I'm going to be even blunter: Dollhouse was a fiasco. Eliza Dushku was wrong for the part. She was well cast as Faith on Buffy and was even decent on Tru Calling, but she didn't have the range to play someone with a new personality each week, and even her "blank" character had an awkward listlessness that was at odds…

I have. That's where I got the line about the room for his fur coats.

The main reason it's unfair is because it would punish any musician who isn't immediately successful. Many musicians spend decades scraping by before they reach mainstream success. An early album by a once obscure band might take 20 years to start giving meaningful residuals and many working bands rely on these…

Nah man, it's fine to say "I don't give a fuck," when prompted, as long as you leave it at that. I'm talking about when people say "I don't give a fuck, but…" and then continue on to give a little speech that no honest non-fuck-giver would ever give enough fucks to give. If you don't give a fuck about something, that…

Poor Scott Adsit. Seeing his as asshole Sam Adams sounds incredible. At least we'll always have three seasons of Morel Orel to admire him in.

See, I can't buy that one, because if they really think it's meaningless why are they talking about it at all?

Yeah I've been to a fair number of small local shows where the musicians probably got paid in beer that I enjoyed, but I don't like large crowds, oppressively loud music, or paying like $100 for a concert ticket, so I'm largely unwilling to go to the sort of arena shows the Foos make their money off of, even if its…

Your initial premise starts as such "If streaming services or free content was not available…" The question we've all been wondering is: what happens if you take the streaming services out of that equation? Which is more likely in the absence of Spotify and the like: that people will start paying full price for music,…

That is a very strange hypothetical and I don't understand why you picked it.

Good rant and all, but I'm pretty sure Curious Orange was joking.

It's not the price-tag or lack there of. It's the venue. People go to Spotify or I-Tunes or their local record store the CD rack at Target not just to buy music, but to see what's out there. If you're giving away your albums for free on your website, good for you, but if no one knows about you or your website, no…

Who?

Wait, I wasn't supposed to take that song at face value? Who says? Most of the guys I've talked to who love that song took it pretty literally. Probably the line that bugs me the most is "nothing to kill or die for," because it supposes that violence is rooted in ideology, when, in fact, people were killing each other…

You and me both, Tecumseh, you and me both, and I'd like to think It's not just for the dumb preachy lyrics (did any of the Beatles ever write a smart political song?). The repetitive melody and simplistic "I've got something important to tell you" nature of the vocals really bugs me.

I'll see your knee-jerk defensiveness and raise you the "Imagine" video wherein a man who had a special climate-controlled room just for storing his fur coats wanders around his big, fancy house singing about how we'd all be happier if we had no possessions.

Does the fact that I've never heard of Salesforce or Genentech burnish my hipster cred or merely expose me as a hopeless prole?

They've distanced themselves from that particular cause in recent years. I don't know if they ever actually apologized for supporting a group that denied that HIV caused AIDS, but all references to it have disappeared from their website and they don't seem eager to bring it up.

Yeah people saying "IDGAF" is usually a solid indication that they do, in fact, give a fuck. Several fucks, in fact.

Oh, he'll still be in the spotlight, but it will be for weird side projects like maybe a country-bluegrass album, or an art book about prop swords, or a small batch novelty wine called "Quentin Taranvino," or a one act play where every character is played by Christoph Waltz in various vintage hats. Only after these…

Some of the segments are much better than others, but over all it's fairly enjoyable.
