@avclub-53a226780628f3d898494942ad3dd491:disqus Here's my theory:

The one time I saw the Breeders some dude yelled "Freebird!"  Kim Deal said "I got your free bird, right here" and flipped the guy off.  While smiling her trademark smile, of course.

"Born of Frustration" was the only James song to make it big in my corner of the U.S.

Was there ever a tally of the reader favorites of that year's Undercover?

I laughed and now I hate myself.

I really wish that he put Ghosts out under another name.  It's really not Nine Inch Nails, especially because Atticus Ross co-wrote the whole thing.

Must be jelly cuz jam don't shake.

Human After All is best enjoyed sync'd up to their silent movie Electroma.  It syncs up perfectly with the film, and the music ends right as the final act begins (which works best in silence).  I'd kinda doubt they would've released Human After All if they hadn't done Electroma - it really is background music for the…

"Do you have a military ID?"

I never saw the first nine Malcolm movies.

@avclub-4c9390660004b75aa80beca95a6053d9:disqus  I'm a gay dude and I'll defend @avclub-7656b560c7e180f8e0d84ca82ac0d8b7:disqus .  I'm unconventional looking (read: unattractive) but in the rare instance when a female is hitting on me it makes me uncomfortable.  If I were forced into sex with a female, I imagine it…

I was a vegetarian for 6 years (for non-ethical reasons), and a vegan for a short period of that time. But I never quite got the insect thing.  Why not honey?  There's no suffering involved in its production.

For many, it is.  For many, it isn't.

That's easily remedied by having one of the candidates move to another state.  In 2000 Cheney registered as a Wyoming voter 4 days before being announced as Bush's running mate.

OK, so here's something I never understood: The Americans were smuggled out of Iran on Canadian passports, but the fake movie studio was based in the U.S.  Why didn't they base it out of Toronto or something?  Wouldn't it raise red flags that they were employed by an American company?

No, I don't think there's a rock band that's come out in or after the mid-'90s that have been as consistently successful.  It's just that I think the first album is so very good, b-sides included, and everything that followed is so bland. But they found a winning formula, and they're clearly doing what they love, so I…

The stacks are so deep there, the staff aren't even able to find some of the goodies.  A few months after the San Francisco store opened I found a 12" copy of the Boys Don't Cry re-release and the clerk behind the register didn't realize they even had that.

I'm surprised by the amount of hate directed at this song.  I had no idea.

You're a monster.
