I'll do it for you: "Dododododoodoodoodoododoooooo…"

One of Gregg's little masterpieces was his cover of Jackson Browne's "These Days." He changes just a couple of words at the end, but in doing so, he makes the song his own. Rest in Peace, Gregg.

Don't look, just keep your eyes peeled for puns.

God, I remember those places. My Dad would hit'em up whenever he needn't a random-ass fuse or wire harness. Dim lighting, lots of home-made wooden shelves, middle aged men with bad haircuts, and the smell of a thick layer of dust… Ahhh, memories.

Experience the confusion of being lost in an Aztec temple, or an Egyptian pyramid, or Lewis Carrol's Wonderland, or a 50's sci-fi movie!

Oh yeah. Just scratching the surface of lady-rock here. And I'm just keeping it to the overtly rocking end of the spectrum. I haven't even touched the less guitar oriented, but still rocking women like Tori Amos and PJ Harvey.

Yup. That year wasn't chosen at random.

Going to disagree here. Part of it is that you have to make allowances for Haynes style and his approach. He's got a degree in semiotics and signs and symbols are his jam. His works often are in communication with what they're talking about and you can't really really separate in-universe from out-universe as cleanly…

Okay, I have to chime in here as a massive Velvet Goldmine fan (I have a painting of Maxwell Demon on my wall) and say that ending twist is anything but arbitrary. It's a commentary on the safe, commercial friendly music coming out in the 80's by David Bowie (and others) who once had been trend-setting, culturally…

Yeah, but, eh, it's all pretty much the same as NY now in that department.

Dude. Yes. Just straight up make an Anabasis movie and call it a loose adaptation of The Warriors.

It's like there's a party in my mouth… and everyone's invited!

I honestly don't have an earliest memory of watching the films because they are so ingrained in my growing up that they're just "there" in my memory. However I do have early, specific memories of the tie-in products. No chronology because I couldn't tell you which was first because we're talking around age 4, maybe…

That MoFo needs to listen to some L7, some Plasmatics, some Screaming Females, some Le Butcherettes, some Yeah Yeah Yeahs, some Melissa Auf Der Maur, some X-Ray Spex, some Runaways…

Always the right answer to "What are you listening to?"

I've spent the last few days mainlining as much Soundgarden as possible (still gotta spend time with Cornell's solo work), but beyond that…

Keep'em poorly educated and you keep'em in line. Bonus points if you have some culture war boogey-man you can wave in front of the traditionally minded masses.

NOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!

I'll just say this: I work in a field wherein I get to see/interact with some very, very wealthy people, their homes and bear witness to their lifestyle. And yeah, when it comes to viewing extreme wealth as a moral issue… I have my moments, man… I have my moments. At the very least, I can confidently say, "fuck these…

… when pigs fly.
