Old people

The only band I can think of that's over 20 years old and, as far as I can determine, has never put out a bad album is Pere Ubu.

While passing through Knoxville this past weekend, I dropped by a record store called the Disc Exchange. They had the new Mars Volta playing, and when I went up to pay for my stuff, the guys who work there wouldn't shut up about how awesome they thought it was. I told them that it was one of the worst things I had ever heard in my life. I did this while paying for two Manowar records, so, you k

I get bored at work, and I have a lot of loser friends who are on this thing. I'm just going to read the stuff they post. I probably won't post anything, but if I did it'd probably be about Slayer.
