His satire is up there with early Randy Newman. Like Sail Away, Good Old Boys-era Randy Newman. And he as all the showmanship and talent of Elton John in the early 70's.

I'm wondering if he's actually mute, or if the virus just hit when he was an infant, so he hasn't had a way to learn speech yet? Not sure how they'd explain away an infant surviving with no adults to feed them, though.

"We've developed a real bond!"
"Yeah, and that bond is cigarettes!"

I'm thinking that might be why they've given Erica a kid to raise anyway. We only need one baby on the show, if that. So they're writing themselves out of that corner. One of the children will probably be lost to the virus/poor child delivery skills on the part of the gang, and Erica still has Jasper to raise.

The callback with Tandy saying Jasper was "being a real LaFontaine" was the icing on the cake for that one.

I gave up on Dexter during Season 6 but damned if I didn't read the reviews to the bitter end.

It was the best of times, it was the Durst of times.

I went to visit them one summer in high school when I was dating a black girl. When I told them about it, they gave me so much shit about "my own kind" and all that nonsense that I made them pay to cut the trip two weeks short and send me home. Even at 16, I was not about to tolerate that bullshit.

Honestly, they probably aren't concerned anymore. They weren't crazy about Trump, but he's rich and white, so automatically an improvement for them over the previous administration.

The goggles do nothing!

My grandparents got so caught up in the hysteria surrounding this. They are probably still using toilet paper they stockpiled at Sams Club in late 1999. They bought us a wood stove and all sorts of other survival shit for Christmas that year. Truly, the most disappointing of all my Christmases growing up.

BEAUCOUP COMMENTARY!

As a North Carolina resident for most of my life, I felt the same way. Particularly the time spent at the tattoo shop. Yes, they were observed being blatantly racist, but they were also surprisingly tolerant of John, someone who they knew (or correctly assumed) was gay, and who usually showed up just to berate them…

I think in the excitement of this surprise release we're all forgetting the most important question here: WHAT HAPPENED TO MR. POOPYBUTTHOLE?!??!

In the pilot, it was "100 years Rick and Morty". We are now in Season 3. So it's 97 years.

Holy shit now I just got it too.

I really don't understand the long drawn out promotion cycle for an album in this day and age. By the time it comes out, everyone interested in it has heard it and moved on to the next thing.

Came here to say the same thing. Anyone who thinks Gorillaz albums aged poorly clearly hasn't listened to Demon Days in a while. That album is timeless, I still come back to it a few times a year consistently in the 12 years since it came out.

Today I'm listening to the new solo album from Seth Avett of the Avett Brothers. Liking it so far on my first spin. Much more than most of their output as a band since "Emotionalism".

My personal favorite take on this is Daniel Clowes' Ice Haven. Surprised that one never got turned in to a movie. May be a few too many moving parts to do it right.
