Think Heller was still a virgin in '94?

yeah, back in the day, I remember, but who says it now? Plus, I don't think any band every said, "our sound is 'college rock'". It, like alternative, are marketing terms. shows me this guy doesn't know what he's talking about

At the end of the article he's basically saying that these guys are soft and must have never experienced any personal difficulties to write such peppy tunes. Look at Harry Nilsson, a deeply wounded guy who wrote happy stuff. This guy come off like a macho asshole who equates angst and toughness with integrity or…

Also… "MAGGIE!"

I read once that David Thewlis based his Mancunian character on Mark E. Smith from The Fall. Incidentally, I became a huge Fall fan not long after seeing this movie

I was watching the Rifftrax version of Island of Dr. Moreau and thinking… "Ah, David Thewlis, I'll never stop loving you." Also liked him in that Rimbaud movie where he buggers Leo DiCaprio

I guess that's why he get's the big bucks

Seems like that garage punk stuff was shoehorned in there. Those column inches could have gone to singing the praise's of Christina Billote, horribly underrated singer/guitarist from Slant Six. Also, Supercharger does not sound anything like the Dolls, just another faded Xerox of the Heartbreakers.

Not if you are serious about letting people know you were a Christian pop punk band with some depth

A million times ugh. This song summons the bile deep within me

I checked those albums out and really enjoyed them! Particularly Rage of Angels. Path of Sorrows was a little to slow for me as a kid but I quite enjoyed it on this listen. Thanks for the recommendations! Haven't gotten to Death Mix but it looks interesting.

Yeah, I forgot about them! I like the first two records a lot (or was team goon and EP?). TSOL as well, Beneath The Shadows was so severely reamed at the time but was a total Damned-style goth record.

I've always been a little intimidated by the later Rozz stuff because it's just all over the place. What would be a good post-OTOP album to check out. I'm also fond of Eva O/Halo stuff, particularly when she feeds her fetish for sixties rock. I'd love to read a book about her because between all the Rozz stuff, the…

Re-reading it I think I missed the glam connection because to me the Bowie song referenced is pre-glam (though, of course, the exact moment of his glammification is debatable), Alice Cooper is good old american Shock Rock and mentioning Bryan Ferry's name alone and not Roxy Music brings to mind sophisticated euro-pop…

I haven't listened to the Fogelnest one yet but I was pretty stoked on Bruer on WTF. He's never really been a guy that I rated as anything special ( i.e. funny enough but the least funny guy in Half-Baked). The McKay revelations are interesting but have no real influence on the way I view his work. I'm sure you…

better to start with season two?

The beautifully written phrases "sassy fratitude" and "shit-eating bro grin glued to his face" had me rolling. Basically the reason why I can't bring myself to watch Workaholics. That and that other guy's hair/dirt lip combo that makes him so punchable. Admittedly, I'm being prejudiced and should probably give it a…

Nice one! Hope to see an article on Wings if there are any time-travel related holidays coming up

The music's not bad but the vocals sound like Brokencyde

Oh man, I hope Slant 6 gets some column inches in the next installment. I adore that band and think Christina Billotte is an often overlooked genius of the 90's
