Baker nailed it - as she always does, really, so it’s no surprise. Incredibly excited for Manchester Orchestra’s too, the best band in the business

was “abysmal” a description of As Above, So Below’s quality, or the literal content of the movie? because I can think of nothing in the film that warrants the former

ok, if we’re narrowing the field to just Noel’s last one that changes thing, it was a bit of a throwaway psychedelic thing and not really what he does best. having said that, the bonus track “Dead in the Water” is still better for me than, uh, 99% of anything Liam has written, so I’m not sure I can give it to him even…

god no he hasn’t. Liam has written maybe one decent song in his entire career, and Noel’s first solo album is still very very good

he’s fantastic casting for sure. I’m a little bummed they blew McConaughey on the shitty film, because I think he would have been terrific as a long-running Man In Black over the course of a show, but having a fresh face as Flagg could be very interesting too

my pick for Kevin Abstract would surely be “Baby Boy”, one of his most pride-positive songs and also just an unbelievably beautiful jam

agreed “Do You Love Her Now” is the better one but it’s a fire single. also if I recall right they’re not technically ‘new’ as the article suggests, just leftovers from the album’s recording sessions that he polished up for single release, but god do they sound fresh

I’d hazard a guess that Pace doesn’t get singled out because all four of the leads give some of the best performances on TV. I mean, McNairy might be my favourite purely for his last few scenes in s4, which is some of the most powerful TV I’ve ever seen. Bishe and Davis sell some of the best arcs on TV and never feel…

Lee Pace gave an all-time performance in that show, even when he was basically a caricature for the first season

this may be the first time I’ve seen a Watchmen quote immediately countered with an Arrested Development quote, I sure hope it’s not the last

it’s clearly Adam’s Song, but College and Gary are probably my 2 and 3, so it’s good to see some love for them

I’m really glad “Be Right Back” got its due here - always thought it was subtler and far more powerful than “San Junipero”, let alone the entire rest of the series (of which “Metalhead” and “White Christmas” are probably my favourites)

No Kim, no Deal*

T SAYS HE WAS AN INTERIOR DECORATOR

I’d love to see del Toro’s take on the last two books, for sure

well at least we all agree “Perfect Situation” is a fucking jam

oh, yeah I’d only want the Coens to take The Gunslinger, maybe Drawing of the Three at a pinch. I guess changing directors mid-series isn’t the best idea, but there’s no one director who can handle all the genre and tonal changes across the seven books, imo. having it as a TV series is probably the best idea

I just want the Coens to direct a Gunslinger movie before I die

one whole (dreadful) album, an equally dreadful EP that came not long after it, and the first single to this new album which seems to promise pretty much the same. I think my statement was fair

Fairweather Friends is an absolute barn burner, on one of the best rock albums of this decade if not the best
