560. Don't DVR the big game.
Agree, though I think I’d say “watch the big game live.” Using the DVR’s okay, maybe you’ll want to re-watch something. Don’t tape delay yourself, though.

When is Pitchfork going to start reviewing...

Pay it forward!
Nicola Roberts “Gladiator” n/a (probably around 60 times)
Johnny Boy - “You Are the Generation That Bought More Shoes and You Get What You Deserve (Crews Against Consumismo Extended Mix)”
