Oh yeah and? Once Upon a Time in America is an exceedingly fucked up piece of work. It makes Apocalypse Now and Goodfellas look like lighthearted romps through the park by comparison.

Qichen Zhang at This Recording notes that Meryl Streep is directly responsible for Zooey Deschanel.
Not only does Meryl hold the title of the original manic pixie dream girl, but she does so at an age three times that of one of our generation’s most well-known imp Kirsten Dunst (four, if you want to count starting with Dunst’s role in The Virgin Suicides as her ultimate pixie...

I *MAY* HAVE HELPED WITH SOME OF THESE?
You will hang from the chandelier. If there isn’t a chandelier to hang from you will craft one out of empty Solo cups and year-old issues of New York magazine. You will find that you know all the words to the Sam Kinison version of “Wild Thing.” You will do the worm in a sorochka that you just happened to have lying around the house. You will get in an oatmeal fight. You will wrestle a deaf tiger....

While you’re stirring—and it’ll get frothy what with all that carbonation so don’t get too aggro with your stirage, right?—you’ll need to bless the punch in some way. If you’re a smart, you’ll chant “double, double toil and trouble.” If you’re a cool, you’ll rap, “I did it like this, I did it like that, I did it with a wiffle ball bat soooooo….”

INSTEAD I HAD A DAD
I mean, good lord, they started their second album with a couplet rhyming “horchata” with “balaclava.” When Nirvana did it they called it “Serve the Servants” and we thought it was awesome. Now we are old and grumpy and feel we need to defend things. Which is fine! But it’s OK. Let it go.

“The goal was always to avoid being that surly alcoholic guy who didn’t live up to his dreams and blamed the wife and kids for that,” he added. “So, you make your calculations, you roll the dice and you hope you’re right that there’s time after you make it to then join the human race and have a normal emotional life.”

The difficult subject of the sweet science
Astorga took a knee just seconds after the bell as a result of what appeared to be a grotesquely delayed reaction to a jab that Duddy had thrown some time in the last decade. Halfway through the first round Duddy bent to his left and sunk a big huge lefthanded body shot into Astorga’s belly, just as deep as you can push one of those things without taking a glove off and scraping your...

Was anyone else vaguely disappointed that the cop-lady next to Michelle never got some messianic upturned open-palm shout-out? Like, what was her story? Miss u Gee Dubs?

Get out of the business
I’m coming to the realization that The Machines hate me, probably for my refusal to accept Christian Bale as The Messiah (fuck you, Machines, it’s Michael Keaton FOR LIFE).
Yeah that’s right, now my work machine blew up. On the upside, the Computer Services bro’s hand darted into a pile of CDs on my desk and came up with a copy of Exile in Guyville to which he excitedly...

LONDON – Is it possible to have too much ABBA?
Knowing me, knowing you, the answer is no.
Holy fuck. Now, I love ABBA and I love horrible puns constructed from song lyrics nearly as much. But this just made me feel icky.

One of my co-workers just told me that she saw Megadeth would be playing the whole of Rust in Peace at the NorVa and that she “thought of me” when she did. This is like in high school when people used to stop me in the hallway to ask me about Neil Young or some shit.

The Game was an idea so stupid they put it on VH1, where it got the opportunity to rub elbows with I Love New York, Big Roid-Raging Jerks With Stupid Nicknames, and those shows where Flava Flav accidentally made everyone consider selling their Public Enemy records for awhile as a matter of principle. So not only does The Game consistently demean women, it is part of the same social institution...

Tommy Cecil, b / Marshall Keys, as / Chris Grasso, p — The Kennedy Center’s Millennium Stage, 1/23/2010
Like slow-burn, minor key Brubeck, the ballad they started the set with (“By Sting, no less”) was conservatory music that just happened to be constructed from blue notes. A profane sacred music. The bass lumbered under and over plaintive spikes of ivory, each note...
