I'm not a Slipknot fan, but I definitely wouldn't lump them in with Korn. Slipknot at least come off as authentic. Korn is up there with Limp Bizkit in the pantheon of overly-angsty '90s fake metal bands.

Unless you're referring to your original comment — which boils down to "either you drink Budweiser or you're pretentious" — I fail to see how.

HEYOOOOOOOO!

Yo, hoss: shitty beer is shitty beer. And I don't want to drink it. That doesn't make me pretentious. It's the same reason I make pasta and sauce at home instead of buying Chef Boyardee.

Turns out "The Seeker" is like the one part of American Beauty that still holds up all these years later, hahaha!

Sam Bush & Tony Rice, "Molly & Tenbrooks (live, 1995)"
Crooklyn Dodgers, "Return of the Crooklyn Dodgers '95" (maybe DJ Premier's best beat, and that's saying something)
Charlie Hustle & the Pickers, "Streetlight Mama"
Stelios Katzantidis, "Efuge Efuge"
Jay-Z, "Can't Knock the Hustle"
J-Live, "Skip Proof"
Raices Habaneras,…

"Dear Miss Hoover, you have Lyme disease. We miss you. Kevin is biting me. Come back soon. Here's a drawing of a spirochete. Love, Ralph"

Padip-padee, padish-kadoo!

A few off-the-beaten-path things I've enjoyed recently:
- Car Bomb, a documentary by former CIA agent Bob Baer about the story behind one of history's most effective weapons.
- No Escape starring Ray Liotta. Gotta credit AVClub here: they mentioned it in their look back at Speed and I forgot what a satisfying slice of…

Just finished The Young Pope. Still not 100% sure how I felt about it. The wife thought it was great and campy in all the right ways, and of course she now goes around the house constantly saying "Holly Futter" in a hilarious imitation of the show's Italian accents.

Testes… testes… 1… 2… 3??? (uh-oh)

Lars Ulrich discussing the topic of relevance is almost too hilarious.

Possibly "the bishop in a game of Sexy Chess."

Usually you get some lyrical cues as to what gender is singing the song, though. With holiday tunes, it's tough!

We had this game down to a science at one point, with nicknamed shortcuts for two- and three-degree moves like "The Pulp Fiction Route" (which incidentally goes 'Pulp Fiction > Bruce Willis > 12 Monkeys > Brad Pitt > Sleepers > Kevin Bacon')

Agreed. I didn't think I was going to be into "gun-fu," but I was damn sure wrong.

"Surviving The Game was a nasty and deeply watchable B-movie that could’ve made a movie star out of Ice-T if Jean-Claude Van Damme hadn’t appeared the previous year in Hard Target, a better movie with, more or less, the exact same plot."

So far I've mainly used it for making beats, and I haven't run up against the 2GB wall yet.

I loved it for its deep-cutting sociopolitical commentary as much as its absurdity. Riley's "My president is black and my Lambo is blue" speech from "The Fundraiser" episode, where he puts all of England on blast, is also among the show's greatest moments.

I think there were ONLY three seasons, right? The first two that McGruder was involved with and then the "zombie" third season…?
