The Weather Station’s 2021 album made a ton of critics’ year-end top ten. Check it out!

Great list—a better list than the albums list imo, for having more variety, and feeling a lot less cookie cutter.

I think you’ll find there’s very good reason why Rhye isn’t showing up on any year end lists…

I know it’s not that kind of publication but I genuinely don’t understand how you have 11 critics put lists together and there’s not a single metal album here.

Saw someone on Twitter point out that they’ve already done the Dog Head Guy sketch before, which makes it a recurring sketch, but also kind of ruins it for me because instead of being just an enjoyable absurd premise, it’s now an absurd premise that they returned to for easy laughs.

Petition to change this site’s tagline to “Pop culture obsessives writing for people who like very specific movies and tv shows”

Travis Scott has been arrested multiple times, and plead guilty multiple times, for reckless endangerment related to encouraging people at his concerts to bum rush the stage. 

Except I was watching SNL live, and didn’t have any warning that there was about to be heavy spoilers for a weeks old TV show

This was annoying to me, because we’re seven episodes in and it felt like it spoiled the end for me, but also it wasn’t really funny beyond “hey we’re referencing a thing”

This is still a thing—the unfortunately named Ritt Momney has a recent hit cover of “Put Your Records On”

Just want to take this opportunity to shout out Jason Alexander’s turn as “himself” on Big Time in Hollywood, FL, a fantastic show that was unjustly canceled after one season

How is there no mention of Lupe Fiasco performing The Cool? What a fantastic homecoming show (and easily the best full album play I saw, after Fishbone sounded extremely muddy and poorly mixed even though the performance was goo)

I think top to bottom this was way more punk focused than some previous years. After more branching out previous years, this felt really back-to-basics with a lot of safe, repeat acts. And not in a bad way! I had a ton of fun

As a Weezer diehard who will at least give a few spins to every new Weezer record (and for some, many more than a few spins), I appreciated this article.

I’d be curious how the author would rank albums, because by my judgement they ranked a good deal of Pacific Daydream, for my money far and away their worst album,

It was in the low-to-mid 70s all weekend

As a frequent music festival attendee I have to defend this. 20,000 people (allegedly) partied for 5 days and there were a few violent incidents between drunks. To me all these headlines sound like the local authorities trying to make it harder for these events to happen.

No mention of the Facebook logo turning into Russian letters in the intro? Is that not new this season?

This is a really well designed level, but man, is it just me or are those twisters real wonky feeling? It seems like they have a straight up hit box even though the sprite for them is a cone

I’m gonna just pretend I intended for them to be grappling hooks, because that’s a great idea

Let’s see your Mario Maker 2 levels, AV Club! I’ve made three so far, all of which have turned out to be pretty challenging, though I’d argue still fair, due to reasonable checkpoints and/or power up placement.
