Does anyone else really like All Shook Down? I've always wondered how it would've been received if it had been billed as the first Paul Westerberg solo album rather than the last Mats record.

I have a lot of affection for Ultimate Alternative Wavers. "Shameful Dread", "Nowhere Nothin' Fuckup", "Built to Spill", and "Hazy" are some of my favorite songs by them.

The new Souls of Mischief is really fucking good.

The main dude from VR Troopers is also Jim from Boyhood. How 'bout that.

Men at the front make her uncomfortable, for reasons that have been documented many times by now. Her chatting with you before the show doesn't make her position any less sincere.
