Nice - glad you guys agreed that "inadvertent cameos" was the best way to explain it.

Why doesn't the Alkaline Trio just sign to Fat Wreck? I heard they were going to a long time ago (like around the time of Good Mourning) but they couldn't get out of their contract with Vagrant.

Seems like NOFX has gone a bit downhill since Bush was Fat Mike's personal buzzkill in '04, after the Rock Against Bush thing didn't pan out. Saw them in Anaheim last year, ugh, worst show they've put on since I originally saw them in '95. Perhaps they're beginning to struggle for relevancy now that they're over the hill? Cokie the clown? A flower shooting "coke"? Might not be a gimmick, but it's definitely lame.

I liked it. Not one of their best, but still entertaining. Coaster was great. Eddie, Bruce and Paul was funny and ripped. My Orphan Year is one of the most personal songs they have ever done (or at least, in a long time), which is a nice change of pace from all the gimmick songs (Creeping Out Sara, etc...).

Fucking, Punk Rock Joel! Alright, I've had to see this guy at literally 95% of the shows I go to, which means he probably goes to three times more shows than I do and he's got to be in his late 50's, at least. I think that's amazing that they put him in the video. He's an institution.
