Led Zep's "Good Times, Bad Times"

I really enjoyed this.

Wow, O'Neal goes for the sublime when a smoking phones causes him to launch into cosmic horror

Best joke of the night:

Headline tense is wrong, innit? Should be "would be a satanic ritual" as he was predicting shit that didn't happen yet, rather than opining about it afterward

I wrote in I Don't Even Own a Television, an excellent bad book podcast

Also related: Street Fight Radio, worth it just for the Chapo training wheel episodes

Are the lyrics still terrible? The weakest part of the first album felt like a dude in his 40s grasping at some world-weary early Replacements/Jawbreaker thing, wanting the fucked-up lifestyle and ignoring how his heroes spent the next twenty years gaining wisdom, getting clean, and trying to survive that early

Top marks for this. Angry O'Neal is fun O'Neal, as always.

Interesting topic covered in a lamentably glib, shallow way. While the writer does mention increasing corporate control over studios, he completely leaves out that increasingly corporate movie theater chains changes their admission policies(getting into an R-rated flick was easier, for example, as we all saw Die Hard

Best shoegazer album out yet?

Might as well repost my comment from the last time we covered this:

Or the senior editor at Boing Boing's video game blog, perhaps?

Aaaaaaand the review of Armada is already out. Guess what, kids: do you like plots borrowed from earlier, better genre works, featuring characters waving signposts explicitly pointing to those works? Then you're in luck!

So, John, would you say that NdGT….fumbled…on his explanation here?

If only Alan Partridge were here, he could declare it a 'chatastrophe'

Did they ever explain how he changed back to blonde?

Sean, do all the rest of the Newswire writers submit headlines with their posts, or does the editor take care of that bit?

How did Oneal not write up this news bit? His Atlas Shrugged updates are always a joy to read
