a wonderful band that formed in the mid 80s somewhere in Massachusetts. They practically played 'grunge' and 'alternative' before those terms became a vogue around 1991. Members are J Mascis on guitar and most of the vocals, Lou Barlow on bass and Murph on drums (with images of sunshine faces on the bass drum heads). All their albums are pretty good, 'Green Mind' from 1992 recently got a reissue with bonus tracks. While many other alternative bands have imploded or bit the dust, Dinosaur Jr. is still around and if anything is to be said, they're even better now than ever before.
1. In 2018 I saw Dinosaur Jr. at a beerfest in Marengo, Ohio and it brought me back to my college days. After everything that's come and gone, musically and otherwise - it's good to see these troopers still in the game. J Mascis now has long white hair, a long white beard and he looks like a wise man. He still sings 'softly' and his guitar playing is fierce and LOUD. And their recent CDs are better than previous. They're better than ever.
2. in 2021 during lockdown Dinosaur Jr. released a new CD, 'Sweep It Into Space'. It's very good. They made a few videos for it, but the pandemic kept them from touring to promote it. So they put on a free internet show for the NPR web page, playing in an empty ballroom with just a cinematographer. On the stage they had namesake toys - inflatable dinosaur toys of several species, Muppet dolls (like Animal and Ernie), a John Denver and the Muppets Christmas album, a Rolling Stones 8-track tape and other props on the stage and for 45 minutes they rocked the house (sans audience). They were as electric and stellar as when I saw them 3 years before and they made my day. Thanks, guys. Now let's stay safe for the better times to come.

a loudmouth obnoxious clown featured on a local TV show on the cool cartoon strip and TV Saturday morning series Garfield. Garfield the fat cat, on his cartoon show hosts the feature "Screaming With Binky", where Binky is known to come up behind you and scream "HEYYYYY KID!!!!" or something like that, just to startle you. He comes up to a kid building a sand castle and screams at him, demolishing the sand castle. He comes up behind a diamond cutter, screams at him, disrupting his concentration and making him mess up his work. Garfield, ever so sarcastic, finds Binky annoying.
Garfield switches on the tube because it's time to watch the TV show hosted by the obnoxious Binky the Clown.

Fascism has appeared in many nations over the past 80-odd years. Look up the histories of Germany, Italy, Japan, Brazil, Spain, Zaire, South Africa, Greece and other countries that have had fascist governments or do today.
Quote:
When fascism comes to America, it will be wrapped in the flag and carrying the cross.

1. an overrated chump Britpop band that got great success and critical adulation in the fucking PC 90s and still gets it today. Singer Thom Yorke whines lyrics full of angst and painful references. The other players ain't so hot either. They first hit it big with "The Bends" in 1995 and their 1997 album "O.K. Computer" was declared a "classic", comparable with the Beatles' "Sgt. Pepper's Lonely Hearts Club Band" and Pink Floyd's "The Wall". Yeah, right. 2000's "Kid A" has also been declared a "masterpiece", but that just shows what a wasteland popular music has become. That album is just pompous, pretentious crap. Radiohead is a critical "darling" favorite just like that other Britpop dud, Oasis. Ha ha ha.
2. "Radio Head" is a cool, catchy number found on the 1986 album "True Stories" by the unique American New Wave band Talking Heads. The song title inspired the name of the overrated British band.

1. Radiohead gets compared to U2 and Pink Floyd alot and that is a crock of shit. Their music is just artsy-fartsy tedium with whiny vocals. All their albums are boring rubbish.
2. The song "Radio Head" is pumped up by a guest accordion player. Get the "True Stories" CD and check out this and the other fine cuts on this album.

1. a day set aside to smoke grass.
2. a poser punk band from Oakland, California that whines about boredom. The singer sounds like he has a pile of shit in his mouth.

1. Let's have a green day!
2. the best thing you can say about the Green Day CD "Dookie" is that it has some tenth-generation Ramones chords on it.

1. an absolutely gorgeous and righteous girl. She's so lovely beyond belief and she is calm and mild-mannered. She is smart and intelligent but she is no geekess. She is radiant, a goddess of love.
2. a female name, meaning "heavenly".She may or may not be a sex goddess as described in the above definition.
3. the last name of Richard Celeste, who was governor of the state of Ohio during the 80s and early 90s.

1. that girl is wearing a tight glittery blue mini-dress, she has long jet black hair down to her waist and her stout hips, her skin has an olive hue and complexion, her eyes are so radiant, she has a nice figure and her legs are strong. She can play the cello and the acoustic guitar, she's a voracious lit reader and she can do synchronized swimming. She's a beauty, a cutie, a goddess, she's a CELESTE.
2. I knew a girl of that name in the 5th grade. In our talent show she was in a glittery majorette costume twirling a baton. That's when I knew the source behind my "physical sensations" AKA "growing up" ; )
3. Governor Dick Celeste is a man. No doubt about it.
