Lexicon Devil was great. Darby Crash- what a tragic guy.

What about the Twinkie?

I was gonna plug the Day After The Sabbath blog, too. The guy that pulls together those comps is the master!

How many metal bands have copped the main riff from Holst's "Mars, Bringer of War?" That's some heavy shit right there!

Great soundtrack, too!

"(band x) RIGHT NOW!!" accompanied by shitty photo of shitty band taken from 50 shitty feet away.

"The one with all the shit in her face?"

Ha ha- one of the worst songs ever put to tape. What "deep" college kid
with a Stratocaster knock-off and a practice amp hasn't drunkenly
written that song in their dorm at 2am?

bush lol

I was just bemoaning this phenomenon yesterday whilst shopping at Mississippi Records here in Portland. Just about every classic rock record was a $20-$30 180g reissue! I managed to find an $8 copy of Neil Young's Zuma, but it seemed to be about the only deal to be had in the store.

*this song is on the radio*
Me: What are pumped up kicks?
The wife: I think they're like, snazzy shoes.
Me: WE'RE OLD

I've never seen so many things I don't care about crammed into such a short article. Kudos, AV Club!

It's partially based on the Richard Brautigan story "In Watermelon Sugar," which is about as tender and psychedelic as a story can be. Check it out.

I'm a dyed-in-the-wool liberal and I think this is total time- and money-wasting bullshit, but I place the blame on the overgrown man-children who thought this would be an "awesome" idea. GROW UP.

"Massive failures are depicted as minor setbacks, disappointments as
solid victories, and minor successes as world-beating triumphs." Kinda sounds like a rock n roll Donald Trump.

Santa Claus Go Straight To The Ghetto, by James Brown. The best!

Just heard a version of this song performed by The Fall, from a John Peel session. Was… surprised, to say the least. Jingle Bell Rock-ah!
