That last picture - the skull that would shoot out demons that would attack you - I never figured out how to beat that room.

Can't view YT at work, but if that's Bill Hader on Seth Meyers' show, then YES!!!

Good call. Isn't that just 2 chords?

"it nonetheless gave us the always welcome sight of Parker Posey delivering Hartley’s usual flat-affect dialogue running around in black stockings."

I found Collective Soul to be surprisingly good, myself. Butch joined CS onstage for a cover of U2's 'I Will Follow' too.

The Butthole Surfers chapter is hilarious. I also really liked the chapter on Big Black.

I think that was Chef, in the first Thanksgiving episode. He's lecturing the townspeople, and all of a sudden he stops speaking and looks at the little guy, and goes 'what the hell are you?'

So did anyone else get the ad to the right of the picture for TaxSLAYER.com?

I was smart enough not to trade my Library of Alexandria or Bazaar of Baghdad when I stopped playing. I sold them on eBay a few years ago for a few hundred dollars total.

I played MTG in high school (around the time the Arabian Nights expansion was out), I briefly had an Unlimited edition Ancestral Recall, but I traded it to a friend for a bunch of other 'rare' cards.

'Tearing Down the Wall of Sound'? I read that too, thought it was really good.

I think he was attracted to the extremism of his work - the pooping on stage and songs like 'I Kill Everything I Fuck' and 'I'm Gonna Rape You'. He had one of his live albums, I listened to it and while I thought the songs were crappy (pun intended!), the…

I went and had a great time again this year. I pretty much agree with your report. Sucked that Bjork's set got cut short - I'm not much of a fan of hers but she really impressed me. Her voice was a powerhouse.

I can see why a person would feel that way after watching their set, their music is bleak but Gira has said that their goal is 'ecstasy!'
