Comic Papyrus:

Oh, yeah, if that’s the case it would be pretty jerkish of the guy. The article would be better off making that clear, though.

We can’t see the previous comments, but it’s not clear that Deborah was actually the costume designer for Indy until later; when she first says “The question was right because I provided it”, I at first took “it” to mean the question to Jeopardy, not the costume to Indy. This appears to be just one person…

Rest in piss, Disqus.

Defining a decade by its variety seems odd, since every decade in the modern rock era has a lot of it. You generally weren't hearing Crenshaw or Gun Club or the Misfits or Bauhaus on the radio unless you were listening to college stations or John Peel. But almost everything on commercial TV radio, which was…

St. Anger is basically gated drums but the drums are garbage cans, or perhaps metal pots being played at the bottom of a well.

"Great drum sound". How to tell the article writer never lived through the post-apocalyptic musical wasteland known as the 80s. All the one-dimensional range of autotune, but used with a regularity that made autotune seem like an obscure novelty by comparison.

I really thought the electronica movement would have received more play here, rather than just the one casual mention. I remember thinking at the time that it seems like every rock band simultaneously got a memo that they needed to add shitty synths and electronic drums to their sound at once, without any real hint…

I don't think it's too bad a list: though I disagree with things, it's mostly a matter of emphasis (and how dismissive his writing tends to be).

The 1,000 ships out of nowhere, complete with people to crew them, built in the ass end of nowhere, now lay a night ambush at sea. Bah. it was pretty, at least, and refreshing to see that Theon doesn't just overcome his trauma with relative ease, as I thought might happen.

Did they ever do anything worthwhile with Klaus? I don't mean give him an episode or two or fill in his backstory a bit, but actually give him a reason to exist on the show. Back when I watched this, the answer was clearly "no", with Roger having all of Klaus' wacky background and whatnot but being infinitely more…

That's stupid. Everyone knows sound is louder in space, because there's no air to get in the way.

Yeah, this is a favourite tool of mainstream critics who hate sci-fi, a cheap bit of slight of hand that fools no one except the people who want to be fooled because nothing must challenge their arbitrarily-imposed genre boundaries. "You see, it may be a future dystopia filled with clones and genetic engineering, but…

I have a hard time crediting it too, but I've definitely encountered it once or twice. At the same time, it's always seemed a ludicrous argument to me: we're talking about a woman who risked a hideous death solely to go back for her goddamn cat, and you're questioning her overwhelming attachment/devotion to small…

"the tribe that stuck with them after No Code has remained loyal in the 20 years since"

Oh yeah, it's going to be impossible not to cover Singles. Now that you mention it, I'm shocked it wasn't the first entry. Talk about iconic.

A fun read. I look forward to seeing the Lost Highway soundtrack covered.

That's a characterization that's increasingly come up amongst hand-wringers in the past five years or so. Yes, he was racist: anyone pretending otherwise is in denial. No, this isn't the least bit new or interesting. Tons of people were racist then: it was the goddamn 20s and 30s. Hitler was coming to power. …

My favourite part is where they just put on the record of Pink Floyd's Echoes and used the spacey parts for sound effects.
