The Meatmen -- Stud Powercock: The Touch And Go Years 1981-1984

  Hardcore's jokesters The Meatmen.  These guys were out to offend everybody, even themselves.  I usually like 80's hardcore, but I'm not too crazy about The Meatmen, it's just too loose, too shoddy.  Yes I get that the lyrics are a joke, but how far can too far go ... I think they reached it, even G.G. Allin seems more intelligent.  Point is, they're the Meatmen ... and they suck, suck, suck!

Rancid -- Let's Go

  "Hi, we used to be cool when we were in Operation Ivy, but now we are way more concerned with marketing our look rather than our music."  You know I thought these guys were the sh*t when I was a teenager, but their sound hardly stood the test of time, their whole shtick is lame ... and didn't the singer collaborate with Pink?  Who knows, who cares!  

Green Day -- Dookie

  For starters I didn't really listen to this, why in the f*ck would I do that to myself.  As you guessed it I f*cking hate this album, their first two releases were almost good, but all in all I cannot stand these sellout posers, they killed and plagued Punk Rock worse than Nirvana, turning it into a jock nerd wanna-be fiasco.  The worst part is that these dudes are still making music today, the years pass, they get shittier and more pathetic, influencing kiddies of the future generation to be stupid while they're getting grants from the eyeliner company!

Broken Social Scene -- Broken Social Scene

  Arena style Indie Rock luminaries Broken Social Scene.  These guys are famous for having almost every cool Canadian musician in their band, my buddy and I are still waiting for the call.  This album I'd have to file under forgettably good, other than dreamy Shoegaze track Swimmers which knocked my socks off.

Deerhunter -- Microcastle

  Keeping the Shoegaze torch burning.  How come it took bands so long to realize the awesome impact of the scene that celebrated itself, they were way too ahead of their time, in fact music took a step back when it was over, and then finally took the step forward again, Deerhunter's Microcastle is a perfect example of that step!

Tv On The Radio -- Return To Cookie Mountain

  A good friend of mine once told me, "you gotta hear this band, it's like Indie Doo Wop."  And I gotta hand to him, I could not have said it better myself!

Gabor Szabo -- Spellbinder

  ... in a tumultuous state, while trying to relax at my buddy's place, he slapped on Gabor Szabo's, a Hungarian Jazz guitarist, Spellbinder.  His playing eludes to the free form style of a Horn player.  Gabor is such an artist he even painted the Picassoesque cover.  In my time of need Szabo came through and chilled me out!  And now it's made it on my must have list!
