When In Rainbows came out, a bandmate of mine said it was their best album ever and I thought he was full of shit. After years of it growing on me, though… yeah, I was wrong. He was right.

One album that I think really unexpectedly captures the same feeling is Frank Zappa's Playground Psychotics, which is half live material and half audio-vérité stuff captured in the band's downtime between shows. It's pretty illuminating in that it shows just how much time on tour spent doing sweet fuck all and waiting…

Yup!

And I retract my upvote on your "fuck off".

Trans-Exclusionary Radical Feminist. Radical feminists who think trans women aren't women.

"Queer" as a self-identified label also has a more politicized history, having emerged between the end of the AIDS crisis and just as the LGBT movement was becoming more mainstream. One of the many catalysts for the reclaiming of the term was the "Queers Read This" pamphlet that radical activists handed out at Pride…

Criminal Minded's skeletal, drum-machine-heavy mix still sounds really good. I can take or leave KRS-One's rapping.

No joke, I have a band and I want to do this. How do I credit you?

He's pretty notorious for cancelling gigs. IIRC, I think the FYF cancellation was part of a bigger wave of cancellations coinciding with him having hurt his throat, which is legit, but maybe not "cancel several months' worth of gigs" legit.

I mutter "shut the fuck up, Paul" at my screen regularly when I watch the show.

That and the end of Season 7 made me bawl.

That's disappointing.

Upvoted for how hyper-specific that reference is. (Was Thunes really that much of an asshole, though?)

I saw that Martin Shkreli was trending on Facebook and for a brief, glorious moment I thought he might be dead.

I found the film devastatingly sad.
