Neither was "Hoop Dreams." I think it may be a Steve James thing at this point, because it's getting ridiculous at this point.

Intriguing. Also, my brain automatically dialed up a country version of "Bodies" which made me laugh out loud.

Also, someone named Señor Coconut made a Latin-flavored Kraftwerk tribute album called "El Baile Aleman" and it is much, much better than the previous words would lead you to believe.

That's the one, love that record.

Just watched both last month, seconded on all points.

Have you checked out Kraftwerk's live recordings from a few years back? They're incredible.

It always struck me that "hardly used" would have hit harder than "never worn." But he's Hemingway and I'm me, so…

Many Happy Returns, Lupin! Incidentally, that vegan hot fudge turned out wonderfully and was a big hit on Wednesday, thanks again!

I've never heard of Rosie Flores, but based on proximity, I'm Spotifying right now!

As an uncle ten times over and godfather three, this is truly the best of situations! Kids are best in small, lovable doses. 😄

Watched "Life Itself" which was incredibly good (the Oscars this year are bullshit), and Ms. Joyce and I watched the first four episodes of "TransParent" which are heartbreakingly fantastic. Reading Slaughterhouse Five out loud to aforementioned lady (Poo-Too-Tweet!) and finishing Plato's Five Dialogues. Happy…

Oh My God! (Runs woozily in circles) it's my archnemesis!! Run!

I'm covered like that, in my mid thirties, regret none of them. Same goes for my wife and friends. People with that many tattoos that aren't gang related, racist, or drug fueled rarely regret them, I've found.

Cheers, by the way, fellow traveler! As for the emo thing, it was an at a distance thing for me too, all the older folks I hung with were in bands like Cocknoose, Cretin 66, Sex offenders, etc. the scummier side of the punk tracks. Less button ups, more Mentors shirts 😄. As for the skins, it sucked a bit, but for the…

Well then, we all agree. I honestly thought that I would be fighting more of an uphill battle there (looks at carefully indexed notecards full of pro-Fu points) I'll just put these back in the ol' debate crate.

Um, new record? That's awesome! And I agree. I love Kyuss but I listen to Fu Manchu more often.

We're talking the original wave, not the mall/MTV friendly later stuff. I'm pretty sure Planes Mistaken For Stars knew their way around Black Flag's catalog. Just also Hum's.

Absolutely. You get one band: Kyuss or Fu Manchu, who you picking?

Maybe I was just too young. I was born in '80 so at 14-17 (the big years) I was still super excited about everything but mainly knew the other suburban punk/weirdos. Also, we had a big nazi skinhead influx in those years which was countered by their SHARP counterparts, the Hooligans. Unfortunately, when they couldn't…
