It’s the only way to be cool without smoking. 

Me, after watching that video...

I’m dating myself, but I learned  of “In the Hall of the Mountain King” from the video game “Mountain King” on the Atari VCS (among other platforms). 

Love LOVE Psyence Fiction. Richard Ashcroft killed that track. Rabbit in your headlights too. Any song that can throw in Jacob’s Ladder quotes and have it fit perfectly is just..cool.

“a whole generation of shitheads laughs at the worst fucking humor in the world”

This may be simplistic but a problem with SNL seems to be that it’s filled with Ivy Leaguers.

Meanwhile, back in 1975, Red Skelton is saying the same thing about the original SNL cast.

I’d be the last guy to defend Chevy Chase because the guy is clearly an asshole, but his assessment of today’s SNL isn’t too far off.

You can argue who comes off worse in the Dan/Chevy feud that got Harmon fired for season 4. They were both assholes. The difference is, Harmon has grown, and Chase hasn’t. I imagine one of the things that pushed Harmon into therapy was that Chevy Chase was basically like his Ghost of Christmas Future. Spirit, is it…

Where’s Vicki when you need her?

His inability to praise anyone without simultaneously cutting them down to size - like his comments on Tina Fey and Eddie Murphy in the article - is just pure asshole. 

I read a bit of it. It’s pretty much Chevy just saying that shit isn’t funny without Chevy. He may be sober, but he still thinks that he’s the best damn thing in the room. Donald Glover’s assessment was right. You have to know when to bow out gracefully.

Buhloone Mind State is my all-time favorite hip hop record by anyone ever. Love De La Soul. Cheers for doing this.

I don’t see Bitties in the BK Lounge? Minor outrage.

No ‘Ring Ring’? That was huge here in Australia. Looking it up, it went to No.4 in our pop charts. Easily their best known song here outside ‘Feel Good Inc.’

One of the neatest spinoff effects of this feature has been finding that all sorts of weird albums managed to crack the year’s top 200.

I remember 1981 all too well, as I was 9 and my parents were beginning a true shit storm of a divorce. And good GOD look at that top 20 list: I can remember every one of those songs, and they’re all pretty horrific.

Songs I was listening to in 1981:

I’m really feelin’ it for this year. It must have been the year I was most attuned to Top 40 radio: I have specific memories of listening to at least half those songs while driving around with my dad, like Bette Davis Eyes, I Love A Rainy Night, The Tide Is High, and so many more. Plus it’s the year I started buying…

If a video game fucks up your relationship, it was probably a shitty relationship.
