  1. Also, Bob Mould worked for WCW when Flair was there so we've come roundabout!
  2. My first exposure to Husker Du was on the Blasting Concept 2 SST sampler, which is when the label shifted from Black Flag to a bunch of weird or boring bands who were friends with Ginn. I also was very much a 16/17-year old kid whose idea of hardcore was skewed towards NYHC and early 7 Seconds. I was not open to very fast melodic punk, and I kind of wrote them off even as I got into pop punk and melodic hardcore; I also wasn't a huge Sugar fan when they were out although I did see them play and it was one of the 3 loudest shows I've ever seen (Dino. Jr/MBV, Mission of Burma). Anyway, I now have just about everything, although Flip Your Wig is my favorite. And I've seen Bob Mould play "solo" like half a dozen times now and cry every time he plays "If I Can't Change Your Mind" and lose my shit when he does "Hate Paper Doll". And thanks to this thread, I just learned that he's playing in Austin next month and I bought a ticket!
  3. I had the youth novel adaptation of that movie that I got from Scholastic book fair.
  4. I was thinking having her upset Rosa at BotB3 would be a slightly shocking but very smart move. Lead to some tension with Britt, still have Storm and Rosa chasing the belt.
  5. I thought he was doing pretty good until then, too.
  6. I seriously wonder sometimes if I’m watching the same show as some people.
  7. That was amazing camera work. Someone on Facebook said that getting a kid to cry is a sign that wrestling is back.
  8. On a night of very good to excellent matches, that was my MOTN. They brought the stiffness, and I get the sense that Rosa and Storm enjoyed laying it into Britt.
  9. Canada had Pointed Sticks, kind of their version of the Buzzcocks. In the 90s, you had awesome garage/punk/indie bands like Smugglers, cub, Bum, Chixdiggit, and then there’s the living legend Nardwuar.
  10. I interviewed Clinton for the Daily Texan in advance of the show in Dallas (we had to earn our free press wristband and extra free ticket somehow) and while he was a trip, he also mentioned that he had taught his white 60-something chauffeur to rap for part of his show, so I went in with extremely low expectations and was therefore not disappointed. I was a college radio DJ from November '89 until May '93 (plus a short stint at 4 am in Austin in '94) so I knew about all the mainstream alternative bands and even some underground hip-hop but, because of being in BFE Pennsyltucky, very little truly underground punk/alternative. We were excited that we could get Sub Pop and Epitaph to send us stuff to play, and for some reason Shimmy Disc sent us stuff, but that was about it.
  11. Rick Sims gets on my nerves. Didn't like when he joined the Supersuckers, didn't like Gaza Strippers.
  12. Don't think there are kids who would dress as luchadors in the gated Austin suburb where he lives.
  13. I was at Lolla '94, which had Smashing Pumpkins as headliners, plus George Clinton, Nick Cave, Beastie Boys, A Tribe Called Quest, Breeders, and Green Day (the tour was split with half dates Rage ATM, half Green Day). Side stage acts I saw included Shonen Knife, Stereolab, and Shudder to Think. Other '90s content was seeing the Spin Doctors/Soul Asylum/Screaming Trees tour in '93, I think that was MTV Alternative Nation. Never saw one of those radio station fests, closest was some summer party at Case Western headlined by The Didjits, who I didn't like.
  14. Can't leave out Catherine Wheel, a solid second-tier shoegaze/dream pop outfit with Bruce Dickinson's cousin on vocals!
  15. They only presented testimony from 4 of the accusers. Defector has a good article on this.
  16. All this, but I also have a sneaking suspicion that the NFL didn't present the strongest case possible in order to stir up public opinion against the NFLPA and the new process.
  17. Rampage thread is locked but I finally saw it last night and it really was a great episode top to bottom, although using valuable backstage promo time to set up Youtube angles is a choice I wouldn't have made. Ruby and AJAS gelled pretty well and had a great story throughout. Satnam moves pretty well for a giant wrestler and has a lot of personality.
  18. Agreed about Jericho. Taz was super annoying a few months ago, but has now really gotten away from being the heel announcer and settling comfortably into the color commentary role. Jericho is doing a good job of putting everyone over, being funny, and still getting his angles in. I don't think Henry is every going to be more than what he is now, he can be kind of funny but he doesn't add a lot when he's on commentary other than comedy and a little bit of awe. Wight is getting there. I think Regal is served best in guest spots, he's more valuable I think backstage. I've enjoyed Coleman's guest spots on AEW and that episode of Dark, but I thought he was a little rough at the PPV, lots of stumbling and pauses.
  19. I'm pretty sure one of the DVDVR issues had a paragraph about Arn Anderson in the 80s being like the foreman at the plant, some asshole wearing blue blocker shades and a Members Only jacket chewing your ass out, knowing how badly you wanted to knock his teeth in but that you needed the work.
  20. I think this might be the last chance we'll get to see our beloved Lard Lad before he heads back home.
  21. Overcorrection of past excess by the NFL. Doesn't lose a cent of income, and the Browns have a hot garbage schedule for the first 6 games.
  22. This is so great, I want them to show this on TV.
  23. I like me a simple cake donut, maybe a blueberry cake donut if I'm feeling fauncy. Last time I even remember eating a donut was at the original Duck Donuts in 2016. I will likely be missing Rampage as Friday is my 6th wedding anniversary and we're having a little downtown Austin staycation to celebrate.
  24. What about when he spoiled the Rampage women's match announcement and Taz and Tony were like "well, yeah, we heard people talking about something like that maybe happening backstage but I don't think it's been signed yet"...
