You tell them, DM! The 'whoa, dude!' thing is one big reason why I don't smoke much anymore. Buying weed where I live almost always entailed hanging out with a 420-type person, and it just became a huge waste of time and effort. I look forward to expanded legalization so I can just buy some goddam pot and go home and…

I have to use them at work pretty often… what bugs me is that almost anything you type in usually has a lot of 'sexy' versions. I don't need a picture of a sexy traffic cop or a sexy cargo van driver. No one does.

I know what you mean… the 8-hour panic rollercoaster I rode the time I ate mushrooms had nothing at all to do with law enforcement, but instead falling headlong into the night sky.

Yikes.

I'm sorry he died, but now that song is stuck in my head… and I hates it! I hates it forever!

I take it you work as a sound guy at a bar?

Point taken… I guess for me the overall 'vibe' of each band is just very different.

I never got why people compared them to The Fall. Maybe because I really hate The Fall, but really love Pavement, and I don't know The Fall's discography as well. But it always struck me as something a critic threw out one time, and then people who wanted to seem in the know kept repeating it. Like saying Oasis is to…

When Madeline Khan does 'Sing After Me' with Grover. It's hard to tell which of them is more warm and fuzzy. Makes me happy every time.

I logged in specifically to defend Pump Up the Volume, glad to see someone else did, too.
While it may have been something that resonated because I was 15, it mostly holds up for me where some other stuff I liked at the time doesn't. Except the ending. They act like Harry's going to prison for years, but in reality he…

The world can never show enough love for Mike Watt.

WHERE'D YA GET YA INFORMATION FROM, HUH?

Must… eat… more Pop Tarts! *growling/moaning/etc.*

Sorry, this has been simmering for a while: I'm super tired of the zombie thing, and have been for a long time. It was slightly funny for a minute about ten years ago. Shaun of the Dead should have been the final word. I've been waiting patiently for people to just fucking stop with it, but no. More zombies. Ha ha!…

I can see that. At the time I was like, 'well, that was pretty good,' but I find myself thinking about it more than I would have expected. And the song at the end is often stuck in my head… 'itchy britches, fiddly digits'

I've never liked Social Distortion. There. I said it. Feels good.

It's like when you buy a sack full of Eggs McMuffin…

I know! Empathy through life experience is destroying the American way. I've scheduled a lobotomy to help me get back on track. USA!!!

I was 20 when Cobain died, and at the time I wasn't super bothered. But in the shots of him as a little kid he looks a lot like my son, and seeing him with his daughter is just heartbreaking.
I've become intolerably soft as I've gotten older, is what I'm saying.

I cannot for the life of me understand why anyone would work as an adjunct. I tried to hire someone out of my Alma mater for a pretty good writing position, and she chose to stay at the university and teach freshman English. I had to restrain myself from telling her she was basically throwing her life away for no good…
