Eeew!! Please don't use that word!! It grosses me out.

I believe that word should only be used as a suffix, with a "-" before it, and only when describing a person's interests and hobbies. In a romantic context it just sounds creepy. :p

I live a few blocks from a high school.

They're having a football game or some shit.

Anyway, the marching band's playing "Seven Nation Army."

60 or so not-very-talented tweens and teens blasting the riff are currently coming through my window.

Hilarious. Awful. Yet kinda catchy.

The Black Keys didn't even become a remotely listenable band until Attack and Release. Brothers is ok, El Camino is better but in actuality, they're milking this whole "bad news girlfriend" theme..

I bet the fuckers who booed eventually became fans and nowadays tell people, "Yeah, I saw them back in the day. I was into them before anyone else."

Haha, how things have changed in Baltimore!

I've wondered what Jack White thinks of this tune becoming essentially THEE sports chant. The Baltimore Ravens fans chanted in unison, 70,000 chorus last year. The Miami Heat fans are notoriously obnoxious with it at home at the American Airlines Arena. Really though, I wonder if Jack is either flattered or pissed off. Kurt Cobain was practically mortified when he found out jocks loved Smells Like Teen Spirit.

first four albums unequivocally rock

"Mighty and Superior" by Conflict

Listen to the first few seconds. Remind you of a certain WS riff?

This should go in "Songs That Remind You of Other Songs" thread. I'll do that now.
