This song was ok but, for politicized musical collectives from Leeds, I'm more of a Mekons guy.

For me it was Brighten the Corners by Pavement. I listened to that album roughly a million times over the course of the year. LA Confidential is up there too. I remember going to see it opening day and walking out of the theater blown away when it was over.

A new GBV album? Is it already Friday again?

Riff Randell beats all comers in my book.

Someone should punch Jared Leto in the face in every movie. Including home movies taken by his friends and relatives.

From Larry Kroeger to Mozart to a mentally challenged fella in Dominick and Eugene. Hulce had a hell of a varied run there.

And, more importantly, PJ Soles!

"Pow papow!"

As a result of attending a million concerts in the Boston area throughout the 90's, I think I've seen Letters to Cleo more than any band that didn't feature a close friend. And I'm neither proud nor ashamed of this fact.

Yeah, Jesus, I'm guessing an alarm is going off at his house right now.

Chixdiggit is great. I have a small point of pride in life that I managed to get a copy of "I Feel Like Gerry Cheevers" to the man himself through a friend. He was amused from what I was told.

I've been a huge Wrens fan since Secaucus came out. I just wish they could swing an album more than once every decade.

I kind of admire that and the debut album's covers because they're trying so hard to be eerie or something and they just come off as incredibly cheesy.

It's Canada. They're all good guys.

Scatman Crothers needed work.

Well, personal taste is personal taste but I think it's hideous. The colors, the pictures of the band, and the slapped together font for the title and band name just add up to an awful cover on one of my favorite albums ever.

If nothing else, a new Lilith Fair could give angry man-children the opportunity to rant on the internet yet again about how unfair it is to have something targeted toward women while conveniently ignoring the fact that 99% of all festivals are men-only simply by default.

All Mod Cons is an all-time favorite.

Tim by the Replacements wins this one in a landslide.

Different strokes
