Wonder most definitely has to be an influence for Jay Kay and the late Toby Smith. I imagine they wore the grooves off his records as kids.

Definitely got a Steve vibe. Imagine getting mistaken for Stevie Wonder? High praise indeed. 

For real, one of the very fucking best songs of the 90s, any genre. I’ve loved Jamiroquai ever since, even though a lot of their stuff sounds pretty similar. Brilliant video, brilliant pre-CGI effects, brilliant vocals, brilliant instrumentals, catchy as hell... ticks all the boxes. (Plus, “Travelling Without Moving” d…

Deebo, as he will always be known in the Black community, was a truly nice man in person too! I saw him with his wife and kids in a restaurant in Dearborn, Michigan about 3 years ago. No one could miss him because of his size, but he entered and humbly waved and smiled as they were seated. His beautiful Black wife and…

I was hoping for fun behind the scenes facts about planning for space travel, not a pile of tiktoks.

Happy Turkey Day to everyone out there in AVC land. And I really can’t recommend that oral history of Electra records enough. It was fascinating and seemed to have such a random mix of people talking about their time either recording for them or working for them that really, really worked well. 

If we’re going to pretend that it’s just business, and he willingly signed a legal contract, etc. then it should be equally fair, from a business perspective, to point out that Chappelle would be a fool not to use the impressive levers he has at his disposal to facilitate a better deal for himself, however…

Zoya HATE movie. Is bourgeois capitalist scam 

I move for a bad court thingy!

Hearsay and conjecture are kinds of evidence.

Wow, this is like an old-school AVC article. Probably, what, 10000 words about rock music and not a single attempt to make it Politically Relevant. More of this please!

That is impressive. You might even say that she’s turned her work ethic up to Eleven.

I’m a Lemon of Troy man, but there are dozens of episodes that could reasonably be called the best ever.

Since The AV Club has stopped recapping The Simpsons for some dumb reason, I’ll just say that the last Treehouse of Horror was actually pretty solid. Not top-tier but far more inspired than others in recent memory.

It’s amazing how Oscar Mayer has managed to get their name so associated with hot dogs because their hot dogs are absolutely terrible.

I wonder how many graduates Hot Dog High places at Hamburger U?

There was a discussion on another site where people who have actually worked at McDonald’s commented. Apparently the machines themselves decide when they need to self-clean (based on use) and the cleaning cycle takes a couple of hours -- they aren’t actually broken, just not available. Naturally on hot days when…

Randi was such a clever and impish man.  I enjoy having known about him, and having seen him tear up some charlatans.  Rest well, sir.

I found out about this hours ago, and I still have that feeling you got when you were little and your balloon got away.
