And his high school sweetheart was Lois Layne Staley.

Slowdive, take it easy!

All I want to know is what led Fleming to select the Walther PPK as Bond's weapon of choice, because the PPK really is the coolest-looking gun evar. Was it just a lucky guess, or is Fleming a genius at discerning gun coolness?

I'm not hearing anything Middle Eastern in this song.

SHOUT AT THE DEVIL, motherfuckers.

Nikki has always professed disgust with bands that do multiple farewell tours and he's sworn he will never do that. This contract could be designed to quash any temptation on his part to violate that promise, but I'm guessing it's to prevent other band members from trying to use the Crue name for future shows. …

I'd like to open this record with a steaming turd of a song. If you can sit through it you might be rewarded with a decent song later in the record.

That singer shouldn't attempt this type of song. You can tell he doesn't mean business when it comes to fucking.

If these girls are going to spend their careers calendar-hopping around rock history then I'd like an album that sounds exactly like Rush's Permanent Waves. Dee Dee can change her name to Geh Dee.

Ass sells, and music is a business. If the choice is between eating rahmen noodles and showing butt, you show the butt. Lady Gaga figured out that very early.

So breaking out of stasis for this band means finding another era to recreate in fetishistic detail? This thing is so early 80's it sounds like a lost master tape that someone discovered in a dusty vault at a record company.

Spent at least 10 hours conducting virtual explorations of ruined medieval castles and ancient pagan monuments in Scotland with Google street view and the Undiscovered Scotland website. Probably spent at least a hundred hours doing this since December. Not coincidentally, Jethro Tull is sounding really good to me…

To my way of thinking applying libel laws to the internet is basically trying to moderate the internet like a giant message board. The internet is unmoderated. Today I watched Glenn Greenwald get into a huge shitfest on Twitter with some of the assholes who keep throwing out baseless innuendo about Edward Snowden…

The baby shower at the end of Rosemary's Baby. Hail Satan!

It makes no sense for the citizens of a hick town like Aberdeen to honor the man who destroyed their beloved hair metal. I'm sure many of them regard Kurt as the town's shame and curse his memory.

I'd rather hang with the Hawkmen and Flash after they defeated Ming.

Mao!

Does the 1934 Nazi Party rally depicted in Triumph Of The Will count as a party?

I'm sure we've all fantasized about bringing a Thompson submachine gun to that Ewok victory celebration.

The cannibalism party that the insane naked slave girls held at the end of Blooducking Freaks. They had human heads on platters and were eating penis sandwiches! Any party that has both crazy naked chicks AND penis sandwiches can't be topped.
