Was thinking the same thing about Jackie and Judy (of "Judy Is A Punk").

28 years too late for Tommy, FREYA!

I remember sitting down as a family and watching the episode where Chad Lowe's character revealed he was HIV positive and then discussing it afterwards. The scene with the father throwing away his cherished glass because Lowe's character had used it still sticks in my mind. Yet looking back at Life Goes On and a lot…

That is, of course, unless The Dissolve is going to attempt to frame The AV Club for holding up a convenience store and then try to kill the 10-year-old boy who thwarted its scheme every year or so after that.

Which made me think of this:

Waldo and Marsha, The Velvet Underground, "The Gift"

Off came those awful toe rings

Ex-Military is my favorite; musically I think it's their best, probably because I recognize so many of the samples and like what they did with them. I like Government Plates too, but it came out last year (as already pointed out). I've honestly heard too little 2014 music to make a balanced assessment, but I like the…

Just listened to Dance Hall at Louse Point last night. Not as good as the PJ Harvey albums from the same period, but well worth checking out for sure.

I absolutely love that album, but hearing it for the first time I was quite taken aback by how prominent his voice is in the mix (and I was listening on headphones, too). That, and by how blatantly Beck stole from the opening track for "Paper Tiger".

It was late 1992 for me. I was lucky enough to have a friend who lent me his copy of Doolittle, which he picked up while travelling across the USA the previous summer. I was into Nirvana by that time and had read about Pixies, but it probably would have taken me much longer to get hold of any of their albums in rural…

That would make a lot of sense!

Trompe le Monde is a great album, it really is. And side two has some great songs, too; I just listened to the whole album again earlier after leaving my previous comment, and while I wouldn't give it the classic status of the first three it's still a "four-and-a-half star" album.

Never thought Title TK was as good as Pod/Safari/Last Splash, but it's definitely an underrated gem of an album. And I don't remember a whole lot about Pacer by The Amps or Go To The Sugar Altar by The Kelley Deal 6000, but the singles from each album ("Tipp City" and "Canyon", respectively) were great and also spoke…

The correct answer (for me, anyway) is whichever one I happen to be listening to at that given moment.

Sorry, but I love "Broken Face". Pretty sure singing (or rather screaming) along to this song with some friends scared off the remaining customers one night at a bar we liked to go to, and with our Surfer Rosa/Come On Pilgrim soundtrack blaring through the now empty bar we continued to drink Zombies and scream along…

I think the first side of Trompe le Monde is pretty solid, and I absolutely love Joey Santiago's guitar on that album too. The best way I can put it into words is to borrow from a retrospective review I once read where the reviewer said something like "it sounds like he's trying to murder his guitar, but in the best…

I actually started out with a taped-off copy of Doolittle on one side of a 90-minute tape with Trompe le Monde on the other side and picked up the Rosa/Pilgrim CD soon after. It was a couple of years before I could track down affordable CD copies of the other two though, and during that time I listened to that tape so…

Doolittle is one of only two albums that I played to death back in junior high that I still regularly listen to from beginning to end today; the other one is Surfer Rosa/Come on Pilgrim (I still have the CD with both albums on it, so in my mind they're inseparable).
