The Republicans decided to nominate a pop culture figure; the AV Club is a pop culture website…….do you really need this laid out for you?

You should go watch SCOTT WALKER: 30 CENTURY MAN. Sweet little doc that Bowie co-produced.

PPDG = Psychotic Pixie Dream Girl.

Fresh sardines are sublime.

Fair enough.

And probably again this year (because it's an even year).

Not to denigrate your suffering - but as a Cubs fan, I would kill for the chance to see my team play in three World Series (winning one) in my lifetime. My dad (also a Cubs fan) is 87 years old, and hasn't seen our team in the WS since 1945.

Side one of Led Zeppelin II?

Can't go wrong with more Chucho Valdez, Compay Segundo, some early Gonzalo Rubalcaba….

I always thought that mystical land was referred to as the "Isle of Long".

No. Paul did not then, nor does he currently, provide any support for the anti-aparthied movement in SA. Sure, he paid the local musicians triple union scale, but there are more important things…..

I remember the first time I saw that ad, and nearly rolled off my sofa. I thought to myself "what twisted mind would think a song from such a depressive, depressing masterpiece would work so well in a car commercial?". And I'm still blown away by how many albums that commercial is responsible for selling. I wonder…

How's about this one:

The Littlest Pet Shop, or GTFO.

Proving once again that Stephen Holden doesn't know shit about anything.
