Well, shit.

After yesterday, I have no choice but to publicly admit that I like Avril Lavigne. I have for a while, though to be accurate I don't like everything I've heard from her, and, to make the sexist angle clear, I doubt I'd give half a fuck about her if she wasn't so damned good-looking. Really, man, I'm not the pop-star-lovin' type, but fuck it. I'll swallow my pride and say that I very much enjoy "Sk8r Boi" and "Happy Ending."

There goes any credibility I might've had, but at least I don't like Britney Spears, unlike a certain sibling of mine.

On a related, and unrelated note: what. the. fuck?

First a cell phone, and now this?!?!?!

Next thing you know, you'll see this tragic hipster rockin' gear from the Gap. Those Ambercrombie rags will look great draped over your mildly fleshy frame.

I can't wait for the novel that comes from this transmogrification . When Dayv Schmidt's "Pop Punk Hooey for Popularity" books hits the stands, be sure to pick it up.

Yes....I said that just to type transmogrification. Hooey as well.

This is an intervention, Dave. This is obviously you lashing out for attention.

We hear you.

Stop the madness.

Only you can stop the hurting....and forest fires.

I got nothin'.

If I bothered trying to justify myself, I'd sound like someone else I know, and I don't mean you, Herr Mick. As it stands, I'll keep my wardrobe along its current lines; let's just hope the Gap doesn't start selling Norwegian black metal records or scabrous old metal t-shirts.

Thanks for the intervention, but it's safe to say my sorry is going to remain exactly that.

It's like this post belongs on GroupHug or something.

Nah. It's not that fubared. Unless you went on a pop-punk rampage and got clicked into Blink 182 and Papa Roach.

My fear is that Avril is a gateway drug.

A relatively cutesy image pushing the deadly medicine of burb-punk.

I don't think I have to explain further.

Unflinchingly,

Avril Lavigne is hot! There is no question. Personally, I thought "Complicated" was the best of her stuff so far. I credit Dave with introducing me to Justine Frischman of Elastica. One of the hottest rocker chicks and an awesome band as well.
At some point all music geeks have to realize that their black metal, indie rock blah credibility doesn't mean shit and never did.
From then on you take a little Britney Spears and mix it in with your Black Sabbath, Dr. Octagon, and Bill Monroe and you've got a balanced turn table. - Bill
