On Stereogum

I haven't heard Rivers brag about hundreds of great songs in his catalog.

Prince is understandable because of fucking LotusFlower or whatever the shit, with 50 songs or something, but 10 =! a lot.

Wait, the Red Album only had ten songs. Most of them were terrible, but still, unless he's counting Alone and the other B-Side releases, it shouldn't count.

I'd cap it at 100k.

Last time I checked, a mistrial does not mean innocence, it means incompetence on at least one party in the trial.

He put a gun in a woman's mouth and pulled the trigger, he has been found guilty of said crime. Do not drag race into this, especially not considering the race of the President.

If it were Radiohead selling, I'd sell VITAL organs. I'd sell my damn liver, because after hanging out with Radiohead, everything else would suck in comparison; I wouldn't have long to suffer.

Positive Rage is out, at least according to my local record store, who has it on their shelves (along with Mirior Noir...)

I didn't dig Swoon nearly as much as Carnavas, but it's still an extremely solid collection of songs, so I'll be totally picking this one up (as well as scanning the local venues for any announcements).

(For mass-holes, Newbury Comics is carrying Swoon for 7.99 next week.)

The thing I especially love about this song is the lines like "I love you- I mean, I, I'd love to get to know you."

You know, being an awkward teenager and everything? Story of my life.

Having actually been to a Bruins game this year I can confirm that Bruins Kid does NOT go to every game (or at least he wasn't at the one I was at (which would prove he doesn't go to every game (oh god i'm using too many of these))))

The first guy does, however, and he's infinitely more awesome IMHO.

According to Esquire, who's seen the finished product, this is just a horribly misleading trailer that contains probably 75% of the full movie's action. It is supposed to retain the book's plot and ideals and be amazing.

And just this season, when Kenneth was trying to woo the blind chick, someone (Kenneth? Grizz or DotCom?) sang a horrible McDonald impression.

Wait, so we're going to have 9 and Nine out in theaters in the same season?

That would be an awkward slipup, although it'd be easy to see both on one ticket. "I went to see a movie called Nine, I assumed this was it!"

"to which the internet responded with a collective, not-unlikely: "Nine to next year's Oscars: Shit, we made this one year too late, we're gonna lose to The Road."

Hopefully, I fixed that for you. It doesn't look horrible (mainly because I love DDL) but as a male I'm probably going to skip this one.
