What's going on, guys.

I agree with none of those, especially "Take Me to the River," the studio version of which is TH's finest moment. The live version is fine, but too "arena funk." I find the use of backing singers in the SMS take extraneous, too. My picks are "Psycho Killer," "Heaven" and "Girlfriend is Better." The first two are incredible reinventions of already good songs that appear on 77 and Fear of Music, respectively; the former's stripped down performance makes an unsettling song even creepier, while the latter's also stripped perf finds a heartrending sadness missing in the original's sneering sarcasm. "Girlfriend is Better" takes a song that, on Speaking in Tongues, came off as mechanical and flat (for which I blame the super-thin drum machine used in the track, giving the rythym section—and, in turn, the song itself—no life) into something truly funky.

Someone should ban Moist Party Gurl.

I ate at a Sbarros in NYC. I should be shot.

What, no "Take the Skinheads Bowling?" "Wouldn't It Be Nice?" EDIT: Let it be known I have no idea what is this column you are talking about, so I may very well be missing the point.

But only three or so of the SMS songs are actually better than their studio counterparts. The rest are equal in quality, if different otherwise. EDIT: Oh, and I will always hate, hate, hate Tom Tom Club.

Sbarros tastes like boiled cardboard.

I admire Remain in Light a lot more than I enjoy listening to it. Too cold and shapeless for my liking; the only songs I've been able to get into from that album were "Crosseyed and Painless" and "Once in a Lifetime." And Brian Eno—who co-wrote, played on and produced every track—is very much responsible for its sound; check out Eno's Before and After Science and Another Green World from a few years earlier to see where the Heads were getting some cues.

Someone should ban DerangedHermit.

You've now done it twice. Please stop.

It was the one where I finally showed TSM what he looked like:

Papa Johns is the best of the major chains, though the best place to get pizza in Jax is Al's, which has four locations in the county. The best pizza I ever ate was in Rhode Island in 2001, the place's name being one I cannot recall. All I can remember is that it was near my friend's dorm at Brown.

Pizza Hut is only slightly better than Dominos, which is to say cancer is only slightly more appealing than AIDS.

Agent, your pants should be much tighter. All good scenester boys buy their jeans from the girls' department at Target.

Banky has the worst taste in movies.

For a moment I was really happy and excited, but then I clicked on the thread.

ABC Liquor, which is like the biggest chain liquor store in Florida, has drive thru service.

Kotz, you inappropriately suggested whooshing that Meatwad fellow in the other thread, where it was fairly clear he was in on the joke. Even if he wasn't, it would've been fun to string him along.

And he's standing in front of a radiator! What a fag.

So you just don't want us to post in this thread. What about non-HD regulars? Should I alert them to this really neat thread in HD they can post in?

And he's wearing a sash (which matches his shirt!) under his studded belt. What a scenester douche.

Agent loses like 10 million points of Metal Cred for wearing a Finch shirt.

Agent is in a band.

Here is Agent in that LiveJournal/Friendster/Make Out Club favorite, the Mirror Reflection with Digital Camera and Ramones Shirt Pic:
