You and me both, buddy.

Gotta a friend trying to keep that scene alive with his club events. Still some young goths in L.A., but you see a fair share of the elders come out.

THIS IS A CRUCIFITION! THIS IS POLITICAL! DON’T TELL ME IT’S NOT!

Serious and I swear to God not race-baiting question: We still had people defending Cosby when he reached these numbers, but the Internet as a whole is pretty much “Fuck Harvey” at this point. What’s the difference? Was the perception of Cosby as America’s Dad enough to swing people to come to his defense?

Bloody corporation bent of conquering the world and crushing small business!

I’ll add it to my list!

I love that description and wish we had more of Dril’s ilk. I loves me a dank meme, but hate the angry-white-guy-on-the-Internet flavor they often come with.

Seriously. It’s not even “ironic racism.” It’s straight up making fun of it by mocking a way it manifests on Twitter.

No worries, Dude! Didn’t take it that way.

You’re right. I forgot about them. Definitely influenced by the Pumpkins.

I thought I was the only one.

Hell yeah I’ve seen the video. Does it color my feelings on the song? Maybe. But that video was made for that song for a reason: namely, it’s a great song about being young, ready to take on the world and blasting off into it. 

I hate to say it, but yeah, it was kind of predictable. I’ll never forget when Sharon Osbourne quit being the Pumpkins manager due to, in her words, “illness. Billy Corgan makes me sick.” Add to that that he managed to alienate just about everyone who was ever in a band with him except Jimmy Chamberlin and all the…

Thought I’d add: You get points for the handle. “In the Garden of Eden” is my all time favorite hymn.

Dude, “Pennies!” I love that song and have a whole story to go with it:

Uh, no. 10 points for pedantry, 0 for actually making a point. The author may have botched a detail, but that doesn’t undermine their actual point that the presentation of black, pseudo-African cultures, especially given that this is the first look in fifth edition of any of those culture.

Fuck man, “Rocket” is one of those primo song of youth. It isn’t just because it was big when I was young, it’s that it perfectly captures the “let’s light this thing off” sensibility of being young. It’s always one of my definitive go-to’s in my mental “if I made a high school movie set in the 90's, this would be the…

I should add: At least Billy’s swing towards nuttiness has been more dignified than Dave Mustain’s, though that isn’t an especially high bar.

Machina’s always been my Pumpkins sleeper album and a personal favorite (though if pressed, and I know I’ll sound like a poser, but Melon Collie is probably my single favorite SP album). I think the second half isn’t quite as good a second the first, but I still thoroughly enjoy the album. Adore, meanwhile, has…

Top notch take. Why aren’t you writing for the AV Club?
