I'm so into Michael Showalter's new blog

For me life is funnest when there's lots of Stella-related things happening. Like when I went to see Michael Showalter and Michael Ian Black at the Ivar Theater last fall, and Showalter did a story about losing big in a poker game and then driving home in the rain to Radiohead's "Everything in its Right Place," and oh how madly we all giggled. Or when I was sitting in a coffee shop in Venice Beach last week and David Wain walked in and I fell off my chair in happiness (metaphorically anyway). And here's one bit of Stella-y goodness we can all enjoy: Michael Showalter's got a new music blog for Spin.com, and so far it's definitely the best music blog in the whole world. The first installment's a nice little round-up of superlatives, which is probably a tribute to nogoodforme's own superlatives column (right, Michael Showalter?). A few gems:

Least Favorite Band of All-Time: The Grateful Dead (Date-rapey dudes and rich girls in tye-dyes, smoking bongs that look like roller coasters at Great Adventure. Not cool.)

Best Kick A Rusty Can & Contemplate Suicide Song: "Wave of Mutilation" by The Pixies

Best Really Fast & Socially Conscious Fuck Music: Fugazi

Nine thumbs up all around. And while I have you here, totally watch what's probably my favorite Stella short, at least for the first four minutes or so, anyway.
