Iva Posted December 12, 2014 Posted December 12, 2014 Two days ago, I was getting through crowd after seeing Morrissey live, and I was heading to the bus/taxi station. I heard three 40-something men talk...the conversation was more or less like this: "All of Dookie?" "Yes, all of Dookie...true punk, for the first time in history, right here in our city! You should have been there." "Crap, I had to work." And I was proud for having been there. 1 Quote
unextraordinarygirl Posted December 12, 2014 Posted December 12, 2014 I heard Brain Stew on the radio in a gas station and had a little freak out! I was singing along and getting some weird looks. Quote
Todd Posted December 13, 2014 Posted December 13, 2014 Haha no way?! Love It's Always Sunny It was in the episode "Flowers for Charlie" Quote
Todd Posted December 14, 2014 Posted December 14, 2014 Found a pornographic comic where the main guy is wearing a "Lookout Records" shirt. I'm really fucking weirded out right now Quote
Karl Karlson Posted December 14, 2014 Posted December 14, 2014 Sorry if this was posted before... Green Day's cover of "I Fought the Law" is partially in the movie "St. Vincent" (with Bill Murray and Melissa McCarthy) 1 Quote
AlissaGoesRAWR Posted December 22, 2014 Posted December 22, 2014 Quite possibly the prettiest thing to ever publish in our itty bitty newspaper... 3 Quote
Libertine Angel Posted December 24, 2014 Posted December 24, 2014 Technically not a Green Day reference, but I was on Reddit earlier and this advert showed up. Quote
Jon Benjamin Posted December 25, 2014 Posted December 25, 2014 The movie The Interview says "American idiot" in a subtitled part. 1 Quote
AlissaGoesRAWR Posted December 26, 2014 Posted December 26, 2014 Found this on one of those "worst tattoos ever" lists... the writer criticized the person's taste in music, but Gwen Stefani's name misspelling is also a bit too cringe-worthy for permanent ink. 1 Quote

Hermione Posted December 27, 2014 Posted December 27, 2014 A book of poetry by Aaron Cometbus called Last Supper was published recently and I got it for Christmas. On the last page of the book there's a little note about Aaron that mentions among other things that he "...earned a gold record playing his teeth as a musical instrument." That was on Knowledge on 1,039/Smoothed Out Slappy Hours. 2 Quote
jakdokinori Posted December 27, 2014 Posted December 27, 2014 I've just finished reading a book called 'We Are All Completely Besides Ourselves' by Karen Joy Fowler. During one scene in the book, the characters are drinking in a bar in 1996: 'Green Day's Basket Case pounded from the speakers' Totally didn't expect it and it made my day. 1 Quote
Chin for a Day Posted December 31, 2014 Posted December 31, 2014 Today, I went to NYC and saw Hedwig and the Angry Inch, which is directed by Michael Mayer. Hedwig and the Angry Inch is a fictional rock band and alot of Hedwigs moves on stage were clearly based on Billie. Hedwig was a boy in East Germany and at one point he is talking about American artists he listened to on armed forces radio. He says that he listened to Anne Murray but that she is Canadian but just acts like the American Idiot. They were doing a song and there was 9 screens behind them. They were flashing different pictures while the song was playing and one was a black and white version of the Uno cover It was cool to see Michael throw stuff in 1 Quote

Cool! Although I don't think the Hedwig dance moves are based on Billie. This musical and the character are iconic and pre-date all of this. Hedwig is a punk singer, Billie learned from people like that character and not the other way around. Quote

Hedwig is a punk singer, Billie learned from people like that character and not the other way around. I would have loved to have seen NPH. Michael C Hall was Hedwig. I thought he was very good but some of the songs were a bit out of his range. The Uno picture flashed by very fast. I just happened to catch it. The moves that really stuck in my head was the one that looks like a cross between humping the stage and a push up. Then Hedwig was doing a song where he was perfectly centered in front of the car, he had his legs bent and spread and the microphone stand tilted. It looked exactly like the spoken word section of the Hollywood video. I agree that Billie learned his moves from other artists but since Michael Mayer staged this version of the show from what he knows. That is why I think his association with Billie had some influence. Quote
Todd Posted January 11, 2015 Posted January 11, 2015 Really? My friend was playing in front of me, and got the question "what album was Basket Case on?" He said "oh, this is easy" and clicked on "American Idiot". Right in front of me. Like, he obviously doesn't know me very well, he could've asked. Then he griped about how he likes the Offspring better anyways Quote
