It’s got to suck working on bonus CD-ROM materials for music CDs knowing full well your audience is: (people who read liner notes)/20

Tue Sep 13 17:23:51 +0000 2011

“Augmented Reality Experience” is the most ridiculously overblown BS marketing euphemism imaginable for “We threw in some bonus CDROM shit”

Tue Sep 13 17:20:34 +0000 2011

Funniest thing I’ve seen so far today: comment section full of people lamenting the death of the CD by complaining ‘digital music sucks’

Tue Sep 13 15:24:21 +0000 2011

Mostly though these New 52 #1 review columns all read the same: staid & lacking Sterling’s insight. 6 months in, then they’ll have a point.

Mon Sep 12 16:30:22 +0000 2011

Not writing on DC’s New52 #1s because there’s more than enough of that already but Giffen’s OMAC is pure Kirby goodness http://t.co/R8AZqpb

Catch-22: if you take Esquire’s How To Be A Man feature remotely seriously you are precluded from being one

Hey, Spider-Island: Avengers was actually quite good, don’t miss it in the sea of samey-looking tie-ins with generic names on the stands

Sat Sep 10 19:18:55 +0000 2011

Whenever something actually happens on which one might want current news updates I’m struck by the uselessness of all local SD news websites

Fri Sep 09 19:01:31 +0000 2011

At this point New Order w/o Peter Hook isn’t Queen w/o Freddie Mercury, it’s Dream Theater w/o Mike Portnoy–both badly need to STFU ASAP

Fri Sep 09 18:23:05 +0000 2011

How is it possible every month’s Zenescope covers are more cringe-inducingly mortifying than the last?

Fri Sep 09 16:24:08 +0000 2011

“San Diego: I SURVIVED being slightly uncomfortable for just under 12 hours” t-shirts would probably have a limited sale window

If you bought an ipad 2 case that doesn’t make use of the smart cover auto wake/sleep feature you oughtta take that shit back tout suite

Wed Sep 07 21:28:08 +0000 2011

Everything about Marvel’s Season 1 OGN covers from art to trade dress is awful unless “remainder-bin knockoffs” is what they were going for

Wed Sep 07 19:42:02 +0000 2011

I enjoy the work of PJ Harvey including her newest album but as an American I must disavow any knowledge of what the Mercury Prize is

Tue Sep 06 21:39:40 +0000 2011

Does your band have a ‘clever’ name? Man is that going to get old fast.

Tue Sep 06 21:36:31 +0000 2011

I never thought I’d be okay with a Hookless New Order but then I never thought Hook would be so blatantly exploitative of Joy Division music

Tue Sep 06 16:34:33 +0000 2011

I kinda think all instagram/hipstamatic processed photos look shitty now and will look moreso as time continues to pass

Who are the dumbfucks buying these licensed versions of Monopoly? It’s the same game with different tokens and street names. It’s also sad.

Oscar Jiminez could have been an A-list comic book artist if he’d ever delivered work in a remotely timely fashion. Great stuff but so late.

Was down for the concept of Ghost but not finding the music on Opus Eponymous as good as I’d hoped

Man I loves me some Thin Lizzy but the guitar solo on “The Rocker” is total ass

If I enjoy someone’s creative output it doesn’t mean I want to be harangued to help promote it as if that’s somehow my responsibility.

Mon Aug 29 18:44:35 +0000 2011

It must be tough to work up the enthusiasm to pretend anyone’s cared in the slightest about the Video Music Awards in decades

Mon Aug 29 16:24:52 +0000 2011

There can never be enough Giffen/DeMatteis/Maguire comics (but they don’t all have to be Justice League related–maybe creator-owned next?)

I wonder how often that Static-X guy catches his reflection in the dressing room mirror & sighs deeply & mournfully before going onstage

Tue Aug 23 16:58:09 +0000 2011

All of these “Who’s Who at DC Comics-The New 52″ creator profiles are staggeringly dull. Done in the least imaginative way possible.

Mon Aug 22 19:17:10 +0000 2011

I guess it’s safe to take my Borders Rewards and Blockbuster Video cards out of my wallet now

Mon Aug 22 17:30:59 +0000 2011

Admittedly the blacklight room already breaks the Corvette Diner 50s theme but the Insane Clown Posse Bizarre Bazaar poster is going too far

Fri Aug 19 21:09:10 +0000 2011

Watched Blur – T in the Park last night. Do they get better or is singing shittily & out of key just Damon Albarn’s ‘thing’?

Thu Aug 18 15:29:38 +0000 2011

Keep thinking agency on Mad Men is named Sterling Archer Associates, then get distracted thinking about how awesome that premise would be

Wed Aug 17 23:01:02 +0000 2011

A writer writing to other writers about writing does not seem like worthwhile networking unless one’s aim is to be a writing teacher.

Wed Aug 17 20:55:08 +0000 2011

Though I too mourn the loss of canvas for visual art and text in albums, digital booklets are a waste of time for creator & listener alike

Wed Aug 17 15:40:14 +0000 2011

I got an offer claiming $15 for Harmony Balance-Bands is “a $40 value”, rather than the more accurate “$15 for a worthless scam product”

God T.H.U.N.D.E.R Agents is awesome. I hope it doesn’t get completely buried and forgotten in the New 52 push.

Tip of the hat to Scott Snyder for a stellar scripting job on his Detective Comics run–looking forward to Batman run starting next month.

Thu Aug 11 02:15:02 +0000 2011

I like few bands enough to bother listening to a remix collection and I’m afraid Radiohead’s music hasn’t been rewarding enough for years

Wed Aug 10 20:58:09 +0000 2011

Watched the Horrors’ Glastonbury set last night: not bad, not great. Lyrics too simplistic and repetitive, songs a bit flimsy. 3 stars

Wed Aug 10 17:12:40 +0000 2011

Lord knows I loves me some metal but the whole “No really look how EEEEVIL I am” act some people in the genre pull is painfully corny

Mon Aug 08 22:06:46 +0000 2011

I’m fine with Lorne not changing out any SNL cast but I better not see any Deep House Dish, Target Lady, or What’s Up With That next season

Sat Aug 06 00:46:35 +0000 2011

Musical considerations aside, bands that dress up to look “old-timey” give me shudders of revulsion

…kids of today should defend themselves against false nostalgia for Ten and Nevermind.

Tue Aug 02 21:44:50 +0000 2011

Speaking out against false nostalgia in 1994, Eddie Vedder sang “Kids of today should defend themselves against the 70s”…

Tineye would be useful if it worked better or at all, seems like there’s a space in the online spectrum for that if someone wants to step up

J genuinely offended at my suggestion it will be awesome when the Starship Enterprise shows up in Game Of Thrones book 6

Sun Jul 24 21:08:00 +0000 2011

This Katie MacAlister seems to be a prime offender, title after title and each one a worse groaner than the last

I’d like to say I’ll miss Borders, but I haven’t found shopping at one enjoyable in quite awhile. Still, it was good when it was good.

Mon Jul 18 22:38:03 +0000 2011

Checked out some Widespread Panic music this weekend, found it all fairly tepid & unambitious. Decided I don’t really like Widespread Panic.

Every article on Battles for the past several months, summarized: “There sure are three guys in the band now instead of four”

Also Hooky’s Joy Division rerecordings are embarrassing and cringeworthy so well done on burning bridges there

Fri Jul 15 17:14:23 +0000 2011

“I know that our all bickering physically hurts the fans and destroys what they loved” Don’t worry Hooky it does neither http://t.co/pQfWUPE

Finding it really hard to care about any of Marvel’s Fear Itself. At least we know Flashpoint is going somewhere; this doesn’t seem to be.

Sun Jun 12 05:19:41 +0000 2011

It’s hard to deny that a good number of DC’s 52 relaunch series feel like the ‘DC Explosion’ titles of the late 70s #quicklycanceled

Sat Jun 11 17:34:28 +0000 2011

Conversely, I’d have bet good money there was no way DC could possibly make a Stormwatch series interesting but with @Paul_Cornell, it is.

Thu Jun 09 18:29:36 +0000 2011

Marvel had better step up its PR game. Yet another obnoxiously obvious X-Men relaunch coupled with terrible Greg Land art ain’t cutting it.

Really glad Paul Levitz’ LSH book isn’t going away but honestly surprised to find DC still thinks the market can support 2 Legion books.

Whatever happened to Argyle from Die Hard

Mon Jun 06 03:23:31 +0000 2011

Bends’ Moon Knight series really not doing it for me. And seriously, Echo again? Reads like the cliche of BMB talktalktalk empty writing.

Avengers Academy 14/14.1: continues to surprise me as one of the most consistent titles Marvel currently releases. Gage gets it–good stuff.

Marvel’s Fear Itself is sort of incomprehensible and lacking any kind of actual story but man Stuart Immonen sure can draw.

The short story in this issue kind of sucked too.

While Donald Glover’s concert was mediocre, I’m surprised more media celebs don’t do similar tours to milk it while they have the chance

Wed Apr 27 22:25:38 +0000 2011

The properties of art aren’t additive–cf. Donald Glover @ Belly Up, a 2 star comedy set + a 2 star rap set = a 2 star show.

Wed Apr 27 06:28:56 +0000 2011

I feel like I just paid to finance Donald Glover’s fantasy of being an actual musician.

Well the National’s Coachella set was better than the Strokes’ but then they had the advantage of being a better band playing better music

Thu Apr 21 04:09:42 +0000 2011

For some it was last weekend but tonight is my Coachella, here in my living room. The Strokes on now, the National up next, followed by…?

Apple does a lot of things right but: the most ubiquitous Apple product is Itunes, and it’s a horrible POS that everyone hates and resents

Tue Apr 19 21:23:24 +0000 2011

There is and always has been something fundamentally uninteresting about the Smithereens, despite a few catchy tunes. Too formalist/retro?

Tue Apr 19 19:40:36 +0000 2011

I’m almost sorry to have to give up my weekend of saying “No, we can’t watch Game Of Thrones, the New York Times says women won’t like it”

Mon Apr 18 04:40:11 +0000 2011

Kitchen Nightmares US is such a fluffy reality-show POS compared to the original UK show, especially now

Sun Apr 17 19:49:59 +0000 2011

A little Emitt Rhodes goes a long way. Too much McCartney, not enough Beefheart

Sun Apr 17 17:06:59 +0000 2011

Anthony Michael Hall definitely should have been Jimmy Olsen at some point

Sun Apr 17 01:55:19 +0000 2011

The computer networking in Weird Science is bizarrely fascinating.

Sun Apr 17 00:44:28 +0000 2011

The Daytrotter downloader reeks of “Well, we spent all this money to develop this useless POS interface so we’re damn well gonna use it”

Sat Apr 16 18:31:21 +0000 2011

“There’s nothing to do in the midwest but dream” ~ @josepharthur. Yeah, that’s pretty much right on–dream about getting the hell OUT!

Wed Apr 13 22:52:42 +0000 2011

Finally updated the music info page of my site at http://aaronpoehler.com/music.html with both up-to-date info and stuff about old projects

Wed Apr 13 19:26:18 +0000 2011

Also bands, really: don’t do the ‘everybody wearing sunglasses in the picture’ thing. You don’t look like the Blues Brothers, you look dumb.

Wed Apr 13 15:55:04 +0000 2011

Seriously people stop naming your band The Black _____s. NOBODY CAN TELL YOU APART

Wed Apr 13 15:40:35 +0000 2011

Daytrotter sessions sure have the potential to be cool if they didn’t sound like 128kbps crap. The downloader is ridiculously awful as well.

Tue Apr 12 00:57:16 +0000 2011

Peter Tomasi, everyone thinks it’s incredibly pretentious that your credit is “story & words” instead of just “writer” or “scripter,” FYI

Sat Apr 09 16:53:59 +0000 2011

Man Brian Bendis sure thinks the Hood is an interesting character. Too bad he doesn’t convey that in his writing for shit

Sat Apr 09 16:30:47 +0000 2011

Definitely been laughing a lot as I catch up on Community but with s01e23 “Modern Warfare” the show takes a place as one of my favorites.

Wed Apr 06 18:44:13 +0000 2011

In 50 yrs no one will be able to parse any qualitative difference between “Friday” and “Born This Way”

Tue Apr 05 00:24:11 +0000 2011

Can’t get this Raymond Carver line read 2 days ago out of my head: “He never knew what Jerry wanted. But it started and ended with a rock.”

Sat Apr 02 16:15:54 +0000 2011

The Flash episode “Twin Streaks” features a guy from Twin Peaks. Just got that, 20 years after the fact.

So apparently there’s someone I know who has never seen DIE HARD. What has happened to America’s educational system??

Fri Apr 01 22:57:06 +0000 2011

Just finished Lowside of the Road: A Life of Tom Waits. Amazon reviews pretty much tell the story here.

Thu Mar 31 06:34:45 +0000 2011

“This class is like a redhead who drinks Scotch and loves Die Hard. I suggest you all get her number.”

Thu Mar 31 04:49:42 +0000 2011

I see now Paypal is integrating its own credit card upsell. Oh Paypal, you never disappoint in finding new ways to be awful and crappy

Tue Mar 29 17:30:54 +0000 2011

And now: Rifftrax Reign Of Fire

Sun Mar 27 04:37:16 +0000 2011

Books finished this week http://twitpic.com/4cxoqv

Fri Mar 25 00:45:39 +0000 2011

Two things I don’t do: 1. Read the Huffington Post 2. Work for free

Thu Mar 24 19:59:57 +0000 2011

What did you mean when you said, “Feel my skills, donkey donkey donkey, donkey donkey?”

Wed Mar 23 17:52:22 +0000 2011

Hey @chrisbrown do us all a favor and go away forever; failing that at least stop hitting things to express your limited range of emotion

Tue Mar 22 21:00:33 +0000 2011

I’m sure tired of listening to this album but as soon as I decide not to double-check everything then bang, there’ll be a massive glitch

Mon Mar 21 21:38:32 +0000 2011

Finally unsubscribing from Borders Rewards email after years–too little signal-to-noise, too little reward, and of late, too many untruths.

Thu Mar 17 21:15:06 +0000 2011

Dude begging at intersection wearing “Class of 2010 — WE RUN THIS” t-shirt

Mon Mar 14 23:50:24 +0000 2011

…but I have to admit I laughed a lot more at tonight’s Bob’s Burgers

Mon Mar 14 04:00:41 +0000 2011

After all this time I’m still happy to see a new episode of The Simpsons.

Mon Mar 14 03:32:21 +0000 2011

These Jessie J musical performances are almost fascinatingly terrible.

Sun Mar 13 09:38:31 +0000 2011

This Jessie J on SNL: so who canceled last minute? Not ready for prime time or late night

Sun Mar 13 09:18:09 +0000 2011

If you don’t know what playing “in the pocket” means go see The Bellrays

Sun Mar 13 07:24:29 +0000 2011

Firethorn’s standard riff rock with cowbell is leaving me unmoved, but the bass is solid

Sun Mar 13 05:46:24 +0000 2011

Opening band at Casbah has those weird clear drums

Sun Mar 13 05:25:56 +0000 2011

Food was decent but if 8PM Sat is dead at Fat City Steakhouse when do they make money?

Sun Mar 13 04:55:07 +0000 2011

The sound on the new REM album kind of sucks. Hypercompressed, can’t get into it.

Sat Mar 12 21:09:45 +0000 2011

It’s not a “supergroup” if you have to explain who all the band members are

Sat Mar 12 18:24:00 +0000 2011

Tangled could really use some Machete-style ultraviolence

Sat Mar 12 06:14:40 +0000 2011

Baffling mysteries of the iPhone: why on earth can’t you adjust the alarm snooze time?

Fri Mar 11 15:04:45 +0000 2011

The Kids Are All Right was really well made bar only that I felt naming the kid “Laser” out of nowhere slightly violated Chekhov’s gun rule.

Wed Mar 09 23:06:37 +0000 2011

Borders, no one with a functioning brain is signing up for your Rewards Plus program right now so please just stop spamming about it

Wed Mar 09 19:11:24 +0000 2011

Well I can see one reason why not http://twitpic.com/47l4m4

Tue Mar 08 22:21:27 +0000 2011

Scrobbling no more: shut down and deleted the last.fm account I had for five years because really who cares
