Not with that O-Town facial hair, no.

I laughed long and hard at this exchange here.

flower print pants? lol, did she just step out of a time machine from Madewell in 2011?

Tight sequined pants never optional, always required.

The Onion print abandoned SF long ago. I still miss the AV Club print insert; SF Weekly and the Bay Guardian suck total ass.

Holy shit, I don't even remember writing that. I think I was being punchy for some odd reason. My total apologies to nilbog44.

Where is our underground now?

ooo, I forgot that Guyville was 1993. I always thought it was 94 because that's when I got into it.

I was being hyperbolic. apologies, dear sir.

Was it the comment itself or the winky emoticon that warranted the 5 downvotes?

My navelgazing is longer and more loving that yours.

That don't impress me much.

So wait, is Anthony Fantano a self-aware snob or just a self-righteous one? My opinion hangs in the balance!

She's fertilizing that field like a proper green-fiend.

A fresh start over

Midnight crashes, a mother dies.

No thank you for resurrecting Aerosmith out of their 80s stupor and bestowing upon us the most treacly of power ballad like an enormo-shit from the heavens above.

When hasn't competent dad rock attained classic status? The Eagles, Dire Straits, Bruce Springsteen (I said it, I stand by it. The Boss is dad rock). Of course Pearl Jam was going to do the same.

lol, seriously. No, I didn't buy any of those records. And my rabid zine collection and firm ear pressed to the underground kept me from going wrong. I was not part of your nation. I was Alternative Nation (of course, before it was co-opted by the labels and MTV as a subgenre to flog and flog mercilessly).

Absolutely agreed. Put it on and it still is as relevant as it was in 1993. Even the somewhat overplayed "Today" still holds much cultural cachet.
