Yeah it's nice to wake up with a hangover and have the review ready to go. Helps me decide if I want to watch it here in bed or just read my Paul Auster book and go back to sleep.
Probably a bit specific and unnecessary comment here. I'm really hung over.

All those sad break-up songs are about Sheila Larson.

If just reading an interview with him makes you feel icky, get ready to need a full day spa treatment to recover from his WTF podcast interview.
I have no stake in this Soul Coughing fight, but that interview and this guy's overall vibe carved out its own special hate niche in my brain.
Also- his AV Club unplugged…

I really like their second one- Surrender to the Night, which is like a Knight Rider/80s sounding electronic record. Future World is pretty great also.

Can we get a Trans Am / Tortoise / Sea and Cake mega tour? Better yet can this just be the 1990s again?

Yeah, they did this same treatment to a whole season of Fargo, and generally dissed the hell out of it. And that's a great fucking show! (the individual reviews have been really positive for whatever reason…) It seems the season-long reviews just give the reviewer a chance to whine about overall issues they have…

That monologue's timeless message about personal hygiene can benefit people of all races.

W. Kamau Bell pretty much nailed this one. When I saw the routine the first thing I thought was "wow this is the most Def Comedy Jam-like thing I've ever seen on SNL" And if it had been Def Comedy Jam this whole conversation wouldn't be occurring.

In high school my friends and I all drank Pepsi religiously, but only because of Suicidal Tendencies and the song "Institutionalized", which I'm sure made Pepsi untold millions in the punk community.
Mike Muir should have been cut a check - one of the greatest product placements ever.

Also love "Need to Know" with Frances McDormand, where people keep passing around the secret of life and it drives everyone crazy.

Yeah this reminds me a lot of Wayne Coyne shenanigans like the Parking Lot Experiment which I was lucky enough to have my car in back in 1996 (sighs and realizes that was almost 20 years ago). Like this, it was about 50/50 combo of genuinely interesting music and pure theatrical stunt.

I think you nailed it there.
To just flat out label Jaylib as a dud makes me really not trust anything else this kid has to say.

Watched a couple of first season episodes on Netflix, and Jesus Christ can't believe how bad it is. Makes SVU look like freakin True Detective.

I feel like they didn't cop out though on that. The killer talked about how he was close to "ascension" and then he clearly had a magic portal of some sort beginning to open in the Yellow King chamber.

This episode was awesome. I think having to review things each week makes one have to look for faults that aren't there- like writing a book report in school ruins the book.

As a PNW'er, I'll also report that freeway merges are a scene of fear, doubt, and self-loathing.

I started with the Gems, with the Marky Ramone calls. Those are a great entry point, and if you like that, start dipping further into the Gems and all the crazy original Newbridge characters.

After Innocent When You Dream he played Gimme Gimme Gimme by Black Flag as the real send off.
Although I am a Waits fan, I do remember that when Innocent When You Dream was looped over and over at the end of the movie Smoke it was a little painful to sit through.

Yeah the Ron White set in the Blue Collar film is really worth watching. In cadence and timing he actually reminds me a lot of Bill Hicks, I mean he obviously doesn't talk about Satan's cock or anything but there are a lot of mannerisms that are almost identical.

Hello, 911? I'm in a boxing ring right now and there's a guy in the other corner who looks really threatening! What?- just stay in my corner?
