Speaking of Andy Daly, I just recently listened to his Nine Sweaters album, and it's really great. My God is his Life of the Party character funny.

You're right, kinda. I do enjoy occasionally watching short YouTube clips of stuff from my childhood, and going, "Oh wow, I remember that!" However, I know people my age who buy complete DVD sets of awful 80s TV cartoons and whatnot for the nostalgia factor. That I don't get.

God, I hated Wild and Crazy Kids. Even as a kid, I thought the idea of watching other people have fun on TV was stupid.

I'm absolutely shocked that no one has mentioned Roundhouse. You know, that horribly ill-conceived variety show that we suffered through to get to the good shows on Snick.

I'm with Jeff. Richard Hell has some great songs, but Blank Generation has always seemed kind of patchy to me. I was surprised to see it ranked so high here, especially considering all the other great albums that came out in '77.

I have 'em all. I just don't ever get the urge to put them on. I'd much rather listen to The Stranglers for the 1000th time.

You know…
The Clash is one of those great bands that I never, ever feel like listening to. I completely respect them and intellectually know that all (but one) of their albums range from pretty good to great, but man, I just never want to listen to them. What gives?

I've had mostly positive encounters with record store clerks. However, I did get mocked once at Coconuts by a couple of metalhead clerks when I bought In the Aeroplane over the Sea.

I remember walking into Coconuts one day and seeing download cards of albums, and I found the concept totally baffling. It would be a little gift card-type thing with the cover of, say, Lady Gaga's new album on it. Presumably, you would buy it at the store, go home, and then download it from iTunes. Why would anyone

Ugh, did anyone ever actually buy those featured selections? It seems like it took around a year for a new release to make its way into BMG's catalog, so anyone who really wanted that album would have more than likely already bought it cheaper at a store. I loved BMG back in the day though. I remember loading up on a

Yep, CDNow was my first online CD store too. Those were the days.

@Warren Oates

Yeah, it's a lamp. However, the R-rated cut of Todd Solondz's Storytelling uses a big orange box to censor a sex scene.

I don't know if he's exactly documentary material…
But Blood Visions is a really, really great album. If you don't like that album, you're stupid.

He used to pop up on Opie & Anthony occasionally, so I remember seeing him on LCS and going, "Oh, so that's what he looks like." His interview on WTF was pretty tragic. The guy lived a hard life.

I don't particularly enjoy having irrational anger toward things, but Zach Braff has a face that just makes me want to splash hot coffee at someone.

What I always find funny is how fast food always gets a terrible reputation, yet no one ever goes after places like Applebee's and Chili's, which serve food that is FAR worse for you.

I have a fairly sensitive stomach, and Taco Bell has never cause me any problems. I don't eat there very often, but it's always nice to know that I can grab two tacos and a bean burrito—a pretty filling meal—really quick for around $3.

At least Chick-Fil-A doesn't ram their political/religious agenda down your throat when you're eating in their restaurants. The Whataburger in my town plays Christian rock and Fox News 24/7.

My go-to sandwich at Wendy's is the grilled chicken. It's tasty and reasonably healthy for fast food. Their fries can be good when they're fresh, but it seems like every time I order them, I get stuck with a soggy, over-salted batch that was cooked an hour ago.
