I saw it last night and it was pretty much the same situation, a sold out house full of adults, but it sure seemed like we all left feeling a little younger. Anyone who can sit through it without feeling a tinge of sadness as Carol howls at his departing king must be made of stone.
My friends called me a loser and threw french fries at me when I said I had to hurry home to see who the top five monsters were this week, but who's laughing now? The guy who just got 2nd place, that's who. I can't wait to tell my mom. She's going to be so faced.
Your constant spamming is TEARING ME APART, LISA!!!

The album ratings are the opinion of the specific writer assigned to review that album, while this list is the result of a vote by everyone at P4K. There are bound to be some discrepancies between the two.
I've never understood it when people claim that I must be "pretending" to enjoy a band based on their particular aversion to them. So you don't like Dirty Projectors, that's fine, I'm not particularly fond of McDonald's, does that mean that everyone else eating it happily on a daily basis is faking it? No. Different people have different tastes, musical or otherwise. It's not that big of a deal.
He's been here this whole time.....watching us. What's that technojeremy? I have a right to be here, it's school business! Technojeremy, that sailor suit doesn't fit anymore!
That's such a cop-out. The band's drunken stage antics hardly excuses Jared's choice of words, or his asshole actions. He walked up to a stranger and basically said, "You're a faggot and I don't like you..." then recounted the event as if he were proud of it. Yup, sounds like every homophobic asshole I went to high school with.
"Lo-Fi, I love you but you're bringing me down."
I enjoy both bands and could care less about their little hissy-fits, but one thing I can't stand is the casual homophobia that seems to flow from Jared's mouth. I know his band is stuck in the sixties, but it's actually 2009 now and that shit doesn't fly anymore.
The episode after his father passed away melted my cold metal heart. If you never saw it you owe it to yourself to watch, but grab some tissues first:

When I was ten I was swinging some crutches around like a madman in our living room and my five year old sister walked in and took one to the head. I also accidentally hit a cousin in the face with a small hammer when I was fifteen.
They already had a Jesus-Girl on the previous "cycle". Her name was London Levi, she was gorgeous and was eventually eliminated for gaining weight.
I hate myself for knowing that.
The Lost Weekend at Bernie's
Side note: As I was typing that my friend looked at the computer screen and said, "'Vampire Weekend at Bernie's' would be funnier."
He's right, but that would be a different game altogether.
I think they should have gone with "No Intention" instead.
I played the album at work to a bunch of people who had never heard them and it was the only song everyone enjoyed. To people who are already fans of the band it can seem like sort of a boring song, especially since it's sandwiched between two monster tracks on the album, but for the uninitiated it's probably the easiest to enjoy.
Also, everyone I've played the album to hates "Stillness Is The Move".
Whatever.
MF Doom.
He's got a crazy discography spread across albums under several different aliases and a ton of guest appearances. Include the best of those and throw in a few tracks from his early 90's KMD days and you've got a great compilation.
"Jane Doe" was the soundtrack to my first year at college, so Converge will always hold a special place in my heart. I still think Ben Koller is one of the best drummers I've ever heard. This track just made my morning.
Dinner, here I come.
Lyrical God, only you can save us.
