Let's face it: The Oscars' primary target audience (like the nominees themselves) is mainly liberal and Democrat anyhow. Other than to mouth off at Hollywood celebs for dissenting, Trump and his "Chumps" could care less about these films or their cast and crew anyhow.
I doubt any of them would bother to see LaLaLand,…

Excellent song by The Sadies (who continue to gracefully evolve), but why NO mention at all of Feb. releases by The Bats and Chuck Prophet (whose enduring high quality easily trumps the majority of what's listed here)?

Mark my words: Be ready for Conway and the rest of his White House staff to have big-time nervous breakdowns in the near future. They just won't be able to keep all the lies straight in their not-so-yuge brains after a while.

Farhadi's success is absolutely no fluke. I have now seen his five most recent movies ("A Separation" being three films ago), and the same superlatives apply to each and every one. Honestly, take your pick!

You mean Beck's recent "The Information" sounds like the 45 year-old "Halleluwah," right?

Yeah, it is rather confusing. Technically, they never had a German singer. There was Damo Suzuki (the Japanese) and Malcolm Mooney (the black American dude whose fame was eclipsed by Damo). On some releases, neither was present and the core members made do with minimal vocals they themselves provided. The three…

You're almost 100% right. I'd take their solid output back just one album further to include "In a Priest-Driven Ambulance." Another strange thing I recall hearing about them (I think from the early 90s) is a one-off live show simultaneously performed on multiple levels of an emptied-out parking garage. No judgment…

This would've been so much more amusing and informative if it had traced the roots of such gimmickry beyond just the past 15-20 years. I clearly recall vinyl releases from the 70s/80s, if not even earlier, that used tricks such as a never-ending final song on an album (unless one physically removed the stylus), the…

So many potentially better albums not even mentioned, such as upcoming ones by The Feelies, Chuck Prophet, The Bats, Slowdive, and so on and so forth.

The four teams with this weekend off really are the best four teams in football right now. The only two wild card teams to keep an eye out for beyond this weekend are Pittsburgh and Green Bay. Sorry Seahawks + the rest. By the way, what a long lame article this was.

Get off the internet and interact with people face-to-face for a change!

Somehow I feel like slapping someone today.

… and doesn't West have a "Shit, I belong back in that hospital I was just let out of" look on his face?

Can't wait to find out (and howl with laughter at) what cabinet position the Orange Troll will concoct for his lil' new black amigo.
P.S. The look on both Donny and Ivanka's faces in that first pic is priceless!

While I'm 100% with you on despising both these douchebags, you really should "cease and desist" with your hate-filled rants. Why are you stooping to their same low level? Think about what YOU can do to help the situation in a civilized manner … or are you going to bash me too? (P.S. What's with your Nazi-looking…

Here, finally, is the album of the year!

Actually, let's wait until hell freezes over.

Pardon me, but this song was written by Gerard Love, NOT Norman Blake.

Technically, Bandwagonesque is their 2nd (not 3rd) album, depending on how you look at it. The first album was A Catholic Education (1990). They then recorded Bandwagonesque (1991). AFTER the Bandwagonesque sessions were completed, they used leftover scraps, unused songs, and time left in the studio to quickly cut…

What a great cover for his book … perfectly captures his persona and spirit.
As for the comment further above giving Guy Fieri the edge over Bourdain?
That's just baloney (pardon the pun)!
