I prefer it when bands cover commercial jingles (Snuff, Lenny and the Piss Poor Boys, etc.)

The one time I saw them accepting an award they thanked their songwriters mutiple times, by name.

I'm more of a rythm guitar fan, and Ted Leo is among my current favorites. His sound/tone style are all awesome.

I stopped reading this thread here, because there can't be a better answer.

I don't really care for this song.

Fuck. Although I guess now I can just use the money I was going to spend on another season of EI on a DVR.

Clockers is a great book. I was just thinking about that one last week as I was reading a George Pelecanos book (Drama City). And now I'm reading another Pelecanos book:

I'm still pissed at myself for skipping his Ft. Reno show 2 summers ago.

Alkaline Trio - I was a Prayer Wilco - Ashes Of American Flags Minutemen - Nature Without Man Mary Lou Lord - Western Union Desperate Samhain - Lords of the Left Hand Leatherface - Baked Potato All Systems Go! - Can't Stop Gettin High Simple Minds - Kant-Kino Rod Stewart - It's All Over Now Teenage Fanclub - It's All In My Mind Branch Manager - Mr. Weekend Beefeater - Mr. Silverbird Tim Barry - Cardinal in Red Bed Angry Samoans - They Saved Hitler's Cock Propagandhi - Fine Day The Parasites - Someday The Doughboys - No Way Drag The River - Deminer (live 12/29/05) The Jam - In The City The Misf

Holy shit, I didn't realize those two were on at the same time.

I like it.

Yes and yes. Thanks, that was driving me crazy. Never watched it.

Who is the white FBI agent and where have I seen him before?

Rocky Votolato - Makers

Clearly.

Who? In 5th grade I played soccer with Hubert Davis, who later went on to minor basketball fame with UNC and various NBA teams. He was way better than me at soccer too.

That's exactly it. Americans should just watch soccer again so they can get it.

Sure they do. But only when their kids are playing.

I don't think the initial attention is going to have any real impact on the popularity of professional soccer here. I could be wrong. People have been pointing to various things as the "big break" soccer has needed for years, and none of them have really made an impact. Plus, isn't this guy more famous for being married to a Spice Girl than he is for his play? I see this making more of an impact on the National Inquirer, if anything.

I don't see this making any real impact on MLS' popularity.

Is John Lowenstein in yet?

It will be intersting to see if Black Flag is ever nominated.

Yeah, but iBet you it can play "Poundcake" for up to 8 continuous hours.

And why exactly do I care what Sammy Hagar thinks about the HOF? If they were judged solely on his work with the band, there's no way Van Halen would even be considered. He may be a buffoon, but David Lee Roth is the frontman of the band when they mattered. He and Eddie are clearly the stars of the show. If they even let Sammy in the room, it should be so he can serve drinks or juggle bowling pins or something.
