I actually wasn’t that offended by the article. I have been arguing that Drew Brees IS the best QB in the NFL for at least a decade. Judged purely on statistics, that is an easy argument to make. The TDs and passing yards speak for themselves, but his completion percentage is INSANE (above 70% nearly every season).…

Hahahahah, snice. 

There is definitely some good stuff up there. But the snubs are fucking ridiculous. Sleep, Behemoth, Jesus Piece, and Daughters all released better music than any band listed in this article. 

That is definitely not a bad thing. 

I love High on Fire, and their stuff has been consistently good for their entire run. But The Sciences is a fucking masterwork. 

Same. And I’m assuming when they release their final year-end list, The Sciences will be on it. 

also no Jesus Piece? Behemoth?

The absence of Sleep’s The Sciences is inexcusable and either the result of shoddy journalism or poor taste. 

I think “terrible” is a better descriptor than “dark” concerning Black Market. 

Oh shush. The Mad Men finale is great.

I have been reading Caro’s The Power Broker for the past several months, and hope to finish it by the end of the year. It is, in many ways, the most important book I have ever read.

Yes, unequivocally.  

Just like the city it calls home, DFW is a steaming pile of shit. 

Ahhh yes, the sex doll factory. Such fond memories. 

You seem fun. 

Two of my favorite (and best, in my opinion) shows in the last few years went up significantly in quality as the shows progressed. Hugs for whoever can guess which shows I’m talking about!!

Blade Runner 2049

Ahhh, yes. The year 2000. When a comic book movie was something fresh, original, and in the case of X-Men, intoxicating.

Halt and Catch Fire.

The AV Club has brought me tremendous joy for many years, and I pray that it continues for many more.
