Just watched Gravity Falls for the first time last night; the kids got a DVD for Xmas with the first six episodes and I sat down with them to see what it was like and laughed my ass off the whole way through. It's always great when kids and adults can watch things together and be equally entertained, and I'm looking…

Music is the pop culture that occupies most of my free time, but with two kids and a full-time job I haven't been able to keep up with newer music to the extent that I did ten years ago. I've slept on some great things in recent years and somehow until a few months ago I hadn't heard Animal Collective, but my super…

Hell, if you're a guy, hair starts showing up where you don't want it and starts falling out of the only place where you actually want it to be.

The only reason I'd like to go back to that time is to buy all the cool records I didn't know about back then. Vinyl was being phased out in the late eighties and I might have been able to pick up some good stuff dirt cheap. That and I would have done more drugs, most definitely.

Yeah, I can see that. I meant it in more general terms; obviously full immersion in the pop culture of one's choice isn't going to be a cure-all for everything. What I was trying to say is just finding those little things in life that you enjoy or recognizing those brief moments of happiness when they happen…

Also noticed Fisto chatting with Snout Spout in the opening scene.

Or Lysol: Clean, Yes! Drunk, Yes!

I suspect it won't be long now before someone counts them and we are treated to a "supercut" of Letterman throwing pencils here at Great Job, Internet.

Yeah, either that or sit at home and ogle the ladies in the Victoria's Secret catalog.

Or "trickling down", as it were.

I think I get it. I love it here, but from reading the comments musical tastes do seem to veer toward the mainstream around here. I still remember people complaining during 1994 week because they hadn't heard of every band in the mix tape article (instead of, I dunno…clicking on the links in the article and maybe…

We need another Vietnam to thin out their ranks a little.

Joe DiMaggio.

I bought my Dad the cassingle for Xmas and waited all of two days before I borrowed it (cuz it was his tape, after all), put it in my Zellers brand ghetto blaster and spent the good part of an afternoon playing and pausing it over and over again while scribbling down the lyrics (though I did get a few wrong; Dad clued…

I only watched the store-bought VHS once, but now that I think about it there was at least one extra song that wasn't included in the version on our Xmas tape.

My favorite was Sebadoh, if only for reading all the nasty comments by butt-hurt Rush fans.

Yes, Herbie not Stewie, thank you. And upvoted for "rack on Clarice".

When I was a kid we had a "Christmas tape" full of movies and Xmas specials taped off TV that we watched repeatedly, and the Rankin-Bass Rudolph was on there. I watched it all the time back then and remembered it fondly, and then many years later my mother sent us a proper VHS copy for our kids to watch. In short:…

Both characters got their own sequels: "Liza" from Heavy Petting Zoo and "Louise" from Pump Up The Valuum. Each song makes it clear they had since moved on to new things - Liza is now "a fem bitch top, a giant step from old Louise", and Louise has "got a new pet" (and the lyrics for that one go into such graphic…

Part one ("Judy Is A Punk") is what came to mind, but basically I was thinking the same thing.
