Surgery Was Long Gone In 2012--It Ain't 2012 No More

You're old.

Surgery was a good band tho.

This is a great piece.

I remember when people wrote about shit instead of twitting about shit.

Sad.

Thanks, Jack.

Off All The Spoiled Brats From Outside Boston Who Were Indie Musicians Now Pushing 60, The Only One Who Amounted To Anything Was J Mascis

And J Masics is, well, uh...

AND we got Sebadoh out of it!

But Evan Dando, Juliana Hatfield, all those assholes turned out to be not much.

Whoopsie.

Good thing your dad was a doctor or some shit.

Got you into tv.  Got your sister that job as a bigtime magazine writer or whatever.

Dinosaur Jr., good.  Lemonheads and the rest, who cares?

Slimy Bob would be wicked proud of his boy.

Steve Albini's Always A Fun Guy

Albini is at least as good at ranting as he is at producing/engineering recordings.

So that's something.

Still remember his Smashing Pumpkins and Liz Phair shit from back in the day before most folks had the  internets at home.

Neo-Vintage Hometown Thing About The Beths

Jesus, that guitar dude is a unit.

The rest of them are soft and cuddly little Kiwis.

Nice.

Ignatius' Ghost

This guy did the Bloomsday thing to New Orleans and John Kennedy Toole.

He actually found the Reilly house, which is pretty cool.

Tetsuya Yamagami Is A Great Hero With A Great Legacy

Killing Japan's fascist lunatic 'Honest' Abe was the work of a giant.

All the honor should be his.

Ridding the world of reactionary scum, especially religious whackjobs like Shinzo Abe is the best a man can be.  Building a working gun to do it a fucking baller move.

We should all be as brave and wise as Tetsuya Yamagami.

This Did Not Happen

Bull. Shit.

Unless...

Unless this is exactly what she wanted to happen, and she was there do suck dick and get backstage.

In which case, well, not a good plan.

But this sounds like poorly written fantasy to me.

Certainly you would have to be a real idiot to get forced into something at FIFTEEN YEARS OLD and then go back for more and more and more.

Or else have something very wrong with you.

Or like it.

Punx Still Not Ded--It's Just Wicked Old Dudes In Dresses, Thank Christ

Shabby bigots are not fucking punk.

Cool old dudes in dresses is def punk tho.

Rock on, pops.

Van Halen's Kid Seems Like He Might Be A Touch More Present Than His Father Ever Was

Van Halen was nothing without DLR & somehow less without that idiot Michael Anthony.

The Van Halen brothers were dimwit assholes.

The kid seems kinda fun.

Def a big round nepo baby, tho.

Please Note: 'Hello Mary Lou: Prom Night II' Really Is A Good Flick

This movie holds up.  Ab-so-fuckin'-lootly.

And Wendy Lyon is fucking awesome in it.

Yeah, she looks hot af in that scene, but she goes for it the whole movie; it sucks if she is now embarrassed by the nude stuff.  She looked great.

Def a good flick.

Ira Kaplan And His Son James McNew Are Good People

Yo La Tengo is America's finest rock and roll combo.

Just say no to TERFs and other shabby bigots.

Beware

Bee

Where

Why Is Yes, Featuring Zero Original Members, Still Crapping Out This 'Music'?

Shoegaze Ain't Ded, Either, Bub

Change yer name, it's all the same.

Cool music, tho.

So much cool music out there you will never even hear...

Spider-Man 2 Holds Up & Is Still The Best Superhero Movie By Far

The Caveman's Lesson: It's Never Too Late To Delete The Whyte

Great replacement of white people is as good an idea today as it was 10,000 years ago. 

Dumb racist whites are not worth the trouble.

Under his eye.

I Wonder What Community Guidelines This Harmless Post Broke

Community.

Lol.

I don't want those gross baggers in my community.

So dumb.

Lorry Stroad

See what I did there? Lorry. Strode. Laurie Stroad. Halloween? Laurie Strode? Lorry Stroad?

The Ramones, 1982

Twas fucked up indeed.

If you were born in 1978, chances are you did not attend the US Festival to watch The Ramones play. 

That cherry burst P bass, tho...

RIP Tom Verlaine

73.

The time is passing.

RIP.
