Also Idina is clearly dubbing the line "What a *freaking* sweatheart!"

tick…tick…tick…

I'm pretty sure I Wanna Boi is sung by Liv though, so at least there's that…

The theatre kid in me hopes to hell that someone else mentioned it farther down and I just can't find it, but that whole song was clearly a parody of 'We Do Not Belong Together' from Sondheim's Sunday in the Park with George. It's obvious Cecily has quite a lot of unresolved Broadway daydreams, because, so far, all of…

True Affections is a perfect song

That whole sketch was the best thing they did that election season.
"Ya hear that, Mitt Romney? You're one bad ass motherfucker."

There all is aching.

Best/weirdest little thing in the title sequence: at the top of the Meeting Your Biggest Fan page is (part of) an ingredients list for an enchilada recipe.

I'd put the Tweexcore, Christmas, and Sockets EPs above the past two albums (though there's still great stuff in there like Avocado Baby, Songs About Your Girlfriend, The Dark Slope)

The shifting tempos and time signatures, and random dovetails into noise-pop and post-rock. That stuff started decreasing after…

¡Si…Conando!

It really should become a prominent addition to the theoretical 2016 Election time capsule. It's able to convey the numb, surreal anxiety of it all better than anything else. I hope the interview with the guys from The Circus is shown in retrospectives years from now.

I think it's the best, most effective, version of the story. The book is so hard to get through. The movie feels too detached and comes off as more of a condemnation of "Wall Street types". The musical is a satire/condemnation of American society as a whole.
