I'm so glad Matt Villines and Oz Rodriguez were able to get jorbs.

I have a different favorite BTB song almost every time I hear that album, which is a lot.

Wooooooooooooo!

If I'm not mistaken, the very first entry in "Permanent Records" was a Sloan album - "Between the Bridges." I'm feeling lazy - someone look it up and tell me if I'm wrong!

Removing Caillou season 5 is a start. If we can wipe out all of Caillou from all streaming services, and keep it from airing on TV, and remove any trace of it from the internet, then (and only then) I will feel safe.

Great, thanks for that spoiler!

Well, this is no good. History has shown that odd-numbered seasons of True Detective are actually pretty good.

I finally stopped watching marble races about a year ago. It just became clear that they're all rigged.

But you're assuming the U.S. Constitution protects a right to appeal. It doesn't (at least, SCOTUS has never found that right). And Gawker doesn't have to post the bond to appeal.

I guess I'm not really following you. Are you talking about the U.S. Constitution or Florida constitution? There's virtually no federal constitutional protection for appealing a civil judgment. In fact, it's questionable whether the constitution protects any right to appeal at all (on a personal note, I think it…

The bond isn't required to appeal, but it is required if you want to stay execution of the judgment. Even if execution isn't stayed, if the appealing party prevails on appeal then they get their property back (subject to the risk that it's already gone by that time). Remember, criminal appeals have much greater…

Dude, I don't know if you've noticed, but the comments sections have gone way downhill. It's like people don't understand the tone of newswire items themselves, and have no sense of AV Club history. It's still better than almost any other website, but I'm betting a lot of people here never had the pleasure of reading…

So, let's see, the author refers to Paul McCartney as an "up-and-comer," Taylor Hawkins is an "oldies drummer," but the commentariat assumes that the author actually mistook Beck for David Spade (who is identified with reference to only two credits and no mention of SNL). AVClub comments sections have gone way…

First thing I thought of, too: https://www.youtube.com/wat…

The website for "The Bluegrass Situation" is depressingly earnest.

My mind went right to the Velvets too. The famous line about them is that not many people heard the Velvet Underground, but everyone who did started a band. Thing is, everyone who wanted their band to get better listened to Big Star.

For what it's worth, I miss hearing him on the radio, too. Soundtrack of my youth and what-not. Check this out:

Dude, it's hard to hear the "No Dice" album and believe that the band doesn't get more accolades. There's a threshold issue for me of whether a "rock and roll" hall of fame is a worthwhile endeavor (regardless of whether it limits inductions by genre or sub-genre) but if you're going to have it, you might as well…

You obviously don't live in the Pittsburgh area. I moved away a little over a year ago, and the most noteworthy difference is that your comment is the first I've heard of Donnie Iris since then. The long-time blue-collar residents love him sincerely, and the rest of the town loves him ironically, or else they love him…

It's a real Sophie's choice between Richard and Rick. You're absolutely correct in your observation, but then consider Rick on "It Makes no Difference." "Sandy" is a great song, and we're hypothesizing two late, great singers interpreting it, and I think they'd both do it justice. Now I'm just sad that this tribute…
