I'm swell, thank you for asking.

That alt/emo revival has been going on for fucking years at this point. Way to be ahead of the curve again, Steve Hyden.

Oh my god, go fuck yourself.

For a while it seemed like it was going to transition into either a full-on glam-sounding thing, or a more rootsy/earnest folk-sounding thing. O'Neal shortchanges the shit out of women in rock (Morissette's first album outsold the vast majority of every other band mentioned here, ditto Jewel's), but they were the ones…

The first paragraph in this comment is absolutely 100% spot-on how I remember it.

There's a band called Bleached now? Jesus, how shameless can these Nirvana wannabes get?

Sean O'Neal is a lot more clever and more concise of a writer than Steve Hyden, though.

"E-Bow The Letter" as lead-off single makes ZERO-ass sense. Great song, never could've been a hit.

As Good As Dead is a minor classic and comes off more like a power pop take on hardcore punk than any kind of grunge.

Refreshments ain't shit but the King Of The Hill theme song.

A stapler!

Yes, this is their version of Mad Men's "The Suitcase", I get it. The problem is, BoJack and Princess Carolyn are not this show's Don and Peggy, BoJack and Diane ARE this show's D & P. I hope next time they go back and fix this mistake.

I can't tell what the fuck is going on anymore. One minute I hear The Struts (throwback glam), next it's Vance Joy or Declan McKenna (bad folk pop), then Bastille (keyboard indie) then every ten seconds it's that goddamn Twenty-One Pilots song (pop-punkish reggae rap). All within the hour, on the same station. None of…

This was the year that I got into music as anything other than a tool of conformity. This writeup is pretty comprehensive. I was a young punk of 13, and I can't even begin to convey to you how irrelevant mainstream rock music was during this period. That's why I gravitated towards it. I listened to so much of this…

Midnight Special would've been a much tighter, more coherent movie if they just excised the entire doomsday cult angle altogether and pared it down to its basics: family on the run, government in pursuit. It didn't need to be any more cluttered than that. It DID need more Adam Driver with the kid (best scene in the…

This is why an all-female Ghostbusters is important: I saw the swagger and the goofy charisma of Kate Mckinnon's character and thought "Damn, I wish I was as cool as her." Then I realized that I have NEVER felt that way watching a prominent woman's role in a movie before, outside of certain iconic action heroines.…

Bridge Of Spies — The absolute corniest possible treatment of this material, and probably the most unhip Best Picture nominee in years. Just leans so, so hard on Tom Hanks' Everyman charm to carry the story, which is maybe all it needs. Mark Rylance wins bonus points for getting the supporting actor Oscar with the…

CUT MY LIFE INTO FRACTIONS
THIS IS MY 7/8TH-9/10THS RESORT

Just make sure it's really a smoke bomb and not a plum.
