As soon as people realise that the ark is in the Pacific Northwest and Bigfoot is living on Mt Ararat, we'll all be better off.

30% is considered a pass? And with non-expert judges? Here I was thinking that the 40% bar at uni was lenient.

Maybe it's a trans-Atlantic thing, but they really are played out over here (I'm in Ireland, where we also get a lot of UK media). I was trying to narrow it down between that and "Teenage Kicks" by the Undertones; both of them are basically used here as the "default" punk song any time an ad/movie/tv show/etc needs…

Jay and Silent Bob Strike Back; he was a Cardinal in Dogma.

Aw, I just ate a whole plate of dingamagoo.

Even Success?

"Doll Parts". That's the best I got.

I think the titles are coincidental—Bungle's album had its release pushed back so as not to coincide with the Chili Peppers, and Patton wouldn't have done that on purpose; he'd have pushed for it to go out first. Remember, the core band are from Eureka, while I think some of them may have been drafted in from San…

The only thing I don't like is how it seems to have become the go-to RATM song after the fact; growing up it didn't seem anywhere near as ubiquitous as "Bulls on Parade", "Sleep Now in the Fire" or "Bullet in the Head". Maybe it just didn't get the same play over in this part of the world but my perception is it's…

California is great and all (it's no Disco Volante but it's the only one the missus can actually tolerate so it gets spun more) but that might be a bit of a reach—I would say it's more musically linked, with that heavy surf-rock vibe throughout, than thematically linked.

Not the ones I used to live with; but yeah, they're out there.

There's a vein of "fuck everything for no particular reason" that comes after burning out on "fuck this thing for this particular reason", and I think it's where the feeling is at its most creative—I'm thinking of the Angelic Upstarts or some of the disillusioned-with-the-manufactured-Pistols English punk, like X-Ray…

No man responsible for Attila could ever be part of the machine.

Good for her, but we're not on speaking terms after what she did to the rude boy scene.

Thick as a Brick or we're gonna have problems. I will also begrudgingly accept Operation: Mindcrime (but not the sequel), The Lamb Lies Down on Broadway or, for bonus hipster points, The First Seven Days.

Fuck Green Day, I hated them from the moment I first heard "Basket Case", whenever period that's from. Also, how far in advance are these things planned? I'd love to know if anyone's ever gonna cover my own personal bugaboo—The Buzzcocks' "Ever Fallen in Love (With Someone You Shouldn't've)". And before the obvious…

What about the unwritten book of the road? I mean, If it'll get me a few hundred miles across the country, I'll take a shot in the mouth.

Alice's Adventures through the Windshield Glass

I'd have preferred Stop the Planet of the Apes, I Want to Get Off to the Burton fiasco we did get.

I have that lady scientist on my windowsill now—I always thought the grey shading was big ol' pockets.
