Hopefully he'll eventually learn that snow goons are bad news.

He's English, so an intellectual elitist. Obviously.

Book of Leviticus, guys. Guaranteed smash hit.

My god, the shippers were right!

How much can there be with that 20:1 male/female ratio?

See, that's another thing. I prefer keeping music on my own device to streaming it: I get to pick exactly what song I want, I can jump from one song to another quickly, and there's no fucking ads. I don't know if Spotify is the same, but Pandora has got to be the most overrated thing ever. I know radio stations with…

It might bear mentioning that the college was a state school in Missouri. Not to stereotype (on the AV Club? Never!) but maybe a lib arts school or something closer to NY or LA would have had a higher share of snooty dickweeds.

Maybe. I basically don't stream at all and I don't like most mobile versions of websites, but I have a lot of music and like to have it all with me at all times, so what I mostly need is a high-capacity, long-lasting music-centric mp3 player…i.e. the now-departed Classic. I actually had an iPhone for about a year…

Sounds good. I don't really care about OS wars and I'm not super-attached to iTunes as a program, but if I did buy a ponoplayer or some non-Apple thing top priority would be to have my existing library transferred over with minimal fuss.

Well, I guess I'll just get really stoned and listen to "Natural Beauty" over and over again. There are worse fates.

I don't even get the snobby mac user stereotype. I can't recall ever actually meeting anyone who thinks they're superior for using Apple stuff. Personally, I'm perpetually five years behind tech-wise and didn't get a laptop until I left for college in 2009. The school offered a discount if I bought a bunch of Apple…

Really, fuck touchscreens. I feel like I'm living in Bizarro World when people say they're better than buttons or keypads or even scroll wheels. I don't like poking something with my finger like a monkey until it works, and somehow that makes me the regressive Luddite.

Interesting. Is that compatible with Mac in terms of transferring my existing library?

Is that you, Zizek?

Well, I guess I'll try and keep my classic working until they come out with a 128 or 256 GB Touch. Shouldn't be too much longer.

I tried to make it make sense in my mind, but it didn't. Especially because it sent him back a day earlier in time than had been happening all movie, arriving as an officer to meet Brendan Gleeson's character instead of waking up already demoted and shamed. Emily Blunt forgetting that they'd ever met was kind of…

I've never understood anti-synth hardliners, with Rush or any other band. I've always thought synths provided interesting new sonic textures and effects to rock music, but I later learned that they're actually the mark of the corporate-sellout beast and, additionally, the effeminate gay beast. Who knew?

That's my choice too. I guess it's part of the general trend of everything dorky being cool now. It's weird how even people who like prog rock feel the need to get defensive or self-deprecating about it—I'm not criticizing you, I've been there myself.

Big Country are definitely one of my all-time faves. So damn passionate and so beautiful. One of those bands that really transports you to another world.

The first band I really loved was Rush (thanks, Dad), which led to prog and classic rock at large, and that's still pretty much where I am; the modern indie rock descendents of prog and 80's pop, a bit more electronica, pop, and dance music, and a lifting of the personal embargo on music made since Freddy Mercury died.
