Entwhistle's bass playing in this song is phenomenal. The whole first part he is just insane!

Moon and Entwistle were so damn good that Jimmy Page tried to steal them away for the New Yardbirds. When he wasn't successful, he found the next greatest rhythm section…John Paul Jones and John Bonham.

I never thought I'd see Gabby Pahinui written about outside Hawaii. His playing is just beautiful, both solo and in the Gabby Pahinui band. Hi'ilawe is one of my favorites from him.

Down Payment Blues. But really anything off of Powerage which I consider their best album.

I just wanted to add that Noel's Very Special Episode about Blues Clues was a wonderful piece of writing. I was a moving personal article and showed how much love and joy his son brings him.

"Oh ya, this Tim Horton's is better than the one across town." says Cam Neely outside a local hockey rink.
I would so watch Diners, Donuts Shops and Rink Snackbars.

The scene where Watt is walking through the park and talking about how he first met D Boon, always gets me. It's when he says, "I was quite smitten with him", you realize just how devastating the loss of D Boon is/was for him and how he still hasn't gotten over it.

I never thought I'd see the day when both Rush and The Descendents are mentioned in the same article. It's nice to see The Descendents getting a little love….and Rush too.

I just wanted to add to the thanks Noel. Two of my favorite features on this site have been these reviews and Popless. Cheers and thanks.

Is the reference to the Fisher King more to the Fisher King of the Arthurian Legend or Gilliam's movie? I don't know but I was curious. It fits with the Arthurian Legend in that the Fisher King needs help to move…which, if you think of Buffy as the Fisher King, she needs Spikes help to move on and take control. Just a

Author's of the West have long struggled with reality versus myth and because of this, I think have been felt that their material has not been taken seriously by the east coast writing establishment. This is especially true for Ed Abbey and Wallace Stegener whose works, even when are meant as nonfiction (Desert

Two words…Smile Time. Ok, it's not the only reason to love season 5 but it's a good one.

You are full of shit, to say he lost credibility on stating that an overplayed album from an aging artist wasn't good is just nuts. Maybe you weren't alive or aware at the time, but to hear a fucked up version of Layla constantly was grating at best. Plus, it was the times (I am just slightly older than Kyle), we were

I've said previously on this site that I like Cringer more than J Church, but I think that's only because I heard Cringer first. Kyle can write about Lance as much as he wants, there isn't enough appreciation for him out there.

Certain Songs
I'm shocked no one has mentioned it yet…so I will.

Jughead!!
Without Jughead I refuse to accept this as Screeching Weasel. So fuck Ben for sullying a legacy of a band I once loved.

Back in the day (to use an utter cliche) I would run into Lance at Epicenter records. He was just a super nice guy. Kyle you did a great write up for his obit. Losing him and Matty Luv within a couple of years of each other was a very sad period for the bay area punk scene.

Lance Hahn
There are a few others out there that loved Lance, although I was a much bigger fan of Cringer than J Church. The dude was a punk in Nanikuli in the early 80s that is a pretty rough place to be if you are a normal let alone dressing like a punk. He was probably 1 of 10 punks on the entire island of Oahu at

The misfits are playing in the background at Willy's Bar in one episode.

Christ, I mean Goodbye.
