CFAmick, those sentiments are perfectly fine on AV Club. The opposite would garner more hate.

Texas has HEBs.

Oh, I still like that stuff. But their earlier crossover-thrash stuff was much better.

I think people will begin longing for Op Ivy. Then they'll start convincing themselves that all the later stuff was better than they remembered.

If you remember the 90s, you didn't die on your living room floor surrounded by drug paraphernalia and weighing 70lbs. And possibly having lost some fingers to gangrene but that's unsubstantiated.

In his defense he was born in Chicago. Unless you think he should be a White Sox fan. Personally, I wouldn't wish that on anyone, Obama be damned.

Always a good sign when the video has the "rage" logo in the corner. There's no finer seal of alt-rock quality. Thanks for the inadvertent tip.

I hadn't heard of Lubricated Goat until about 30 seconds ago, which was coincidentally about the time I read your comment. To Youtube I head!

Who else just got intimately re-acquainted with their music collection?
I haven't listened to some of this stuff in a while. Two hours of Melvins, Muffs, Sludge-Metal and Grunge isn't a bad way to spend a night.

Ah, there is that. Same could be said of Anthrax and Metallica. Hyden could work alternanation band-wagoners into the conversation.

There are worse things to be
"We're about as metal as bands like the Melvins."

Stater Brothers remains in business.

Jesus, shut up about TV Carnage.

Face Sybian: It's a sybian for your face!
I hope beardy guy doesn't mind if I use that close-up for an avatar someday.

"I promise I'll completely overlook at least one of your favorite bands…"

Indie Crowds. Pfeh.
What was with the audience refusing to sing along with the New Pornographers? And the previous night everyone was pretending like they didn't recognize Lady Jane by the Stones. Stop acting cool, nerd cosplayers.

More like OklaComa! Am I right? Because that's closer to what I was referring to.

Classy guy, good player, 42% completion, 1 INT. He won that game because Vick got hurt. Let's stop talking about him.

I usually stay clear of the hipster/anti-hipster bullshit in the comments, but do you really consider *The Smiths* a hipster band? As if they were some marginal, cult band? The Smiths? The quintessential British alternative band of the 80s? Who still get played on KROQ out here in LA? That's nuts and you're nuts.

Have you never heard 'This Town Ain't Big Enough For Both of Us', then? Pity.
