The entire album is just so damn good.

I have a Pistol Annies Pandora station that also happens to play the UBER classics frequently (Merle Haggard, Waylon Jennings, etc.). It’s my favorite. It’s really a shame the female artists aren’t getting played on the radio. The lyrics are overwhelmingly more nuanced than most of what’s being promoted right now.

I agree. Great song with great lyrics. I also love “I Got the Boy” by Jana Cramer.

“Biscuits” is a great song. And because it’s not getting played on the country stations in town, the station managers at the indie rock station and the college station (who actually would have played it some, no matter what) have both put it on heavy rotation.

I think this is the country music song that I hear when I go to this bar and every time I hear it I cringe at how bad it is. If this is what country music has come to then god help it.

Wow. It’s almost like abstinence-only education doesn’t actually work. Who knew?

Not only has Nick Jensen’s brother has written a response to him but he has been publicly uninvited to a wedding too. On top of this, 154 major companies have just taken out an out in our conservative Murdoch-run national newspaper in support of marriage equality.

Calling your colorist on it while she’s working her craft. You’re remarkably brave.

Nick got interviewed on a youth current affairs radio show last night. Listeners sent in feedback texts afterwards that the host read out. My favourites were "I went to high school with Nick. He was a chump then and he's a chump now" and "Please tell Nick to give himself an uppercut."

This is the second time this show has almost made me stop watching. The first time was the beyond sadistic, perverse and disturbing scene where Black Jack whips Jamie for what felt like six hours. Even after he had blacked out from the pain he was still just whipping him. I could barely make it through that. The…

I am just tired of rape and sexual trauma constantly being used as a plot device or as a shorthand for character development on “prestige TV.” So. Damn. Tired. Even the shock value is gone for me and it just feels like a cheap lazy cynical cliche.

Sam Worthington is the star of Avatar, which is not only an action flick from the king of action flicks, James Cameron, but is the highest grossing movie of all time. He starred in the terrible but popular Clash of the Titans remake and the terrible but somewhat profitable Teminator: Salvation reboot. How can he be…

Hey, hey, The Phantom was great.

Shaq is still aqting:

They also like to follow you around and check out what you’re doing. They live raisins and will do tricks (okay ONE trick) for them. I like to walk around the yard with one of the hens perched on my shoulder, pretending that I’m a pirate.

We were taught to NEVER name the livestock, much less hug them. It makes it really hard to get that bacon, drumstick, or steak down later. This child is hugging his dinner. #therapyaintcheap

...with the addition that he was also always second to Anne, and never the primary thing of her life.

I think what made the Gilbert character so unforgettable in the minds of many girls and boys is that he represented a very underrated image of masculinity. He was gentle, selfless, sincere, and devoted (much like Matthew Cuthbert). He wasn’t a bumbling oaf, a brawny hunk, a marginalized nerd, or an over-the-top…
