Goddamn, that Philly takedown was glorious.

Yeah, that eye for accuracy was something I came to appreciate as I got older. As a kid I could pick out M-16's, M-60's, AK-47's and a few other well known guns (like Uzis) among the Joe figures, but for the most part they just "guns" to me. It was when I got a bit older that I went "Oh! Crankcase had an FAL. Dusty…

Ah! You are why I love the Internet. I'm a bit of an enthusiast when it comes to military firearms, but never had any clue what Beach Head's gun was based on. Now I know! And, well, you know the rest…

I'm also a fan. I love listening to it both in AND around the lake.

Don't let your jimmies get too rustled, now. Just having a bit of fun at the expense of the indie-by-numbers crowd is all. We're above acting like a bunch of humorless Radiohead fans around here, aren't we?

Oh, I thought this was about a gathering of guys whose favorite album is "In The Aeroplane Over the Sea."

"But, see, communism can't work because of human nature. It's unrealistic."

Fleece? Oh please. It's a Kickstarter for a comic. People who are going to spend money on it know what they're getting.

My question: What strain of weed should I smoke to best enjoy the new show? I, uh, hear that Trainwreck works best for Regular Show…

Also his made nunchuck skills.

You can argue that it "makes" the song, you can argue that the use of the sample isn't that creative, but that does not change the fact that the hook is not the same thing as the song. If someone prefers said hook, be it for aesthetic or personal reasons, in later song that uses said hook as a sample rather than the…

This also applies to Hum (mentioned by Alex McLevy). While Hum never scored any big hits beyond "Stars" their third album ("Downward is Heavenward") became something of a cult classic and it's now highly regarded by the Pitchforks of the world as a lost 90's classic. Further, Hum (along with Failure, another 90's band…

Because a song is more than just a hook, perhaps?

I'd never describe anything Saffron is involved with as "unsexy." ;-)

I don't even have to think on this one: "Ready to Go" by Republica. Republica got more traction in their home country, but in the US "Ready to Go" was their only hit. I love that song, but really, I love the whole album. The Republica self-titled first album is my platonic ideal of pop and I still play it with…

Oh, also: Check out Zeal & Ardor if you like Algiers. He's a black, Swiss solo artist whose sound is a mix of gospel and black metal thats like the Lynchian id to Algiers.

I'm with you. Color grading not withstanding, I prefer the Final Cut as an edit. Director's is decent enough, though, if you got nothing else.

Yeah, Walter, and you fucking unconverted when you divorced T'Pol! You're living in the past.
