Dude, Pam can out-sexy those two in a heartbeat.

The version of "Birdhouse in your Soul" on Severe Tire Damage is also way better than the studio version.

Van Morrison, the version of "Caravan" he performed with The Band on The Last Waltz.

You know, there are Bill Hicks albums on which he rants about how Keith Richards seems to be immortal. You know when those albums were recorded? The early nineties. Over twenty years ago.

I disagree. I think the one in "Ball and Chain" is more satisfying, with that awesome ramp up leading into the final choruses. Plus, going from C to C# is just more interesting to me than going from E to F—I prefer modulations which the key further from C, not closer to it. Don't get me wrong, the one in "Senses…" is…

And a more recent one: Yann Tiersen—A Midsummer Evening.

My two favorites:
The Jam—Going Underground

Would that make Zen Arcade the coke-addict midwestern American cousin to Quadrophenia?

Except when he's working with Edgar Wright, which produces gold.

So? 50 Shades is "Popular popular", doesn't mean it's good. I'd take a few more gambles on risky projects some of which turned out to be pretentious drivel over what we have now.

Yeah…listen to "The Lonesome Crowded West." They did not start out writing songs that sound like Float On.

The writers have explicitly stated that they have a complete timeline of everything that has happened in Ooo up to the point when the show begins, and that while they only drop it in hints and bits, the entire backstory is internally consistent and pre-thought out.

I disagree. I think without the lighter episodes of Adventure Time, the more lore-heavy ones wouldn't hit as hard. We need to understand who these characters are when they're NOT learning huge secrets about the universe, or going through really heavy trauma, or stuff like that. Otherwise Finn and Jake would just be a…

Plus, in all the hundreds of albums I have listened to, I have never once come across a single one with a title as great as "Baron Von Bullshit Rides Again." That sentence is one of the greatest pieces of poetry written after the turn of the millennium.

That got an Ernie laugh out of me.

It's pretty good, though. Most of it isn't quite that morbid, just kind of mopey. But well-written to the point where you don't really care.

The full version by LAKE is even better. That bridge, man. "All of my affections, I give them all to you…" So sweet and lo-fi.

Her bureaucracy might be to our advantage, though. "Enemy gems" and "Earth" and "Destroying it" have been abstract concepts to her for her entire life; once she has to confront them personally, it may not be so easy to push the kill button anymore.

"So, have Stevens replaced humans as the dominant species on earth?"
"No, there's lots of humans! Dad, Connie, Lars, the mailman, Onion…I think…"

Adventure Time, Steven Universe, Gravity Falls, in that order for me. Adventure Time JUST gets the edge because it's a bit more willing to experiment, and will sometimes have characters and stories that feel like nothing else ever made. Steven Universe is just really, really great at what it does. There have been…
