Those first three or or 7" though. Stone classics.


This opener is straight VIOLENCE.

Crowd energy is a wonderful thing, but too much crowd participation starts to feel like you're part of a zealous congregation. I can only imagine what that's like during a song like PTG.
Shellac regularly does a Q&A session (or two) during their set. At the show I was at, one guy dressed in black denim, a black t-shirt, and black eyeglass yelled to Bob "Is your Traynor TS-50B 50w solid-state amp modified with a point-to-point wiring system?!"

Bob yelled "No!" then pointed his finger for the next question. I was so embarrassed to be in that room but the set wasn't even halfway over yet.
This feels like it could be a Simpsons bit.

I hope that at least a couple RMers will digest their new album with me. I had one diehard Shellac fan in my circle of friends but that person is dead now. Hoping to experience this with others, for better or worse.
I don’t know how many times I need to tell you I like shellac. I even punned them for you

I've listened to Dude Incredible many times, and a couple other albums a couple times. I'll be listening to this new one whenever it comes out for sure.

What if Chris Rock posted a picture of a kid on a ventilator, without the spoiler tag?
Weak analogy for obvious reasons.

Look, my sphere of influence in this world is 30” tall and doesn’t even know how to tie her own shoelaces yet. My view is that people’s need to project their sense of justice onto a couple celebrities they’ll never meet is a bigger symptom of our collective sickness than whatever happened at the Oscars last night. It made for entertaining clickbait while I was brushing my teeth I guess.
thank you for sparing me more pain.

help me take the temperature of “fanbini”. could it stick?
