BUTT

"Something In Your Mouth" by Nickelback. Which category does this win? ALL OF 'EM!

Ice-cold Ice?

Wal-Mart would have guaranteed more sales. I bet Best Buy just offered a better deal. Besides, they say "fuck" once on the album and that doesn't fly in The House That Sam Built.

Well I think she's pretty rad, but I don't know what to tell you here. There's not really a lot to "get" with Taylor Swift, ya know? Either you think she's totally adorable and endearing or you don't. Not a whole lot more to it than that. Is T-Swift about to become a hipster cause célèbre the way Kelly Clarkson was a few years ago? Just warn me now so I can prepare.

Remember how popular the claim that "rock is dead" was back in '97? I seem to recall that Marilyn Manson was a big proponent of this, and pledged that his next album (later to be titled Mechanical Animals) would be a Bowie-style glam revival. And then, by 2000, rock was "back" and MM returned to his trademark Shitty Nu-Metal. I don't regret that period, though. Nu-metal doesn't quite have the cultural resonance of hair metal (probably because it understandably never took hold with the female music-buying public), so it's not as ripe for parody, but I swear to you it's five times more hilarious.

She's a teenage girl who writes her own songs. Teenage girls love country music but they don't have anyone who sings songs for them, about them and really knows what they're going through. Until now. Now they have Taylor Swift.

The talk of this album as a financial black hole is really overstated. The purpose of the Greatest Hits album released in 2004 was to recoup the expenses of Chinese Democracy, and it worked pretty well (Axl didn't wanted that album released, nor did Slash or Duff. One would think that was Axl releasing records on a regular schedule they'd me more amenable to his desire for them not to release it. Thus, we can assume that Guns N' Roses' Greatest Hits would not exist if not for the long wait for the new album. And for that reason I count the money made from Greatest Hits as a profit on Chinese Democracy.) I wonder who released the first compilation titled "Greatest Hits." That's a name that has stood the test of time.

She's from Wyomissing, PA. I knew a really hot girl from Wyomissing once. She dated two of my friends. She was not attracted to me. It hurt.

1 KANYE WEST ROC-A-FELLA/IDJMG 443,559 808S & HEARTBREAK 2 TAYLOR SWIFT BIG MACHINE 257,047 FEARLESS 3 GUNS N' ROSES GEFFEN 255,341 CHINESE DEMOCRACY Ouch?

Something about this sentence comes off as really hilariously dumb and idealistic to me. ONE: Thinking Kanye fucking West is the kind of Capital-A Artiste who makes records for himself, not money or fame. TWO: The ludicrousness of the idea that Kanye, king attention whore, would ever pass up the chance for recognition. THREE: "Man, my mom just died and I broke up with my fiancee. I'm gonna get over it by recording myself singin' like T-Pain, but nobody's ever going to hear it." Stupid Pitchfork.

I'll let you know when I finish watching it on Google video!

Rare owns the rights to Killer Instinct.

It's being speculated that he wants to buy it just to liquidate it. In which case, if he sells it off piece by piece, there's gotta be some franchise (or IP, should i say) we can all pitch in and pick up. Marble Madness? Primal Rage? Or maybe...just maybe...dare I say...REVOLUTION X?

You don't like discussion of movie grosses, I thought maybe you didn't like hearing about album sales either.

"Shackler's Revenge," "Scraped" and "If the World" should have been left on the cutting room floor. The first is lame nu-metal, the second sounds like "If It Ain't Broke, Break It" from Bat Out of Hell III and the third just doesn't work.

what's going to be hilarious is that the album will probaly be comprised entirely of songs we've never heard... It's from the same thread where Banky and I sparred over his posting a Photoshopped picture of Axl's face on Ali G's body.

I just called into Observer Radio. Listen for my terrible voice and stammering as I inquire about Rick Rude and the WCW title while trying not to wake my family.

Haha, Byron scared Bob away from making this week's box office thread.

Like I would joke about cinema. A movies folder is a place to talk about Eisenstein and other Soviet auteurs, not for discussing what's popular right now. "Hey, look at me! I'm bob_barron! I see movies and post about them on TSM!" You bastard.

That would be an incredibly progressive move for Nintendo, and would require a patch, so no.

For a female, Ginger Snaps hasn't been subjected to the ridiculous fawning that TSM women usually are on the receiving end of. Perhaps this is because she is thought to be Prince Paul. Ripper once said she looked like iCarly but I don't consider that flirting, unless Rip was utilizing the Mystery Method and wanted to drop a Neg by comparing her to a 14-year-old.

THERE ALREADY WAS A BATMAN MOVIE! WHY WOULD YOU WANT TO SEE ANOTHER ONE?
