I should've specified early on that acoustic reworkings of old songs, as well as remix albums, don't count.

I think I said this elsewhere in the thread, but Mao II is good. I've said this before, too, but, for the longest time, I was reluctant to get into DeLillo due to my hefty annoyance with White Noise, but I'm over that now.

Ashamed of what? This thread contains the best post you ever made and one of the very few by anyone to make me legit LOL.

Did I mention that, recently, I gave Don DeLillo's White Noise a fourth go and finally finished it? I did. It's still flawed and overrated, but there's good stuff in it. I am now about 130 pages into his other highly praised book, the 800+ page monster Underworld. I'm liking it so far, though it isn't living up to the very high standard set by its much celebrated "The Triumph of Death" prologue. That alone is easily the best DeLillo thing I've ever read.

My current ringtone is "Black Satin," by Miles Davis. That one gets me stares. When this thread was started, it was probably Roxy Music's "Love is the Drug."

Note I didn't include that in my response. Pretty good album, too. "Don't Go Home With Your Hard-on" is a joy.

My cock in Lord of The Curry's mouth.

I approve of this thread. I don't know how I missed it the first time.

A lot of you don't get the point of this thread. Maybe if I explained my first post: Their Satanic Majesties Request was the Rollling Stones's only foray into full-blown psychedelia. Yes, the melodic pop of the previous album, Between the Buttons, was a slight departure of the blues rock of the band's earlier material, but there was still no mistaking it for anything but a Stones album. TSMR, on the other hand, were it not for Jagger's distinctive vocals, seemed like an entirely different band. Only the one-off single prior to the album's release, "We Love You" b/w "Dandelion," hints in that direction. That the Stones followed this largely dimissed (though, in a select group's—myself included—opinion, loved) album with Beggars Banquet, an album that was easily dirtiest, nastiest bit of rawk they had done to that point—and that they never again attempted psych in the ensuing 40 years—only further isolates Their Satanic Majesties Request's position within the Rolling Stones discography. I suspect a lot of the answers provided in this thread are completely off-base, but, alas, I am not well-versed in the works of Cave In, Pearl Jam, Pantera, etc. to argue. Still, some of you, like 5mod, I don't know what you're thinking. Mentioning anything by Pavement is ridiculous, as is Sonic Youth. And how can you point out Black Flag's The Process of Weeding Out? Were you not aware that it was basically Family Man without Rollins's bullshit spoken word tracks? What about Double Nickels on the Dime makes you think it had nothing to do with Three Way Tie (for Last)? And the Residents? You even acknowledged that it led the way to the albums that followed, but you included it here, anyway.

The new remaster that includes a bonus DVD. It comes out Tuesday, but I got a hold of it early. It's a common misonception that Genesis began to suck after Peter Gabriel left. Not true. They began to suck after guitarist Steve Hackett left, two albums into the Phil Collins-fronted era.

It's a mother's day gift, so I'll be passing on whatever my mom thinks of it.

music: book:

Thanks for posting this here.

Golly gosh, I'd love to have a mass chat with luminaries like Vanhalen and Invader3k!

Why not pin every goddamn stupid thread on the first page.

I like the Shins, though Wincing the Night Away kinda stunk. Also, don't bother seeing them live. I think I've explained why in the past.

Ugh, Barqs is vile. It has caffeine! Root beer shouldn't have caffeine.

Get your root beer hate out of here, you piece of shit. Also, two pinned threads is still two too many.

The Amazing Colossal Episode Guide? I still have that somewhere.

I'm long past the point where soda (which, in the long run, I plan on giving up entirely) has any effect on me other than satiating a fix. On the rare occasion I would drink something coffee-related, just to feel something, I'd have to get a minimum of three or four espresso shots added to it. That usually worked, which was why I rarely did it. No point in finding a new, even worse avenue for my addiction.

Another 100 pages down and I'm really starting to dislike this book.

That's what it's supposed to mean. I've never heard any of these terms used in the MTS3k context outside of the show itself; I assume they were either now outdated mid-western slang or in-jokes among the staff. Maybe both.

The closest I've come to hearing any of those in real life is "batch"; even then, it was meant to convey semen, which, well, comes out of something located in the crotch region.

I've been doing that, yeah.

I couldn't sleep at all last night. I should probably just drink a soda, huh.
