what the fuck is grits?
