Shut Up, Dude: This Week’s Best Comments

Shut Up, Dude

It's the 30th anniversary of memorable rock albums by Radiohead, Matthew Sweet, Mad Season, Goo Goo Dolls, Elastica, and Collective Soul so, with apologies to Christina Ricci, let's look back at Billboard's Modern Rock Tracks chart this week in 1995...

I’m supposed to be puppeteering in Sesame Street: The Musical there in a few months and I’m just sitting here like the Ralph Wiggum meme until then.

Nothing to add. The two 10s here are perfectly correct. It was a glorious time to be 15.

hello 'gummers. this is a particularly big week for me as I released my debut album Raw Deal yesterday. I write songs about the little things: love, sex, work, and death. The album is about the fear that market logic has turned even our relationships into transactions -and worse still, that I might be getting ripped off.

8 tracks of rock music you can dance to, plus 2 remixes. It would mean a lot to me if you'd check it out. And if you're in Chicago come see me at Gman in Wrigleyville this Thursday night! https://jackriedy.bandcamp.com/album/raw-deal

I was invited to the Crack the Skye release party at Warner Brothers' offices in midtown Manhattan in 2009.I walked in and started chatting with Brett Hinds.He goes “hold on a sec” and turns around and yells to the room “hey this guy just offered to suck my dick!”.

Good luck, Brett.
