I weirdly get the same feeling from Doug Martsch’s solo album “Now You Know” as from Izzy Straddlin’s solo album “Izzy Straddlin and the Ju-Ju Hounds”. They’re very different musically but they give me the same vibe emotionally.

You could mash up Velvet Underground’s “Heroin” and Elvis Costello’s “Peace Love and Understanding” into something really really good, even if the messages of the songs themselves… conflict.

You know what’d be great last words? “Computer, end simulation.”

Jesus would’ve been fine with “Happy Holidays”. He would’ve taken an axe to anyone who appropriated the holidays for commerce with “Happy Honda-days”, though. Yet these Prosperity Gospel hypocrites ain’t protesting any of that.

You know what else would mash-up well? Velvet Underground “Oh! Sweet Nuthin’” and Marshall Tucker Band “Can’t You See?”

A 500% tax on anything related to golf would whip this country right back into shape, I tell you what.

Your metal band will be named 101 Damnations.

If Elon Musk were ACTUALLY cool, he would buy the rights to Vanilla Ice’s corpse when he dies (I’m sure he needs the money) and upon his expiration, mummify him and exhibit him as Dry Ice. But nah. Ugly trucks instead.
