If you don't want to read all of Wilson's testimony, Vox did a pretty good job of dismantling it as "literally unbelievable". My personal favorite part of the testimony is when Wilson claims Brown stopped hitting him briefly to have his accomplice hold the things he stole from the store. As if Brown wanted the cops to…

Not only that, the Justice was the widely esteemed Oliver Wendell Holmes.

If you want to get two Southerners to argue for hours, guide them into a debate over the relative merits of Waffle House vs. Cracker Barrel. I've been in near fistfights over it.

"She said I was seeing double for three straight days after I got born againIt felt strange but it was nice and peaceful and it really pleased me to be around so many people
Of course, half of them were visions, half of them were friends from going through the program with me
Later on we did some sexy things, took a…

I'm with you. Heaven is Whenever is sorely underrated. Hurricane J, Barely Breathing, A Slight Discomfort, The Weekenders… those are some great songs (though it does have some filler, but so does Almost Killed Me)

Oh, here comes the Argument.

I was just thinking that. There is no better introduction to Dischord, other than Fugazi's entire discography (no offense to the many great bands on the label), than Flex Your Head. It's still one of my all-time favorite records. It's very "Dischord" in its egalitarian nature, that every band get 2-3 songs, and it…

I often feel like there is a co-ordinated whispering campaign among Bruce Springsteen fans to smear John Mellencamp. I know it's ridiculous, it just really seems that way to me. Like we can't have two populist American singer-songwriters who write a critique of the American dream from a white, blue-collar perspective.

Yeah, but I doubt Ian MacKaye will be able to get together a bunch of "authentic" slam dancers on short notice again.

I cannot rank their albums, because then I would have to rank one last, insinuating that I do not think all of their albums are awesome. Really, you can't go wrong with anything in their catalog, but Together is a very important album to me and my wife, personally, so that might be my favorite album ever by any artist.

Unfortunately, Love's Labor Lost aired for the first time in 1995, so it just misses the cut. I remember when that first aired. ER was on in the background as we were all getting ready to go out, and that episode slowly just drew everyone in my college dorm in until there were about 30 college kids riveted by the…

I was at the New Orleans show referenced in this article, and I mean this sincerely: it is the single best show I have ever seen in my life. It ended with Flansburgh taking all of the strings off his guitar (during "Guitar" of course) and yelling at the crowd: "There are no more songs! GO HOME!" The review on the…

Does this mean the Obits are breaking up? Because that would make me sad, as the Obits are f'n awesome. I actually prefer them to Drive Like Jehu.
