Harpsichord does suck. People for most of the 20th century knew this which is why they arranged those baroque compositions for piano, a much better instrument. But ever since the whole "early music" nonsense of the 90s, it's been de rigeur to use the inferior instruments that were in use in the 17th century (and

"Kind of awful" "vaguely racist". What is this mealy mouthed shit? If you're going to call someone racist, at least have the guts to say it directly without all these meaningless adverbs.

"Cretinous, snaggletoothed hillbillies" sounds pretty close to the way AVclub writers usually think about rural proles, but I'm guessing when they do it it's cute.

The mashup there is legitimately great. I dont know the original song or video but now I want to see Taylor Swift take on Carcosa.

It was cool to see Mike, even though I knew it would see him (the trailer gave it away even if I wasn't already expecting it), but I have to admit I let out a little squeal of delight upon seeing Tuco.

So a guy who plays, what, a dozen different instruments is less artistic than a glorified stripper whose songs are written by committee?

Tragedy. A 36 year old man with a roommate.

My first favorite band was the Monkees. And no, I wasn't alive in the 60s, this was based on seeing the reruns on tv in the 80s.

I love lamp

Sam and Pilar in Lone Star. Of course they don't know they are related at first.

No it's just a polite way of saying "no evidence"

Potato Salad is more worthwile than a lot of what is being funded on kickstarter

I prefer sea salt but I'm not the chef here.

Tim Watley was there on a few episodes. Not sure if he counts as a significant other, but he did try to turn an upstairs invite into a Super Bowl sex romp.

The story of Babu was already a searing indictment of the US immigration system.

They had another date rape reference, actually: when jerry's dating the masseuse who won't give him a massage, he goes nuts and tries to physically force her hands onto his shoulders before she pulls away and storms off. Not as creepy as the one with the toy collection.
