@SuperUnison: Download NPR's podcast of Broken Social Scene Presents Kevin Drew at DC's 930 Club. Not only do they cover Pavement and Dinosaur Jr. back-to-back, they even regularly buddy around with J. Mascis (sp?).

@DavidWatts: Yeah, it's cool to take advice from people who use the word "retarded."

I agree with the Taylor Hicks/Robert Palmer statement. I also think Michael Johns could tear up some Robert Palmer and step it up another notch.

Can't that song DIE, and leave a man in peace with his drink?

Maybe. Does the Maytals' version get an exemption?

I'd welcome the return of 4 for 1, cheap Long Island Teas, the smoke machine, and space-rock like:

Note the young Rick Derringer playing guitar... Mopey drunken excess like:

And of course, with the smoke theme:

One of my main gripes about bars in the 1970s was walking in, and at least half would crank up "a-Louie-Louie! Oh, yeah. We gotta go now.." Indeed. And unfortunately, it is STILL happening in 2008. Can't that song DIE, and leave a man in peace with his drink?

Bring back acid house. As soon as I scared up about $10,000 for a vintage 808 and TB-303, I could score some club hits. And my musical “skills,” frankly, suck ass.

@whoneedslight: Though even Huey Lewis has bastardized this. I heard a live track on Pandora, and now he sings "Too hip to be a square", which just friggin' KILLS me inside.

@whoneedslight: Their earlier work was a bit "new wave" for my taste...

@Dick Laurent is dead.: Please direct me. I need to hear bands that own Dinosaur Jr. records.
