I feel very cool because I've met and done shows with two people mentioned in this edition!

One may scoff because of course they were Kip Addotta and Dr. Demento but I stand by my excitement!

Eyelids manage my local franchise of Jangly Dad Rock Outlet & Flannel Emporium. My band the Stick Arounds have been stuck in the assistant manager's position for a decade now., ever so envious of our superior's mid-level retail success.

Translation: That shit might as well contain strands of my DNA. SO good.

Thank you for taking care of that ridiculous meme stuff so I didn't have to track down its origins and sign up for some off brand Disqus in order to comment.

I was a semi-regular on a Sirius XM game show for a while (shout out Jim Shearer), as a sort-of coach that helped call in guests win prizes. One of the prizes was a Def Leppard LP or box set, and I remember saying "man, I'd give an arm or a leg for that Def Leppard box" and no one caught it until I explained it during commercial break. I was quite proud of myself.

I've been the world's biggest Hold Steady fan since the early aughts, but my vote goes to T.M.I. this time. I love everything you said about teeny-bopper revival. So true!
