I fully admit to enjoying it with no reservations, same with Your Highness. If you were expecting anything more profound/better, why were you watching either one in the first place?

Two of the songs on the LP ("Think" and "L.A.D.O.C.H.") have screamy type vocals but the other six, which includes two instrumentals amazingly enough, have cleaner vocals and tons of different vibes. It's well worth checking out the rest of the record.

Slightly off topic but still pertaining to Parks & Rec, check this out - http://newtgergich.tumblr.com/ - I got it from an old high school buddy who is a nephew of Jim O'Heir, which is who apparently shared it on Facebook. 

I was all ready to be the "I still love Party Down but I can't stand the Megan Mullally character" guy when she was announced as Jane Lynch's replacement, but turns out she's a genuinly funny person. It's a shame she was saddled with Will & Grace for so long and didn't make it into the weird-comedy subculture earlier.

This band is amazing. Leave Home honestly sounds like it could have been a compilation album with eight different bands on each song yet manages to flow together so well. I'm pretty excited to hear the new one and even more excited at the quick turn around time.

I know John Kerry was in a cold open later down the line and didn't a one time Secretary of Defense come in?

Lee is my least favorite member of Sonic Youth.

Yes, yes it does. The first three episodes are good but "Racial Sensitivity" is the fourth one if my memory is correct (I'd check Wikipedia, but, you know) and it stays at the high plateau from there. The daughter is really only in half the episodes anyway so don't let that keep you away.

In doggy heaven.

Fuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuck the Gaslight Anthem. God I hate that band.

I don't really watch Fallon unless there's a guest I like but I will say I really enjoy when he's had Tina Fey or Amy Poehler on and they've used the second half of the interview section to play games with two audience members. When Fey was on last week they used what seemed like 10 minutes of the show to play Celebrit

More Mike Watt is the coolest info; when I saw the Stooges back in '07 I was one of the first people up on stage after Iggy let everyone up there. When the song was done Watt was screaming out of pure joy then wrapped me up in a bear hug and lifted me a solid foot and a half off the ground. It was one of the coolest

But #2 has an amazing, otherwise unavailable Husker Du tune in the form
of "Erase Today."

And the fact that they re-released all the early stuff on every format
imaginable at some point around the same time: 7", 10", 12", mini-CD,
regular CD, cassette…

I'm of the unpopular belief that the only two all the way through great Descendents LPs are Milo and Everything Sucks. All the other records have their share of great songs but they also get bogged down with crap.

Really? I don't think I've listened to 10 1/2 in at
least five years. It sounds so sterile and Rollins' voice is shot, plus
the song selection is "meh." Even though it's not perfect I much prefer
Live '84, though the best live Flag material I've
ever heard is the Live With Dez bootleg I found on
some blog awhile back.

"Stereo Sanctity" is the song that got me over the hump into being a legit Sonic Youth fan. So ridiculously good.

For something like this my vote goes to no even though a solid 85% of people who own the album probably have the SST version.

My favorite part of that whole thing is that on the cover the speedometer really does read 55.

Oh SST, the label that has one of the highest "Great fucking record" counts yet at the same time the lowest percentage of actual good records of the total catalog.
