I think the top, like, alt-rock songs that have happened since 2000 are: 1. Seven Nation Army 2. Mr. Brightside 3. Maps Look, I may be off or something but the point here is that the legacy of Maps is WAY THE FUCK BIGGER than you think it is.

Pat McAfee said this. Pat McAfee did that. Wake me up when Pat McAfee actually protects my computer from viruses like I freaking paid for.

Pat McAfee saw this video and insinuated that the university was trying to stoke an assassination attempt against him

Greta Van Fleet sound like they did weed exactly once, called the cops, and tried to record a Led Zeppelin album before they arrested themselves pitchfork.com/reviews/albums…
Greta Van Fleet: Anthem of the Peaceful Army

Greta Van Fleet: Anthem of the Peaceful Army

The debut from the young Michigan rock band is stiff, hackneyed, overly precious retro-fetishism.

What’s your under-20% Rotten Tomatoes “hear me out”? Not talking about the usual picks like HOOK or BULLET TRAIN. Give the genuinely unpopular opinions. MORTAL KOMBAT: ANNIHILATION (1997) has just 4% on Rotten Tomatoes, but the ridiculous dialogue, bizarre character choices and gloriously cheesy fight scenes make it a hilarious time capsule of ’90s video game movies. It’s a complete mess, but watching Shao Kahn deliver lines like he’s auditioning for a wrestling promo has its own charm. What’s your pick?

The backlash to "Jay-Z picks Jay-Z as Super Bowl Halftime Show headliner" ignores the fact that Jay-Z is a good and deserving Super Bowl Halftime Show headliner

- Sports arent fun to watch - Sports promote fascist behaviour - Sports distract and subdue the proletariat from the ongoing class war against the bourgeoisie

I believe @nbcsnl had planned to run a brief Super Fans clip in tribute to Mike Ditka and ran out of time. I was contacted to suggest a favorite Ditka joke and this was my choice. It also has Michael Jordan and Todd(Farley)’s first televised heart attack! -RS
