Jon Hopkins, Nils Frahm, Rival Consoles—all good. I have less love for the Oneohtrix Point Never crossover that no one asked for.

I was already boycotting Dunkin Donuts because their food no es bueno

Did he actually say the words “band,” “music,” or “Kinks”? Because that writeup sounds like he just wants to get a drink with some old friends and talk about the Stones.

Crap, I didn’t realize I was wasting my time with one of those “You’ve completely proven my point!” people. See, I was kinda sorta taking issue with the fact that the Court’s decision today was passed in bad faith and has far greater implications than the visa waiver, I mean either one of us could go talk to someone…

133 years too late

Bolding words and linking to old web pages does not change anything 

Pissed to Kill

Those were visa application changes, not a travel ban. And it passed unanimously in the House because it was not a Presidential directive.

Yeah, I don’t get that “neutral on its face” thing. I’m not a lawyer but how does he figure that this Presidential directive, or really any Presidential directive, is neutral on its face? I don’t get it.

“But considering all the work Bell does to keep his audiences entertained and informed, why would his kids be any different?”

Excuse me, I think you mean the Regency Period’s monster

Good points all. But when there’s not a through line—or there are so many red herrings and cheap narrative tricks that together amount to a breach of trust between show and audience (it was realizing that the Man in Black was Billy 30 years on that killed this show for me)—then to Hell with performance, design,…

Sonic Youth is the only thing I like on this list. Also, anyone spinning records in 1986 would be snickered at.

This is why I didn’t bother with this season, and recaps and comments like this tell me I made the right decision.

Stupid lobsters. Everyone knows that when you’re dealing with the devil you have to say “eternal youth,” not “immortality”.

I think you might have a brain cloud

Best of luck! I’ve tried with Sparks a few times, and it’s always sounded like Zappa’s tour bus crashed into the Moulin Rouge. Some things you just have to say, “Not for me.”

This has nothing to do with anything, but last week’s Canada episode made me wonder how difficult it is to convincingly play an extra at a protest. Once I started paying attention to all the half-hearted fist shaking and “Yeah! Not fair!” I couldn’t stop. Maybe it’s really difficult to play Angry Mob Participant #4?

I thought it was an OK idea—taking the world that could only be alluded to in the documentary and giving it some life. But Zemeckis tends to CGI/motion capture everything to within an inch of its life. And yes, he’s schmaltzy, in a way that often undercuts whatever insights he’s trying to offer. (ie. Jodie Foster tra…
