Seriously.  There's a lot going on the the world.  I like AMT because it affords differing perspectives on current events.  It CAN be a good place to discuss relevant and interesting topics.  But so many MANY times these threads get bogged down in circular going-nowhere arguments and spats that veer wildly off topic.  So can we PLEASE just stay on topic, stop the petty bickering, and talk about relevant subjects like the adults we (mostly) are?

    Agreed, Brian.

    This place could use less bitching and whining and more Dinosaur Jr discussions.

    The guy who just started a record store close to me (and sold his own Ragged Glory vinyl in the store) asked if I wanted to buy his Dinosaur Jr vinyl. I told him no. But he had a few from his own collection he was selling in the store. And J Mascis solo stuff.
