Etc.
I really hope whatever Creed you had on your computer was deleted ON SIGHT.

….wtf?

Did i intentionally write "we we high"? No. Do I wish I did? Hell yes.

Hasbro
Hasbro is headquarted in my homestate of Rhode Island and because of that, I just heard this on the local news and immediately went onto AV Club to see what snarky comments my fellow readers would make of this.

The "rise of indie labels that aren't owned by assholes" statement comes from the fact that I met the owner of Dance to the Radio (bassist for criminally underrated British prog-noisepunks Forward Russia!) and he seemed like a pretty cool guy. Hopefully he's representative of other people who own indie labels (i'm of…

Speaking of long-lived cult bands that "Simpsons" writers are fans of, will we be seeing any NRBQ in the future?

TVT RIP?
Wow. That was a shock (they were pretty eclectic: i mean Lil' Jon, Ying Yang Twins, Ministry, Brian Jonestown Massacre, Gravity Kills and Polyphonic Spree all had albums on the label). Now for the rise of better indie labels like XL, Domino, Merge, Mute, Dance to the Radio, Bar/None and other labels that…

They also released "Ever Fallen in Love" one of the very few flawless songs ever made.

A few things
You keep Bread, but not Bis? I need an explanation for that.

Myspace Top 10 Bands of 2008
Only heard of Joe Lean and the Jing Jang Jong, only because the guitarist's sister is Rosay Pipette (the cutest Pipette).

Add this to the list…
of movies that would've been so much better if Zooey Deschanel was involved somehow. I mean, she was the only thing good about "The New Guy" (otherwise a dreadful movie) and several other movies she was in (including the simply average Dave Barry-penned "Big Trouble", and the touch-and-go…

Good thing Pulp'll be covered. I was wondering whether or not they would, considering that they never disappointed like Oasis did and there's probably about 200 Americans who've ever heard of them (a crying shame). Jarvis Cocker attempted to (and succeeded) to act like the coolest person on the planet. I also barely…

They were still pretty good, though. That's the thing about the Foos: they always sound great live and on singles, but they haven't made a truly excellent album since "The Colour and the Shape".

I was just wondering about your lack of Blur. It is a crying shame that the only song that my fellow Americans know by Blur is a song completely unrepresentative of anything else in their catalog. I let a friend of mine borrow "Modern Life is Rubbish", but he returned it to me the next day because he has disappointed…

Do yourself a favor and just get the "An Honest Mistake" single. That's the only other good thing they've ever done.

every time Zodiac types in all caps, Chuck Norris kills a kitten.

Yes, apparently they do. Alot. For instance, Feist's "1234", a single for several months wasn't played on alternative stations (who were playing "My Moon My Man") until the iPod ad.

Bis
I'm one of like six people on the planet who un-ironically like bis (the other five being my girlfriend, Stephen Thomas Erlewine of All Music Guide and the actual members of Bis). Kinda nice to see someone has them (or rather had them) on their hard drive (they do get annoying fast, but you gotta love songs like…

I've compared SSPU to Swervedriver and My Bloody Valentine.

At least it's slightly better than "One Thing", their previous gigantic smash
