Very American-centric. When I think of 98, first album that comes to mind is Try Whistling This (Neil Finn). Still a favorite.

Easybeats — "Friday On My Mind". I still love this song to bits.

I saw the Stones in '65 in a midsized softball stadium in Florida. Supposedly they wrote 'Satisfaction' after that concert, which always made sense to me given the banality of life in that area even back then. Saw Talking Heads in the Stop Making Sense tour, and it was as fully awesome as you can possibly imagine. I…

When you have to wait until your minders have gone to bed and you're old, fat and tired and you pass out while tweeting and your nose mashes the keypad. Normal!

And he works for the grifter who keeps on grifting.

So you're the apparatchik they assigned to refute Trump-unfriendly comments in AV Club, eh? Good luck.

Not me. I avoid United entirely. I'll pay more to somebody else.

Of the big 3 domestic US air carriers, United won the race to the bottom a while back. I haven't flown them since a series of mess ups, the final straw being food poisoning on an international flight after they'd fucked up my seat assignment from a window to a middle of the middle, a seat assignment I'd made months…

I was under the impression that Jane's and Perry's paths hadn't crossed much at all, and I thought that seeing Perry with that dark Elvis-hair made Jane realize that he was her rapist. She was always looking for a dark-haired guy, like the interior decorator who turned out not to be the one.

I've heard her do an American accent quite well many times. I don't know, of course, but I suspect that the level of emotion required in playing some of those scenes was so extreme that Kidman's native accent slipped out. Very common behavior with humans under stress, actors or not.

Yeah, I got the impression that Kimora fundamentally didn't understand the song. Although both lipsyncs were subpar, I preferred Jaymes' version.

That pic looks like it comes from a bad dating site: "Loves long walks in the woods."

I vote for the middle of the Nullabor Plain. We'd never here from him again.

Sure, if a bee were a fixed-wing aircraft. But since bees move their wings, this stupid trope has been wrong forever and ever.

I strongly suspect the reason for Rove's "certainty" was twofold: being a Fox News guy he believed the inside-the-GOP polling having Romney a little ahead and didn't credit polls that showed otherwise; and, because he thought the election was close, he figured he could ensure the contest went to Romney with a…

I've had decent-to-good food on Japan Air, Qantas (many times), Lufthansa. US domestics — no. I woke up with food poisoning about 6 hours into a United trans-Pacific flight from their chicken dinner. They had also messed up my seat selection, which I had made and confirmed months prior, and stuck me in the middle of…

Guess the RNC hasn't quite figured out how "the cyber" works.

Daniel Day-Lewis, Javier Bardem, Humphrey Bogart.
Meryl Streep, Cate Blanchette, Barbara Stanwyck.
And, yes,Tim Curry — no matter how shitty the movie. he shines.

Well, ipso facto that means you hate yourself and are an enormous failure in real life. Sad!

Oh, I don't know. My father died when I was seven, and it was like Oswalt's experience — a bomb blast in the middle of the family. Changed everything forever, and took us kids decades to come to grips with it. I hope it's better for Alice, but there's no telling.
