I haven't been a regular contributor to this folder in months. Must it take an epoch for some of you to forget about me?

That's just a really awful post there at the beginning of this thread.

I was happy to get some gay action.

nikjohns really, really hated me, from what I've been told. I don't recall us ever exchanging more than a few words.

I decided it's easier to ask forgiveness than ask permission.

"Stray Cat Blues" is great, one of the best songs on Beggars Banquet. From that particular album, I'm not very big on "Parachute Woman," but even that isn't that bad. Just forgettable. "In Another Land" is good, as long as you can get past the dated vocal distortion. Can you deny that song's chorus? I've said it before, but Their Satanic Majesties Request is one of their best albums. Any album that features "Citadel," "2000 Man," "She's a Rainbow" and "2000 Light Years from Home" shouldn't be dismissed.

Go jerk it to the "Juicebox" video.

You have a lot to be ashamed of, Curry. Don't front.

Sort of a cross between you and me. Except he hasn't learned that you can't have people turn on you overnight. It took a couple weeks of shit talking everyone I didn't like before I became hated. Or maybe he has learned that, and we're witnessing the acension of the asshole Czech. I dunno. I don't care either way; I've only said this much because I'm a little drunk. Hey.

People thought I was subby. They thought we both were Banders.

You guys get Coors? A shame you don't get any of this country's good microbrews, like Avery or Shipyard. The Michelobs and Budweisers of the world are not a good represenative of fine American beer.

See what I did there?

I have this friend who drinks Boddingtons only because he's a rabid Smiths fan.

Parochial thread.

Banky.

Inspired by the Dirtbombs' cover of the Stones' "No Expectations," which I was listening to earlier. They take the lyrics, replace the slide guitar from the original with a fuzzed out bass while the rest of the band runs through a hyper take on "Sympathy for the Devil." It even throws in a little "Hey Jude" at the end. In spite of its gimmickiness, it really, really works. Far better than the Flaming Lips attempt to combine the White Stripes and the Butthole Surfers.

And I've no issue with the way the BSS s/t was mixed. It wasn't just that every instrument was turned to 10; there were too many fucking instruments to begin with. Sheer sonic overkill. Someone, during the recording process, should've said "hey, we don't need 18 guitar overdubs here."

The Real TSM.

Remember this thread? That wouldn't happen today. My brand of tough love made all of you less thin-skinned.

So, did Carnival get really hurt when someone said they didn't like that post he made. Good. This board was losing its former wimpiness.

Carnival is reeling.

"I like all kinds of music, except rap and country."

"Squeeze Box" gets just as much classic rock radio airtime as "Won't Get Fooled Again" or "Pinball Wizard." At least it does around here.

If anything, the s/t needs less production, not more. There's just no subtlety at all. Which is sort of charming, but it doesn't make it conducive for repeat listens.

Never heard the Live at Leeds version. The studio recording is some of the worst faux psychadelia, though. "Squeeze Box" is on the opposite end of the spectrum from "Magic Bus," but it's still so annoyingly fucking stupid. A crime that they'd resort to such an asanine novelty.
