Seriously, more people need to be shot and women need beating. It's the only thing I find entertaining about this show. EDIT: I suppose I should add something truly "serious." My one complaint about last night's show is that Tony B.'s character change was too rushed. Nothing this season has indicated/implied that he was prone to snap, but, when he does, we're supposed to believe it?

Banky used to have a picture of himself as an avatar, I think.

Thanks to Banky, I finally I bought a Stooges album. I got the self-titled; I would've picked up Fun House, instead, but Borders didn't have it, and they were the only place open on Easter. No big deal, though. I still got rocked.

Yeah, that was me. I don't have any "beefier" pictures laying around; some of that weight is muscle, though. Anyway, I agree that people have too loose a definition of "fat," too. But I'd say people like me and--presumably--TCR are more of an average build.

I like subliminal_animal a lot less upon realizing he once used the phrase "jumped the shark."

5'10" and 170lbs isn't skinny. Nor is 6'0" and 185 lbs (this would be me), yet I was told I was "too skinny" the other night. Some people have a very loose definition of "skinny."

Frankly, there aren't enough abortion jokes in this thread. Pro-choice here, by the way.

I feel the same way about raping them.

Not everything's about you, you bastard.

I do this every day of my life.

Boredoms--Depends on what you're in the mood for. Their noisy, abrasive side is best represented on Pop Tatari; latter day Boredoms is psychadelic, and, considering the bulk of the band's output, shockingly pretty at times. For that, you need Vision Creation Newsun. Shellac--At Action Park is solid. The rest isn't terribly necessary.

Oh man.

That's probably the best Schwimmer's ever looked.

Anyway, mole, you and El-P have similar hair, skin tone and face. You dudes look alike.

Flyboy likes Kelly Clarkson.

El-P's short. I'm a head taller than him, at least. I say this because I ran into him at a hotel lobby in NYC last October. I say that because I'm bragging. EDIT: And he wasn't fat when I met him last fall. More stocky than bulbous.

For those playing along at home, this thread's title should be read in a matter-of-fact tone of voice, not the whiny, Grimes-esque voice it seems to invite.

The Village Green Preservation Society and Arthur are both superb LPs. It gets a little spotty outside of that, though.

Hüsker Dü--New Day Rising is your next stop. The perfect synthesis of their hardcore sound and the increasing fondness of psychadelic pop. "Book About UFOs" is one of the greatest songs of the 80s. Minutemen--Double Nickels on the Dime is generally considered their best; it is good, but a little too bloated for my tastes (43 songs in 73 minutes). My favorite Minutemen album is the one that followed--and their last one before D. Boon's death--3 Way Tie (for last). While maintaining the punk zeal of their early records, they also adopt a good deal of classic/southern rock in a style that's strictly Minutemen (rest assured, they'd never be on the dial with Lynard Skynard and the like). The Feelies--Crazy Rhythms. Their other three albums are good, but very low key; they lack the frenetic, spazzy energy of their appropriately titled debut.

Why did the person behind the Incanetic gimmick choose Kinetic's birthday over mine.

I'll send you a picture of my erect penis if you send me your email address.

I'm only selling intangible things, like my dignity.

I'm selling all my belongings; I won't be needing them where I'm going. Bidding starts now.
