"Literally shat myself" can mean three things:
— semi-literal: I lost control of my bowels because I was laughing so hard.
— super-literal: I expelled myself from my own anus because I was laughing so hard.
— not literal at all: I didn't really shit my pants, but I sure was laughing hard.

I didn't think of the wolf children. They're probably very bad at writing English papers, but very good at communicating with wolves…so it evens out.

Yes, it's well below the standard of a typical AV Club thread:

I disagree with the idea that "some people don't have a head for [language] rules." Anyone who speaks a language (i.e., 99.99% of humanity) has to internalize ten zillion rules just to understand and be understood by others. On the other hand, many people don't know or care about the minutiae of language (does the…

"Star Trek V is seriously underrated."
- No one, ever

You fell into my trap. GET HIM!

Is it just me, or are the Beatles really overrated? I've tried to listen to them, but never saw the appeal.

And the guy from Caveman.

Let me google that for you: the Crickets (sans Buddy) are still alive, and still perform as the Crickets, apparently.

After a couple of years of piecing together millions of chainmail bits, the costume guys managed to rub off their fingerprints (fun fact from those bonus features).

Amazingly, all four original Sabbath members are still alive (more or less).

I can only think of one: the Jimi Hendrix Experience. 3/4 of the Stooges and 3/5 of the MC5 are gone. This game is no fun.

Illusion, Coma, Pimp, and Circumstance

I could have been Kojak…or Serpico…or Jesus Christ Superstar.

Exactly. In the 80s the Minutemen didn't look like punks (flying the flannel, when it was weird, not cool), and their musical style was totally different from their contemporaries. They were definitely punk, though, and definitely stand the test of time…which suggests that the most interesting punks are the ones who…

The bands that I listed are no more obscure than the ones listed in the article. Raise your hand if you've heard of Pegboy, but not the Jesus Lizard. Whatever. You win. I'm not a punk, and you're the god-emperor of punk. Who gives a fuck?

Cute, but irrelevant, since I didn't identify myself as anything in that comment.

I'm not sure how to jump into this discussion, because I don't know how we're defining "90s punk." If you mean bands like the Bosstones or Green Day, I hated them back in the 90s, and I barely remember them today. But I still listen to a ton of stuff from that decade that I call punk: Sleater-Kinney, Fugazi, Jesus…

I feel your pain. I devised the category "Alternative/Indie" to solve this problem. Otherwise I'd have to research, e.g., which Replacements albums are on an indie vs. major label. I decided to go with consistency (internal to my music collection) rather than precise accuracy.

Since I've got a touch of OCD, inconsistency drives me crazy. If most of my metal albums are tagged as Metal and a few as Heavy Metal (or Stoner Doom, or whatever), I can't stop myself from fussing over that "problem."
