I have to disagree on G'n'R. At the time I was shocked at how drawn the critics were to that band. There something of a push to equate them to an American Sex Pistols. The big SPIN feature at the time had the writer (I don't remember who) explaining that he friend who was a big Mission of Burma (by this point *that*…

You are correct in that the rock critic establishment NEVER stopped talking about the Velvet Underground.

I don't think music is really marketed as such anymore. It's too hard what with all of the distribution channels legal and illegal. However, music is *used* to market towards people. Think Madden '12 is for 31 year olds working entry level and living with his parents? Wrong! Didn't you hear that Battles song in the…

I didn't understand the intent of this article at all.

You haven't seen the show, have you?

C? Really? If anyone believes this episode gets a C then I'd have to say this show simply is not for you. As someone else mentioned, besides the great animation, action and stories, I love seeing this take on the DC universe. It actually feels quite a bit like the current reboot.

They WILL improve their streaming offerings when the content providers decide they want to play ball. NetFlix is essentially attempting to speed up the obsolescence of the DVD (process already well underway) and BluRay (really, how long did you think that would last? I imagine it will stick around for collectors). The…

It was indeed the Cloister Bell. Calling him back to Gallifrey for the last time? Yes, I know Gallifrey is 'gone'.

I'm wondering where Roy is getting his intel to go on these missions. At least a couple of times he's been at exactly the right place at the right time while presumably the JL/YJ were in the dark. How?

I'm sorry, this show has it all over Teen Titans. And it's not just because of it's more sophisticated pose: My 6 and 3 year olds LOVE it.

C'mere. Gotta tell you something. Closer… closer…. <jellyfish sucked.="" hard="">

I've only ever seen her in Thor and had no idea she was so gifted.

Ha! The White Pride guys weren't even all white. It was a joke albeit a barely detectable one to dumb shits across the globe. The real real pride they took was in wearing wigs and playing sets of all Sabbath songs just to bum out the skins.

Their first album 'All Skrewed Up' is great. Real shame about them.

Definitely a 90s thing, a way to distance itself from Oi! which, even by the late 80s, felt like something old and from a place far away. Stars and Stripes and the Bruisers were almost like tribute acts. Anyway, what label would have bands like Bristle have been on? I seem to remember those MRR ads being some of the…

Ha! You mentioned the Bruisers, too! Man, the used to crack me up. Songs about being a sailor and swabbing the deck. I'm not kidding!

Hands down, the Anti-Heroes were the best US Oi! band. The funniest was the Bruisers. But my all time fave was the 4-Skins. They don't get enough due.

In my mid-20s in the mid-90s nothing made me feel more 'other' than the fact that Garth Brooks was so fucking popular yet I didn't know a single song. Years later I found out that 'Friends in Low Places' was by him but I didn't know that at the time. My ignorance towards his popularity made me feel that perhaps I had…

The you have no marketing savvy. Nah, I'm fuckin' around. I have no savvy. I went to a test screening of Home Alone all those years ago and told them they had great big flopping turd on their hands.

Letting offer some of my marketing savvy to the conversation: Nobody wants this.
