lol, biker bar…

I live in the area, and I'd just like to point out the Desert Sun is not the local paper. The Desert Sun really covers the Coachella Valley which Pappy and Harriet's is not located in. It's very close by, and given how fast I can get to Coachella (within an hour), you might think I'm arguing semantics. I usually tell…

I'll be pleasantly surprised if his birthday is really in September and you just somehow knew his month of birth. Let's see…

And if you haven't gathered from the comments, she's been pretty prolific with other acts over the last ten years or so. Check them out, too. It's impressive to hear her vocals grow stronger over the years as a teenager to now. So while the Hush Sound's A Dark Congregation is a great song and she sounds great on it,…

Greta Morgan isn't really her name either, so it's sort of her stage name, as well. It's Greta Salpeter. Or at least it was when she was a member of the Hush Sound. Honestly, I'm not sure what caused the name change (unless it was the aforementioned relationship that ended in a breakup). Useless information, I know.

I didn't know the Lannisters were from Great Britain! That explains so much…

Yeah, I follow the guy on twitter (I use it to basically follow some actors, directors, and pop culture people I enjoy/admire) and he genuinely seems to enjoy interacting with people online usually.

So there was an article about New Girl here before the new season started where I said I found Lamorne Morris to be the show's bottomless mine of comedy (or something to that effect). It's always the weird little things he does that I find the most funny, and here we go again: His greeting to Nick over the phone was…

Agreed. I was just sort of making a joke, except for the sex scene argument. I suppose that is just subjective as well, but personally I've never seen a sex scene and come away from it thinking 'Yeah, that added something to the story.'

In all honesty, the Sleepy Jackson wasn't even really a recommendation. But the Hush Sound was. Glad you liked it! Greta also was in a band called Gold Motel.

Use the free trial in January. Problem solved?

Someone's gone and left them on a train!

Haven't you noticed the Great A.V. Club TV Review Purge of 2016? Despite four years of great coverage, I'm assuming we're done with that here. Too bad.

Yeah, I liked the acknowledgement.

I'm not. It was fairly standard with completely predictable beats (minus a couple hints that things could get interesting. Also, Matt Frewer.) and cookie-cutter characters. But it's also a pilot where things can be bumpy for any show, and the pedigree behind it could serve the show well in the long run (which this…

Here's some "Music They Used to Make" from a couple of the artists mentioned here. The weird looking guy in Empire of the Sun? He was in a group called The Sleepy Jackson that made an album that sort of aped Oasis/the Beatles/lots of other bands from the early 00s:

I would insist they look like Rivers Cuomo, Brian Bell, Matt Sharp, and Pat Wilson, too.

I think there's such a thing as an unnecessary sex scene. The first episode of Luke Cage has one of those. I would say 99.9% of show that have them don't need them. But nudity? I could get naked right now and it wouldn't be unnecessary. It just would be!

I've been waiting for this show for what seems like forever (or two years? I don't know. When was this announced?) and the pilot paid off well. Sure, there's some confusion about some things and not every scene was A+ amazing, but I'm in. I've recently watched the first few episodes of Carnivale again recently and I…

Yeah, and when Mike Piazza was on the Dodgers as well. There's no question that he was the most popular Dodger from his rookie year to when he left the team. Hell, he was the most popular Marlin and he was only with them for a blink of an eye.
