I exercise this discretion for everyone's sanity. Pumping the brakes that don't pass my own sniff test is a public service.

I'm bummed I missed it. Need a good groan every once in a while.

My Chemical Romance doesn't have integrity, right? I think that's why I never listened to MBV, because I assumed they were the same.

Correct, My Chemical Romance doesn't while My Bloody Valentine very much does.

MBV basically pioneered a genre while MCR grabbed some of the schlockiest parts of some other genres, put it in a blender and solid it to the Hot Topic crowd.

You might not like MBV, but I would suggest you would at least recognize the craft of the work. Try their album Loveless and if it doesn't do anything for you, I expect you can call it a day.

@Lord Defect you can go whenever you're ready. I'll pick when I get a chance but I'm not sure when that'll be.

I heard Slowdive for the first time maybe six months ago. I liked them, but I wasn't necessarily moved by the music. The MBV I have been listening to sounds pretty similar, and I can definitely hear the quality. I'm just too old to be starting something like that now. I'm sure I would have liked it much more if I had listened at the time. I'm happy to have my opinion of MBV reformed after all this time, though.

Team: PORTLAND FOG

Category: WILDCARD

Selection: BEER FESTIVALS

All of the teams have acquired an impressive collection of stupid Hockey players, interesting personalities, and talentless hacks.

We need a reason to bring them all together outdoors to get loaded on occasion.

Where better than a Beer Festival?

Pre-Covid I was going to about 2 per year for the last 7-8 years. Some of my favorite recent memories with friends are at beer festivals. Grab a tasting glass on the way in and drink to your hearts content. The best strategy is to fill up your glass and head for the next line and drink your beer in line. By the time you get to the next pour, your glass is empty and ready for more.

Are you in detention again?

Who was I getting them mixed up with? Like a few bands all melded together in my head. I know Rocket from the Crypt is one, but it feels like there is another one.

(To the general Quackverse public: As far as naming names goes ... get a grip. This doesn't matter.)

By the way, it has now been 490 days since I last hit the correct key I was aiming for the first time with my typing.

Sure you don't mean Rocket from the Tombs? Kidding, that was a fairly obscure early punk band. Rocket from the Crypt was more of a punk band that leaned into their 50's rock n' roll roots. What Green Day might have been if they were cool and added a horn section. Scream, Dracula, Scream is an underrated gem.

I actually slept on MBV for a long time, I tended to pay way more attention to this side of the Atlantic in general. Then one day 10-15 years ago, XPN played When You Sleep and suddenly it clicked for me. College Radio for the win!

Is it a day that ends in y?

An oddly important band! Without them, there's probably no Dead Boys.

How else will Jack and Dougie know that we covet them?

Speaking of Jack, I recently discovered that one of my best friends' sisters has been texting with Jack Hughes for the last few months.

I still confused myself occasionally. I wish I was joking.

But while I have you here, give me suggestions for songs or acts to run through some ML algorithms for custom Beat Saber levels please. This goes for anyone else too. It helps very much to have an obvious instrument or instruments pushed to the front, otherwise it can sometimes focus on drums and my brain doesn't work like that.

Some random examples of mainstream bands/songs that I've found work very well -- RHCP, Earth Wind & Fire, White Stripes, Gorillaz, "Rasputin," and all sorts of hip hop or dance as you would probably expect.

Absolutely no weeb shit, please. I'm glad others can enjoy it, but it's not for me.

Jack D. Hughes, the forward eligible for the 2022 draft?

Jack *I don't know his middle name* Hughes, the forward selected first overall by the shitstains from Newark.

"Song 2" by Blur has that guitar in the front for the non-choruses (or words to that effect). And then, of course, Babymetal.

I don't know what that is, but maybe Helicopter by Bloc Party?

Adding this to the list, thanks.

It's a rhythm VR game where you slash boxes with your sword-hands synced to beats that is significantly more fun than it looks.

 

[Captain Dave Poulin]

Oh, you BASTARD. Right call, but still.

 

[Captain Dave Poulin]

Oh, f*** yes. "Sunday" has those amazing drums in it, too.
