For a hot second I thought you guys were talking about Paul Scheer and I was fully buying it? Sure Paul has a band he plays with . Then I started reading your comments and I was very worried because I don't think I can handle having Paul singing about sex. Then I realized I'm a fucking idiot and that Paul McCartney exists. This all happened in like a minute tops but oh wow what a minute.

Yas! A tambourine! And maybe Jessica St Clair on the clam piano...and a giant shark.

I kind of need Paul Jason and June to start a band now. I don't know why but I feel like a tambourine would be involved

Does this just end up as a paradox?

I would totally listen to a Paul Scheer album What would it sound like though? I feel like it would be like a hybrid of They Might Be Giants, Death Cab for Cutie, and The Decemberists.

Well I may have brought up them masturbating with dead fish so.... maybe?

Next movie is Beastly.

I think you mean, "A-one, a-two, a-one, two, three, fuh" Sad to hear the new album is not great. I'll probably pass on that one. Also, does anyone mind telling me what film the next ep is covering? I've been too busy to listen these past couple weeks. Hoping I get some down time soon...

Katie needs to go into witness protection. Also, air plants! Air plants are low maintenance, pet safe, and can be bought in bulk online.

I just finished. It's real middle-of-the-road. Nothing stands out for being good, but the bad is pretty in your face. It's a weird album for McCartney. It's like he's trying to be edgy and self-reflective, but that's not really a look he's ever worn particularly well. Do you know who I feel bad for? The session musicians. You just know there's someone who showed up to the studio and was like, "Oh my God! I'm hear to play oboe on a Paul McCartney record. The man is a legend. 'Let it Be,' 'Hey Jude,' 'Maybe I'm Amazed.' Wow." And then Paul walks in and is like, "Hi! Pleased to meet you. Here's me song about fucking. It's called 'Fuh You.' A-one, a-two, a-one, two three, four..."

I wasn't paying any attention to the lyrics. Just how it sounds. But the lyrics on the three singles were not good. So, this isn't surprising to hear. Especially since it seemed like he was trying to be provocative and shocking. Paul, no one is listening to your newest work for sex talk.

Listening now (*sigh* another day Topaz) Jesus, “Who Cares” sounds like a Huey Lewis and the News cover... So far, I’m not super impressed. “I Don’t Care” was not only a weird lead single, but it’s the album opener?!? Wtf? Honestly, I’ve only heard two songs that weren’t already released, and at the risk of sounding like a kinkshaming ageist, I’m not sure I want hear about horny, 76-year-old Paul... Oops! Here’s a new song. “Confidante.” Oof! Okay. Here’s what I’m going to say: the music is okay. I think he’s got interesting ideas, but these lyrics are more “Scrambled Eggs” than “Yesterday.” (That’s a reference for the *real* fans )

Were we also kinkshaming the dolphins? Asking for a friend.

I also agree. And agree that Katie didn't seem to be kink shaming him. It was more like, "this is a weird thing that he likes. is it okay for me to not be comfortable with it?" and absolutely yes! He absolutely should have checked in with her about her reaction to it beforehand, and absolutely afterward. A simple, "was that okay?" "did you like that?" would suffice. Communication and consent is key. Feel free to ditch him. Let him be him, and you get tested.

I would be careful there because it is a thing, however it's typically a thing done by conservative outside parties not cool with how consenting adults have fun in the bedroom. This wouldn't be kinkshaming because if Katie doesn't like this then that's her decision and not shaming the dude at all. Although one would argue maybe we should shame this dude's kink cause that's crossing a line in my opinion. But everything else I agree with. Life is too short for bad sex, and this dude sounds like danger. Katie please leave him.

How will Archer deal with the loss? Also, I haven't been on the thread for most of the week, so I have no idea what the fuck I just read through.

I agree with the resequencing snow. It can be called: “What’s the Sequency, Scotteth?”

What about a show where they just re-sequence specific albums? Honestly I could listen to them argue about sequencing all day. And that would allow them to talk about a bunch of different bands while sticking to one general "theme".

swift dawg was here

R.E.M. just announced a new 9-disc box set called "R.E.M. at the BBC", coming out on Oct. 19th. I'll be severely disappointed if the guys don't do an episode on this. http://www.remhq.com/news/r-e-m-at-the-bbc-coming-october-19th-read-press-release/

Hey man, why stop at one?

Having a child so I can insist that they call their blanket Softie the Softie over their loud and persistent objection.

I need to smoke a cig, cuz you just fucked my shit all kinds of up

Hopped on just to recommend this one (which I loved as a kid, for the record). This is such a natural fit for HDTGM. It’d be tubular!
