Perhaps this post is too tame. Not a single response?

C'mon! Give us something!

too hot for comics

Woo!

I thought about commenting on how beautiful Heidelburg is. I got to spend a gorgeous day there once hanging out at a castle and drinking german beer. Watt picked a great place to play a gig.

I heard a Shins song on the radio yesterday and completely hated it -- is that controversial enough for you? Oh yeah, I hated it b/c it was a terrible, terrible song. And it didn't change my life one bit.

I would probably hate the Shins too if all my favorite bands only knew 4 or 5 ways to structure chords, knew only one tempo and spawned generations of clones that repeated the same formulas.

How many Descendents albums do you have? doesn't one suffice since they're all basically the same album?

Face, Very Metal, for good or bad you're a contrarian. Anything that YOU didn't discover you profess to loathe. And it's so ingrained as a behavior that you won't PERMIT yourself to like anything that you didn't discover. So rather than listen to something good (like the Shins) you slink further and further into obscura, a place where YOU are the expert and nobody's opinion counts because nobody knows better.

Shitty psych pop (post-1968/9, anyway) is, well, shitty. Case closed.

Tom, are you just going take this basically retarded besmirching of the Descendents?

Wait, didn't you ask for some controversy, Bonka?

A less arbitrarily-contrarian post would have just said something like "I hate cops", but I figured everyone hates cops. Or pigs, whatever.

Everyone wants to go somewhere where they are the king, eh? And saying to someone, "Your favorite band sucks, they totally bite off Uzi Flower and In The Face's second album. Their live show is copped from a Ropeface tour from 1988," sure makes you look (and maybe even feel, if you're adept enough at self-deceit) like Big Chief Umpa Wumpa.

But at the end of the day, you'll have to face facts. The Beatles are fucking amazing. And so are a lot of other things that basically everybody likes.

That being said, attempting to torpedo the Descendents is goofy. While Descendents/ALL hasn't been relevant since before Pummel, they're (in my opinion) more vital than the Shins. I know you're just trying to get a rise out of Ted, but for the love of god man there are much easier targets for your submarine sneak attack.
