"a kaleidoscopic journey through time, space, and meme culture"

I am 100% sure Banksy is Billy Joel.

No mention of the best pop song of their aughts, "Move Your Feet" by Junior Senior? (In the same vein, honorary mention to "Jerk it Out" by Caesars Palace, a.k.a. the iPod song.)

No way in hell are Type O Negative one hit wonders. They have at least five songs as popular as "Black No. 1"

One, two— hit songs here before you, that's what I said, now! Skadeebideep! Badip dip dadeep badibidibidabadibidabadibidabadibidaba.

I will never not be mad that her stupid little brother ended up more successful than she did. Raw Like Sushi is my favorite pop album ever.

Which is worse, "What I Like About You" or "R.O.C.K. in the U.S.A." ? Because they are literally the same song

Wooooooow this was not a song I expected to see mentioned in the comments here. But you're damn right.

In what world is praising "Detachable Penis" trolling? It really is the greatest guitar hook ever

I think of the ten people who are aware that Republica released two albums, I am the only one who like Speed Ballads more than their self-titled debut. It's glossy and decidedly un-sexy,but in a really appealingly weird way.

It's some weird pick thing called an e-bow apparently.

The Mouth Trilogy!

Well, at least recording Music from Van-Pires wasn't the least embarrassing part of his career.

Yes, albeit after several paragraphs about how he bought and religiously listened to At the Drive-In's Relationship of Command on his way home from an afterschool dishwashing job.

I might be out for the weekend, so someone else might have to make it instead.

I'm thinking of having a comment thread for Dark Matter on the Orphan Black review.

Has Hulu greenlit Beakman Saves the World yet?

Hot take: Infinite Jest is the funniest book I've ever read.

I feel so much happier about the move to Kinja, knowing that no comment on Disqus will ever top this.

This is the dark secret behind the popularity of ""modern reimaginings"" of Shakespeare— you spend next to nothing on costuming and literally nothing in royalties.
