Catching him with Neko is on my list for sure. I can always pick him out on her live recordings.

Counting Archers of Loaf, Crooked Fingers, and solo, I've seen Eric Bachmann at least twelve times in nine venues across four cities and it's never been anything less than transcendent. As a curious side note, at least three of the acts I've seen open for him - Devotchka, Strand of Oaks, and Azure Ray - became

I believe all of those parties are eligible for the Punch in the Head.

I can't decide if I'm pleased or horrified by the idea of Trump bobbing his head to By All Means Necessary.

Now that you mention it, this administration sometimes does seem to operate on a similar principle as the "Thousand Dollars" guys… https://www.youtube.com/wat…

Honestly, "There ain't much to country livin' but sweat and piss and jizz and blood" is the subtext of a huge chunk of modern country songs, but nobody'll say it as overtly as Warren did.

I shudder to think how much counts as "most of me."

It's my most hated song of at least the past two decades. And I've always wondered if he ever took into account that Warren Zevon has another song that directly mocks Skynyrd and the exact culture Kid Rock has been cashing in on since he decided he was a redneck ten years into his career?

These pigs wanna blow my house down!

Heck, Skynyrd's "Things Going On" is a straight up call for politicians to end foreign wars and focus on providing social justice in America's ghettos. I feel like it wasn't until after the plane crash (that is, after they lost their actual creative drive and became purely a profit-based endeavor) that they really

Now that you mention it, I could identify at least 20 people from my school days who've either done jail time for or died from drug-related causes in the past 20 years. Coming from a farming town of less than 9000 people, that's a pretty solid ratio.

After we left middle school and my class quickly abandoned DARE and dove headlong into drugs, my local law enforcement shifted focus and recruited a young-looking trainee as an undercover narc. He started attending classes midway through the semester, wore a Bud Bundy goatee and a Marilyn Manson t-shirt every day, and

"You're not my real father!"

Same as the Source Family!

In the Latin alphabet, "Jehovah" begins with an "i."

Eh, I don't want to slam any of the writers individually. They're all just doing their jobs (and it's a hard job to find these days). I'm just bummed about the industry-wide degradation that forced a once-great bastion of arts writing into reporting on half-formed memes day in and day out.

Oh yeah, I dig Eugene in general, but I've never heard him be so downright lovable as he is in this role.

They went with the idea of it being a regional pronunciation, which yielded some great Kroll bits, but I'm pretty sure Paul was just conflating actor/activist Ron Silver with fellow character actor Henry Silva.

Me, I like the Howl app in spite of its flaws. I'd be fine with continuing to use that but lately it's stopped letting me download or even play deeper archived episodes from the more popular Earwolf shows. So I guess Stitcher it must be.
