Gotham has, a few times. It's very rare though, and when it happens they have to call someone special in to get things done.

Good point, Vig did the previous ones. Probably explains it.

No arguments there.

Rolling Stone and NME ran with the slogan but I don't think it ever caught on that much. It's about as good an umbrella term as anyone can think of, unfortunately. Either way, the first half of the 00's is the last time guitar music ever reached that level of popularity, so for that alone it's notable trend-wise.

The 00's were obvious - nu-metal gave way to the annoyingly named 'new rock revolution', kicked off with The Strokes, White Stripes, Hives, Interpol, etc. Here in the UK this continued in the second half of the decade with the Arctic Monkeys and a million other copycats.

Most people feel that way, but as Brian Eno said you can only really appreciate cultural movements in hindsight. Then there's the internet fracturing music tastes, blah blah blah. Basically: musical trends will never go way, they'll just be a little harder to determine now.

Is Mellon Collie the most 90s record ever? Quite possibly.

For all of Corgan's transitioning into the Nicolas Cage of music, I've always been fascinated by his underlying 'beef' with Radiohead. Their enduring popularity seems to really annoy him, though he did recently concede they were one of the last mainstream bands to do anything interesting with the guitar.

Yup, petulant Saul doesn't work on any level. At least the show's acknowledging he's kind of a dick now.

I, also, would like that explained. That Gotcha! would only work if they'd had scenes with other people present and had to act accordingly, but not the way they behaved to each other beforehand in private.

Oof, they really applied the brakes in this one. I know there's more to come but usually the 'we don't have enough plot for a whole season' episode airs a lot later.

Noah's a dick, but I don't believe under any circumstance he'd think getting married at that point in time would have been a good idea. Just another plot driver, as is Whitney's entire existence.

Always weird to be reminded how huge No Doubt were, because they're effectively a one-hit wonder band in the UK. Don't Speak was a monster and then… nothing.

There seems to be a pervading consensus that it's a great pop record, for some reason. I think all the bemusement over the lyrics turned into a kind of endearment.

It's not as unlikely as you seem to think - Cox still talks of that record with a lot of fondness.

I'm always amazed at how effortlessly this band own whatever sound they try their hand at. It's exciting to wonder what they'll try next.

"Nice mistranslation going on….what I actually said: lots has been
recorded, and we’re about to go through it all….to see if it’s any good.
And we HOPE to tour next year: no plans confirmed yet. Sorry for the
over enthusiastic translator." - Jonny Greenwood on Twitter

As a Brit, I think the country has really mixed emotions towards that era. We know it was utterly obnoxious and yet… it's still somehow preferable to the nothingness we have now in pop music. Perhaps it's an inevitable sentiment when one turns thirty, but I have no clue what mainstream music kids today will be…

'You can't dictate love by a damn survey! A MAN'S NOT A PIECE OF FRUIT!!'

Kubrick was playing a grand joke on the audience with the marketing. The film itself is absolutely not meant to be 'sexy'.
