Shut Up, Dude: This Week’s Best And Worst Comments

We won't have an Anniversary post on it, but Sugar's superb power-pop swan song File Under: Easy Listening turns 20 years old tomorrow. How cool is it to see Bob Mould, 35 years into his career, still putting out vital music and kicking ass onstage? As Tom noted when posting Mould's new video today, a clip of Hüsker Dü performing for and being interviewed by the dearly departed Joan Rivers in '87 has been making the rounds. Watch that below if you haven't caught it yet.

There's a lot of bass in Keeler's guitar… because it's a bass.

Actually, judging from this pic, if you do the math, it's Riff with the super huge face.

You have to adjust for distance. Sam Smith is sitting one mile away from the camera.

TL;DR. Oasis' first couple of albums contained a handful of decent songs, but success went to their heads and they've been phoning it in ever since. To this day, I have no idea why these guys remain wildly popular in their native land.

I seriously doubt Richard is influenced by or gives a fuck about Caribou, Burial, or Thom Yorke.

Unspeakably shit. The stuff a young and upcoming band would leave off their first EP because it's just not anywhere near good enough. 11 mins of drivel.

"looking back" at the release of an Oasis album is like watching a turd get flushed down the toilet
