When in doubt, always blame John Mayer.

And no one manages to mention the fucked up sound quality. I've given this two or three spins so far and it's really pissing me off that an otherwise great album sounds so squashed and butchered. I don't even want to listen to this on my headphones because the clipping is so godawful.
I hope they did a different…
I wouldn't know. I didn't know who Nathan Rabin was until I just googled his name.
I'm sorry to have to go all fanboy on you, but I can't really agree with Homme's personality being detached or sardonic. He's always been witty and sarcastic but also pretty (street-)wise and emotionally receptive. There were a few years where he got really, really cocky in interviews but then again who knows what…
Yeah, but I don't think Stan actually appears in the first two seasons. Also, I wouldn't call him a dipshit, really. He's more like a lovable hipster sellout.
I'm guessing Paul Kinsey.
I think that was an actual Gene Hunt line in the original Life on Mars.
That's exactly the point though. What more should one expect of a cover version than it being an 'interesting approach'? If it's a great song to begin with, all you can really do with a cover is pay homage to the original. If you do that by taking the skeleton of the song and reworking into something interesting and…
This headline made me smile.
High Fidelity's one of those movies I wouldn't mind to see remade, preferably in a British setting. It's not that I don't like the John Cusack one, in fact I love it. But I've read the book numerous times and considering it's so very British, I'm still in awe that they made a great American film out of it.
YES to the motherfucking Hudsucker Proxy! Always been one of my favorite Coen movies.
The guy with the band that has a clown beating a trash can with a baseball bat is talking shit about a dude who used to make fantastic music and then started going on a Never Ending Rant about how companies don't want to produce the fucking sneakers he designs. What is happening?
I wish music feuds were more like back…
Wilder vs Welles is probably the most difficult one here. But how the fuck are the Coens runner-ups here? Runner-ups to Coppola maybe. Nothing against Chaplin, of course, but why put an Englishman in a list of American directors when there's two great American C's available?
It's about the only thing I really wish would still be the same. I'm not one of those 'born-too-late' people, but if bands still had the balls to sometimes be that sloppy, oh what a wonderful world this could be.
And maybe if producers were people who actually liked and understood music instead of being…
It's not *that* complicated. It's in 7/8 time, so basically they're leaving out one beat every other bar.
Wow, what the actual fuck? I really don't care about any of these, skip 'em if you like, but I Am the Walrus? That's just ridiculous. Next you're gonna tell Strawberry Fields is skippable.
Hello, Goodbye should be on this list. You can just skip it after the first ten seconds - because you've heard the whole song by…
No, Martha My Dear would definitely be my M. For me, it was the other way around. I used to skip it all the time, thinking it was one of those lame Paul songs, and then I left it on once and it instantly got stuck in my head. I like the weird little details in its composition that kind of mess with the general…
I don't know, Long and Winding Road is just forgettable. Rocky Raccoon is more like actively offensive to my ears. And let's not ever forget McCartney's ridiculous 'southern accent'.
I never thought it was that great to begin with. But I seem to be pretty alone with that opinion.
Rocky Raccoon has to be the worst Beatles song ever recorded. Also, for 'M' I would definitely put 'Martha My Dear' instead of 'Maxwell's Silver Hammer'.
