Too bad he didn't release it on April 44th.

Smooth Operator.

Between the quality hi-def video quality and the quality hi-def beard scruff, something feels wrong about this. But I still laugh!

On the subject of Okkervil River: I've never been big fan of theirs necessarily, but as an outsider, I can say I think 'Away' is a fantastic album.

But somehow their dad looks EXACTLY like how I picture him.

Right? Everyone knows Travis looks like a guy my ex girlfriend's friend used to date, Justin looks like a guy that went to my high school and wore transition lenses and was a year ahead of me but I don't know his name, and Griffin switches between looking like this little mousey guy I had some college classes with and

I like their podcast, but those three people in the video aren't the three people I usually see when I listen to their podcast. This is fake TV.

Amazing that I laugh more just reading the description of an IASIP episode I've never seen than I do at most actual sitcoms.

Inside.

They can and are.

That's where the juice runs clearest.

I think the Hollywood Handbook episode #149 "Just Sean And Hayes", from August 30th, was the best podcast episode of this year, and on my short list of greatest single podcast episodes ever. Just perfection from front to back, highlighted by the Far Side scenario described in the middle.

I don't remember Twenty Good Years ever existing, but my god a sitcom starring John Lithgow and Jeffrey Tambor sounds amazing. Maybe just 10 years too early; if they could remake it today "Horace and Pete" style, I'll totally buy in.

I'd never heard of this before (obviously), but I'm 10 minutes in to a random season 2 episode and it's one of the best things I've seen in a long time. There's an entire emotional plot point about the fact that the restaurant brought him cabbage as an appetizer but he doesn't want to fill up too much before the meat

It wasn't this album for me, but Times of Grace was playing in a comic book store around 2000/01 when I first heard it. It was one of the only times I've ever heard music in a store and had to immediately drop what I was doing and ask the guy at the register what it was. I was totally floored.

No Code is by far my favorite PJ album and it drives me crazy when people are mean to it.

Had we known yet that Stone's son is named Gooden? So perfect.

Satire of satire? For a gutless monogenre pop song completely devoid of satire?

Funny how nearly everybody chooses a different "career high" for Deerhoof, and is so confident about their choice. To me Offend Maggie is the obvious career high! Runners Four just feels like Deerhoof filler to me. It's good, but not nearly as great as Maggie (or Milk Man or Friend Opportunity).

This whole thing is a complete racket. That a company gets to settle a multi-million dollar class action suit by essentially giving away their own trash is crazy to me. Really they'll come out ahead, simply by making profits on all the food and beverage sales at the shows that the "lucky" few are able to go to.
