Wow, I am shocked, in a good way. "He Would Have Laughed" is also my favorite Deerhunter song. Have been a pretty big Deerhunter fan for around five years now--I celebrate their entire catalogue. Surprised to see this at #1 as it's not their most popular song by any means. "I know where my friends are now" -- love the lyrics in the 2nd half of the song.
Малыш так заразительно смеется)))
Haha. Oh Man. Hahahahaha. I mean, you deem The Idler Wheel "not wholly satisfying" but then state it is your #1 pick in another reader poll. I bet you would give music as a whole a 6.8 huh: http://www.theonion.com/articles/pitchfork-gives-music-68,2278/ Life is far too short to be so bitter. Just listen to an album for what it is. Who cares who else likes it? Who cares if Tame Impalas fanbase is comprised "entirely of Triple J Gen Y-ers"? Although I would bet that the majority of their fanbase has never even heard of Triple J. Haha. Jeez dude. Take a chill pill.
So "Antartica" backwards is "Catnap Redneck"? Wait, what?
"Go for the plus-x, go for the pitch." I wish I had a job where I heard stuff like that.
Yeah, he was great, by far the best of the group, which was quite an interesting group, what when they decided to throw Warren Buffet in the mix.
I don't know it could be cool. Maybe they could make it a fake mockumentary--you know, maybe something about some cool dudes who are all professional hangliders and live together in a huge Soho flat, where they eat pizza and drink beer all day. It's real actors portraying themselves how they would act if it were real life, but the pepperoni is fake.
Okay, if the odds are 1 in 500 that an egg has a double yolk, then the odds that 17 out of 17 eggs have double yolks (not sure how to do the calc for 17 out of 18, but it's all the same) would be 1 divided by 500 to the 17th power, or 1 in 7,600,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000.
It appears NBC cannot decide what it wants to do with the Office. Spader was fantastic in the otherwise lame season finale.
Speaking of Ricky Gervais, I stumbled upon his new show last night "An Idiot Abroad," where he sends Karl Pilkington to visit the Seven Wonders of the World. It was on the Science Channel of all places--Karly goes to the Great Wall of China, and it is fantastic.
Nothing worse than a sodden hodded jumper. Bloody Delta wankers.
Key word here is "unseemly."

And I firmly agree with you. Love that show and am a proud owner of the every episode on DVD and VHS, which stands for Video Hearing System.
Yeah, good point. And I can think of a funny bit I saw a comedian, I'm not going to say who, do where AIDS was in the punch-line, and it was funny, and I did laugh. I guess the context, delivery, treatment, etc. is indeed really what matters. That being said, you never ever ever ever (ever) hear white comedians using the "N" word, but maybe that's different.
Yeah, I don't know. The treatment of the subject matter is definitely important. For me, I just don't see how a joke about the Holocaust or rape could be fine, nor do I think I have ever heard a comedian do a funny pice on either of these topics, but I could be wrong about this. Maybe this does inevitably lead into some weird philosophical discussion because, on the other hand, there are some topics I consider okay and indeed laugh when comedians joke about them, like racism, etc. Not sure why I differ on these topics, but I do.
Agree 100%. The simple fact is that there is a line, even for comedians. For example, it would be bad for a comedian to make fun of Jews getting massacred in the Holocaust. Clearly that would be wrong. So there is a line. Like many of the things in this thing we call life, sometimes that line is grey and hard to discern (thesaurus.com), and that's fine. But you know you have crossed it when numerous people get offended and speak out.
Here's a suggestion My Lady Gwyneth Paltrow: have your butler google "homosexuality Bible verse" on the internets, and I'm sure you'll find the answer to your stupid, dumb, ridiculous, retarded question.
