Coolest interview I've ever heard! I can't wait until the 27th.

The fighting on this board is really bumming me out, especially as this disaster/tragedy is still unfolding. I just read a post on Andrew Sullivan's blog (www.andrewsullivan.com) I found this particular letter that this man sent to Andrew to be a very powerful thing. I thought y'all might want to se...

I've been a huge comics fan more most of my life. I started with Sgt Rock and GI Combat, which I usually begged my mom to buy when we were at the grocery store. I then went to Marvel, which I was into pretty hardcore for pretty much the 80's. The comic store and record store were one and the same in...

Sunset tree is an amazing album. It's so intense, that I really have to be in the mood for it. What should I get next? I only have Sunset Tree and the one before.

Did anyone see this story in the New York Times? I always wondered what happened to the whole Terrapin Station that were in the plans. http://www.nytimes.com/2005/08/09/national/09dead.html? This has been a cool thread to read. I saw the dead late in the game, at the Soldier Field shows in 92 and 93...

Start with ...and the horse they rode in on, then work your way back through their catalog. Hang Time, While You Were Out, and Made to Be Broken.

Hey Brian, Just want to say thanks for posting here. I've been bumming pretty hard over the last couple of days since I heard the news of Karl Mueller passing away, and I can't stop thinking about all of this heavy shit. This doesn't have much to do with you I know. You're posts on stuff (be it ozon...

Soul Asylum started me on a path that led me to Jay's (and virtually every band I've gotten into post 1988) music. Bummed.

Buffalo Tom was the first band I ever saw in a 21+ bar. Freshman year at UW, one of those crazy February Days where it broke 60 degrees. After an amazing day of biking, hacking, and puffing, I made my way down to the show, praying for a miracle that I'd get in. They played the late great O'Cayz corr...

A soundgarden/afghan whigs/bullet lavolta show back in the fall of '89. Blew it off to go on a date. I'm sitting in a theater watching parenthood, bored out of my mind, wishing I was watching Greg Dulli's misanthropy and Chris Cornell's hairfarming instead of being in a mall multiplex realizing this...

I was twelve and my mom told me to watch out for people that were smoking stuff that smelt like burning hair.

Dude,

I love Bell's. I love Two Hearted, Oberon (right up there with New Glarus Summer Solstice for summer hoisting) as well as their Amber. I need to delve further into their extensive roster of Stouts as well...

I didn't mean to diss Tyrana. I had a few of their beers, they just didn't stand out. So many options in that neck of the woods, I guess my mind was kind of made up when they came in. When I'm back in the area though, I'll definitely give their stuff a shot. I probably pimp the dane a little too muc...
