I've been listening to this whole album all effing week, it's so damn good:

Its been years since I've seen them play together. I'm finally going to see the Oblivians again tonight. In New York City of all places.

Some friends started telling me how much they liked "Portlandia". I asked them if they knew what Carrie Brownstein used to do.



Yeah, she was 1/3 of the world's best rock band for about 10 years.

Had the same conversation with some folks at work a couple weeks ago. They looked at me like I had 2 head. Hopefully they'll check Sleater-Kinney out.

And don't discount Fred, he was the drummer for Tenchmouth.


I saw them a few times back in the day.

In their prime I'd put them up against ANY comers, what a truly great band. I drove to Detroit from Cincinnati four years ago to see their reunion show with the Gories and wasn't let down. Oh and it was weird seeing Danny of the Gories wearing men's clothes.

Sometimes when I listen to Led Zeppelin, I wonder why I should even bother with anything else. There are a few (x10) songs that I could listen too for days and days on end.

It's just a shame that Whitney Houston couldn't have joined them.

[maunahaole]

They could sing The Greatest Love of All together.

Oh snap suicidal! I know its more commercial but this still gets me amped.

You know, being too young for the heyday of hardcore, I really don't get why people would bag on a band like Suicidal for 'selling out'. The later material's got misfires for sure but thats no
reason to jump down their throat.

I saw the Black Flag reunion tour (the Greg Ginn one, not 'Flag') the other day and it reminded me how totally resonant the fucked up alienated weirdo vibe they created was to me at one point in my life:

[Badonkadonk]

this track = top of their game

raw power

i often have it running through my head while i try to get my fat weak ass up a hill

Sell out? No such thing, anything you can do to not sit in a cubicle.

I saw Sick of It All a few years ago and they summed it up best when they said "Thanks for being fans and letting us not get real jobs for the last 25 years."

My morning ear candy today. Pure Pop. This guy deserved much better...if only life worked that way. One of my fave 90's Pop dudes....now largely sunk without a trace. Everyone remembers "Girlfriend"...but there was lots more.

I was at the Ice House the other day and wound up sitting next to a band from Ohio. They were rattling on about how they'd like to record in Nashville; that's where all the good microphones are, blah blah blah. As far as I'm concerned, Nashville puts out super-clean pop music. And as far as I'm concerned, all the best sounds came from shitty microphones. Think Al Green, Hi Records, etc.

$99 mics from Guitar Center today are infinitely better. If I were a genius, I'd make a pro-tools plug-in that accurately captures that sound for every type of mic and instrument. Factor in analog boards, tape, cables, it goes on and on. When we tried to muck up the sound of a track, we used to joke "just hit the Strokes button." But it never mucked up just the way we wanted. It always still sounded like us.

That's the thing that always gets me. A drummer behind my kit wouldn't sound like me. And put me behind Gadd's kit and I don't sound like Gadd.


This came up on a Spotify playlist I subscribe to. Her name is Betty Harris, from Florida. 13-14 seconds in and I said out loud "That's Zig!" That's the Meters backing her.

I fucking love Zig. Hell, I named my dog Zig.
