THIS IS WHAT HOLLYWOOD NEEDS.

If it's not showtunes and doesn't feature signing and dancing dinosaurs (because they've evolved, you see!) then COUNT ME OUT.

But that's part of the charm! It's silly! The opening lyrics are "Come on in / hang your coats / eat our chips / we've got loads!" and it's all said so earnestly!

It's an installment in a larger piece. It's telling the history and development of the various punk scenes through the 90's.

That's true! Cleveland has won a playoff game more recently than the Lions have!

I think the sequencing is a reason why I prefer this one a bit more. It flows so incredibly well, so I hope that Gira didn't mess with the track order on the vinyl. It's another 3 LP, so who knows.

I'm contemplating buying a jersey because of his name.

I'd be really surprised if they go the trade route. Not many teams do that anymore. My guess is UDFAs.

Who's your opening act? We get Xiu Xiu here in Chicago, which means I get to get yelled at by two awesome and terrifying groups!

Goddamn I can't wait for my vinyl copy of this to get delivered. This is a big, bad, messy beast of an album. I prefer it to the Seer, but not by a lot.

BUT NOT THE CRAPPY FOAM ONES.

Young white America.

And their only notable receiving target!

Fuck yeah, the Locust. At one point I think I had every single thing they put out, plus a shitload of their side-projects (Holy Molar being my favorite).

It's amazing how much optimism Manziel has brought to Cleveland.

I'm happy to see that even in serious situations like these we can still take time to point out that Magna Carta Holy Grail was really, really bad.

This song is one of those select few where if someone says they hate it, then you immediately know that they hate all things fun.

Not even the good Blink-182 when it was all bad and immature jokes and horrible instrumentation! Instead this is inspired by serious and sad-sap bloo bloo Blink-182!

"WHOOP WHOOP. YOU'RE A DRIVE-IN. EAT YOUR BURGERS. FACE PAINT."

IT'S LIKE CHRISTMAS!
