IB: These guys have catchy songs. I just wish they weren't such a one-fuckin'-trick pony.

i.e.
"Um...I guess that's the 60s, is that like Bert Jansch or something?"
"It's Only the Black Rose by the Yardbirds"
"Okay. Sounds pretty good."
"What's this some Weezer song not off Pinkerton or the first one?"
"Yeah it's December off Maladroit"
"This song sucks"
"Woah this is the 90s...jeez is this like Tar or Unsane or something?"
"It's Quicksand"
"Oh yeah..I remember them...they were okay."
"This is techno...um pretty cool I guess."
"It's Poor Leno by Rokysopp."
"Oh yeah, I bought that but I've never listened to it too much."

"It's (Who Put the Benzadrine) In Mrs. Murphy's Ovaltine by Harry (the Hipster) Gibson"
"oh...what's that off?"
"A MOJO comp called Feed Your Head"
"Oh yeah I ripped that from a guy at work. What a stupid song. I never actually listened to that disc. I should sometime."

Univision made them get in line with the rest of their affiliates. It kinda sucks, like half the front page is reposts from Gizmodo or wherever now.

Might as well put this here. Cold. Blooded.
Last month, G/O management told its seven Chicago-based A.V. Club employees that they either had to move to Los Angeles to work in the company’s new office there or lose their jobs. The employees were not offered cost-of-living increases. 1/X https://t.co/uzqIZUJVhE— Onion Inc Union (@OnionIncUnion) January 6, 2022

thought they couldn't go any further downhill?
NOT satire. NOT an ironic headline. @TheOnion, WT actual F. Sickening. Saw you go from scrappy Madison paper to more self-aware city paper before screwing over employees, nixing the print version, changing owners, screwing over more employees, & becoming pure corporate grossness. pic.twitter.com/9LH9UoslYM— tammy golden (@tammygolden) August 8, 2023

According to The Wrap, it was this:https://www.avclub.com/updated-august-2023-movie-releases-1850700499Looks like they've taken down the note, which is too bad because at least it was transparent.
