I am a 90s girl and to this day still maintain that Mellon Collie is one of the best alternative albums ever released and that Tonight, Tonight is one of the best music videos ever created. The Pumpkins still have great replay value, though I will admit that “The Perfect Drug” and “Closer to God” are as far as I go for…

You honestly think that fucker would make it into heaven? Dude is on the express train endless torture 

Didn’t he also have a similar set-up in The Discreet Charm Of The Bourgeoisie, or am I getting my Buñuels mixed up?

Props to Angelica on a really cool illustration.

Hard to hear, too.

That’s what this column is here for! :) 

I only drink the stuff, I don’t know how any of it works :D

There’s a pretty 0bvious difference between doing something that makes you happy that other people think is dumb, and doing something that makes you happy that causes the deaths of millions. I think you’re probably smart enough to figure out what that difference is.

Great article! I like that you had several brewers weigh in; this seems like the sort of thing that is a major factor in brewery success, but I’ve never heard about recipe tweaking before now.

I mean, I guess if you just listened to Top 40 radio rock, that might be true. With the influence of music corporations waning and the internet yet to be totally yoked to its own corporate masters, there’s literally never been a larger, more diverse set of influences on Western music.

I don’t want my butter evenly distributed! I want to get that occasional piece that just has salt, a bunch of pieces that are lightly buttered, and a few that are just a little soggy from getting hit with a clump of it. You’re eating it by the handful anyway! Variety is the spice of life!

That’s a feasible take; I don’t know how it’s “gross” though. Ultimately, it would probably be best if we didn’t have to imagine the conclusions of the writing staff. It’s one thing to be too lazy to polish your copy for spelling/grammatical mistakes; it’s another to not even bother to explain your critical positions.

My favorite food when I’m sad are potatoes...as in vodka.

Pretty horrorshow, my droog. :-)

Come sit next to me. My ma shushed me last week when I said somebody died. “Say they passed on,” she hissed at me. C’mon ma. He’s dead. We weren’t at the funeral. We weren’t around his friends or family. That guy died. 

It’s always really confused me when people seem to get personally offended and legitimately pissed off when a product comes out that they don’t like. It’s weird to care so much about the things other people buy. 

You must be a youngster. They’ve always been about gimmicks! ROB, the Power Glove, Super Scope, SNES mouse and keyboard, Donkey Kongas, the entire existence of the Virtual Boy and Nintendo Wii...

It gives me this vibe. It will happen. Be rich enough.
