i mean, it makes sense that a dumb 9 year old would love trump. trump speaks like a dumb 9 year old.

the bush party, but more accurately every gathering, of everybody wants some!!

tunnel of love - dire straits

yeah i find the flippancy toward okkervil river a little strange. black sheep boy, stage names and stand ins are all pretty incredible.

fun fact! john darnielle has named christine fellows, wife and collaborator of john samson, as his favourite active songwriter a few times. if you love mountain goats like i do, i'd strongly recommend giving her a listen as well.

i would recommend to anyone wandering in here wondering who john samson is to give some weakerthans songs a listen. he's truly written some of the most beautiful songs i've heard and has such a wonderful way of articulating feelings of loneliness and isolation. i'm very proud to have one of the greatest living…

yeah it is, but i'm not sure what that has to do with anything.

hey phil - this is the comments section, not your autobiography

didn't help the victims of jian ghomeshi much, though

didn't sean penn win an oscar for milk? not meant to take away from the very valid point being made, but i find that movie's omission from this article a little jarring.

i can't wait until he's our next prime minister

he has to be on here, or at least reddit.

This season, and particularly this episode, has cemented Nathan For You as my favourite TV show ever. I had a giant smile on my face this entire episode. I'm going to watch this episode at least two more times tonight. I can't wait.
