if you have a Windows iPod, use EphPod. it kicks ass over that MusicMatch bloatware.

We're A Happy Family, the Ramones Tribute album is out this week. Some of the covers are okay (Eddie Vedder, RHCP) and others really suck (Marilyn Manson, Pete Yorn, Metallica). First off, it's so wrong putting out a Ramones tribute album that doesn't include tracks from either The Queers or Screeching Weasel. If you want a real tribute, get The Queers - Rocket to Russia or Screeching Weasel - Beat is on the Brat which are covers of entire Ramones albums. Or listen to The Queers - I Wanna Be Happy from Pleasant Screams, which is a written by Joe Queer and Ben Weasel around an unfinished Joey Ramone demo. Now thats a tribute.

listening to The Liars - This Dust Makes That Mud. that riff you hear on their site repeats for 25 minutes on this track.

i love epics.
