I was 14-15 when I saw them: there was a late night (11pm) music show and they showed God Save the Queen. I was watching it going "Holy shit, this is amazing - not sure if I like it, don't really understand the lyrics, never seen anything like them before , but they've definitely got my attent...

Nick Cave is a lovely person. I went to one of his shows a year or 2 ago and ended up being invited to the backstage party afterwards. He's truly intimidating and I didn't feel as though I had anything worthwhile to say to him (though trust me, I desperately wished I did have something to say), so I...

I've never really given them much of a shot. Don't know why. Maybe it's the reverence that's off-putting, or maybe to these ears, "Should I Stay Or Should I Go" doesn't sound very punk rock. Maybe I fall between the generations that really dig them (too young to have experienced them firs...

My horse's show name is Janie Jones. It was either that or September Gurl, but she's not the right colour for that. She's pretty punk rock too.

The Joe Strummer doc that came out a few years ago is not to be missed.

Beebs, that's really too bad. The Muscle Shoals film is one of my favorite music docs of all time despite Bono or Alicia Keyes. You should give it another shot. I plan to. I just wasn't in the mood. I find most docs of this nature (even the good ones) have something like a 1 to 5 knowledgeable, enl...

He tastes like musician. (Chicken that's been marinating in cigarettes and whiskey for a good while.)

Thanks for posting that article. I found it very interesting and thought provoking but not super surprising. We definitely live in the era of commercializing everything. I hate it, but this certainly seems to be the direction the world is heading in. There was a club in Toronto called the Mod Club. ...

I think Paul Westerburg is too volatile to go on the road for real. I think the band is realizing, as bands do, that they can cash in very nicely playing between 3 and 5 festivals a year. I'd be shocked if they toured. I've always hated festivals. I think outside shows lose their intensity, I don't ...

They were so good last weekend. Paul was pissed off. I hate to say it, but his anger made it better than ever and especially nostalgic. I don't know what happened but he started the show by saying, "Someone's getting fired tonight..." And he ended it by saying, "We are The Cements!&qu...

As someone who has been criticized for overanalyzing lyrics, I find myself w/ the majority here who say this one's about the big picture, not obsessing over every word. I'm not sure why I think that, but the song has always struck me that way. Well whoever chastised you for being overly analytical ...

Memory only shows the promise beauty broke of beauty ageless in it’s time Light attracts the same, you glance away and the glory fades and being on your arm has lost it’s shine I think this verse is absolutely devastating to think about or (god forbid) say to a significant other and I often wonder ...

Mats on Sunday, in the hometown... it remains to be seen if Westerberg will do the encore in a Leafs or Boston jersey (Desperately hoping he dons neither). As my new horse is terrifying to jump, this is the event of my summer... Very, very excited.

This song is in fact brilliant.

Basically it's a cautionary tale about how you don't want to end up being one of the guys in Anvil. (Though since the documentary, they've had quite a resurgence. But still...)

You guys are making me want to re-watch The Wire... It's been a few years since I've seen it. The only right way to watch it is in "binge watch" style, maybe I'll get lucky and contract something nasty and spend a week sick in bed. Your use of language here intrigues me... Will you be con...

Judging by the thread in the DBT forum there seems to be a lot of demand to talk about the subject, so I thought I'd start a thread. Have at it all you jocks, nerds, cheerleaders, sluts, musicians, theater kids, greasers, hippies, stoners, earth mothers, rich kids, exchange students, bussed in kids...

This week, though, there's was a post about the Rothschilds that put me over the edge. Believe me, you have to say something really foul about rich people to get me pissed off at you. The Rothschilds?! Would you be so kind to provide the Coles Notes version of the theory of the Rothschilds? I've kn...

Jewell has fought and beaten cancer this year. She has been having some complications and has landed back in the hospital this week. We are in Charleston, about two and a half hours from Myrtle Beach. She will be here over the weekend. She tells me if I miss the Rock Show tomorrow night I have no b...

pet peeve #2542...what position do you play? Haha, well I guess I've just been a life long fan and supporter... And I don't think the Montreal Canadiens Organization actually minds when the fans speak like that and they would be the ones that I would be concerned about offending. But thank you for ...

Oh fuckety...

Well hopefully that was Price's "Latvia Moment..."

Geez...

Who were those guys in the Bruins sweaters the 1st 20 minutes? Bad, bad time to come out flat. I am really not ready for the season to be over. The silence is deafening. Shocking outcome. Oh really? Why so shocking? If you had maybe expressed a similar sentiment following game 2, I would understand...

Oh Bubba, I am extremely remiss in sending my Birthday greetings this late, but I would still like to offer you a "Happy belated" and to send you my sincerest best wishes for a wonderful year as you are a wonderful person and the very best of sports. I always like to say that the only thin...

ouch!

I understand it's a physical game. Truthfully, I expect that you guys may well kick our asses, but please try to avoid spearing out balls while you do it. Truthfully, here are premier teams in the four major North American Sports: MLB - New York Yankees NFL - Green Bay Packers (somewhat up for deba...

I think Only Lovers Left Alive is my new favourite film of all time. Jim Jarmush really outdid himself here.

I don't actually mind this show. It's not exactly high art, but there is much much worse TV out there.

I bet if people were honest, there would be a few more admitting that this is a bit of a guilty pleasure for them.

it's not a pretty end game. i'd say of all the 1,000 cuts that newspapers have taken, the two largest were delivered by Monster and Craigslist. It's not as glamorous as talking about the demise of the editorial side, but that has to be right. You can't go wrong by following the money and that's whe...

xtAeB7EhGv4 Bring on the Winged Wheel! Well that brought a tear to this Canadian girl's eyes... As did Carey Price's goal tending last night. He let in 25% of the shots made on him. Sigh... Exciting hockey on the ice though. If our guys can keep playing like that and Price can start playing, our pl...

Beaner, I'd love to blame Clams but this is surely my fault. Mea culpa. Nice of you to take one for the team, TC, but we all know it's ponyg, ummm, I mean clams's fault. YOU ARE WELCOME!!! Who else on here is the subject of their own merch line? I've basically launched a whole side career for you.
