Please do not denigrate trash or trailer parks by comparing them to Kelly. I refer you to Modest Mouse’s “Trailer Trash” (guess where Brock grew up). Plus attacking racist stupidity by reverting to noxious class cliches ain’t not funny.

A million thanks for this astute, wonderful article. I could only read about Poly and Spex when they hit in 77, as I was trapped in the South and limited to record stores that barely carried The Clash in the pre-streaming days.

These two have committed too many crimes already in the studio. Should be banned from arenas as well. Especially with the uncle Rico look. And after that “zen” flea post.

Guided by a Bandcamp monthly punk post, I stumbled onto “Typical Girls Three,” an anthology of all-female punk. It is amazing, transported me to my teens during punk’s ‘77 advent, and a good antidote to every fucked up thing in the world now, almost. Also discovered Perra Vida, another great new punk band, only half…

Yep, the comment below reminds me of Seinfeld’s noxious variation on the “Talent Conquers All’ saw when he was asked about the lack of diversity in comedy — film, standup, tv. “It’s not the census,” said ole Jerry, as though anyone pointing out the benefits of being a white (straight too) male pitching shows about…

Well said and exactly what I was thinking. Just got back from Guatemala (Reagan/Bush backed interference in decades-long civil war that took 200k Mayan/indigenous lives). Like to see him wear that hat in Antigua. Umpires would be the least of his worries.

“Kinda icky” that it’s the Sox possibly heading to the WS? Fair enough but I have to differ. I’m a New Yorker but bless the Sox for knocking the !(@&*! Yankees out (I wonder if Aaron Judge is still listening to “New York New York” on his boom box. How’d that trash talk work out? Did the HGH make him do it?).

It’s late and I’m going to get the title of my favorite YLT guitar mindfuck wrong “Five-Cornered Drone”? but the repeated chords throughout rank high on their long list of great, great guitar anthems.

After reading this review, I’ve been waiting for this to hit Shudder via Amazon and it finally did today.

As someone who was in college when this piece-of-shit-then-and-now film came out, let me confirm it stunk then (except for people like below who don’t get why the Asian character’s name is a flaming racist stereotype) and IT STINKS NOW.

I am now somewhat skeptically looking forward to this—thanks for mentioning the kittens and their fate. Is there a more tired, predictable plot device (if I see the word “tropes” “referenced” one more time as a catch-all  I am going to implode) than if you see an animal in a film, esp. a horror film, that animal will…

Well said.

Cleveland has never done anything but expertly live down to the greatest and most accurate description of a city ever: “The Mistake by the Lake.”

I think the Yankees’ analytics failed when dosing up that day’s steroid regimen, resulting in the usual suspects’ under-pressure meltdowns.  You can’t find an algorithm for soul but how about HGH? (As I’ve mentioned elsewhere along with many others Judge has the most blatantly obvious HGH chin (google it) this side of…

Thank you longhair: I am sick out of my mind with chronological adults validating juvenile fantasy worlds. ESPECIALLY on American slavery. ESPECIALLY in 2018. Lincoln was flawed but he was a martyr and his Second Inaugural Address is the greatest speech/essay ever written in this country. I love horror movies, I love…

Can’twait to see this. Meru was an amazing film. Jimmy C. is an amazing climber and cinematographer. That film won me over with how gung-ho and macho the climbers were NOT. Soft spoken, determined, dedicated, but not the narcissistic idiots I naively half expected AT ALL 

Agreed! It's easily one of the finest dramas out there. And Ruth's character alone, plus her acting, are one of many things in themselves worth watching for 

Shooting locations in Georgia just outside Atlanta mountainous?

As a Manhattan resident, I thank the noble Red Sox for offing the verdammt Yankees. Again. I love my city but god I hate the Yankees AND their fans, mopes from NJ and LI who wouldn’t come to the Bronx on a dare otherwise without the concealment of their mindless masses.
