Umm… all pop stars OPENLY work for the man. The major pop stars are all signed to major record labels, by definition they work for the man.

Huh. I've always ordered drinks with no ice anyway, just because I hate when it melts and waters down my drink. Now I find out I've been doing the right thing all along. Sweet vindication, how I've missed you.

I'll be sure to get right on this one.

I can definitively say that, for me personally, if a new album does not come out on Spotify, it might as well not exist at all. I haven't bought a physical CD in years, and the last one was bought on a whim when I ended up REALLY liking the opening band at a concert.

Slayer continuing without Hanneman. I don't like it, but I can understand it, dude is dead, what can you do about that? But continuing when you lose Dave Fuckin' Lombardo too? No, just no. The band is a zombie of it's former self at this point, just stop.

GOODBYE earplugs!  Will not be needing you anymore!

In retrospect there's a lot of filler on Screaming for Vengeance, but between the opening, the title track, and You've Got Another Thing Comin' (was this or Breaking the Law a bigger hit for them?) you can understand it's popularity.  Those 3 songs alone are good enough to solidify the album in the Judas Priest canon.

These assholes haven't had their Musician's License revoked yet?

Protip:  Learn the words to the Weird Al parody about Spiderman, then you can sing those when it comes on instead.

That's just a tiny bit of a douche thing of him to say, @avclub-17c3613df50203d147fc87ccd0f1436d:disqus

Yeah we definitely need something in our school system that allows kids who know they aren't cut out for college to get a head start on some kind of trade.  All I ever heard in high school was "college, college, college" and I was a C- student.  Really people, you think college is the best choice for a C- student?…

Sounds fair to me, if she was using the name to sell clothes before they were.

"So… you ever do any fishing?"

Weird Al phase?  Weird Al PHASE?  I beg to differ, sir, I've loved Weird Al since I was a kid and I STILL love Weird Al.  This is not a phase.  Weird Al is just a genuinely great entertainer with a genuinely great backing band who put on a phenomenal live show.  NO SHAME.

I am also at work, but I have a smartphone, so I can verify.

I just want to never stop punching that guy wearing the DARE shirt.

Hey @avclub-85ffb08f91a83b6566467b942828a560:disqus my brother and sister in law live in Pickering, it's like a 30 minute drive to Toronto, sack up.

Wait, wait, I know this, his wife is Brody Dalle from the Distillers right?

I live in San Diego so I can attest to 2/3 of this.  You still hear The Cure and Depeche Mode on the radio all the time here.  ALL THE TIME.  The Smiths not so much, oddly.

Saw that headlining set.  Killed it.  Albarn seemed way more into it than he did when Gorillaz played a few years ago, he really didn't want to be there that day and you could tell.
