Just what I was going to say (or close enough). It's not an overlooked classic or anything, but I don't think it deserves the amount of scorn everyone seems to heap on it.

Yeah, I'd attribute a lot of the love Clueless gets over something like Heathers to the fact that Clueless actually cares about its characters (and I say that as someone who absolutely loves Heathers).

Is the article saying that the lyrics of I Am The Walrus are the only bad part? Because first it says the music is great, and then it says the singing is great, and then just kind of shoves Jim Carrey in our faces before moving on to the next letter.

Yeah, Morrissey's brand of jackass at least lines up with his music; Kozelek's dickishness just adds a bad taste to a lot of his output.

The A.V. Club:

The Aquemini cover's actually grown on me a bit; you want truly awful Outkast artwork, look no further than Southernplayalisticadillacmuzik (I hope I'm remembering that right).

Yes. Headless Agnew is amazing, all the more so because they never bother to explain him. That, and the disembodied groans coming from his neck-stump.

And so Dr. Dugong was born. Really brings a tear to one's eye.

It's weird; even the long-awaited follow-up didn't seem to bring more attention to The Cold Vein. There wasn't even much "this record is kind of a disappointment, remember how great that old one was?" which seems par for the course for most returning acts nowadays.

Nothing current here; mainly stuff I've just gotten around to consuming now.

Old New Yorker cartoons, no question, especially the ones from the '20s and '30s. I don't laugh at a lot of them, and have no idea if they were supposed to be funny even at the time, but I just love the atmosphere they evoke.

Should I just assume, then, that the feminine rhyme is taboo there?

Fair enough. Like the review where he said Hot Rats was ripping off Captain Beefheart. (Because Beefheart was a guest vocalist on the album? I still haven't puzzled that one out).

Thank you. Bangs is the only writer in that vein I can tolerate, and even then, he took that schtick too far a lot. Read his Fear of Music review and just try to tell me what he's talking about. I dare you.

I really love how different the two movies are visually while still retaining that common thread. And it might just be first-viewing excitement skewing my judgment, but I think I actually prefer the animation in Song of the Sea. It just looks so much richer.

Hot (Cot?) damn, Trill is an amazing song. I'd happily buy a full instrumental version of this album, but that track especially. The beat just pulsates.

I love how in panel 5, Calvin's mouth and the wonky perspective make it look like he's trying to take a bite out of the couch.

Not at all. It's just being overenthusiastic with the free samples.

I really don't want to know why this article was filed under Pudding Cups.
