Hello, I have the honor/distinction of having the first reader question that you answered in this series. As an update, we didn’t force the kid to continue playing, which drove her older sister to immediately request taking over the guitar and lessons and she has been killing it! As an added bonus, it has made her to…

Thanks hammer! yeah they probably do. Smiths only existed for 3 years if you can believe it though...90 songs in 3 years.

The guitar playing will be extraordinary? So does that mean Morello won’t actually be on the album?

Is he counting Band of Gypsies as a supergroup? Because Hendrix never needed a bunch of hired guns to prop up his songs.

As I read this I could see where this was headed. My mother-in law has barely hit her 70's and when it is our turn (wife has 2 other siblings) to take her out for a meal, it is always some crazy situation. Asking for one entree and then saying she order something else, issues with the flatware being too big, too small…

Whatever, it was a fun show with a lot of action.  

Thanks for all the great writing ya old drunken codger. I tip my flask to you and will take a long sip today in remembrance of what was once one of my favorite sites. Guess I’ll be checking Rabin’s site more and donate there as well as checking out VanDerWerff in Vox.  You’ll land on your feet Sean.  I’ll be searching…

And why does a woman have to voice Bart?

Oh my God! THE AV CLUB HAS DISBANDED!

This is a weird one. A person I’ve never met, but for whom I feel great affection, just quit his job, and I’m really, really happy for this stranger.

Sean — I think I can speak for all of us salivating, rancorous, sewer-dwelling mutants when I say we’ll miss you. Thanks for the years and years of great work.

Salute, Sean. Speaking for all those who have been here since the beginning of this saga, you will be missed. Best of luck, sincerely. You were a good one. 

Look, I pieced it together.

How much of the shows budget is going to the time machine needed to broadcast it back to 2006 when Sacha Baron Cohen was relevant?

And this is premium Barsanti right here. You’d think if your job consisted only of ripping off other people’s work and reposting it that a modicum of reading comprehension would be a basic requirement. At no point in the stuff he links to does Sollima say that it was “his decision” to exclude Blunt, much less does he “…

Thats true and obvious, but Barsanti is going to Barsanti.  

We are definitely not missing Amerikkkant.

Yeah, the album about how much sex two billionaires have shockingly wasn’t beloved by the masses. 

No, but they did try. For the longest time.

Physically attacking an older woman (and men, to a similar degree) is more likely to cause greater physical injury (atop the lasting psychological problems) due to the frailty associated with aging. Lower bone mineral levels and reduced muscle density is a recipe for heightened injury potential. While this isn’t…
