I have always loved the cover for Archers Of Loaf’s White Trash Heroes. Sadly, the album has never received the praise it so deserves in comparison to band’s earlier work. White Trash Heroes was a truly forward-looking album and a remarkable swan song by one of the great indie rock bands of the 90’s.

Admittedly, this joke would be funnier if I didn't have to explain it, but for those of you not from Clevo, I'll let you in on the funny. You see, Crocker Park is one of those new fangled urban lifestyle shopping centers located far enough from the city center so rich, suburban white people can comfortably shop in an urban environment without encountering those things that make shopping in a real urban...

So when the above video was sent to me via email in celebration of the reefer holiday, I just had to put together an impromptu playlist for all you lovers of Mary Jane, and post it up with the video. And what better time...

Wow. Cue the goosebumps. To a college-aged leafblower, the Archers of Loaf were the be all and end all of indie rock. They still are today as far as I'm concerned. [via Frank, keeper of all things Bachmann]...

"Heart it Races" by DR. DOG: Yeah, almost every post I've made this year references Dr. Dog. What of it, punk? Here's their oft-blogged cover or Architecture in Helsinki's "Heart it Races." I'm probably in the minority, but I think this version blows the original right off the map. "Elevator Love Letter" by STARS: Music has just been piling up on my hard drive for years now, and I have had little time...
