What Are You Listening To Right This Very Second?

[Greggulator]

Lance Hahn of J Church died five years ago today. J Church is one of my favorite bands of all-time.

For those not familiar, J Church's sound was very much on the higher end of 90s pop-punk and wasn't afraid to steer away from that formula into a broader range. In fact, anytime I listen to One Mississippi I think it's the best pre-Green REM album ever made.

On top of it, Lance was one of the most literate songwriters in punk in the 90s. Jawbreaker and the DC emo bands rightly get a lot of acclaim for taking punk and hardcore into a serious direction in terms of songwriting and musicianship. But, damn it, J Church might be the best of the lot and people sleep on them.

Thanks for all the songs, dude!

Problem with translation, Barry.

Same thing happened with the donkey video.

I think it could be because that riff is in Welsh, Fredericks. Something about mines, choral singing, and rugby, as far as I can make out.

I found the Suicide album in the $4 bin at lunchtime. Tonight it's time for the Frankie Teardrop challenge.

This is what it says on the video screen:
"The uploader has not made this video available in your country.
Sorry about that."

Absolutely.  Life took over for a bit, but I'm coming back!

I missed the board and FOT. I'm excited to see you're  still here, Fredericks.
