RPM Turns 10

Revolutions Per Minute (RPM from here on out) by Rise Against is turning 10 years old on Tuesday and this is just absolutely insane to me.  This is one of the first records where I'm like "man I remember the exact place I was when someone played this for me".

Coca-Cola's Rosetta Stone And More From Phoenix- A Reivew

Four springs ago the radio was flooded with the sounds of this catchy song about last call in the fantasy version of Paris, it soundtracked every WB teen-angst TV show out there, and wouldn’t go away.  But did anyone really want the French New Wave darlings, Phoenix, to go away?  Such a fun poppy band, the world should be asking for more of them and less of the other crap floating around out there.

Eastern Conference

#1 Pittsburgh Penguins vs. #7 Ottawa Senators

This is an interesting matchup because the Penguins struggled to overcome the mighty New York Islanders and newly revealed superhero John Tavares. Meanwhile the Senators managed to stop being incredibly boring in the wake of the Habs descent into villainy. The Pens will have to show that they can overcome another mediocre team without their absurd egos popping and getting Lemieux-goo all over the shitty parts of Pennsylvania.

Watch footage from mid-90's Descendents/ALL Documentary

This collection of punk musicians sharing how the Descendents & ALL influenced them comes by way of filmmaker Chip Guthrie. Chip is a longtime friend of the Descendents/ALL crew and is a partner in Wounded Heart Press, a screen-printing business, with ALL singer Chad Price.  In the mid-90s, with various punk bands finding mainstream success, he started gathering footage for a documentary(working title was ‘ALLUMENTARY’) on the two bands. Unfortunately, the project had to be shelved and the footage has been sitting unused for years. UNTIL NOW...when he uploaded it to youtube.
