I Can't See It Now
I tried looking at it just a few moments ago, but it says it's private and I can only see it if I accept the person's friend request. Won't you be my friend, AV Club?

Actually
He enrolled at NYU's MFA program, not Columbia's. I just point this out because I'm going to NYU and one of the elements that made up of my Freshman year were hearing other students either desperately wanting to run into James Franco or having really ecstatic conversations about meeting James Franco.

I'm sorry, and I'm going to go a little hyperbolic here, but comparing any Nickleback song to Story Of My Life is a mortal sin. I hope you're happy with yourself.

Yeah, I'd give to My Humps, just because it's an annoying song that I remember more of. As I mentioned above, I can only remember the spoken word part of Honky Tonk Badonkadonk, and while it's annoying, it's still small compared to the extreme irritation of will. i am and Fergie teaming up in my brain.

It's a bit of a shame that I Bet You Look Good On The Dancefloor wasn't a bigger hit in the U.S. Not that it needed to be to be validated as a good song. But it would've been nice to have it in the consciousness in the same way that Take Me Out did.

Black Eyed Peas, Trace Adkins, & Gorillaz
For me, terrible lyrics really aren't the most heinous crime that a song can commit. I'm definitely someone who's more into the music and can thus forgive all sorts of incredibly stupid lyrics. However, it's when it's paired with some really shitty beats, like in My Humps,…

Yeah, this is a bit lame. When one of your random facts is that she's done absolutely nothing, it might be time to just pack things in. Especially when you're not even creating your own jokes, you're just stealing them from late night T.V. monologues.

Do You Want To
I can kind of understand why this got skipped, since while it's catchy, it didn't invade the nation like Take Me Out did and it's missing the really catchy hook that Take Me Out had. However, I still think it's a very fine single and has a little bit of a feeling of sex personified as a song.

The Tick Book
I'm not sure if this counts, but there was also a book about The Tick which was written, in large parts of it, in the Tick and Arthur's voices while serving as a guide to the entire series. I liked it a lot and was one of the books, along of with the Star Trek Chronology book I had, that marked me as a…

I don't actually own any of these, even the Colbert, but I have glanced through the Rules Of Acquisition book. It's actually pretty decent, from what I remember. Both a collection of greed related aphorisms and amusing fairy tales that prove why each rule is true. As a bit of a Star Trek geek, I liked it, although…

Damnit, you're right. Don't know how I managed to screw that up. I haven't even heard the Good Charlotte song, which I'm quite thankful for and hope to keep that way.

Yeah, Song 2 was, at most, a Modern Rock hit. And it got a lot of play from extreme sports/sports drinks commercials.

Thoughts On Hollaback Girl And The Rock Songs
I agree with the dislike for Hollaback Girl. In fact, I'd go a step further and say that it's no different from Drop It Like It's Hot in supreme annoyingness. I'd say Hollaback Girl is a bit more annoying just because I heard it more over that summer. The bananas, man, the…

Unrelated Request
I haven't gone through this completely yet, although I'm sure it'll be a fine quality read like it always is. However, I just wanted to say that it really is about time that Tasha gets to have a feature again. She's just as good a writer as Noel, Keith, Scott, and Nathan are, and she has a dormant…

Going A Little Deep Here
Ringo has a tribute song about George Harrison that specifically mentions some of George's titles by name. Off the top of my head, I know All Things Must Pass is one of them and part of the chorus is, "Here Comes The Sun is about you."

Actually, if Wikipedia is to be trusted on this, Country House was actually recorded before (What's The Story) Morning Glory had finished recording. If true, that would just be a very good coincidence. I think it makes a bit more sense as about having an erection upon waking up.

Or My Generation, for that matter.

Definitely Need To Pick This Up
One (I know this is likely going to be first or close to it, but this isn't meant to be a firstie) of my favorite singers paired up with one of my favorite writers make this an album I need to get.

Worst Ending Line For A Trailer?
Is there any lamer ending in a recent trailer than the Tom Cruise line? It's like it's okay for the first part, amusing at bits, and then it just has to end with such a blisteringly unfunny line that I end up not wanting to see the whole thing. Anyone able to think of anything worse?

@Rowan: I think there was some amount of hamminess from Frakes. He definitely seemed to go into full on lechery mood in the second telling and the third one has him over dramatically yelling, "You're a dead man, Apgar! A dead man!" Maybe it could've gone even more over-the-top, but it definitely worked for me.
