The Golden Rule: Music taste is subjective so don't be a gatekeeping asshole. There's no "bad music", only music you like or don't like.

We Are A Community: So no racism, sexism, homophobia, transphobia, ableism, or spam.

I think I could listen to these folks talk amongst themselves all day long. Kim & Kelley are especially funny, as siblings, but they're all amusing and bright and have great stories.

Also, 30 f*ing years. Yikes

I always liked Pod better.

Last Splash was a bigger hit due to Cannonball, but Pod is just a better album.

Britt Walford on drums? Count me in.

Definitely. Pod has an edginess to it that Last Splash doesn’t. I’m not sure if it’s Albini or the band responsible for the atmosphere, but it’s great.

Yah, 4AD messed up by not making a big deal about Pod's 30th. It's been reissued but that's just the original release.
