Who else has bought tickets for this flight?  I demand to see a passenger list.  C'mmmon all-powerful media tell me what I want to know!

Okay, shit, wait— tied with Radiohead, Burial, Panda Bear, and The National that year.

I think Wincing the Night Away was easily the best album of 2007, and surely the best of the Shins' first three.  What else came out in 2007?  I have no idea.

White Zombie
Some band reviewed at Pitchferk recently— White Car

Dammit all the good Friday quotes already taken

What's the official count now on two-word band names with "White" as the first word?

Friends.  Oh wait, that show should have gotten zero seasons.

Just remembered the most annoying concert experience I ever had— A Perfect Circle show in Providence where Maynard stayed obscured for *the entire show* inside a translucent, screened-in box in the center of the stage.  WTF Maynard

Yeah, they don't really seem like they'd translate well to a live setting.  I absolutely love the last couple of Panda Bear albums, but I'm not sure I'd go see him fiddle with a laptop as the main attraction at a show…

That very same qualm keeps me from attending any number of shows.  We are the breed known as "isolationist music snob."

I was super-excited to see Jamie Woon perform at a little club in L.A., but then thoroughly underwhelmed at the sedateness and sheer lack of volume at the show.  I was expecting some post-dubstep-post-whatever beats…  Who else has had a similar experience?

Just rented from Redbox. It's five months after this article's publication, but I feel compelled to comment nevertheless…  I'm that slow-on-the-uptake guy who never seems to see the big, obvious twist coming a million miles away, so my viewing experience included a delightful moment of utter surprise.  But the twist…

This show was so much better when it was the uber-creepy movie Jacob's Ladder.  In lieu of watching Awake I will simply experience warm, nostalgic feelings for said movie.  Also I will think of Jason Isaacs playing Captain Hook and grin.  I do believe in fairies, I do!  But only in alternate universes.

Burt Statham must keep his heart rate elevated through prodigious consumption of Red Bull martinis and human adrenal gland.  He spends time with kind-hearted prostitute who, unaware of his predicament, only wants to help him get some sleep.  She drugs his RB & Belvedere with Xanax, and Statham's last words as he feels…

Wow that's a lot of comments. I wish I had the attention span to read them. Or the interview too, for that matter. But no, all I can manage is this stupid comment. I love everything P.T.'s ever done, so I expect the same from this movie. The drugs are wearing off so I'm going to get more. Life is…

Only if you yourself are a minor celebrity, you self-encounterer, you. In other news, your first sentence counts as: "A Sentence Never Uttered Before By Man, Ever, In The History Of The Universe"

Boringest story ever nominee
One time I waited on John C. Reilly at a greasy spoon I was working at in Pasadena. He ordered an omlette and asked for feta cheese after I delivered it. I laughed and said we're too vanilla a place for schmancy cheese like that. We had, you know, cheddar. Christine Vachon (producer?)…

Please hurt me
Not to side with the spacegrouch guy who was so soundly snarked upon earlier or anything, but these picks are kind of a letdown. I mean, they're just such easy targets, you know? (The Alvin and the Chipmunks soundtrack? As though any actual human being is out there picking this up, thinking "I'll bet…
