I don't know, something about QOTSA, and Homme in particular, always rubbed me the wrong way for some reason…like, it's the token "heavy" band for people who don't really like heavy music; like people I knew who actively sought out and bought stuff because they heard it on the radio (seriously, who the fuck listens to…

It's about time there was some good news around here.

Hmm, and here I thought Kim dumped Thurston because he is slowly morphing into one of those Men-Who-Look-Like-Old-Lesbians.

I just rewatched this on Easter Sunday while the wife & kids were gone easter egg hunting (because that's the kind of weird blasphemy-loving bastard I am)…I freakin' love this movie; and I have to say, although I haven't done acid in well over 15 years; if for some insane mid-life-crisis-inspired reason I ever decided…

This, exactly. I love the ending; it's like he's saying all this shit, the Tarot and the astrological stuff, the religion; (all of which you can tell he's really into and knowledgable about); but it's all basically just distraction or escapism, just like a movie. You can spend all your time, all your resources seeking…

"Album" was my first exposure to PiL, so I've always had a soft spot for it myself.

No more Loud? Booo! Booo, I say! This is one of my most anticipated features here, and one of the few I ever feel like coming out of the shadows to comment on. Dang.

Y'know, I kind of liked the Yeah Yeah Yeahs back when they sounded more like the Jon Spencer Blues Explosion being fronted by Siouxsie Sioux; but ever since they went the cheesy new wave/disco route they've just been boring. This song does not change that opinion. Video's nice to look at though (albeit in a very '90s…

Man, 'Silver & Gold' chokes me up every time I hear it!

Count me as another fan of "Lose This Skin"…I would probably rate in my top ten Clash songs of all time (even if it's kinda not a Clash song)…but then, I'm one of those people who also likes the entirety of Sandinista, even in all it's druggy, dubby, sprawling, self-indulgent glory.

Somehow I have let Plow United pass me by, but based on that new track, I've got a little catching up to do, that shit is pretty right on (and an Avail comparison will always get my attention!)

Deep Six recently put out a 7" with the first Charred Remains/MITB ep on one side and the first Bastard Noise on the other, as well as a reissue of the MITB/Aunt Mary split 10". And not too long ago Gravity put out a reissue of the 'Thoughtless' LP…another one I grabbed as soon as it came out!

I got my copy of the Spazz reissue in the mail today…I just dropped the needle, then clicked on this article wondering if the Glory That Is Spazz would get a shout out. You don't disappoint, Mr Heller.

Honestly I can't think of a bum song in their entire catalog (ok, maybe a couple of the live tracks off Politics of Time, but that's just for the sketchy quality)…but, as my username indicates, I might be a bit of a fanboy.

For a college creative writing course I once wrote a piece titled "Pome for D. Boon's Ghost" which was written late one night while jacked up on coffee and listening to Dream's are Free, Motherfucker on repeat.

I watched the screen during mine as well. It *was* rather fascinating; as well as being the only way I could try to take my mind off the fact that there was a cute nurse standing behind me, inflating me like a balloon and listening to the, ummm, fallout of said inflation.

Ugh, sigmoidoscopy. Most humiliating, uncomfortable, degrading thing I've ever experienced. The two colonoscopies I've had since then paled in comparison.

Something something Human Butt; something something End Of Silence.

I just thought that song gave me chills the first time I heard it on cd, but then I heard it live…Jesus!

Love this song, love this album. Love all her work, really.
