YOU'RE DAMN RIGHT WE ARE

This post is literally a work of genius.

redundant

That is trivial.

DINOSAUR AVALANCHE!!!

They are beasts on the mic, just not in the same way as most rappers. They may not be juggling syllables like rap virtuosos but every line is hilarious and their delivery is more nuanced than they get credit for— they're in on the joke, but also totally sincere and non-ironic.

Definitely worth thinking about— we've known that since the Sex Pistols. But also I'm (initially—I could rewatch this and decide I'm totally on board with what it's saying) weary of any story that tears down philosophies without affriming anything in their place.

Agalloch's "Black Lake Nidstang". Or a side from Metal Machine Music.

Award of the Year award goes to AV Club for awarding Bad Religion a "Least Necessary Christmas Album, Atheist Punk Division" award.

Exactly. Some people make great art in spite of severe problems, but never or almost never specifically because of them.
