Glorious Noise Boards

I might be over-reaching, but I always thought the song had something to do with the vacuous nature of celebrity and the ridiculous things we lionize people for. He's a good pinball player... fast forward... he's a messiah... fast forward, he's a false messiah and must be punished. Well, that's how ...

Got Dinosaur Jr.'s "The Farm" for Christmas and finally gave it a listen. Wow. And this on top of "Beyond," which I also think is pretty great. Has there been another band that reformed and went on to record new music this vital and good? If so, who? I wanna hear it! Other Christmas booty: Teenage F...

Fuck you, Jake. (You didn't think we'd let the site boss off scot-free, did you?)

Got into the Fannies with "Bandwagonesque," and that's as good a place to start as any. I think "Catholic Education" is definitely the sound of a band trying to find their way, and Norman's songs are the standouts there. By the time of "Thirteen," the other two songwriters had caught up for the most...
