What are you listening to right now?

^^^ I like the Foo Fighters, but I kind of wish Cobain had punched Grohl's ticket instead of his own (or maybe Courtney's...). It would be a better world...

That guy is in like EVERY punk rock documentary now, generally for no clear reason.

He comes off more like a glomming groupie than a part of the phenomena of interest.

He's turned his presence up to 11 in these things... I'd prefer something around 3

They should talk more to Novoselic instead -- he could probably use the hugs...

I mean, ol' Hank Rollins is also in EVERYTHING, but he has a much more legitimate reason for being interviewed.

Also (even though I will never forgive him for ruining Black Flag -- I liked his Rollins band era work better), Henry Rollins is just a super-cool dude, and generally very entertaining. Anyone caught him doing the "10 things you didn't know about..." series? Not punk rock related; History Channel pap, but fun edutainment

Henry Rollins is multi-talented and seems to be a very intelligent person. Recently he has been the host of a documentary show on History or Discovery (or one of those cable channels) called "10 things you don't know about". It makes me want to read one of his many books. Possibly the only "celebrity" that I would ever want to meet and have a conversation with. Maybe the other being Maynard from Tool just because he is such a freak.

On the other hand, Jello Biafra is a blooming idiot.

These guys (and the genre) are starting to grow on me. Awesome video:

Yeah, I agree. Hank's a bright guy. I've seen all of his History channel specials -- good stuff ("You may think you know history - but I've got 10 things that say you don't" Huh? Ok, Hank...)

As to Jello, I think he's... a little paranoid maybe, but I don't think he's an idiot.

I attended a spoken word performance of his right around when the rest of his band formed the "DK Kennedys", and were allegedly suing Jello for rights to the songs... he's smart, well-spoken, but a little nutty to be sure.

He strikes me as the kind of guy who'd say something along the lines of "Just because you're paranoid doesn't mean they're not out to get you..."

I also attended a spoken word performance, but let's just say that I came away from it with a much different opinion of him. He did leave a large impression with me; to this day I can't buy into anyone or any group's ideology as a whole and I am very skeptical about most things. So you are right, he may be a genius and I should thank him

If the rest of the album is as good as the three songs released my mind will explode through my eyeholes. This is as rock-and-roll and metal as you can get:
