Soda, lol.

Our very own junior Maureen Dowd.

Anything tastes better with more French's.

This looks like a C.  Vanity piece for JGL that's piercing the image of the greasy Jersey lothario years after the zeitgeist already passed (when Snooki took a leak in a Tuscan urn in bella Italia). Who is this for? People still embarrassed by internet porn? Gawker posts dickpix on the regular for laffs, who's…

Craig T., what was your reaction to Shelley Fabares' ever-increasingly large helmet of permed hair?

I thought people regularly hurl themselves off bridges in Swedentown because of the Ikea modularity blandness.  This light-edm fluff pop would certainly qualify as the Billy bookcase of the music scene.

Pitchfark gave them a 7.5.  for no real discernible reason except some goofy "girl powah" solidarity claptrap in the banal lyrics.  To anyone who lived thru the Spice Girls with the benefit of a Pampers fully clad to your fresh ass, I say "been there, done that", and then doze off for my afternoon adderal comedown.

"Shade", it's what the freshly landed gays from flyover country still use, ad nauseum.

Oh, wow, yet another shameless reappropriation of Paris is Burning.  It's become a parody at this point.  I'm sick to death of Paris is Burning being referenced.  I don't take it as literally an assault on gay culture, but more a very, very lazy appropriation of a point in time that's been done, celebrated and…

La Roux, that Bulletproof song was hooky heaven. 

Ted Leo covering Kelly Clarkson was the apotheosis for cool covering uncool.

Dunham used it to do coke to in an almost Afterschool Special-level hamhanded examination of a drug binge.  Now, it's advertising ambiance, let loose in the ether like a wet dump in an Applebee's bathroom.

Grandma!  Did you need a new Depends?

I think the idea that it's hip to like disposable pop detritus is in the floral print dress/Doc Martens-territory of trying too hard.

Ha!  I walked by the Fillmore the next day and saw the Icona Pop Cancelled signs outside.  I remarked to no one in particular that there's a group of 4 hardy suburbanite middle schoolers that had to trek home dejectedly.  It did get a laugh from the guy smoking a cig near the doorway.

I was so cool I was actively avoiding Jurassic Park in the theater and watching "Boxing Helena" in the theater.

let the hating commence.

LOL
 "does Debra get a bench".

Now that you mention it, I did watch a few eps of that season (Trinity).  Lithgow was amazing.  Destroyed any lingering ideas of Dick Solomon-esque scenechewing in a matter of moments.
