Interesting list - This might be the most Rockin' list yet (excepting Mermaid Ave.) And just when I think I understand your musical tastes, you throw something like Girl Talk - Feed The Animals or Neil Young - Mirrorball at me.

wow. gaunt. cool.

I never expected to see Nashville Pussy on any list.

I saw them open for Headstones twice but I was thirteen at the time so all I remember is that one of the girls wore a mesh top with nothing underneath and you could see her nipples. Couldn't tell you if their music was any good or not.

i'm surprised by how much this board like pearl jam

fuck yeah on Avail. It's too bad they peaked on that record and nothing's come close since.

I was prepared to ignore this list but I have to give you props for including Nashville Pussy. I want to see them when they come through here in a couple months but I literally cannot find a single person who doesn't hate them.

That record is pure mongerdom hopped up on crystal meth. No way to not break the speed limit if you listen to it while driving.
Interesting; I was at a New Bomb Turks/Quadrajets show a couple months ago. Look over to my left at one point and there's Blaine Cartwright standing right next to me rocking the fuck out. Pretty awesome.

But yeah, great fuckin' record.

I like And Out Come the Wolves, I just couldn't bring myself to fit it in my top 100. I don't know any of their other records though. Recs, anyone?



I can't think of another show I have been to this year that was as energetic as the one put on by these guys (and gal).

this one is so weirdly stacked full of the dumbest shit in the oddest places.

I've never witnessed an instance where someone seeing them for the first time hasn't been blown away. A pantheon band for me, without a doubt.

Thanks!

Nice to see Bleed American so high.

Not so keen on Nebraska. In fact, to my ear, it is OPEN GAR.

Yeah, lots of crossover. Midwestern bald brain-sharing in effect. Omm....
