That sift indeed was one which raised my heckles a bit... poor kids. As the museum employee said, many will wake up and see the problem with what they're being told.
One can just hope it's sooner rather than later.
But thanks again

Hey there. I decided to leave you a message after a good amount of time of reading your comments through the random sift videos out there, and I just wanted to say they rarely ever seem to disappoint, and I enjoy them very much.
What motivated me to write this specifically were your comments on "How to Ruin a Trip to the Museum" where you pretty much took the thoughts and emotions that I had experienced and described them perfectly.
So yeah, take care! And thanks!

I really appreciate the compliments.
And yes, I have. My very first concert was when they played at the Ogden Theater in Denver, Colorado. That was back in 1995-96ish, and The Suicide Machines opened for them. I then saw them again a few years later when they opened for Bad Religion in the DU Arena in Denver.
The Ogden Theater was really cool because the place was just so small. And this was back in the day when they had the skeletal masked guy touring with them, and during their encore, he'd breathe fire across the stage, and the whole place would just go nuts. In a tiny, ridiculously hot room like that, the whole experience was just unreal. Definitely one of my best concert experiences to say the least.
How about you?
Ever been to one of their shows?

I've been a fan of Less Than Jake since I was in elementary school (not exaggerating, I'm 21 now).
Less Than Jake's sound comes from their magical ability to bring the crazy energy that you'd get from going to a ska/punk concert, and somehow expressing it to perfection on a studio album. A good example of this would be their album "Hello Rockview!".
The band's drummer, Vinnie, is also rather well known for being the co-founder of what is probably today's biggest pop-rock label, Fueled By Ramen (FBR) Records, who has signed and made such bands as Panic! At the Disco, Paramore, and FallOut Boy. After the label obviously became more about 'Style over Substance', and less focused on the music, Vinnie dropped out of it and went his own way, creating a new record label, of which he is now re-releasing all of Less Than Jake's old albums on.
This song is on their second most recent album (if you exclude their b-sides album that released afterwards), "Anthem". It pains me to say that the album following Anthem, and their most recent, "In With the Out Crowd" is a horrible abomination of everything that Less Than Jake is. It's so bad, that even Vinnie (The drummer) has spoken out saying that the album just 'didn't work'. It lacked the energy that was so excellently portrayed in the earlier efforts of the band, and came out flat, with a very cliche 'radio-pop rock', unoriginal sound.
They're currently in studios working on their new album, promising the great things that made their band original and unique to begin with.
All in all- outstanding band, with a very personal and unique lyricist in Vinnie, and a very fun, bouncy sound.

Strange. I -swear- this was on the Top 15 when I first found this site, but I can't find it anywhere. It was so long ago, though.

“Karaidl, I couldn't agree more about FEAR's 'John Woo' style. Also, it's hard to find a game out even still today that can match just how fun the AI was, with their really smart tactics. But it's short-end, in my opinion, that it became too much of a pattern of the same two formulas. Like, there were two different games in one, one that was a smart tactical shooter, and one that was a ghost horror game. It got to the point where it was basically "Okay, this part is a shooter, so I can expect nothing scary to happen here", "This part is scary, so I don't have to expect any bad guys coming around to kill me anytime soon". Over and over, without mixing it up too much. Too formulaic.”
