The first time I saw this was in my late teens when I'd been idolizing Dylan for years and it was massively disappointing. I had naively read Dylan as just the kind of ideal man who would write incisive political songs like Only a Pawn, deeply emotional songs like Ballad In Plain D, and goofy humor like I Shall Be…

KRS One may not get that reissue but he has a pretty good new single and an new album coming out. https://www.punknews.org/ar…

I bet they won't reveal it until the finale. We're going to have to watch a lot of insufferable mourning and strife before that.

To me a world where zombies exist but are effectively managed and the attention turns to rebuilding society would be a lot more interesting than random zombie sneak attacks (seriously, how are people still getting surprise neck bites from shambling groaners?) at this point. A world of small city states where…

*Clap…clap…clap*

Hoping, or acknowledging for the thousandth time? He's not dead. Comic book and soap opera characters are never dead unless they can't not be.

Besides, this show does not really have rules or makes sense ever.

Yeah Glen is definitely not dead. Comic books and soap operas do not show someone ambiguously dying without it being a fake out. He'll be gone for a few episodes and then "surprise" us by reappearing in the finale.

This is one of my favorite albums of the year, and the fact that it comes with an 11 album back catalog that I can check out for free on Bandcamp makes it one of the best musical surprises in memory.

"absolutely open to letting them walk all over her as she becomes more saggy, pious baby factory than actual human being." Feminism! Wonderful Marah. Actually this is jarringly reminiscent of standard misogynistic slut shaming rants. Just replace "pious baby" with "shameless fuck" and this could be a sentence from…

This could be Bonnie For You, where Bonnie Teti helps a guy with a small TV show try to make it better.

PLEASE SHARE THE AUDIO OF THIS!

His introduction especially looked to me like an intentional Bill Clinton impression. The hand gestures, the facial expressions, even the voice a little bit. And I realized - if you want to worm your way into the minds of sexist mainstream Democrats and get under Hillary's skin that would be a great way to do it.

I don't know why he didn't just say outright "I made the mistake of following my party's lead," or "Being new and without time to research the bill, I voted the way our party leaders asked me to. It was a mistake." That sounds legit. But he made it sound like he just flipped a coin or something.

Right. I don't care at all if she actually gets more money, and I'm not sure she does either. If she fights hard to get what she can and gets loses out, so be it. The big numbers were just the signal that something else was wrong, they are not really what's wrong. (Or rather, it's wrong that anyone is making that much…

I don't think it's about comparing paychecks. I think it is about comparing boldness. She regrets not being bold, not making fewer tens of millions. Her equality complaint is not, as I read it, "They make more than me" it's "they feel ok about being more demanding than me." I think she wants to me more ok with…

That was my initial reaction, but she's really not complaining about the money, she's complaining about her own attitude and inhibition. And she's right about that - no matter where you are on the economic scale a woman should feel able to negotiate just as hard as men. My take away is not "I need more money" but "I…

Elvis Costello. It's weird that his nasally vocals bother me since Bob Dylan, Jonathan Richman, The Violent Femmes and Smashing Pumpkins are among my favorites but I just can't dig Costello. And his melodies (except Allison) don't grab me either. It's like if someone spilled vinegar on The Beatles. I get that there is…

I loved Sunbather but I can't not hear Cold Play and Zwan fading in and out of this whole record. Which to me is a negative.

Me too. I can't see what separates them from all the other synth pop of the last 35 years. It's fun and nice but then I just think about how I could be getting the same thing but stronger from Ellie Goulding or Grime or The Knife.
