Quite unsuccessfully, The State.

Never held it against her to begin with, personally.

It really is hilarious. I can see how the frequency might annoy someone — that channel only has like three shows, and shows each one in about sixteen hour rock blocks.

Oh, if Impractical Jokers is critically reviled, then that's my answer. That show cracks me up consistently.

Depends on the critic, but I'm probably err on the side that it's the kind of show that's downright made for critics.

For the Butthole Surfers, ouch.

Man. I understood calling that first Beastie Boys album just fine, but this is one of the all time classics.

For now, just a note, you're being thoughtful about this, and I appreciate that.

I know death metal's about ugly things, but I think there's a difference. For example, if it were uncovered that the guys in Pungent Stench actually were into killing people and having sex with the corpses, they'd be jailed, and I think even most death metal fans would go on to feel uncomfortable listening to their…

Yes, I think that's well said.
Christ, I actually dressed as a Nazi to an elementary school "night of the notables" event.

Your original point being "don't forbid people to listen"? Then everyone else can go back to their original response, "no one is doing so."
Your big problem is that the author wrote that the community would be stronger if people didn't embrace people who openly espouse ugly views? A) He has every right to write that,…

"dude was a full-on Nazi!"
This is a particularly thoughtless take on what it means to be a Nazi.

Yeah, I agree with all of that. I mean of course there are some who'd not agree that T.G. was artistically justified, but… If someone appears to be just straightforwardly advocating Nazi/fascist/whatever-the-case-may-be, that's different.
And someone like the Death in June guy, who in my understanding has spent…

I just wouldn't even think about that, personally. I mean, if I were listing Blood on the Tracks as a top album of the '70s, it wouldn't slow me down that Dylan's more a figure of the '60s.

I don't know. My first thought was that this article mostly focuses on people who seem very obscure to me. And my second thought was that I don't necessarily not trust artists to make use of dangerous ideas and imagery. Throbbing Gristle used fascist imagery sometimes for whatever exactly you want to say their…

I missed this until it was mentioned in the article posted today. Man, what nonsense from Tom Araya.

Well, I don't think there really is reason to consider Slayer or Lemmy Nazis. I think there are various things going on. The guys in Slayer kind of seem like doofy dipshits — like, say, Phil Anselmo — who also enjoy upsetting people. Lemmy's collection of memorabilia I think was a personal thing that fascinated him…

I doubt I could fill an alphabet for this decade. Afroman, William S. Burroughs, Nick Cave and the Bad Seeds, Stuart Davis, Eminem, The Flaming Lips, Grinderman, Grant Hart, Iron & Wine, Jam Handy, Kate Kennedy, Longmont Potion Castle, Melvins, Negativland, OutKast, John Prine, Radiohead, Elliott Smith, Tribes of…

Oh, yeah, that's the name.

A beefmanteau.
