maximum jack commented on Stan Schwieger's group Typing Dead"It's a fun show to watch and get mad at, but as someone alluded to below, if you are cheering for the death of some of the main (good guy) characters, there is something wrong. Other than it's huge popularity, it does not even begin to…"
maximum jack commented on Stan Schwieger's group Typing Dead"Don't get me wrong, I still watch this show religiously, but if you go back and watch the first episode, doesn't the series feel like a complete letdown? I mean, at this point, the only character I give a shit about is Daryl. I…"

Bruce Brodeen replied to maximum jack's discussion Now Playing. in the group Power Pop Geeks Unite!"Don't forget Ward previous band...The Pontiac Brothers. Made 3(that I can recall) pretty darn cool late-era Replacements style albums.

maximum jack replied to maximum jack's discussion Now Playing. in the group Power Pop Geeks Unite!"I picked up Connections - Private Airplane a couple days ago and have been wearing it out.

Kristofer Rönström said… - Ok, so here it comes - the three best power pop songs all time:
Squeeze - "another nail in my heart"
