Never heard of the band before, but this pull-quote on their website sounds totally up my alley: "“The trio have their own unique blend of grunge, garage-pop, and punk-influenced rock and roll that sounds like the lovechild of Nancy Sinatra and Black Sabbath." Maybe I'll check 'em out. . . naw. . . then again. . . naw.

Aw, now I have to go look at the thread to decide for myself how stupid the comments are.

So many legends gone in 2016, and the year's not even half-over yet.
GOAT.

His whole life was a middle finger to racists. I hate to think Muslim-hating Trump will probably salute Ali on Twitter. Pathetic!

Better question: Who's that dork in the middle cos-playing as Josh Modell?!

Years ago I was visiting L.A. and checked out this cemetery. I couldn't find Dorothy Stratten's gravesite (with it's great Hemingway quote, in Bogdanovich's typical bombastic style), so I asked an employee. He helped me find it. Then he asked, "Did you see Robert Wagner when he was here a few minutes ago? He comes a…

I'd like to see what Bill Plympton could do with the Kitty Genovese story.

Thanks, Man from the future, for the nightmares I'll have after reading in detail about Babi Yar. How can civilized people do such things? The great question of the 20th Century…

On reflection, you're right!

You may have a point, but I don't think it's a relevant one. This review is awesome!

Victoria's "The Q" FM station used to call The Hip "our house band", they played them so much. This was in the '90s, though.

Perfectly said.

When I was a teen, my family sometimes went south on long weekends to stay a couple nights in Bellingham. I spent hours scouring the stock at Cellophane Square.

I guess I have to be grateful that there aren't more Vietnamese hooker jokes here. I knew there would be a few. It's such an easy joke to make. But given that the vast majority of Hanoi's population is under 30, they've moved on, folks. 40 or 50 year old references are about as relevant as referencing Tokyo Rose in a…

I hate "Girls" because of the casual misogyny, of course, but also because it gets played on my local modern rock radio station more than other Beasties song. I suspect that it's the favorite Beasties song of many (less than hardcore) fans, which is aggravating. I assume the band pretty much disowned that track 25…

I think life is so brutal you have to take whatever joy you can find in it. I don't begrudge anyone a bit of happiness.

I always loved The Allies. "Emma Peel," anyone?
