1998 was the year I started listening to 10@10. Not coincidentally it was the year I started to backfill much of my CD collection.

WOS3 Offspring.  This song makes me want to punch myself in the face.

AL says it was "hilarious". No accounting for taste.

Vince Vaughan, what happened to you?

A steak every day for the past 13 years, I'd wager.

bwahahaha!  When you make a movie with Kevin James, and *you're* "the fat guy"... you're in trouble.

good ones, both of you... --

And now, the comedy stylings Gaz and RGM!

Think of us as the gay Statler & Waldorf in the balcony of pop culture.

you guys SHOULD do something like that, although I would say think hard about committing to such a rigid literary 'voice' like a cranky pants Statler and Waldorf duo.   it might corner you in some ways and then you'll be sort of apologizing when you are 'nice'  -- then again, maybe that won't be a problem!  ;)

I was fading in and out of consciousness when the radio alarm clock turned this set on, too bad nothing exciting enough to pull myself up came on. 
WOS's to Harvey Danger, Brian Setzer Orchestra, and Cherry Poppin' Daddies.  If I had to pick one, it would be the CPD, easily.  I can understand the appeal of "Flagpole Sitta" and can respect the BSO even if I hate everything about swing.  But "Zoot Suit Riot" is inexcusable and so are the Cherry Poppin' Daddies.  Stupid band name, stupid title, stupid lyrics, subpar music, annoying voice...etc.  One of the worst songs of all time.
That Crystal Method song is NTM & in my half-asleep state of mind was thinking Prodigy.  I will have to tune in @ 10 tonight.
That Offspring song is silly, but not too troublesome.  We enjoyed it back in the day.
I must have fallen asleep again before the Donnas came on.
I'm mad that she didn't take requests because I wanted to request "Time Ago" by Black Lab, "To the Moon & Back" by Savage Garden, "Brick" by Ben Folds Five, & "Spark" by Tori Amos.  Although she mentioned she went for upbeat, which the latter few def. aren't.

hahaha!  you're in good company here on that one.  But when i posted on AL's FB page that the swing revival was one of the silliest things ever, I got a few smack-downs. Fogheadz loves them some swing, apparently.

A fun way to do this might be as a comic strip with us as avatars with thought bubbles.

What do you think of "Tuppy and Saussy"?
