I love Zebra. But maybe because I have a soft spot for dumb 1920s chanson.

I just looked at the track list to refresh my memory. Only one I don't especially like is "Washington DC," but even that is so catchy in an almost aggressively awful way that I can't hate it. Otherwise, that album has so many all time personal favorites for me. And even its more forgettable songs are still really…

Pretty dead on. I'd say "i" is as good as anything they've ever done, and distortion is 75% good.

I think some jobs I've had have required it, but they usually accept something else in lieu of it.

It's massively overrated. I really hate "The Preacher." It's desperately trying to do Tarantino in comic form, but fails utterly, so it's all just 90s edginess and violence for its own sake.

If only Lance Henriksen weren't 80!

I think it's ultimately setting up some kind of coalition situation, where Sansa (representing the Vale), Tyrion, Asha, Arrianne Martel, and whoever gets Winterfell (Jon, I guess?) form some kind of truce and rule together.

Yes. The series is just moving to fast for me to take anything in or care anymore. It's all just plot rushing forward, with little regard for character or pacing. It seems like D&D have lost interest and are just trying to finish it as fast as possible.

The shitty Polanski movie is pretty good, albeit it strangely resembles an adventure game. Like, there are sequences in the film where Depp solves puzzles in the exact way a character solves puzzles in an adventure game. Plus, it had more than a passing resemblance to "Gabriel Knight," which maybe is what made me…

He does. Like, exactly. I'm not sure how anyone could think he's Allen's biological kid.

Ditto. Allen doesn't have the long string of alleged abuses Cosby did. This is basically just a one off he said she said incident that the press covered a good deal at the time. I really don't think it's the press's business to hound him on this in every interview unless some new information appears. And it's…

Her subsequent material is really good too. I don't think it has much mainstream appeal, but she'd probably be getting all the critical respect, high profile festival and concert appearances, along with appearances on higher profile albums (Beyonce, Kanye, etc) if she wasn't so intent on alienating everyone and…

Her music is really good, though, which is why her antics distracting from it is really frustrating. Her newest mixtape is back to back awesome. Of course, she had to release it as a mixtape probably because labels won't work with her. She did get pretty big talent to work with her on it, but if she keeps…

Pitchfork was pretty big long before Parks and Rec. I'm pretty sure I first heard about them through Pitchfork and most people my age (i.e. too young to know about them in 98, but old enough to have first heard about them in their first big wave of popularity in the mid 2000s) heard about them through Pitchfork.

People don't point it out much since SOIAF got huge (because anything as big as it is always also gets a backlash), but GRRM is a pretty good writer. And among other fantasy writers, he's brilliant. The fantasy genre is dominated by some awful writers. Great at world building and, sometimes plotting, but terrible…

Her novels would make an awesome, albeit unconventional, TV series or mini-series. HBO should get on that.

Yeah, there are a few really good songs on it. What underwhelms me, though, is that at times it sounds more like a Hudson Mohawke album than anything Anohni has done in the past. It's great that she's gone in a new direction, I was just hoping for her to put more of her sensibility on the production side of things.

I'm a MASSSIVE Anohni/Antony and the Johnson's fan. But even I would admit her voice is best in smaller doses. Which isn't necessarily a bad thing. I'd say the same of Bjork, actually.

Nah. Selleck's character wasn't at all prissy. I saw "In & Out" recently and apart from what a big deal it makes out of being gay (something that seems slightly odd now), I didn't find it homophobic.

People really like "The Birdcage?" I never found it funny. Nor do I really think its depiction of gays all that revolutionary, even for its time (they're a bunch of grating stereotypes). "In & Out" was better. Especially since its marketing was kind of brilliant: it made it seem like the main character wasn't gay,…
