I think they kind of flip-flopped with him for a long time until settling on black.

Do you know what an apartment that big would cost on the Sun?

Fits even better then!

The Simpsons already did it.

First Mike Vago, now you. People don't know what SNPP is anymore. God, I'm so old!

At the end of her life, Maggie is back to wearing diapers and being unable to speak. Full circle!

The Simpsons finally move out of Springfield. Just as they cross the town border they discover… the Statue of Liberty? Wait a minute… that was our planet!

I prefer the idea of Homer Simpson waking up in a bed with Suzanne Pleshette Tracey Ullman.

Yeah, it can feel a little daunting (I'm not exactly looking forward to the factory level on replays), but it's mostly worth it.

Oh yeah, Banjo-Tooie is wonderful. It's a common complaint that the game is too huge for its own good but I don't think Rare went too far with it. Now, Donkey Kong 64 on the other hand…

"Change My Life" from the Love Ways EP is my favorite non-album track. I adore the second verse.

Favorite song from each album (haven't heard Telephono):

Gimme Fiction has three of the greatest songs ever written ("The Beast and Dragon, Adored", "I Turn My Camera On", "The Infinite Pet"), but I find it less consistent overall than Kill The Moonlight and Ga Ga Ga Ga Ga. The latter is, to me, pretty much the perfect album.

Their openers are always so good. I adore Small Stakes, Don't Make Me A Target and The Beast and Dragon, Adored.

It's incredible that "Don't You Evah" is a cover. It's like the quintessential Spoon song to me. (The original is pretty good too though)

Doesn't get going until the fourth song?? "Rent I Pay" and "Rainy Taxi" are my favorite tracks from the album so far.

I met him a few months ago and can confirm all of that. Genuinely nice, laid-back guy and I'd be surprised if he was actually capable of seriously hating anything. Also, his graphic novel "Wizzywig" is a great, great read.

Certainly, the seeds are there, and it's not a top-tier episode. "Homerpalooza" still works better than most of the later Homer's wacky new job episodes because there's a believable emotional undercurrent and it's not just about how he fails at it because he's such an idiot. Later on giving Homer new jobs would often…

This episode and Summer of 4 ft. 2 make for such a great mid-1990s time capsule. It's so fitting that they aren't only consecutive episodes but even originally aired on the same night.

If you haven't yet, check out Jillian and Mariko Tamaki's This One Summer. It's one of the most gorgeous, atmospheric graphic novels I've had the pleasure of reading.
