Every now and again, we like to look at our favorite comment threads–and this week, with lengthy threads about topics like Judgment Night, Tower Records’ death rattle, and the definition of “emo,” we’ve had plenty of material to choose from. Want to join in? Right this way.

1) An Idolator Challenge: Can You Match Wits With Axl?: “e) Fuck this quibbling over names – I just want to bury my face in Josh Homme’s firecrotch.”–The Mozfather

2) Glenn Danzig Has Some Choice Words About Glenn Danzig: “Wait, Danzig is into gardening and watches Grey’s? How long until he releases a wine?”–MMM

3) Get Ready To Be Miserable: Introducing The Emo Sommelier: “i really thought this was going to be about what sort of wines [not wines] emo bands prefer. talk about disappointment! now ill never know if my chemical romance prefers pintoages over syrah/shiraz…”–MTS

4) The Coulda-Shoulda-Woulda Files: Teenage Fanclub And De La Soul Mash Things Up: “The things I remember most about this release are the utter dreckitude of most songs and the hilarious alternate line-ups that we spent the summer inventing at our radio station. “Lois and The Fat Boys” — YES! (in your best Marv Albert voice, of course).”–DeadlyTango

5) Bought For A Song: Looking For Deals Underneath Tower Records’ Deathbed: “Better: the other week I picked up Tina Turner’s Private Dancer for eight bucks, with tax. If I don’t count the eight bucks I probably spent on the vinyl version 22 years ago (who knows, I was 12 – it might’ve been a Christmas gift), that felt like a pretty good deal to me. On the other hand, woof, has the ’80s production on that record not aged well. (Will the Johnny Cash American records sound like this to us in 2025?) Mark Knopfler’s guitar solo, however, is better than I remembered it.”–dennisobell
