I hate live albums, but I'll probably by this because… Sleater-Kinney.

Cheap Trick is a 90's band? That trick they pulled of time travel to play Live at Budokan in 1978 is more impressive than the album itself, then.

I think Lena Dunham is a secret double agent for some right wing think tank. It's the only explanation that makes sense.

Yet utterly predictable. The Dems are a diverse big tent party. the GOP is not, and it also cowers to authority. Of course they wouldn't defect.

I blame the Nobel Prize committee.

Maybe ELO counts. But there was practically a No Prog Rock sign on the Hall until Rush finally got in.

Yeah, I'm not a fan of Yes or prog rock, but the author misses the mark on this one. The RRHoF actually has a well-earned reputation for ignoring prog rock until very recently, and it's hard to seriously make the claim that prog rock is well-represented. And Yes honestly IS arguably the biggest and most important prog…

Exactly. I don't want a bunch of Boomer assholes talking about how the importance of, say, Fugazi. 80s hardcore and the bands that came out of it was supposed to be a rejection of that bullshit. We don't need, nor do we want, their approval.

It was live as it happened. I mean, I streamed the events through their app, and had a grand old time watching things like archery (South Korean women's team FTMFW!), team handball, and fencing. Yes, the TV coverage could be lousy and jingoistic, but NBC literally provided free streaming of every event as it happened,…

Politics have always been pop culture. Presidential campaigns have long been knee deep in entertainment and merchandising. Even back to George Washington.

The Earth is Weeping: The Epic Story of the Indian Wars for the Indian West is an immersive history that only mostly makes me want to kill myself. The author does a good job of not making the Native Americans passive victims or some faceless blob, trying to show the different motivations and strategies of the…

My mom married her husband when I was 25. Our families have never really bonded, as we didn't ever live under the same roof. Or the same city, for that matter.

I always loved the dynamic of Mystique and Destiny trying to kill all of the X-Men while also being loving parents of Rogue. Claremont X-Men really took that family vibe out for a spin.

Best thing I've ever seen during Christmas. I was at my mom's stepdaughter's house for Christmas one year, and the stepdaughter is fairly materialistic and has the kind of kids you can imagine. Anyway, we were watching the Grinch and when we got to the scene in which the Whos wake up without any presents, her kid…

The media promotional tour for Passengers seems more interesting than the movie itself. Which does not appear to be a high bar, but still.

Even more amazing, it skips from about 1908 straight to WWII.

Actually, that is a good documentary, but I do feel its trying to glom on social commentary of the era on to the event. It makes us feel better if the trial actually had meaning other than a really rich and famous guy can murder his wife and get away with it.

I pay for music because I want the people who make things I like to get paid, so they continue making things I like. Trump is a fascist dillhole and the music industry has spent decades screwing over musicians, but that doesn't justify you stealing from musicians, too. Piracy makes it seems like a consumer's complaint…

I love that era, so I found it fascinating. I loved every page of The Fade Out.

Yeah, I feel Marvel has a lot of great books right now that are simply not selling. It's their high profile books which suck out loud. It's a shame they are cancelling their interesting books like Mockingbird and Nighthawk.
