There's also We Made it Through Another One, Headin' up ta the Lake, and 'Bout Time ta Get the Coats Outta the Attic, among others.

I've lived in Illinois too and can conclusively say this is better.

I was born in Minnesota, raised in Wisconsin, and returned to Minnesota as an adult. I've hardly been able to bear reading news reports from Wisconsin for the past seven years. It's brought me to tears more than once.

I fucking haaaaaaate the winters but I'm serious when I say that the other seasons and the year-round cultural environment more than make up for it. If I'm to be in the United States, there's nowhere else I'd rather be.

I didn't feel great about voting for him the first time out, as at the time I considered his radio network to be the embodiment of the kind of smug liberalism that does the cause more harm than good. Cut to eight years later and there's literally no current congressperson who I'd be prouder to have representing me. I…

I don't think I ever saw more than ten consecutive minutes of an episode, but I recall one where Richard Moll was running some kind of monkey-driven beachfront theft ring and another where a kid was embarrassed that his father was a dwarf but learned the error of his ways when his dad did something heroic or some such.

I caught Office Space on TV recently and realized I hadn't seen it since before I'd started working office jobs. If anything, that movie has only increased its gut-punchery over time.

I've encountered quite a few younger film folks who are baffled that Clerks is regarded as any kind of classic, and I sorta get where they're coming from. Everything that seemed so radical about it at the time was quickly copied and compromised by both the mainstream and indie film industries (I worked for a sizable…

For my money, they're some of the finest lyricists of the '90s alt-rock boom, even though I can see why their "poignant smart-ass" hook wouldn't appeal to everybody. But man, the lyrics…

As a Wisconsin-raised Minnesotan, I will attest that she was correct. There are versions of Jean Teasdale and Jim Anchower in every corner of the globe, but I've always felt that the specifics of those two could only have come from someone who's spent plenty of time in certain pockets of Wisconsin.

Not to mention Mr. Lightfoot.

Maybe you and me were never meant to be, but baby, think of me once in a while. I'm at WKRP in Cincinnati.

I like Bob Seger and sort of like American Pop, but yeah, having a Seger song represent the uber-hip culmination of two decades of rock music doesn't jibe one bit.

Christ, I listened to the "Grease Knows Eggs" episode for the first time last night and had to stifle myself so many times to keep from waking up my wife.

Sean's description of that King Arthur movie as being a perfect thing to watch by yourself at a weekday matinee made me more enamored of Sean than ever, as seeing mediocre movies by myself at weekday matinees is one of my favorite things in this life.

The 10th Anniversary Superego live shows on Howl are, of course, phenomenal (give or take a Jeff Davis bit that misfires badly and never quite recovers). Even though the genius of their studio work hinges largely on Matt Gourley's painstaking editing, they still bring it live. Andy Daly pops up as Don DiMello in the…

The taste test segment of the first episode makes me cry laughing every single time. I don't think I've ever heard an improv team more dedicated to pimping each other into insanity, nor one better equipped to turn said pimping into something hilarious.

Too Much Joy is indeed a hard sell. I adore them and have tried to win a lot of friends over to their charms over the years. I think I succeeded exactly once.

I hope so. I use both apps, but I'm way more comfortable with Howl.

Yeah, I've been using it for a couple of years. I actually rather like it, despite its fairly frequent glitchery.
