Never Heard of 'Em.
Like many of Radiohead's albums I think Kid A takes a few listens to in order to fully appreciate the album. There is always so many layers and so much going on that the first few times through is always a little disorienting. Kid A has been one of my favorite and most played albums since it came over over 10 years ago and I still find new things in the songs.

SL Letter of the Day: No Magic Beans.
@28
I'm a huge football fan and I don't know anything about some magical "Hallelujah" Tim Tebow pass.
Dan is trying to say "Hail Mary". The context fits. A Hail Mary pass is a desperation heave into the end zone to try to win the game as the final seconds of the clock run out.

Attention Actors—Your License to Whine Has Been Revoked.
@8
Well, the problem is that there is a very fine line where "actor" and "aspiring actor" is concerning how much money we make.
I can't support myself on just my acting gigs but I work fairly regularly. That doesn't make me an "aspiring actor"--I work professional jobs regularly--but if I didn't keep a day job I would have a pretty shitty lifestyle.

Seahawk Says a Player Coming Out of the Closet Would Be "Selfish" and "Divide" the Team.
Hey Clemons, not the smartest thing to to air homophobic comments when you play for gay friendly Seattle.
@2
The past few season Clemons has been a stud. But he's 32 now and just suffered a horrible knee injury in the playoffs making his return this season very questionable and even more questionable that he will ever play at a high level.
In fact, the Seahawks just brought in two talented prospects to possibly replace him and drafted a young guy last year to absolutely develop and replace him. Dude is expendable and I will be very surprised if he plays another down in a Seahawks uniform.

The Story of How I Was Detained and Almost Arrested This Afternoon.
@90 Really? The opening sentence suggests to me that this is a story about how a reporter was detained and almost arrested. That he was investigating a story about aPodments is a DETAIL related to a story about how a reporter was detained and almost arrested.
Reading comprehension is your friend.
