I always hear this about Lars, and I'm not drum-savvy enough to understand why.  What does he do wrong?  Not enough fills?  Unsteady?  What?

Oh, hither and thither.

Might I suggest this video of the gents rocking out on "Relatin' Dudes to Jazz?"

Don't treat me baaaaaaa-aaaaaaad!

"Suburbia.  Shhhhhoot."

They're all lies.  But they're entertaining lies, and in the end, isn't that the real truth?

Sorry to commentjack, but did anyone do the AV Club crossword today?  I solved the puzzle fine, but I don't get the meta-riddle of 59-Across.

'Twas no Gateway, English.  'Twas a full-blown PRIMER.

Pipe down, Giuseppe!

Let me just say this.  I personally followed a pimp who checked in here last night, and he… was… NASTY.

Another thing I loved about Fishbone live, when Fish was still with them: he used to set up his drums facing the side of the stage, instead of the audience.  For what reason I have no idea, but it gave you the chance to actually watch the guy drum, and it was AWESOME.  I've often wondered why more drummers don't do…

Chim Chim was a mess, but it wasn't the beginning of the end.  They followed it up with "Pyschotic Friends Nuttwerx" or whatever the hell it was called and that album sounds fantastic and is a total throwback to the old feel-good Fishbone days.

I was lucky enough to see them on the ROMS tour at the height of their powers, when there were like 10 people in the band and Chris Dowd was doing running slides across the top of his keyboard and trombones were flying through the air like javelins launched from offstage.

Funky bass!

I sure don't.  I hate that whoever-the-fuck-their-label-was decided that a tuneless piece of shit like "Swim" was going to be the all-in, big-marketing-push single that was going to make or break them.  Guess which happened?

I know Chuck Norris knows about his meme, and I think I read somewhere that McGinley is affably aware of his status as Patron Saint of Shark-Jumping.

Wasn't that Paul Westerberg and Joan Jett?  Or is there another version of that cover besides the Tank Girl soundtrack?  If so, I MUST HAVE IT.

Probably the only YouTube comment that ever made me laugh was on a clip of Stevie playing a mindblowing drum solo: "Boy, Stevie Wonder was great at pretending to be blind."

I got it, staircar.
