Sounds like he pulled a "Tony Clifton" without the alter-ego or avant garde intent.

So it would suck?

Boxing About is a great song. The version off Moon might be even better.

I can hear Phil bristling at their contentious relationship now…

Instead of promising not to use the "bitch" any more, why not honor the sanctity of your daughter by not giving her a name that sounds like some sort of dance/strip club.

"Giving away his art"… that's code, right?

"I think he's one of those comics who just says shit off the top of his head and hopes it's funny."

I wish I had a train to ride so I can get through A Clash of Kings.  Reading about those sigils and armor at 10pm at night has been a top-notch sleep aid.

Is there "we know this show is terrible, so let's just make it as bizarre as possible" potential here, like that one show on Fox that made a character aware that he's on a TV show?

That Weiland video is probably the most depressing thing I've seen all year. He looks like a shellshocked WWII vet forced to sing along to Christmas carols and pretend "everything is OK" while self-medicating his PTSD with glass after glass of whiskey until he inevitably snaps, punches his wife and ruins Christmas.

Is that the non-Winklevoss twin from The Social Network?

Am I the only one surprised to not see The Slow Club's Paradise on any year-end lists?  I'm used to not being lock-step with critics, but it surprised me to see it not crack ANY top 50 lists.

I really like the XTC song but I can certainly see how people could hate it.  For me, it walks the thin line between awesome and cloying pop.

Just heard this on the radio this morning. Great song.

Favorite rock Christmas song is by Petty: http://www.youtube.com/watc…

There's a KIA Winter Sales Event????

Awesome. The world was a better place when PBS ran It's A Wonderful Life and this during the holidays.

or the ads that blast alarm clocks and jackhammers. Yeah, those noises suck when we have a headache and they suck when you blast them at us when we're driving to work, f*ckers.

Yeah, his Second Helpings album was OTC.

Yawls better do The Snowman, and the not Frosty kind.
