This is a big call given the amount of Springsteen fans round here.......

THE IMITATION GAME, starring Benedict Cumberpatch (like, if you didn't already know he was English, you see that name and its like, Oh yeah, English.) and Keira Knightley who managed not to annoy me. Good movie. Doubtless Ben will get an Oscar nom and it is well deserved. Pretty hard to translate a ...

1ggZjrTEsEQ local band named after the NIN song "Head Like a Hole" they have somewhat outgrown their early influences. I like them a lot: loud as hell, sense of humour, not just lurve songs. They do a killer cover of that guy Bruce somethings song "I'm on Fire". they have a new ...

They are better than mine I have to say.

I do wonder about "Wake up and fight"

I think I will adopt that one.

Gonna be a big year. Yup.

he should have stopped on a high point.

I like that record too.

Dave seems like a good guy who you'd have a beer and a talk with. (his marketing department will shit themselves at how well theyve done but whatever). I liked that sound City thing.

Green Day: NO
The Smiths: NO

just because I don't care for them. When I rule you all (and I will) they will not be included....

http://www.20000daysonearth.com/site-media/poster.png I can't think of a better film about rock and roll than this. Fantastic. One of the things I always pay attention to are the opening titles and the ones for this are some of the best I've seen - Se7en and Vertigo are probably my favourite titles...

http://www.independent.co.uk/incoming/article9646550.ece/alternates/w460/Gone-Girl-Poster.jpg Pretty good. a LOT better than "pretty good" IMO. tightly plotted noir with all the gore and violence they couldn't show in the 40's and 50's. Affleck's puzzled everyman is well done, and Rosamun...

You completely misunderstand what I said and what i meant. For starters, perhaps you can tell me where i said that any song was too long.

That's me screwed, one of mine is a whole gig - 90 minutes. OF AWESOME

Mz147m98jdQ I have listened to a shit ton of different versions of this over the weekend, started by the Jeff Beck/Aerosmith/Metallica wig out from a RnRHOF induction (Beck's I think). Apart from the Johnny BurDette version, this is my favourite. I'm a bit in love with Imelda May at present, as any...

it's definitely not my thing (and probably not anyone's here), but the rise of the DJ (people like Skrillex, Avicii, Deadmau5, Tiesto, Steve Aoki, etc) is the next one. these events are insanely popular... just not among our demographic. Hell yes. I listened to something called "dub step"...

I read an article a couple years ago, probably posted by someone here, where some young intern at AV Club or somewhere like that was given London Calling to review and the little shit was just like "meh, whatever, it's fine." But that album meant so much to me back then and still does. I ...

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

also the Mescaleros records.

Nice horse by the way.

No love for The Slackers, Pietasters and Mighty Mighty Bosstones?

none whatever. They are (if you'll forgive me) pale imitations.

singles have (at least to me) always seemed like way more of a UK thing than a US thing. think about the great singles from bands like The Smiths, The Jam, Elvis Costello, Siouxsie and the Banshees, Magazine, etc. there really was no analog in the US. sure, Madonna released a lot of singles (which ...

theres also the chance i just cant separate the clash from all the godawful ska bands a bunch of my high school friends were into. obv not the bands fault, but i cant handle very large doses of the clash's reggae stuff because of it. even london calling, which i could happily whittle down to an ep'...

............ Starbucks ................ There's your problem. Don't they have decent coffee shops where you are? If it was a choice between shitbucks and pee in a cup a la bear grylls, I'll be taking the pee in the cup. All that grande latte shittacrappachino nonsense. I'm with Ron Swanson: Black. ...

They didn't build the furniture. Who cares what it cost? If they were unusualy conscientious about how they did their job and provided great service, then show your appreciation based on that. I think the whole tipping culture thing is ridiculous. I consider myself a pretty generous person and good...

ryanadams.com IS NOT THE RYAN ADAMS YOU'RE LOOKING FOR

if it sounds anything like the "orion" song he posted on his blog site, i'm not looking forward to it. what he said. Dude has put out some stuff that ranks up there on my all-time list but if this is like that awful orion tune, it will be yet another nRA release that I skip out on (like C...

We're all watching RECTIFY, right? Sorry if this is oldnews.com but I picked up the DVD the other day for season 1 purely based on the fact that Ray McKinnon is the creative force behind it. Well known friend of DBT and of course appeared in the video for "This Fucking Job". The guy is gre...

something. m I think it’s indicative of the disposability of the culture, when every part of your life has a capacity to be vaporized,” Chamberlin says. Music moves in and out of people’s lives so quickly today that there’s no time to worry about whether the band is on Exxon Mobil’s payroll. And eve...

I fucking love you guys. I've just played that song five times, and am currently in another tab buying their CD and a shirt because I need another goddamn band T shirt.

Come to New Zealand for a holiday. I'll show you the ropes. And the whips and the chains. You know, if you're into that.

also hobbit movie sets and whatnot.

Semi-related, have we ever discussed renaming the band? Personally I love the name but if I'm recalling correctly, Patterson has expressed something less than love for the name now. If not Drive-By Truckers then what? CHJ? Horsepussy You picked just about the only name that would be worse Betamax G...

I initially put in Champagne Handjobs for ABAAC, but saw it was already taken. It's a damn good title for something. I have to form a company for something I'm doing. ...... I think that would get by the Companies Office. I'll let you know how I get on. Champagne Hand Jobs Limited. Yep. I'm designi...

how do they...... never mind.

Ugh, moving. we've done it this year too. out of then back into the same house.

Now going to sell it.

I bought TONIGHT'S THE NIGHT based on this thread. I like it a lot.

Thanks big boy.

dang. I thought the Ramones were dumb and pointless (I, know, right) for years, then one day I really listened to a "best of" that my brother had and I'm all like, "Holy shit, this is genius".
