Vacation taught me, as a very young man, that I enjoyed boobs.
Seriously. 8 years old, had no idea what was really going on, but I would rewind that scene and watch it over and over again.

Ah, so now we see the REAL reason Sam Hyde isn't making shows there anymore.

If you ever do decide to go for it, get a splatter guard. The first time I made it I had to spend an hour cleaning the grease that covers the whole range area.

Don't go see him live, then, particularly if he's opening for the Swans. He just tries to out-Gira Michael Gira, plays no actual songs, and is intent on walking the room. It's tiresome, and I'm a noise fan.

The Fragile is godlike IMO - I'm listening to it right now. With Teeth was the one I couldn't (and still can't take). They won be back with Year Zero, though, and I've enjoyed almost everything since (notwithstanding "Everything").

And then you listen to it, and it's lazy garage rock with no atmosphere at all. Riot Act had a couple of great songs, but I haven't been into anything after that. Still a great live act, at least.

Probably get heat for this, but I'd say Discipline for Crimson. Not that it's a bad album, it's just not King Crimson, and wouldn't have been called that but for the record company's meddling.

See, I'd take Real Gone over Frank's Wild Years (ducks). Marc Ribot's solo on "Hoist that Rag" is so good it's worth the price of admission alone. Maybe my favorite bit of guitar ever.
I'd encourage you to revisit Alice and Blood Money, as there's hardly any filler on those. Some of his most affecting and heartbreaking…

Goo is kind of the breaking point for me. Sure it has "Dirty Boots" and "Mote," but it's like a different band. Dirty solidified it for me that they were just taking the piss. I like Kim Gordon a lot, but her songs are just terrible. "Kool Thing," "Mary-Christ," especially "My Friend Goo"…ugh.
When I first got into…

Butthole Surfers' Electriclarryland is a steaming pile of shit that spits in the face of everything that made that band great. Independent Worm Saloon has its detractors, but that album is a rock behemoth. ELL makes me sad. Half of it is ripoffs of their own previous songs or those of others (tell me "TV Star" isn't…

Dude we used to be liberal. I've seen this shit happen in the last two decades.

I'm a …barf … constituent of Tom Cotton. He's a loathsome, horrible piece of shit. I know people who went to school with him and who served with him overseas. Don't ever buy into the "downhome family man" image he tries to sell. He was a high school bully, and I'm led to believe it was only through sheer luck that he…

Then he said, "I've read 1984 12 times! None of you know what you're talking about." I responded with a picture of the like 12 Orwell books and studies I had on my shelf and asked, "Do you really want to do this, man?" Then he called me a nerd.

I got into an argument with a guy on a friend's FB feed the other day saying "1984 wasn't about fascism. It was about the Left! Orwell hated the left!" I pointed out that he was a Trotskyite anti-Stalinist socialist who fought with the communists against the fascists in the Spanish Civil War. His response was "That's…

That's interesting. Cause I just recently became a fan, and it wasn't the vibe I got at all. If anything, he reminds me of Scott Thompson from KITH.

This is how I was exposed to Monster Factory (and the McElroys) as well. Had a super bad cold and had to call in sick a couple days. Binged most of it.

Shit, it was actually The Pizza Man. They used to play it all the time in the afternoon on Comedy Central in the early 90s with Back to School. I wonder if it was part of the PI contract that they had to stop.

AV CLUB COMMENTER SHINES LIGHT ON PEDOPHILIA APOLOGIST BILL MAHER

The Pizza Guy's Bill Maher? Say it ain't so!

If he's an Ann Coulter wannabe, does that mean they were fucking and doing lines in Maher's dressing room after the show?
