Oddly enough, Rich Hall briefly attended Lindenwood University in St. Charles, MO.

"So many scenes, sounds, and styles fall under the umbrella of ’90s punk/hardcore/emo, " Which is why no one was even bothering with the term punk by the early 90s. It was such a liberating thing to extract myself from punk and all its mediocrity. My record collection blew up with krautrock, jazz, prog, noise/power…

I think it's a massive omission to pass on Big Black. Almost to the hour that Big Black broke up Ministry shifted their sound to what you hear on 'Rape and Honey'. 'Stigmata' was largely, rightfully received as a Big Black rip-off at the time but you took it on the chin because, hey, there was no more Big Black.

FWIW, I was 21 when this record came out, had been listening to them since Ultramega OK and had seen them live twice. For me this album indicated that the decline into mediocrity that began with BadMetalFinger was now fully realized. They had traded in all of their art-punk scratchiness for standard rock and metal…

Chris Holmes drunkenly embarrassing himself and his mom in a motion picture, Vince Neil killing the drummer from Hanoi Rocks… it was so fucking awesome!

"What's goin' down, Mr. Peterson?" "My butt on that stool."

I agree that VoV looks like it was entirely videotaped in an S&M night club.

IMO, S22 was great, much better that 23 and 24. Rev of the Daleks, 2 Docs and VoV are all time classics. The next two seasons didn't produce anything approaching the quality of those stories. I'd go as far as to say 23 and 24 are the worst series in the show's history. I'm actually angry at S23 because I was a massive…

I like the way we're not even going to pretend to talk about 'The Ultimate Foe'.

Doctor Who fans can be rather joyless. They can't really articulate the magic that brought them in. But, boy, can they ever wax eloquently about the bits they don't care for. I like the About Time books but there is the distinct air of a series of personal conversations being summed up and you were not part of them.

Sounds like the intro to the Cro-Mags "We Gotta Know!" as played by Telekon-era Gary Numan. Trans Am is back!

You mean super annoying?

No mention of Alan Johnson in 'High Fidelity'? Massive oversight.

Don't be the Killdozer fan who has imagined stereotypes of what other music fans must be thinking.

So you think Exp Jet Set sucks too, eh?

That's a stone cold assessment.

And Heller is one of the good guys!

Yea, but he put the Cows of all people on there and you know he's tight with them, too. I would have left the Cows off because they reached the logical end of that sound, IMO. But BH Surfers… to my mind they blew it bigger than any other band from the 80s alt-punk thing because they had infinity in their hands to play…

"Pony Express Record, the most astoundingly head-fucking rock album to be released by a major label in the ’90s" Boredoms? Also, I think the weirdness of this song is being heavily overstated.
