Mike Judge. OK, I never got into "King of the Hill", but "Beavis and Butt-Head" had a huge impact on my pop culture tastes as an impressionable 13-year-old, and "Office Space", "Idiocracy", and "Silicon Valley" (so far) have been very good.

Mary Timony, one of my great 15-year-old nerd indie rock crushes, telling us why she hates one of the douchiest songs from one of the douchiest douchebags out there. This is the greatest thing ever.

"Lose Yourself" by Eminem. Yes, I've given this question a lot of thought, the "what pro athlete would you be, and what would your music be?" question. I'd be a MLB closer, with really long hair (the Yankees can kiss my ass) and would come in from the bullpen to "Lose Yourself".

Yeah, 2 years ago when my vintage 2005 iPod was going senile, I ventured into an Apple store and decided to buy the 160 gb classic over the touch because I really didn't want anything except a music player. Now, I guess I'll have no choice with my next purchase, when my current one inevitably bites the dust. This…

This is probably the 100th time I've mentioned this here, but "Beavis and Butthead" introduced me to so much great music that wasn't being played on the radio like Nirvana was. Sonic Youth would be at the top of that long list.

Rec for the "Billy and the Boingers" reference.

Shouldn't this list begin and end with "Stairway to Heaven"?

Did her show feature Mr. Bungholio and his twirling fartknockers?

Except for, perhaps, "Down on the Street", and "Loose". I'm actually not sure which 1-2 combo I prefer. Damn, Iggy knew how to open an album.

Great, great record, particularly "Search and Destroy", but "Fun House" will always be my favorite thing Iggy ever did, and just about my favorite thing ever.

I'l defend "Throwing Copper" despite "Lightning Crashes" until the day I die, but I can't stand anything they did after that. It's like they figured the way to eternal rock stardom was to write more "Lightning Crashes" type songs, and disregard true masterpieces like "White, Discussion" and "The Dam at Otter Creek".

"All I Want" vs. "Found Out About You" would be my face-off.

Amen. Catchy pop-rock on the surface, with a creepy stalker tale underneath. I think I'm going to go listen to it right now, while resisting the urge to check out the Facebook pages of any ex girlfriends.

Thanks for this post on how much 1994 was terrible. I was a naive 14 year old in '94 who had recently fallen in love with rock music (thanks in large part to Nirvana) and had, several years before, become a huge baseball fan. The suicide of Cobain and the baseball strike really hit me hard in a way that it took me a…

One good thing about Lucero is that you don't have to worry about Ben Nichols' chain smoking wrecking his voice…

Well, they are good ol' boys from Tennessee….

Seen these guys open for Social Distortion, and twice as the headliners at small NYC venues. They're a lot of fun.

Can we get WBC to picket a Weird Al concert and then parody one of his songs?

Yes on the "low hanging fruit" part. Can we get someone to hatesong on a track from "Highway 61 Revisited" or something? That would take cojones.

Fuck it, I'll admit to still throwing Sublime songs on iPod shuffle now and then, maybe only for nostalgia purposes, but I do it. Yeah, they're one of those bands where their fans make them close to intolerable, but I really don't want to judge a band by its fans. It's not Zack de la Rocha's fault that Paul Ryan…
