Can someone who wasn't a teenager when American Idiot came out give me an evaluation of the album that isn't intimately tied to ... Everything about being a teenager at the turn of the century that made the album what it is (alternately revered and reviled) to us that came of age along side it?

What does it sound like to someone who experienced actual punk music before hearing this? What does it sound like divorced from the context of the Bush years?

@ajroach42 I was 21 when it came out, so a little older, but I still can't give you that sort of evaluation. It's still very much "of my time."

I mostly remember thinking, when it first came out, "Hey, Green Day is good again."

But, then, I also never considered Green Day punk (I guess they were pop punk, but I came of age during the "alternative music" phase, so we called it alternative back during the Dookie and Insomniac days).

I'm still around, just busy/recovering from hosting a demo party. Have a cat picture.

@yogthos "The danger is extrapolating too far and saying, 'We should raise wages to $30 an hour,'"

:icosan_think: is it though
:icosan_think: is that where the danger is
:icosan_think: you sound very confident about this wholly untested theory you have

The Leonard Cohen posthumous album, “Thanks for the Dance,” is really good.

https://cosmic.voyage just celebrated it's first year in operation. In 365 days we had 283 user-submitted logs to the QEC Relay 001. Amazing job everyone!

I'm putting together the year one anthology now and I'm just giddy. I'm rereading everything as I go and there's some truly great stuff here.

If you haven't been reading now is a great chance to jump in.
