Yeezus at least had ‘On Sight’ and ‘Send It Up’ – it’s a huge step down in quality from MBDTF but not without its occasional charms. Pablo, on the other hand... Well, you said it.

I’m not being needlessly contrarian, I’m pointing out that most of West’s music has been mediocre at best.

If you think that I was being hyperbolic then I’ll concede that Yeezus and maybe 808s and Heartbreak are ok.

Nope, I do not.

Seeing as he’s only ever done that once before, seems unlikely...

I have to admit that Baby Driver did kind of win me back a bit, after I’d become sick to death to recycled Spaced jokes and tropes in the cornetto trilogy. If this list had to include a moment from Wright’s own work I’d suggest his use of Blur’s ‘Intermission’ in Baby Driver, with (many) bonus points for that scene

Umm, ‘Orinoco Flow’ in Fincher’s Girl with the Dragon Tattoo? Nice try anyway, Edgar.

On a more serious note, ‘In Motion’ by Trent Reznor and Atticus Ross is probably the high point of The Social Network, which is imho pretty great (both in terms of music and film) throughout.

Oh god, I’d forgotten about Double-AB. Yeah, he was carrying more than his share of the Bristol show, too.

Now playing

2014 was the breakup annus horribilis for me, and my most played album of that year was... well, actually it was Mess by Liars, because it’s fucking brilliant. But a close second is David Comes to Life by Fucked Up. The album’s concept is apparently more complex than simply ‘breakup’ (there’s an insane section on the

Fair enough, I’ve not actually heard it but might give it a try – the songs didn’t grab me when I heard them live, but that’s not always the best test.

I saw them tour for their latest, El-P-less album. I am sorry to report that they sucked. (Although, according to Vordul Mega at one point, it was actually we the audience who sucked, maybe he’s right, idk.)

Taking the patient out of the bath and into warm water... Get in the water and touch the electric wires... Here, hold this! Here’s some bread!

Or Eugene Levy.

I don’t see Vedder in that video (at least not the minute that I watched) – I suspect that the author got his Pearl Jam members confused.

I think Ruffalo’s got several more films before his contract’s up, so it’ll be post-Avengers 4 that he exits, I believe.

The fact that Banner goes in the Hulkbuster isn’t really at all surprising, given the first shot of him in the trailer.

AVClub: Trump’s ass is also cursed.

Xanderpuss: ...can I go now?

ahhh, shit, yeah. I think I may have been nostalgically overlooking that aspect of SE1EP2 – you’re totally right about the awful Chinese stereotypes, although I’d maintain that that aside (not saying that we should overlook them, of course) it’s a better-written episode in terms of mystery plot than (almost) anything

I suspect that that was a more a result of Martin Freeman and Amanda Abbington breaking up in real life than of Gatiss and Moffat thinking that the narrative arc of season four was a really good idea. Because, of course, it wasn’t; it was absolutely terrible.

nah mate, it’s arse. (As in, it’s the preferred UK equivalent of ‘ass’. ‘Ass’ is a perfectly great word, and I’m not the type of British ass/arsehole who tries to ‘correct’ US English to UK English.)

As someone who saw them a few times, is familiar with several of their albums (which is obviously a tiny fraction of the oeuvre), but is by no means a superfan enough to have a Fall-based Kinja handle – how did he live? I mean, I know as well as anyone that he was a notorious asshole, but... did copious drink and
