He’s an ugly little spud, isn’t he?

In whose book was Burton the “favorite” or the “frontrunner”? Not the AV Club’s, which had rankings and did not rank Burton anywhere near the front.

Mumford and Sons needs to apologize for making me assume the other members were legally Mumford’s Children

Eh, they’re no McCluskey.

Have you heard about Ok Christ? The Irish Christian Radiohead tribute?

I never seen him fold shit. Just fucking around with the piano all day.

DAMN but Phil Collen got jacked. Also I’m still trying to find a reasonably priced version of his custom Ibanez Destroyer from the Pyromania era.
