Mike Ness would like to arch his eyebrow at you

When I saw TSOL open for Flag I was all "damn Ron Emery looks like he should be in Social Distortion" then I looked it up later and I guess he was/is

Shakes, I don't think anyone is arguing that Social D isn't corny, but they have some jams.

LA Prison Bound is a good album if you like the s/t, transitional album into that style

cheating at solitaire is supposed to be pretty good, idk how much it departs from the SD template

I worked on a movie crew with a guy - I think he was a grip - who had a misspelled Social Distortion tattoo (I think it was 'Social Disortion') and he was already probably the toughest and scariest looking guy I've ever seen in my life but the tattoo just made him extra badass. And he was really nice probably because he knew everyone knew he was a total badass.

i think 7-11s are a lot smaller than pool halls though and the dimensions are all off, most pool halls seem more narrow and deep and 7-11s are more square shaped. idk, seems like a lot of work.

in other news, the farms of ohio weren't literally replaced one-for-one with shopping malls, it's more that landscapes that used to be dominated by farms now contain shopping malls, as well as other car-oriented retail and standalone offices

This was a Pizza Hut
Now it's all covered with daisies

Lol this 7-11 thing it's song lyrics weirdos

I fell into a
Burning ring of fire
Then they called an ambulance
To take me to the emergency room
Because I had third degrees burns

The thing is, at the point that they'd paved Paradise, it already WAS a parking lot, no further action required, except I guess to paint some lines.

unless she in fact meant "parking ramp" or "parkade"

in which case why would they need to pave it first, wouldn't they need to dig a foundation or something?

honestly the paving-&-putting-up-a-parking-lot thing has bothered me for YEARS

I feel like that song has been bait over the years for Xtian bands who want to cover or play secular music but can't find a song wholesome enough that it won't piss off their fanbase.

At a Hawaiian restaurant and Date Rape just came on lol.

Never get lei'd

Interesting account of Bean’s final morning show: https://variety.com/2019/music/news/kevin-bean-poorman-kroq-1203397135/

Looking up some of the songs I don't recognize, I'm amazed at how many of them are completely lacking a melodic hook (Dramarama, Social Distortion) or even a chorus ("Brain Stew"). I guess they resonated with people solely on the basis of production & lyrical 'attitude'? (Cf. that recent paper on timbre as distinguishing mark for indie/alternative music)
