Is this a big deal that Sia won't show herself right now? I mean, the whole reason I hate Sia irrationally is because of the terrible cover of her album Some People Have Real Problems, which is a picture of her drawing all over her face with markers.

Really? I thought Serial was great, but sort of limped along in the second half once the major points had been covered. The Jinx, on the other hand, was a fascinating story with a really weird person at its center that knew exactly where to end it. That last episode had me super-tense.

Wait, fourth spinoff? There was Miami and New York and…we'll go with Weird Al's CSI Boise, I guess, as the third?

Damages or GTFO.

I was a huge Tuesday album buyer from the early 90's up until about 2-3 years ago, when I started ordering most of my cd's from Amazon due to Prime. Now that I download almost everything, I find it hard to care about this.

I mean, now that any band with any sort of audience can get an album in the top 40 by selling a few thousand records on release week, the charts seem to matter a whole lot less than they used to.

I got albums on Monday at midnight so many times during college, when record stores stayed open every week and it was a 10-minute walk away.

He was looking for Phantom Planet's "California", which was also found on their album The Guest and definitely available when the show started. There. I helped that random guy you never saw again here on the internet over a decade later.

Too bad that scene feels like a direct ripoff of the final scene of the Coens' Burn After Reading.

"This December marks the release of issue #200, which puts him in rarified company with, um, basically just Dave Sim."

If only Terry Crews wasn't busy over in Brooklyn!

Wait, wait, wait. Can we get Warner Bros. to trade Christopher Nolan to Paramount for this and use Edgar Wright for Ready Player One instead? If Star Trek fans have taught us anything, it's that a sense of humor is not necessary to create and/or enjoy Star Trek.

It looks like a rat's nest!

I miss the piano solo in "Stuck Between Stations" a whole lot. :(

I'm not entirely sure the "Two Crosses" protagonist is the same as "Chips Ahoy!", but I am sure she shows up in "Yeah Sapphire" and yes, again on "The Weekenders."

Yeah, Meet the Feebles is one of the very few times I feel it's appropriate to use the term "vile" as a descriptor. It's not a bad movie, but it's really difficult to get through, and the one-joke premise is stretched awwwwfully thin.

I heard about this yesterday because I still like NOFX and "Fat Mike" was trending on Facebook. So yeah.

Short Music for Short People is where it's at.

I want to know if the movie goes across the bay to Kyoakland or down the highway to San Josaka.
