I really enjoyed that show, and when they first brought the Rayborn character in I remember thinking to myself, "Holy shit, Walter Peck." That only lasted one or two episodes since he is a very talented actor, and over the course of the last season he was the second-most enjoyable aspect of the master plot…

At a Titus Andronicus show last week some tool started shouting "Judas" at the band. I'm paraphrasing slightly since I was a bit drunk, but the lead singer responded "I don't believe you, because we've never really played acoustic… so what you're saying doesn't apply." To which the tool shouted, "WOOO JUDAS" because…

I'm really looking forward to the deluxe release in June. My copy of TSOPTC was stolen years ago and I've never gotten a replacement copy.

Trurl - that was my bible experience as well. Though not raised atheist, my parents didn't put much emphasis on attending church or passing along their own personal beliefs. Both were from very religious regions of the country and had nothing good to say about organized religion and the regular church-goers they'd…

Yeah, NOFX doesn't exactly compare with TL/RX. But I still buy NOFX albums and enjoy them for what they are. 'So Long And Thanks For All The Shoes' is always going to be a favorite of mine, because nothing will ever compare to being 17 and hearing them for the first time.

I read Slaughterhouse Five and Catch-22 at about the same time in HS. It's hard to say which I loved more. I read a lot more Vonnegut than Heller, especially my freshman year in college when I found the caches of used $3 Vonnegut paperbacks at University Book Store.

A few years back I was on a work trip with a coworker and I gave her the option of picking the music from my iPod. She played this song, telling me it was one of her favorites from high school. I kind of recognized the song but I had no idea how it got on my iPod. It turns out my sister had bought it using the…

I love watching shitty sci-fi movies when I'm hungover, giving them the homemade MST3K treatment with my friends. Ice Twisters was one of the movies we saw last year. The effects were terrible, but the death of the farmer on his tractor was poignant in its awfulness. Also, the evil government bureaucracy was the…

Club Dread wasn't great, but it gave the world the line "Do you think Eddie Money has to put up with this shit?" and for that I recall it fondly.

I dig your name Thorzul, although we are of course enemies…

Space Mountain was broken the one and only time I went to DW, so I spent most of that rainy afternoon running around Tom Sawyer's Island.

That's exactly what I first thought of when I read that line, Captain.

I actually saw both interviews. Maybe it was because I was falling asleep at the time, but I thought the Letterman interview was kind of funny. I didn't so much watching Stewart the next night.

First tape: U2, "Achtung, Baby" along with a walkman. I listened the hell out of it at Boy Scout camp, then convinced my parents to buy me both "Use Your Illusions" and the Black Album.

I like the Ted Leo/RX song
so I'd probably try this just for that reason. But fortified wines and me haven't seen each other since I turned 21, so I can't imagine liking it. I used to love Mad Dog 20/20 when I was 19.

Millencolin - man did I love those guys for one summer when I was 18. "Lozin' Must" was THE song I associate with those couple months before going off to college.

One of my favorite episodes of Undeclared involved all the less attractive people on the floor having to stay in the lounge as their roommates got their nightly hook-ups on. Then the D'Angelo video comes on and the lounge becomes a veritable orgy. Such is the power of that video.

I discovered my dad's old stash of Playboys when I was 12. They were all from the late 70's and 80's. Apparently I'd come across one when I was 7 or 8 and alerted my mother, which led to his subscription coming to an end with one of Jessica Hahn pictorials. For about a week I did a brisk business selling a few to…

1980. My earliest memory is of the Cubs losing to the Padres in '84.

I love both songs, but I love "Constructive" more. I recall seeing them play "Constructive Summer" on Ferguson about a month after doing "Sequestered" on Letterman.
