Yeah that Common ad was upsetting. Selling out's not all bad though. The Cartoon Network/MF Doom/Dangermouse(/Matthew Lesko) collaboration was great.

Also, Sage is for backpackers.

what's worse is that commercial that's all over radio and TV that uses the Clash's "Rock the Casbah" and is selling some product that has to do with something about when you cant understand a song's lyrics and the tards are singing "Lock the Cashbox". i hear this f'ing commercial about 3x/hr on the radio...and I still dont know what the damn product is.

It's a phone. It's a TV ad. It licks balls. I think maybe Verizon? I really don't care. It is made of stupid.

Hey, somebody had to represent. If Dylan had only stayed true to folk, Wilson Brother would be the normal one.

REM keep screwing me around with their albums. Green was decent. Automatic was tolerable. Monster sucked. Hi-Fi was amazing. Up was brilliant. Reveal was mediocre. Around the Sun sucked more than Monster. I wouldn't say REM sold out... it's just that quality control got thrown out the window.

I still have my Chronic Town to Eponymous stuff though
