Jim, you actually get impressed by stuff? Who knew?

It must be the lower-case thing but I always picture you as terminally unimpressed by everything (that's a good thing).

I was pretty impressed by Hutch Harris of the Thermals. Dude needs to keep his shirt on, though.

34. v/vm

― the surface noise (electricsound), Wednesday, 5 November 2003 23:21 (twenty-one years ago)

I'd take Axl Rose, John Cougar Mellencamp, or Scott Fucking Weiland over Yow or that twit in Rye Coaliation anyday, but what do I know.

(And I saw Yow back when he was in SCRATCH ACID. So there.)

Rollins is one of the WORST frontpeople I've ever seen. But then again, I never saw Biafra or Danzig, who I imagine could be worse.

35. Rob Lowe (bass player) of The 90 Day Men

He gots so much soul, one time I saw them he did a Prince-eske drop down splits then straight back up in a particulary perfect time in the song. I dunno actually, maybe I imagined it.
