Yo Love, Nichols was on the last Hold Steady LP. It was on sequestered or magazines, then yr man from DBT was on the other… these bros are tight!

@glen tennis, big e: Look out for Steel Panther then. They're trying the (semi-)ironic hair metal pose. I think they're terrible.

word. i don't think anyone would go down swinging for the Clerks TV show.

AD did it BETTER.

THE PRICE IS WRONG, BITCH!

Incidentally, I also broke out the blue 311 album about the same time as Sublime's self-titled. Shudder. My sister loves them, and I went to see them with her in the late 90s. The only concert I've ever been accosted by security at. (Seriously, like five of 'em or something.)

Reg/Unreg… I'M the guy with the gun.

Took me a while to warm up to Yellow House, but I ended up loving it. It's pop, essentially, but has quite a dark feel to it - something that seemed fresh to me at the time.

I don't like Animal Collective
So Veckatimest will probably take the top spot for me this year.

Q:
How many fuzz-rock-pop bands will get critical acclaim this year? Seems like every other week one is getting lavished with praise.

Damn yo. Sounds pretty bad.

Reinforcing the firstie are we, Mr Oates?

I've really
Got to go back and watch "bogus journey". It always sounds too good to be true.
