Says she's gonna get some records by the Status Quo

Heads in my song:
"The Concept" by Teenage Fanclub
"Everything Flows" by Teenage Fanclub

Punknews.org pointed out this Billboard article on all sorts of Replacements/Paul Westerberg news. I'm not sure if I'll buy the first four Replacements albums again just because of bonus tracks. However, I'll definitely pick up the solo Westerberg anthology.

Jim DeRogatis interviews Dann Gallucci of Modest Mouse. Nice look into the band from another member of the band.

Compare your album covers: there is this and then there is this. They look similar to me, but I seriously doubt this was intentional (as with most things in life).

I plan on seeing Saboteur tomorrow night. I have yet to see them play and I look forward to the show. They're playing with [DARYL], so that's a good double bill.

Yesterday I watched a documentary on this guy and I feel compelled to borrow all of his records from the housemate. I received Dogtown and the Z Boys in the mail from Netflix. I may watch it today.

Kev has a great discussion about the middle schooler that was suspended for shooting a rubber band. I love his story about drummers being hit by erasers. Looks like I made the right decision by playing trumpet in concert/marching band and playing drums in a garage/bedroom band.

I was not aware of this until I was in college, and frankly, does it really matter about the twist or the context of the day for fans? I think it does, as history has a way of repeating itself. These eleven films (along with a couple of animated shows, a holiday special, and a couple of live action shows) continue to mean something, even when they come out to mixed reviews. The Star Wars saga itself is bigger than those reactions, and I’m happy to see the saga transcend generations. I’m only a few days removed from seeing The Rise of Skywalker for the first time. I thought it was a fantastic film in the Skywalker saga. And since I’m not a filmmaker or a producer, I’m not one to make a bold claim about how I would have done it better. Because Star...
