Yeah, Sean Nelson, the lead-singer of Harvey Danger, has been doing the interview circuit lately (solo album, rereleases of HD albums) and has had some interesting things to say about the double-edged sword that was "Flag Pole Sitta."

I can relate to the sentiment. There's a whole category of songs my mom, my sister, and I call "Pool Songs" because that's where we heard them everyday on the radio during the summer. Except my "Pool Songs" come a few years earlier. The stand-outs: Elton John's "Club at the End of the Street", Cheap Trick's "Eternal…

I do love that album. It really is solid from beginning to end.

Pick every song that has been listed in a Hatesong article.

Yep, that's the top three, but I'll also submit Jim Unger's "Herman" and- a little older and not technically a newspaper strip- pretty much everything by B. Kliban. As for new stuff, Get Fuzzy has always been solid IMHO.

This looks to be a bit of a snoozefest.

Wow, new stuff from Veruca Salt and Luscious Jackson?! Pretty good year for fans of lady rock bands.

"SHOW GO BYE-BYE. YOU GO TO POOL NOW."

Man, that show was PACKED. More so for Lenny Kravitz, but still. Packed arena.

He's totally an allstar. How did you know?!

Hey, I was super bored at a conference and it was something to do. I enjoyed the show.

I saw a Lenny Kravitz concert many years ago in Ft. Lauderdale, FL because Smash Mouth was staying in the same hotel I was and the lead singer gave me a free ticket and a backstage pass. After the show I hung out with a girl who was the cousin of the drummer for the Mavericks.

Wait, isn't Tanzania the capital city of Africa? I'VE BEEN DUPED!
