Not just any kind of pasta, but acini de pepe which is basically little pasta balls, hence “frog eye salad”.

We weren’t religious (lapsed Catholics) but my grandparents lived in Utah for a while and grandma picked up both Jello Salad and a related dish, which I only learned as an adult is a Mormon thing, frog eye salad. It’s basically marshmallows, pineapple, oranges, and for some reason pasta, all in whipped cream. It’s…

I'm trying to imagine the creative process that goes into producing a comedy album, beyond "set up microphone, tell person to talk into it".

That's a lot of Andrew Dice Clay.

My friend lost his wife suddenly to cancer and was completely overcome by grief, then met someone new and remarried a couple years later. He still posts on Facebook about his late wife all the time and his current wife is very respectful of the feelings he had and still has for her. I think in a situation like this,…

Project Pabst *is* Musicfest NW. And I'm pissed that Father John Misty isn't playing a proper Portland show, or at least couldn't be arsed to play MFNW/PP the same day as Beck so I don't have to buy tickets for both days.

New York, New York is on "Gold", which is an excellent album worthy of listening. His best in my humble opinion is "Cold Roses" by a wide margin. But if you're into depressing stark folk, his solo debut "Heartbreaker" is many people's favorite.

FFS, people have been making this dumb joke for 20 years and it hasn't gotten funnier with time.

The best karaoke experience I ever had was when a place had "Christmas Card from a Hooker in Minneapolis" and you better believe I sang it.

That's absurd. Do "Learn this. Libel me, I’ll sue you. If you die, I’ll follow you to the bowels of Hell. Get it?” sound like the words of a cocaine user to you??

Yeah, Gudger College should be one suite in a strip mall, maybe below Hollywood Upstairs Medical College.

This is so wild. Gary is my good friend's cousin. I remember him telling the story of how his cousin was going to Pakistan with a sword to find Bin Laden, and then years later I'm on AV Club and see an article about how Nic Cage is playing this guy named Gary Faulkner who went to Pakistan to… wait, Faulkner?!
