I double-checked that and still got it wrong.

You make a compelling argument for a sense of humor and irony.

Now that pop culture has turned on Billy Joel, can we reappraise Phil Collins and decide that he was kind of OK? Not everyone has to be Peter Gabriel post-Genesis.

KROQ also plays a lot of Social Distortion, who most of the country have to strain to remember. For all that KROQ would like to be a national trendsetter, in a lot of ways, they’re a very regional station playing to a very regional fanbase.

(As opposed to KCRW, where what you hear on Morning Becomes Eclectic shows up…

Rolling Stone in the 1980s had P.J. O’Rourke back when that was a good get.

I love me some Darkest Dungeon, but every time I get distracted, I come back to a group of characters that I can’t quite remember what I’m doing — who’s resting where now, and for how long, and what are my key team compositions? — that I effectively have to start over every time.

Fantastic atmosphere, though. I could…

I blame Carol Burnette.

As spelled out in the article, Bradley was someone fully immersed in the multicultural nature of Long Beach. It comes off as pretty sincere to me, then and now.

Their infamous review of the Black Kids album is also a contender, for that matter.

Marty seems to know his stuff, including the LBC music scene. I have to imagine he knows the lyrics, so I’m wondering what his reasoning is.

Not mentioned in the article, but impactful for me, when I was living on the East Coast: Brad didn’t translate the Spanish lyrics in his songs. He just wrote “learn Spanish” in the liner notes.

(“Oh, huh. I guess that’s a good point,” I remember thinking, sitting in my car, listening to the cassette for the first…

Those schools provide a valuable service in helping lift people into the middle class.

I’m not sure what class we’d put Team Aunt Becky in, other than one I’d rather not be in.

As Rytlewski writes in his 40 Oz. review, the corny stoner bros—or at least the culture these archetypal bros are standing in for—are the ones who shout cheerfully along to the chorus of “Date Rape” and, as he puts it, are “guffawing at a joke you find appalling.” Like “Date Rape” itself, this is horrific.

Pitchfork randomly shitting on an album 27 years later is peak Pitchfork.

“She didn’t get into any other California schools.”

I write for a living, and 9,400 words a stupidly long time to write a profile piece.

Unless, that is, around word 2,000, it switches to how Beto dozes off at the wheel a moment, hits and kills a hitchhiker, and the rest of the piece is about him burying the body in the middle of nowhere and his growing guilty gnawing…

Many buildings in the DC metro area are far older than the ADA. I can’t imagine any buildings in Old Town Alexandria, to name one example of an area a Post food critic would go to regularly, would be.

I’m confident there’s lots of places in the area that aren’t ADA compliant, and the Post should definitely be calling…

He’s certainly done a lot to devalue “brain surgeon” as short hand for “really, really smart.”

I’m confused about the Canadians with strong opinions about this issue on Reddit.

Are we going to get poutine hot takes from Mexico next?

Uh, they’re stealing the North’s jobs, obviously. Also, something something terrorists.
