That was definitely Burl Ives singing Big Rock Candy Mountain, not Pete Seeger.

Still not corrected. I guess AV Club comments just don’t matter anymore.
Questlove is in the back. Black Thought is shaking the sneaker in the front.
Norm is the antidote for today’s penchant to look to comedians for insightful social and political commentary. Norm is funny, but why would anyone expect his take on any of these issues to be particularly enlightened?
That bugged me too. In other contexts the writers have done a great job of depicting lawyering and the legal profession, but sometimes they ditch reality for the sake of plotting.
The padding out of the run time on this show has gotten so egregious, that when Jimmy unwrapped that pallet of cell phones I said, “They are going to make us watch him carry each stack of those phones into the nail salon, aren’t they?” And sure enough they did. I’ve never really had a problem with the showier music…
Sad to say, but I’m starting to find this show actually boring. I think the Chuck-Jimmy relationship was the heart of the show, and Chuck’s death has really left a hole. The show can still dazzle with its craft and design, but too much of it is now in the service of simply the origin story for Breaking Bad. Do we…
Before they had seen the movie we had started listening to the Mulan soundtrack with my daughters, and listening to those songs out of context from the movie was a challenge. Why do the retrograde, misogynistic politics of the period get distilled into such catchy songs? My girls are listening to the men sing about…
There is no way that a bank the size of Mesa Verde with those expansion plans would have a single lawyer. They would need the resources of a massive firm, and the plot centering on her acting as a sole practitioner rings false and seems like a misstep by the writers.
I agree. I have very little interest in Fring himself, since his path isn’t that complicated or interesting at this point. Breaking Bad did a good enough job establishing his roots and what he was about, I don’t think this show has much to add. Mike’s story in the first two seasons was compelling, but at this point…
Each time I read Jim “The Anvil” Neidhart’s name, in my head it’s in the voice of Howard Finkel introducing him in the ring. It’s amazing how much all of these guys are etched in my mind. RIP to the Anvil and Nikolai Volkov.
Thank you so much for this. I still have no idea what kind of fucking noise “tsz” is supposed to sound like. Also I’ve been changing the brown hats to yellow hats when I read it forever, and the one time I read it as written, my daughter was quick to correct me. “Those are yellow, Daddy!”
Can tech writers all quit bitching about phone notches? Please? If designers shrunk the screen you’d all start complaining about bezels again.
I’m a Google Play Music subscriber and went running back to the GPM app after a few minutes on YouTube Music. Here’s hoping they get all this sorted out.
When Fallon first went on the air I remember thinking that his enthusiasm for the show was genuine and refreshing. Now it is all just so forced and embarrassing, I can’t even watch these clips without squirming.
To the different-sized pours recommendation, can I also add “and bartenders/servers who don’t give you shit for ordering a smaller-sized beer.” A place I frequent for lunch offers three-sizes, and the smallest size is perfect with lunch on a workday, and I swear each time I do it I have to deal with my server…
Wishing you all luck in finding a new home. Hopefully wherever that may be will mean pulling the site out of Kinja and making it navigable again.
He didn’t even have to read another article. He just had to read a few comments on Twitter.
I can’t for the life of me figure out what the hell you are trying to say in this story.
This story is not “via Indiewire.” Indiewire merely wrote up a summary of the interview in Vanity Fair. So this article is a repackaging of an already repackaged piece. I realize this is the state of internet reporting now, but at least try to send your readers back to the original piece so that the people/publication…
