Nope they don't have to be beef - lamb burgers are the best burgers.

I remember I fell for the music press narrative post-SNL where she was deemed a fraud and a hack who couldn't perform, then I was out somewhere and 'Video Games' came on the radio and I realised it was a legitimately great song.

She fell victim to the authenticity police for, shock horror, having created a persona that she performed as.

What happened?

Elvis Costello may or may not have once said that writing about music is like dancing about architecture…

When they get it right it can be amazing (like Kanye's performance of 'Power', which ,admittedly, was more due the stage set-up than the sound) but more often than not it ends up sounding weird and thin.

Ugh, so many music reviews that decide to review the artist's authenticity or appearance instead of actually evaluating the music.

Hey, Okkervil River! That's pretty cool, The Silver Gymnasium was brilliant.

'The Female Man' by Joanna Russ and 'Les Guerilleures' by Monique Wittig are a couple of more experimental texts that deal in matriarchal utopianism.

Not having read the comic it's just an okay action-adventure with public-domain characters. I'm not going to necessarily defend it, because it's been a while since I saw it so it could be worse than I remember, but it's not an atrocity by any means.

Like Penny Dreadful, which has done pretty darn well with that premise.

Oh yeah, and they give her a plausible reason (it's not necessarily a problem with aliens per se, just that her family is unfairly blamed for humanity's biggest defeat against the aliens).

Kaiden's romance in ME1 is kinda annoying - right up until you sleep with him (and even after) he's constantly whining about it not being a good idea. My Shepard was one step off saying 'Sod this' and going to Liara's cabin…

Ashley is a massive space racist but she actually has a character arc as opposed to Kaiden who even manages to make his tragic backstory seem bland.

That was my favourite game when I was younger. I never had a GTA game but I played Hit and Run all the time.

"How did it happen?"
"…acid?"

I'm not an Amis fan, but the parts when Amis appears in the novel as a pretentious mess who's constantly trying the philosophise Self are pretty hilarious.

[Throws critic off the balcony] "Now that's an ending that is flat and inane beyond belief!"

'How did you get back here before us?'
'Um… How did we Kronk?'
[Kronk pulls down a chart showing that he and Yzma fell down a hole]
'Well ya got me, by all accounts it doesn't make sense.'

Well, yeah. Obviously. An album cover ifs often a glimpse of where an artist is at that time so of course they will show the progression of their career. It's not really ground-breaking. Just another excuse to claim the Beatles invented something.
