LOOK THROUGH A SIZABLE CHUNK OF MY RECORD COLLECTION, AND YOU'LL FIND THE NAME "DAVE HAHN" LISTED AMONG VARIOUS BANDS' PLAYERS. WHO IS HE? VINNIE BAGGADONUTS BURNED SOME PHONE TIME CHATTING WITH THE MAD MIXOLOGIST/JAMAICAN MUSIC-LOVING GUITAR-SLINGER ABOUT SKA MOBS, THE MAGIC OF THE LIVE SHOW, AND HIS WICKED DUB BAND, DUB IS A WEAPON.
Dave: So, how do we proceed, sir?
Vinnie: Well, we’re pretty much just gonna talk. That’s how I do it. I have a very unprofessional manner. (laughs)
D: (laughs) Excellent. Me, too. That’s how I do it.

So, Mel Gibson’s movie, The Passion Of The Christ, is finally in theaters. And now, of course, the big question on everyone’s lips is: "Who killed Christ?" The Jews? The Romans? Art Modell?
Well, it’s been a long time since I’ve read the Bible-- hard to believe, I know-- but it’s pretty obvious even to my pagan ass that none of the usual suspects are guilty. No, not even Art Modell. If you want to point the finger at anybody, you have to point it at the big guy Himself. Ultimately, it was God who killed Christ.

Oh, John Cena,
What's your pleasure?
I'll do it for you,
My Thursday night treasure.
I watched in awe,
And admired your grace
As you shoved that soap
In Paul Heyman's face.
You are a rebel,
But for a good cause.
And, oh, how you tease,
With those lime green drawers!
Your chest is so ripply,
Your eyes so blue,..
And watching you pump up
Gets me hot, too.
Lesnar has huge muscles,
Big Show's got size.
But neither of them
Are candy to my eyes.
I know that big brute

How often do you get excited about a piece of music? Seriously. How often do you anticipate an album’s release, to a point of feeling genuinely worked up and excited? And when you get that record, do you listen to it over and over and over again? Are you fucking blown away the first time you hear it?
If you’re me, it doesn’t happen too often. But in the last few years, when it has happened, the majority of those records have been Definitive Jux releases.

I barely know anything about Stereolab. I don't know the entire lineup of band members. I've never seen them in concert. I don't even own all of their albums. But even in failing those tests of true fandom, I can easily say that Stereolab is, hands down, one of my favorite bands.
