A coworker called me “the biggest snob ever” because I said Taps ‘n Tapes were “garbage” (I do) and because I think My Morning Jacket is the best band ever (I don’t. They are the best of this decade). The irony here is that while calling me a music snob, the Foo Fighters was playing on my iPod. Doesn’t necessarily back up my street cred.

Of course, I could have just said I got into the Foo Fighters when it was just Dave Grohl, but that doesn’t really count as “getting in on a band early,” now does it? Nirvana who?

But honestly, can you really argue against MMJ as the best band of the 2000s so far? No, you can’t. So, don’t try.

Tapes ‘n Tapes is garbage, though. Seriously. You won’t find me at their show on the 27th.
