"surely they'll take us more seriously in our new vestments" said the completely wrong Canadian Supreme Court, whose history now includes a limited class action lawsuit against Jerry Glanville and his brief tenure as the head coach of the Atlanta Falcons.

My TV continues to argue with me about my Internet connection in conjunction with my excessive number of streaming subscriptions.

We have reached an agreement.

It will generate errors during crucial game events but I will be allowed to curse ineffectively every time this happens.

Absolutely unrecognizable. It's not even Robert Smith doing the vocals. If I'm not mistaken, it's the drummer who was only there for that album.

I do, however, have a soft spot for an exceedingly nascent Cure covering Jimi Hendrix with all the audacity, verve, and snarky shittiness that should have been expected from a bunch of 19 year olds

There were so many bad nu-metal covers of exceptionally weak tunes and it all leads back to Limp Bizkit covering Behind Blue Eyes and Orgy thinking it could turn a drum preset error into secondhand riches with Blue Monday.

Tough question. Someone salvaging a shitty rock classic is almost unheard of. I know several that spun great tunes into new gold but don't really know what to offer here. stay tuned, though. I have enough overconfidence for everyone!
