re: upper body strength
Interestingly, Juliana has been known to play Gibson Les Paul models which tend to be quite heavy, whereas Fender Stratocasters or Telecasters—the latter being Ms. Hynde's model of choice—are not at all heavy. On the other hand, there's plenty
of female bassists out there and almost any bass is…

Re: Lily Allen
"By the time the song is over" she proves to be a low form of life.

The most recent version of Hole was a bust. And the less said about her solo career…
But April 12th is the 20th anniversary of Live Through This' release and if people are willing to see the band once again, more power to 'em.

Well, she just reunited the Live Through This-era Hole, so…

Adam Sandler just might be the best argument for communism ever to come out of show biz.

I was thinking from the moment they voice an interest being in the school play, but your thing works, too.

"We learned it’s going to be a while until the late-night status quo is shaken up to the point where the person delivering the Late Night monologue is of a different race…"

Surprised not to see some Peter Gabriel fans here…dude’s first 4 albums were released a year or so apart, then 4, 6, 10 years apart, respectively.

If a child of mine decides to go into musical theatre I will drown them in the bathtub. That is all.

Yeah, but that show already has a host who's doing a great job. Plus, it would be a step down for Conan.

First thing that comes to mind is Ryan Adams' Love Is Hell…

Um, shouldn't that read, "Mike Mills, formerly of R.E.M. (and sitting in with tonight's musical guest, Joseph Arthur) tweeted that…"

Bullock produced one of my fave jazz albums of the last 30 years: Mike Stern's Upside Downside [Atlantic-1986].

He's my choice. He was meant for bigger things than TBS, for Pete's sake.

Point taken. But the dude is über opinionated and prides himself on being able to back up his rants, so he should know his shit.

Interesting perspective. In the eyes of most you missed the entire apex of REM's career. But that might have made you approach their catalog in a more open manner.

Low-hanging fruit is something dangling from the the 80th floor of a skyscraper compared to this tune. I mean, yeah, it's a sucky earworm, sure. But aren't there other songs more deserving of a takedown? It's not like "Shiny Happy People" is a sacred cow or anything.

Um, Pet Shop Boy Neil Tennant? Ira Robbins?

Nothing wrong with shaking things up, even if it seems like a batshit crazy idea. At a time when rap is going thru its "hair band" phase, I don't mind some artsy, pretentious shit. Better that than yet another bullshit Kanye West record.

When Kirk Cameron's movies are invoked as a positive comparison you know your flick is in trouble.
