Any Australian's remember Ratcat?  'That Ain't Bad' hit #1 on the Australian Charts and successfully broke punk to the masses in Oct '90, 11 months before 'Teen Spirit', which actually sounds competent compared to how sludgey and half-arsed Ratcat were.

Did the rich, good looking kids actually get into the Alternative Rock bands, other than the more mainstream ones like REM, whom I always considered the unchallenging face of the Indie stuff, much the way The Decemberists are today?

Punk had so many rules about what you were and were not allowed to do it just seemed less conformist to me to not be punk.

If I see Bruce WIllis or Harrison Ford on the box, I'll pass.

What's that one where one of the stories is a guy who has to squeeze through a narrow hallway lined with razor blades?  I saw it as a kid and it fucked my shit up, so I'd love to see it again.

I put a lot of time into T.Rex, and came to the conclusion they, like Blondie, are a singles band, and, not even enough to fill a greatest hits, because it just sounds like increasingly-weaker versions of the same thing over and over.

Oh, fuck that.  Anything played on the radio is, at worst, blandly competent.  Especially In a world where THIS exists:

That's why I enjoy the fuck out of the 'Bat Out Of Hell' album.  It's utterly insincere.  Steinmann freely admits this.  It's an extended parody of archetypal Rock and Roll songs and amps are dialed up past 10 to 'completely over the top'.  I'm surprised the hipsters haven't jumped all over it, because it's got…

One called Beaglehole, and one called Lester.  'Dog's Bum' and 'Molester' to the kids.

Nope.  Dude has a point.

I can't wait until the Economic Collapse so the writers there can learn how financially-worthless specialising in privileged snark is.

Yeah, 'cause no woman has every objectified a man, particularly on Tumblr.

Man Of Steel $635 million - $225 million budget - $150 million for marketing - $160 million for 100 global advertising partners for collective promotional support = not enough to guarantee a new stand alone franchise necessitating Batman for the sequel.

Hey, I thought Joysticks was boss!

Yeah, I had a date the other who told me she read nothing but YA novels, without a trace of shame.  She's 41!

Does watching a show with a laugh track make it funnier?

A flaming gay at work was raving about this Flume guy a few months ago, saying how famous he was going to be.  He played me a track, and i just heard that kind of 'low energy middle class white kid fucking around with a macbook and a pirated copy of Sony Acid' that bores me shitless and i really can't understand why…

Geez, I thought this had just finally fucked off, now it's back already?

Man, Morticia Adams has really let herself go!

Adore was such a flop that new vinyl copies were still cheaper than most  new releases, at least when I bought mine a couple of years ago.
