The hottest I've ever been in my life was at a Jen Trynin show at TTs in the mid-90s. It had to have been a buck thirty in there!

I have an additional nitpick which is so nerdy that I'm relegating it to this sub-comment. You've been warned:

It may be worth noting that the Espenson ep was a particularly egregious example of all of this, which is what prompted my mild irritation. But it's true for the show in general.

Space Cowboys 2: Some People Call Me Maurice

Well, he just crash-landed on the Moon, for one th— wait, are you being serious?

Moldering, then? But there would surely be microbes inside his suit, right?

Or conversely, get Tudyk for an LA Confidential prequel right now!

That's a great point — there was a pretty hilarious disconnect between what came out of the speakers when I clicked "play" on those songs and what I was anticipating from reading the article. It sounds like a sleepy, disgruntled teenager made this stuff.

It is kind of a shame, now that we know what the best band of the 90s was, that it's a band that sounds so awful to me, with a singer who swallows all of the words and a general sound that can only be appreciated while on opium. That's kind of alienating. I was hoping it would be something tolerable, but you can't win…

CONSIDERED.

I only listen to one band. YOU CANNOT OUT-NICHE ME.

Sorry, I was at Man Ray.

It's a Bee Gees song in the same way Poltergeist is a Steven Spielberg movie or Pretty In Pink is a John Hughes movie. It's still credited to Sang.

@avclub-45ebbcb5660836c30d4ace204244127c:disqus , are you by chance Jesse Hassenger? You need a "Staff" thing on your avatar!

Sure, it's a fine line. In this case I found it compelling because of how the other guests handled themselves, but there's no doubt that it was awkward. I guess I like awkwardness?

Top Songs That Aren't By The Bee Gees But Sound Exactly Like The Bee Gees:

I don't know if anyone is actually laughing at HDS. What makes it hilarious is the tension of the other three people on stage, who have to A) be respectful of the legend who has graciously agreed to appear, and for whom they have obvious fondness, and B) tread carefully so as not to confuse or anger him, while still…

But now that I'm thinking about it, that wouldn't be bad casting, right? Right?

Goddamnit, I was COMPLETELY wrong about Tudyk. Son of a biscuit!
