That Billy Corgan titled an album Monuments to an Elegy in 2014 is one of the reasons I still love that terrible, terrible man.

There was a Guardian interview a few years back where he just comes across like an absolute worst nightmare interview subject, but catch him on a good day and that would be an amazing read.

God, The Rest is Noise is amazing, Alex Ross is an astonishing writer and classical music is ridiculously fun to read about.

It's funny, he's always such a curmudgeon in print, but I've seen Shellac a bunch of times because they play All Tomorrow's Parties nearly always, and play three shows a day for the weekend, and he's always incredibly chatty and good-humoured, and wanders round the place the whole weekend checking out bands.

Yeah I can see that, and I guess it's not so much about the numbers of people as the fact that Harmon has probably sunk deeper into the fandom than most showrunners, so it's about how noticeable/vocal a sub-section is, I guess. Like what @theonceandfuturedork:disqus said below. If you know the sorts of stuff…

You really think the show is setting up random relationship fake-outs because of how powerful the shipping faction is?

I feel like a compilation of all Dre's guest verses in the last few years would rank pretty high too at this point.

The writer reps Art of Storytellin' part 2, but pt 1 is gorgeous and has one of the most heart-stopping lyrics ever for me - "I said "what you wanna be?", she said "alive"".

Yeah, there's overplaying a funny song for a while, and there's a pop song so perfect that whoever you play it to will love it, be it retirees or kindergarteners or hipsters. Beatles-level shit.

I love B.O.B. but… what is it trying to say? Like the verses make a lot of sense (and Big Boi's verse is a contender for best ever), but the… "don't even bang unless you plan to hit something" and all the references to rag tops, and all that. What is it actually about, is it exactly what it sounds like?

In the UK, it's on Sky Atlantic, which is a Murdoch channel that hoovered up all the HBO/equivalent US prestiage dramas that used to be on free channels. It's a pretty expensive channel to have, and Mad Men's got about 90,000 viewers since it moved onto Sky Atlantic, and even Game of Thrones only gets about half a…

I haven't seen much of the show, but she's my favourite in the books. Arya is rad.

It's weird because Mad Men is one of the only shows that I get that need to keep watching feeling from.

"It seems the only people in this debate are white people and both sides are equally annoying."

Man, this is around the point my taste in music evolved beyond "just Nirvana."

I saw Tribe open for Justin Timberlake this year, if that's any help?

If you look at the comments on places like Kotaku or Comics Alliance any time a gender issue comes up, you see a lot of this stuff.

Yo La Tengo's up with Fables of the Reconstruction for me in terms of amazing albums which function more as a single entity than individual songs.

Live Rust version of Cortez the Killer might be my favourite Neil Young song, as long as you pretend he's speaking in Simlish or something.
