He was just cutting and gluing all sorts of cool pictures and Papa Tweed was like "Spence Tweed! Quit your arts and crafts and drum out your indie dream!"

I work with kids. One thought that beavers used their tails to build dams. I once heard a boy suggest that a speed boat could beat a jet in a race. Several think that Pig Latin is a legitimate language. I won't even get into the sexual misunderstandings my friends and I lectured to each other as boys.

Dark, dark humor.

I feel like 'Adventure' was the end of their era. After that it's kind of like reunion albums.

Maybe they made a trailer, but they're shooting more footage this summer?

I mean "Get off my land!".

Well, I think patriotism is saying, "I love this country and I won't stand for this bullshit. For America's betterment I'll see it changed." Nationalism is saying, "If you want to criticize this country then you can move to Cuba." That said, I think the Ex-Pat perspective is totally reasonable. We're not the only good, or the best country. I'm a citizen of the world first and foremost. There are a lot of fantastic lives to be lived out there in a lot of great countries.

Burn to Shine fell into disrepair because they lost their distributor. I would think -Anti would do it, but maybe they're not too into DVDs.

No need to apologize. I hear you and agree. The manipulation of the concept of patriotism, and the idea that an ideology has a monopoly on it is one of the more corrosive fallacies in our political discussions as a country. It's interesting stuff. I agree with what the folks said above about there being examples of this on both sides, but I also agree with you that it's a more common attack from folks on the right. That McCain moment was sharp. You could see in his eyes- it was when he realized he'd lost it. He was courting lunatics. The republican majority was falling victim to willf

What so many of these finger pointers don't have the courage, or intelligence, or honesty to say is that their opponents clearly love America. They just have a different vision of it. One might be metropolitanism and the other a cultural theocracy, but they both see evidence for their values reflected in some aspect of America. When we allow ourselves to get apolitical we can just philosophically marvel at Jeff Tweedy, Bob Dylan and Paul Simon's (among others) favorite question: what does America mean?

This is totally insane: http://www.npr.org/blogs/itsallpolitics/2015/05/02/403865824/texas-governor-deploys-national-guard-to-stave-off-obama-takeover

Good point. America is becoming more accustomed (if not still entrenched) on liberal approaches towards social issues, some how fiscally the country is still full of bed-wetters. Could we have made enough progress that a candidate could say "I believe two people, no matter what gender, who are ready to make a lifelong commitment should be recognized by the state," and some moderate Republican voter would say, "Well a lot of people are saying that, and I'm not sure that's where we need to go as a country." Yet if the same candidate said "Poverty is an institutional force in our nation whi

I've got a story about those clowns from my touring days.

It's so weird seeing the Diamondbacks ahead of the Giants right now. It's pretty awesome that the Mets are a legit team this season. Lots of interesting stuff going on. Seems like the Cubs investment is paying off decently.

I saw these guys in Denver a week ago. It totally lived up to my hopes and dreams of seeing the Replacements. Not sure about how a new record will go. All the music blogs have been talking about how they debuted a new song, "Whole Foods Blues". Having heard the song, I'm not sure it's the serious "leak" of new material they're hyping it as. More of a comedy blues jam. I imagine they'll have some less tongue-in-cheek rockers to offer though.

My Rox have yet to suck. Took the Giants, but man those Dodgers are looking tough this year!

They might be recording....

I can't wait to watch the GOP candidates rip each other to shreds. Gaffe season is coming, and I don't think Emperor Hillary is immune either!

My little neighborhood brewery finally brought back their sour stout that legend has it was initially an accident. But, now that it's getting warm I might have to see which American micro-brew can make the best fake pilsner.

I agree. Eureka is a close second. Bad Timing is more for people who really like "that kind of thing".

Oof
