I think there are plenty of drummers, guitars, and bassists who simply aren't musical never learn the value of rhythm. It's especially bad when you have a bass player who is clueless about rhythm and tries to looks smart.

I'm not going to name names but I've pledged to a few that were either over-ambitious or executed incompetently. The two most common are products that end up being not manufacturable, and films that promise DVDs but decided to spend 2 years on the festival circuit, then a few more trying to get funding for a wider…

I really have to point out that liking Elvis, MC5, acid blues, and "morbid country" is basically just being a fan of early rock. I hope AV Club isn't going to start doing the Pitchfork thing where they ignore the 90% middle of the road and obsess over tiny bits of fringe. They're a good band, but there's a lot more…

It depends on whether you believe the police have the job of keeping the peace, or beating up thugs. If their job is to keep the peace, then 90% of them being assholes would be 90% of all chefs being unable to boil water without starting a fire.

I disagree, I think we've all been in situations where mental illness was a factor, we just don't always recognize it as such. Partially because people with mental illness are good at hiding it, and people without prefer other labels.

Ah, the music industry, where Trickle Down Economics has become, 'You haven't succeeded until you've got somebody you can piss on.'

Maybe it's because I don't use it often, but everytime I buy something from there is a new process to getting mp3s onto my computer. I've been working in tech for 20 years so it's not like I haven't worked with computers on an advanced level.

Most of it stuff we don't need, stuff that was bought for the basic function of sitting on a shelf costing money.

There's a lot of exploitation and general misadventure happening. Lots of reissues that aren't well thought out, and lots of reissues that simply take advantage of casual music buyers who've never been inspired to buy a used record.

Google Play is just an inexplicably complicated music download site. That and they're really lousy at making the simplest connections for artist recommendations.

Actually, the fact that they're more popular just means that there's a lot of stuff that's twice as is expensive as it would have been 10 years ago.

I watched there Late Show set on Youtube and felt extremely underwhelmed with all the excitement that was supposedly happening on stage. You can tell they're a ban that rarely plays together.

Oh yah, completely, I often churn and annoy geeks when I tell them that I only play games on Wii U for fun. It's fine to watch super hero movies for fun, just stop trying to tell me that they belong in the same category as films like Wages of Fear, and M.

Howard Zinn said something along the lines of you're not going to have time to read the really useful books and until after you've finished school.

That's why they should change geometry to quantities and then you just learn to calculate how many cans of paint you need for wall, how many tiles you need for a floor, and how many lengths of pipe you need for your plumbing.

I've always believed that level math in high school should remove half the busy-work and replace it with math appreciation. Half the problem is kids learn about math in a vacuum and they don't see themselves using calculus unless their a very smart person who always wears a lab coat. Most high school kids would do…

The main problem with remaking horror films is that the originals are usually made by a group of people with more inspiration than funding. Whereas the remakes are made because there's a slot in the schedule and the people in charge say "low risk" a lot.

Is it just me or is the 3rd paragraph simply a remake of the 1st paragraph?

The Electric Mayhem lives on one of my bookshelf speakers. A hand-carved bid, and a glass blown bird live on the other one.

You wait a week, and you don't have to wait in line for several hours at the risk of getting nothing.
