I've actually talked to people before about how interesting it would be if there was a show like American Idol, but made by and targeted towards people who are actually serious music fans. With like Elvis Costello as one of the judges, or something like that. It could be interesting, but it would never happen, since…

BTW, start at 1:26 for maximum 90s comedy trailer glory.

FOUND IT BITCHES

You should see the little-known movie "A Hard Day's Night." It's good.

fuck haters please keep commenting forever

Everyone always talks about "Walking On Sunshine" and "I Feel Good"
but here's something no one ever mentions anymore, and it used to be the biggest cliche ever - remember how EVERY SINGLE 90s comedy had that "hey-hey-hey-hey!" song in the trailer? And I'm not talking about the Little Richard song, either. Seriously,…

Well, logically, Brian would kind of be the Ted, since he's the one who lived on to continue doing good work. But in spirit (as well as in birth order), Brian would obviously be the JFK. As for the others…

So is this Q-Tip, the guy from Superdrag, the guy from Korn, or the guy from Folk Implosion? Or is this another one?

I think T-Mobile needs to take the Fender connection and run with it
If the theme is "commercials featuring people with Fender signature guitars," then I eagerly await future T-Mobile commercials starring J Mascis and Thurston Moore.

What I've never understood is why he quit the Yardbirds because "For Your Love" wasn't bluesy enough, and then turns around and does this stupid shit. I mean, granted, he did some pretty boss shit there for a few years (i.e. Cream) and I can't hate on him too much since I'm named after him, but seriously, what the…

About these used record stores: are we talking about vinyl or CD here? As far as CDs go, yeah, obviously Monster is a staple for some reason, which I've always found weird since it might be my favorite R.E.M. album, but whatever. But as for vinyl, I've managed to get everything from Chronic Town to DLO on vinyl over…

Actually, gotta throw in my hat for "The Boy" from Aeroplane Flies High. For a long time I just assumed it was a Corgan song, it's so good.

"Fast One" is a demo that Mike Joyce played on a radio show a few years ago. It doesn't have any vocals, and it's been speculated that it might just be a rough draft of "I Want the One I Can't Have," since they sound pretty similar, but no one really knows. It's never had any kind of official release or anything.

Some Old Bullshit is really just a comp of two EPs, so it might not make the cut according to the specific rules, but it is completely awesome and underrated. The song "Beastie Boys" is absolutely begging to be covered.

I have a weird relationship with Bona Drag. On the one hand, it contains some of my favorite music ever recorded; on the other hand, it feels like a missed opportunity, since there is so much more stuff that could've been on it - "At Amber," "Michael's Bones," "Sister I'm a Poet," "I Know Very Well How I Got My Name,"…

Can I say something that will get me killed on the internet?

WEIRD AT MY SCHOOL FTW

"Talking To Mary" alone makes New Moon essential. If the album was just two discs of just that song on repeat, it'd still be better than 99% of albums coming out nowadays.
