I liked it better than Poodle Hat, but not better than Straight Outta Lynwood. Same for Alpocalypse.

I think it's sort of semi-bot - most of the time it's a bot, posting links to news about Al, but sometimes its admin actually logs in and posts under the same user name.

Okay fair enough. Anyway, after all these years of your posts in this thread, he made it to the cover so :Y :Y :Y


This is so exciting to me. Seeing Al's name on the cover of Rolling Stone after reading every issue since 1998, I mean I honestly never thought this would happen. The article was pretty positive, although I did not like the subheadline claiming that he is "ending his career as you know it"...

They're just giving him an idea for an REM parody. :P

Where is he mentioned in this week's issue? I must be missing something. I got new glasses recently, too.

The album reviews section. Same as the one on the internet. I don't have a copy of the magazine on me right now, so I can't tell you which page.
