God damn the Fun Fun Fun Fest keeping them from playing Houston. :(

Let's see, I got into Sophtware Slump when it came out in 2001, which put me 2 years out of college and essentially the right age for that.

McKay messing around with Edgar Wright's script sounds like a recipe for tonal disaster.

He only has two episodes of Mr. Show credited, although he's got a dozen UCB's to his name. But both of those sketch shows were defined by their writer-performers, not by their directors.

It was. Patton had a crappy long black wig on and was shirtless and had the Anthony Kiedis swaying thing going on, too.

I'm gonna go with Dredg's El Cielo for a general concept album, and for story it might be Coheed & Cambria's In Keeping Secrets of the Silent Earth: 3, as impenetrable as it is for someone who doesn't do additional research on the story.

Scenes From a Memory is excellent, but I may like "Six Degrees of Inner Turbulence" even better.

I returned to The Sophtware Slump last year for the first time in years and was disappointed that the whole thing didn't hold up as well as I'd hoped. Still, there's a lot of great stuff on that record.

Well, I saw Mr. Bungle on Halloween for the California tour, and their musical costume for the night was pretending to be the Red Hot Chili Peppers, right down to playing a shitty cover of "Scar Tissue". So there may have been something to that rivalry.

Frances is flat-out amazing for long stretches, and then it's almost unlistenable for other long stretches. The amazing stuff makes it worth sitting through the meandering crap, though. "L'Via L'Viaquez" is awesome.

I'll disagree with "Drawing the Line". I really like that song.

I think Grace for Drowning is his best solo album by a wide margin. For Porcupine Tree, I can't decide between Stupid Dream and Lightbulb Sun. In Absentia was good because it put them on the map as far as actually drawing an audience, but it's not their best.

Make sure you're watching Gravity Falls, too. She's a regular on that show.

Considering that they've gradually but completely phased out their optical drives over the last few years, this doesn't surprise me at all.

Robocop bounced his pitch in the dirt, something approximately 70% of ceremonial first pitchers do. This was nowhere near on the same level of shameful as the 50 Cent pitch.

I was bummed that this cut didn't end with that.

Just go on Youtube and look up Suburban Legends. All the ska covers of Disney songs you could ever want. Or, you know, if ska covers of Disney songs aren't your thing, then don't do that.

My copy of Les Claypool's Duo de Twang album says otherwise. Sure, technically it's not Primus, but there are like 8 covers of North American artists on there.

I like Doughty, but man that would be a recipe for disaster.
