Really shocked that Double Nickels didn't go earlier. The Minutemen fall into the "'80s bands I didn't have time to investigate when I got into alternative in the '90s" category, but I know how revered they are, and that album in particular.Originally posted by Kevin SeitzerWe pinch ran for Altuve specifically to screw over Mith's fantasy team.

I've never listened to that Chris Isaak record (will check it out), but this seems like a good opportunity to post that awesome Helena Christensen video. I especially love the echoey guitar sound that Helena mastered on this recording. She created a real sense of despair and loss. Shame she didn't make more topless records.

I think I'll have to take my Pogues recording soon.Considering his only baseball post in the past year was bringing up a 3 year old thread to taunt Hornsby and he's never contributed a dime to our hatpass, perhaps?

I got a copy of Empty Glass on vinyl just last week...I was surprised how much I liked it, good pick.If DMT didn't exist we would have to invent it. There has to be a weirdest thing. Once we have the concept weird, there has to be a weirdest thing. And DMT is simply it.
