Yeah, to me it was worth it just to have easy streaming access to all of Kids in the Hall, Alan Partridge, and Monty Python. As far as their exclusive content, I never went any deeper than the first few episodes of Bajillion Dollar Properties.

I pick up a fairly decent variety of channels in the Birmingham area. Comet's back-to-back airings of MST3K on Sunday nights is a delight.

My favorite part of that commercial is the pitchman's inability to pronounce "antenna" correctly.

Absolutely. I always thought it was odd that such a cultured, thoughtful guy was formally linked to O&A of all people.

Having occasionally listened to O&A in the late 2000s while waiting for Ron & Fez to come on, I have to say it's fairly shocking to see how Anthony's insane, racist political ideology has basically become the mainstream Republican party. At the time, it just seemed like crazy basement-dweller talk. Now, it's like a

How many times are you going to post this?

It's the direct jump from celebrity to the highest office in the country that's troubling. If the Rock wants to run for Congress or governor, I'm all for it.

I'm forever thankful that my wife and I were able to pull off an entirely secular wedding with surprisingly zero drama from our families (her's being pretty religious).

Whenever I see guys online like Anthony Fantano who review a dozen or so albums a week, I always wonder how they can possibly spend enough time with the music to really give it a fair assessment. Whenever I try to play catch-up at the end of the year and listen to everything that's supposed to be great, it all just

Actually, In Mind is sounding much better on the second listen. It's possible that having to drag myself to work on Saturday morning didn't provide the best mindset for a fair listen. It sounds much nicer while sipping a beer at home.

Yeah, I like Atlas a lot. I guess it took a hit for being too similar to Days, but I still think it's a really strong set of songs. The new one didn't exactly wow me on the first spin though.

Rush?

I would say True Stories is the weaker than the rest. I think I'm in the minority of thinking Naked is actually a pretty strong album.

I would say Pavement's discography is pretty solid. The last two albums might be a bit controversial, but I stand beside them.

Yeah, that one was a pleasant surprise. It's probably their most diverse album.

I remember all the hype leading up to the Green Album and being disappointed with it from the first spin. It has a handful of catchy songs, but it just sounds so bland and faceless to me. Maladroit at least tried to do something different, but that one was kind of the "Uhhh, I think I'm done with these guys" moment.

Yep, In Rainbows is the one that pulled me back in after a string of good-but-not-so-memorable albums.

I actually really like Trompe Le Monde. I'd easily rank it above Bossanova.

Challengers was a disappointment for me too, and I still haven't been able to get into it. I thought Together was an improvement, and I thought Brill Bruisers was a return to form or sorts. I agree though… Twin Cinema was the peak.

God, I hated Midnight Vultures when it came out. It just sounded like novelty music to me. Weirdly enough, I randomly decided to check it out again a couple of years ago and really liked it. I haven't had much use for anything he's done since. Sea Change is pleasant, but it doesn't knock me out like it seems to most
