Right? How is no one mentioning that after every third play someone on the Raiders was penalized for punching a Bronco? I have never seen a game with more personal fouls. Even (who was calling the game? that guy.) was getting irritated by all the "chippiness." How do you beat the Raiders? Don't punch back. Run a couple plays, get the ball moved to the red zone due to the inevitable three personal foul penalties, toss a td, repeat. Yes I'm being facetious, but a team that undisciplined simply cannot win against a team that keeps its head on straight That being said, I am worried about that pass rush

well it is a Jeff Foxworthy fan. Got to speak the language: you know you're a redneck if blah blah wal mart yadda picture of girlfriend whatever.

The Cave Singers and Langhorne Slim are both amazing. Highly suggest checking out their sets. Especially Langhorne Slim, if you have to choose

Johnny Rivers has this great psych record called "Realization." Been in heavy rotation at my house since I found it in an antique mall in Oklahoma 3 years ago. His version of positively fourth street is my favorite Dylan cover period

Wrong by Archers of Loaf, Anything of off Stooges Raw Power, Sub Space Biographies by Robert Pollard

Middle brother covers Portland, by the mats, on their album. Deer Tick is also going to be covering Bastards of Young on tour this fall. It really fuels my housemate's dueling Deer Tick and replacements obsessions

based on the schedule--and hoping everyone lives up to their potential--I say it's totally reasonable to expect a 9 win season this year. Of course, as we know, potential will not be lived up to, important people will be injured constantly, Fitz will throw an INT at the worst possible time etc etc etc.

I wouldn't recommend seeing anything in 3D. That new Apes movie is incredible. I have honestly not really dug anything I have seen all year. The new Apes film broke that dry spell

he's a solid player with good character. He's not the best by far...but you don't have to worry about him. There's also no one all that impressive waiting in the wings to replace him. They need to start adding to the defense instead of blowing it up over and over again. It would be different if there was an obvious replacement/upgrade....but you just know they are going to pick up some washed up FA and a youngblood who doesn't know what he is doing. It would be a pretty dumb/pointless move on Gailey/Nix/Ralph/whoever's end.

Starvations are amazing! The only drag is their LPs can be a beast to find. If you're into their vibe I'd also suggest Spider Bags...same kind of thing but replace that uber Australian Nick Cave-y jingle jangle with a more Americana bent. Went to the record store today and got an LP by a band called White Denim. Highly recommended.

I forgot a good one...Reigning Sound. The frontman is also in the Oblivians and The Parting Gifts. Probably the guy I listen to the most these days. Dig: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DNncA_oOe8M&feature=related

Skip Jensen; Thee Oh Sees; Dawes/Deer Tick/Middle Brother; Mind Spiders/Marked Men; Surfer Blood; The Donkeys; F***ed Up; Tokyo Police Club; Smith Westerns; Severe Severe; Crystal Stilts; Pains of Being Pure of Heart; OFF!; Kid Congo Powers and the Pink Monkeybirds; Strange Boys; Mantles; The Horrors; Woods; No Bunny; Nodzzz; Mars Classroom but most importantly MANNEQUIN MEN.

the only thing I am not 100% on is Zappa and both Beach Boys. I'd add Beach Boys Pet Sounds or Party and something by the Hollies, Godz, Gene Clark, Byrds, Millennium or Del Shannon. Maybe Rubber Soul instead of Sgt Pepper. BUT Forever Changes, Trout Mask, Monks, Shaggs and Elevators? Spot. On. I'll add my top ten...in no particular order: Godz: 2 Beatles: Rubber Soul Del Shannon: Home and Away Beach Boys: Party! Love: Forever Changes Paul Revere and the Raiders: Revolution Velvet Underground: ...and Nico Captain Beefheart: Trout Mask Replica Gene Clark: With The Gosdin Brothers Zombies: Odyssey and Oracle

you know it. Sun only shines on incessant whining over arbitrary nonsense

I like how the source is poorly transcribing a youtube video....that's some top notch reporting right there. No real context, no attempt to understand the language...just see the word uzi and freak out. Yup, totally worth the controversy. But the liberals did it to us first they all whine. Good thing there aren't any wars or anything to focus on.

couldn't get off work so I did the next best thing....I ordered 17 lps online. Luckily there's a big record fair in a couple weeks. Get to add to my giant pile. Actually that record fair should get me up over 1600 lps. so i got that going for me.

There's a limited edition International Submarine Band LP that's coming out for RSD---highly recommended!

That's a GREAT album, man. I just got his new one (smoke ring for my halo) and it slays as well. Since you dig him check out Fresh & Onlys. Same vibe but different energy.

packaging is still wickedly important in the underground, though I don't think a cover has really broken into pop culture in a decade. records on Southern Lord are pretty amazing. Gorgeous graphics and thick gatefold sleeves. Still love the experience of poring over the sleeve and liner notes when I first get a record. Drag that's something that is mostly lost to time.

do exactly this all of the time. it works amazing, every time. I have successfully unloaded more free movie tickets that way. All joking aside, ajzepp's is the best advice you are going to get on here. I'd just stop reading now.

Could not disagree more. Properly cared for vinyl never pops. I gladly went to buying vinyl only a few years back...can't even handle the compressed digital sound anymore. I buy roughly one record a day and they always sound either better than digital or insanely better than digital

the soundtrack to Vampyros Lesbos

He's not 100% wrong (not exactly 100% right either, but whatever). MP3s/itunes/ipods ruined pop forever. But it also drove album artists back to the LP. Vinyl sales have been doubling every year since 2005. It's renewed an appreciation for the album experience amongst an minority. In many ways it's not so different from the pop scene in the early 60s. Before the Beatles and Dylan changed the game by making the album the artistic statement instead of the single, pop was all 45s. We are in a similar state with digital having such severe aural/artistic limitations. Now we'll probably never go back to huge masses of people buying albums--it is going to be a niche market from here on out. But it's becoming profitable for bands to think in terms of the LP again and that's what matters.
