I like this song.

"Whipped by Cossacks" is the coolest thing a person could ever put on a resume. I would hire literally anybody who had that on their resume.

We have reached critical mass. Dave Grohl has been in so many rock bands that future generations will use "Dave Grohl music" as a catchall term for all rock music.

Is Billy trolling us? This project has a Spinal Tap meets Borat meets Yoko Ono flavor about it. If Billy starts talking about "following the hawk" you'll know he's fucking with us.

Ellen Page became a gay. Also, I listened to the entirety of Blood Ceremony's The Eldritch Dark on youTube. It's really catchy hard-rockin' folk-metal. It will probably be my next music purchase.

No love for George Romero? I scrolled all the way back through 1,360 comments and searched the page for "Romero" and nothing came up.

Global smarming?

Do the digital twinkles include pink hearts, yellow moons, orange stars, and green clovers? That would explain the Irish accents.

Guns N' Roses? It was all downhill after Appetite.

Wtf? A rock supergroup featuring Dee Dee Ramone, Ozzy Osbourne, Nick Cave, and Random Guy? How have I not heard about this until now?

Bloodsucking Freaks has sauteed eyeballs and penis sandwiches. Imagine eating a penis sandwich and thinking it's a gag penis, but no — it's a real penis! Ewww!

Tom Petty will buy it.

Should have used "punkbowl" instead of punchbowl. Wasted opportunity for a pun. Maybe some other time.

I've got the munchies for a California Cheeseburger.

Are we allowed to mention that MxPx's "Chick Magnet" came out in 1996? The 1996 punchbowl was not turd-free.

Lotta embarrassing cheesy punk came out in 1997, but 1998 was the year when Offspring's Americana landed, which was punk's Cherry Pie, and people knew it even at the time. It was embarrassing even compared to the embarrassing shit that had preceded it.

I get the feeling his daughter picked contemporary country precisely because it would annoy the shit out of dear old dad.

BTW, how did that article get written without one mention of Offspring? As I recall they hovered over mid/late 90's punk like a noxious odor and threatened to discredit the entire genre.

That Sleater-Kinney song is badass. I've always meant to check them out more thoroughly but somehow never get around to it. These other bands however, can suck my dick. Well, maybe not Aus-Rotten. They are not particularly original but at least they project some real anger and intensity.

Romantic comedy as a genre is an aggressive assault upon the intelligence of the viewer, and there's really no need to delve into the particulars. The stock review of every romantic comedy should be
