Since we're clearly not going to count our friends' college punk bands (what's up, Plank Boys?), I'll go with either MC Lars or Flogging Molly. I'm sure I've seen each at least a dozen times, and I'll put Flogging Molly with Andrew WK as probably the best, most electric show I've ever seen live.

It's the greatest of all the Finals Fantasy!

I read somewhere that it was legitimately amazing that Donald Trump is somehow not even the dumbest Donald Trump in his family.

Yeah, a very related follow-up question: As Jesus, can you do something about my bullshit knees? Because the Crocs were pretty good until the edict there.

I have a pair I wear at home. I have awful feet and awful ankles and awful knees, and Crocs alleviate a lot of it. I friend of mine asked me why I don't just get my home carpeted instead, which was stupid.

My wife and I will as well, but only when quoting Metalocalypse.

Checking the ol' Inbox says this will be a good week. I see a new record from Toussaint Morrison, whose last album I enjoyed well enough even if the conceit made it too sample-reliant. I see that my place hooked me up on radio edits from Shredders, which is basically just half of Doomtree (POS, Sims, Paper Tiger, &…

My daughter just recently got into Fiona Apple, but I can't lend her my CDs because she is 14 and therefore does not own a CD player.

What's in the Inbox this week?

The very first time I played Video Games on the air, I tweeted that this was easily the most boring controversy I could ever remember.

Pretty sure in the context of the songs, "immigrant" is used to refer to the physical movement of people from one land to the other, and not the legal status of British subjugation.

Reset!

Even when we disagree, you're one of my favorites, Ghostie.

I liked Helpless with Ja Rule and Ashanti because it was already a Ja Rule & Ashanti song.

I just got the new Denzel Curry in my Inbox, and it is so much fun. Bloodshed had me pumping my fist all the way through.

Well, sure. No matter what you think of Trump or his future prospects, the fact is that W is the one who voluntarily stepped into a needless and baseless war on invented evidence that wasn't even germane to his personal feelings on the matter, and cost over 4000 soldiers and many, many times that many Iraqis their…

I've heard from a number of different sources that, in spite of everything, Sean Spicer is actually a really nice guy. Selling your soul is a hell of a thing.

I'm sure I enjoyed GotG well enough, but absolutely nothing of it stuck with me. It'as one of the most effervescent movies I've ever seen, and usually that's not a bad thing. There was an antagonist, I guess…?

Random Roles with Udo Kier!

I'll stay willfully ignorant on this, just like with the identities of The Residents.
