It's a masterpiece once you pierce the wall of you know

Do you describe yourself by the things you like? Is that what you need in order to describe your personality? If there were no external objects, who the fuck would you be? Regardless of games?

I think if anyone self identifies as a "gamer" then they have a weak sense of self, first of all, and they are probably pathetic and childish at heart, but who's gonna know? Everybody loves Call of Duty 14, like everybody loves Jurassic Park 7. Everybody likes Asses of Kings 89 and everybody likes Titties-n-Cum…

Agreed. And whenever I read an interview or review of Vollmann's stuff, he always seems like the kind of writer I SHOULD love. But there's usually a point when I'm reading one of his books and there's a mounting feeling of annoyance - just a little editing, just a little editing please. The only book of his I've…

Cohen's a good writer, but he has a lot of annoying tics. He reminds me of William Vollmann, but I'm willing to forgive Vollmann more often because of all the wacky shit he gets up to in real life, and the amount of research in person he does gives his books more of an air of authority, or at least they're filled…

Green Day's in there, but the Replacements (/dozens of other bands) aren't? But years ago it got to the point where you'd have to wonder whether or…

While we're reminiscing with our big dicks about noise/punk bands, you guys remember Clockcleaner? Man… Clockcleaner deserved the Top of the Pops. A refresher!

Are you going to the Minneapolis show? I was so goddamn mad when I saw the scheduling. They're playing here the weekend of my sister's wedding. I honestly considered for a moment skipping my sister's wedding so I could see METZ. And I didn't even love their first album as much as apparently everyone else did, but…

Give some love to the Swamp Rats. This song is like Iggy Pop before the Stooges, but more wild than anything off the Stooges' first album.

As long as they don't perform at Oberlin. They'll get in trouble with a name like that. It's goddamn appropriation

You fellas remember the Fearless Iranians from Hell? I wish those guys were still around. That would drive the white people crazy.
