A lot of people don't like the direction they took once Gurrewitz left, starting with The Grey Race, I believe, up until Process of Belief, so you're not alone there. I honestly love No Substance, and some of the New America stuff is my favorite, but that's just me.

Honestly, pretty much all of their full albums are easily found on Youtube. I'd say of the newest ones, The Empire Strikes First and Process of Belief are the best bets. I like all of their stuff for one reason or another, but overall I'd say Empire Strikes First is your safest bet as a fan of their old stuff. Not a guarantee, but that seems to be the consensus, generally.

My personal favorite from them is No Control, if that gives you a sense of my taste.

Man, I'd love to just write lyrics and choruses for people. Don't know if Dylan was ever compensated for the song, but I know he's simply written for quite a few people. Wouldn't mind that job; well, I say that, I need to actually write songs to back it up, so I guess I'll get on that.

It's definitely seamless, you could have told me it was just one song, and I'd have had no idea.

Great piece!

I'm still erratically employed (freelance is frustrating), so it's nice to see at least one person with a consistent job, even if it's only a few months at this point. Congratulations! I know how much unemployment sucks. Glad you're out of the woods for a while.

Did you use a particular site to track the job down? I've been having craigslist, mandy.com, and staffmeup.com for the last few weeks up on my computer.

As for Soul Hackers, all I can think of is the 90s movie Hackers with Angelina Jolie that I have vague memories of. So that would be a no, also because I have no 3DS. lol

I love Greatest Hits albums for bands I might not pick up an individual album for, but have enjoyed several songs on the radio from. Saves me money.I know what you mean, though. I'd rather just have Bad Religion's entire discography; I'm still kicking myself for not jumping at the vinyl collection they had when Dissent of Man was new.

I didn't know he was in Hootie and the Blowfish, which is particularly embarassing since he was the lead singer, but then again I'm pretty ignorant about people in bands in general if their popularity came before the early 2000s/ late 1990s. Thanks for showing me the light, so to speak.

And yeah, I have lots of Metallica cause they were by far my favorite band in high school, got me into guitar and were for me a gateway into a lot of music I hadn't paid attention to before, not just metal. And Megadeth appealed to me as underdogs, plus they're just awesome. Very glad I got to see both of those bands live.

I had a chance to see Bebop at a nearby screen, but didn't find anyone to go with. I should have just gone, but I dunno. Caught it at the neighbor's on cable later, and loved the first few scenes so much I bought it the next time I saw it at Blockbuster.

I don't have an XBOX of any kind, but I do sometimes think Windows XP is planning to drive me insane. Its plan usually works. Hopefully, this is not taken to the logical extreme.

And good news and bad news, as there are some things on it that need fixing, hence why he's got mine. Still, certain weight has been lifted by the fact we won't have to debate who gets to go into work what day.

I've never heard his version , may check that out.

The series is definitely better, but I enjoyed the movie as well. I really like the opening scene and song, too, even if it's not "Tank!"

I actually just saw a Dark Souls II gameplay trailer, or IGN interview footage, whatever. Looked pretty decent overall.

Had not really known about the series, but I'll read your Dark Souls Diary entry. I'm intrigued by a game with baby skeletons outside a boss door. Creepy.

Little dark for my tastes, meaning visually, not necessarily content-wise; guess it earns its name. But it is a good fantasy setting for a game. The dragon at the very end looked cool.

My favorite part was the balnk, open-mouthed expression on the interviewer's face between clips. That was amusing to me for some reason.
