To hell with the canon

That would just make me picture a hippy/skinhead crossbreed bringing together in one potent whole the worst of both, and nobody needs thoughts like that in their mind. It's just not healthy.

More recent stuff: Modest Mouse. I've only heard The Moon & Antarctica, but I cannot for the life of me see why everyone gushes over it so much. Killer first two songs, one or two other good ones in there, but my god it draaaaaaaaags in the middle.

Really? I find the first few tracks splotchy and boring. I think the album only gets really great from Cold Part onwards. In fact, the "drag" is the best part of the album for me.

Skinhead reggae is rather different than say, Bob Marley stoner reggae, you know. It's got a completely different feel to it. It's reggae that goes out drinking after an eight-hour day at the steel mill and gets into a streetfight rather than getting baked and sitting in its dorm room spouting off vague political credos and half-incubated philosophical ruminations.

Not so much a band as a genre really. When I turned 25 people started asking me if I liked jazz. Did this happen to anyone else? Is that supposed to be the watershed age when i stop liking shortloudfast and get drawn into langorous noodling and atonal hooting?
Oh, And I dont like Weezer.
(i'm new, Howdy.)
