Wait, this is all what [you] got? No typical ska-bandname puns à la “He has intimate knowledge of that genre’s skatalogue of bands.” or “They should turn this into a Skaturday Night Live-sketch.”?! That’s not the [comment threads] in the middle of our [news section] I know! What a Ghost Town! [adds bitter ‘I miss the…

Don’t agree with the assessment of the new Quicksand. Of course it doesn’t have the palpable nervous urgency of the debut 7" (but honestly, not even ‘Slip’ has _that_ energy, and I dearly dearly love and revere Slip, and yeah, album still has energy in spades), but if Schreifels et al had tried to pick it up in, say,…

Some of his criticism is reception-based, coming down to ‘real’ art that is…

While I get that V=IR certainly is an equation, I just as certainly learned about Ohm’s Law in Physics, not Math.
