Morrissey's playing here in July and I'm going. I'm far from a Moz fanboy, but I'm pretty excited about this.

Maybe. Ask the board's Canadians, though, as—not counting his work with Red Rider—Cochrane was a one-hit wonder in the states.

Assuming ad companies would care enough to use his music for ads to begin with. They won't. I believe I've said this before, but if Axl had any sense in his head (which, obviously, he doesn't), he'd release Chinese Democracy as is and quickly record a follow-up without any of the bullshit or expectations of the previous album. Get CD out of the way and show them that you can still bring it. Unfortunately, I believe Axl has long since passed any capacity to "bring it," so he'll keep delaying the release of Chinese Democracy long past relevance—which he's presently stretched thin outside of the diehard—or until his death, which, let's be honest, is more likely to happen rather than a proper album release.

I'm currently listening to this for the second consecutive time and will likely go for a third time.

I think my "Life is a Highway" thread has rendered all other music-related youtube threads irrelevant.

Does Sensei John Kreese still think this album will turn a profit?

I considered downloading it, but why spoil the magic of this one song.

Save for a couple of spots, the mellotron on Lizard isn't as intrusive as it is on the first two albums. Speaking of which, I was listening to this in my office today, when someone stopped by to talk to me right when this real mellotron-heavy part hit of whatever song (I can't recall which one) was playing. I was embarrassed.

I picked up Lizard a few weeks ago, but am only just now mentioning it. I really dig the horns and overall jazziness of this album, but the whole doesn't mesh as well as it should. There's a lot of fantastic moments here, but no fantastic songs. (However, the "Prince Rupert Awakes" movement of the title track comes close.) Though they ultimately went on to the holy Larks/Starless/Red trinity, I wish this line-up of the band had stuck around a bit longer, to see if they could've stretched those high marks across an entire album rather than sporadically. Still, Lizard gets a passing grade. Even though its considered the worst KC album of that era, I'm gonna buy Islands, sound unheard, next. Then I'll have every studio album from In the Court of the Crimson King through Three of a Perfect Pair.

Man, I wanna see LCD Soundsystem live. I was listening this album earlier today, thinking they'd be fools not to open every show with "Someone Great." (And closing with "All My Friends.")

Looking at this thread is enough to get this song stuck in my head for approximately the next hour. I don't mind.

To his credit, that's the most unflattering result via an image search.

I WANNA RIDE IT ALL NIGHT LONG

Yes. 1992 was the last year I viewed MTV with nothing but fondness.

Oh, I was 13, watching MTV, when I first saw the video linked above. The breakdown near the end of the song, of just the drums and anthemic chorus, was as thrilling then as it is now.

Let's not act like the Rolling Stones haven't been awful for the last three decades.

Your argument didn't hold much water to begin with, but you lost any ground you may've had by admitting that something or someone—Dane Cook, in your case—can be terrible. I have no problem saying the public-at-large has abominable taste.

I downloaded this song yesterday; I've since listened to this about five times. This song, from 1990, falls in a period of time in Pop's career where he was trying on a singing voice that he completely copped from pal David Bowie. It wasn't a bad one, though he lacked Bowie's expressiveness.

It was one of the few Stones songs I liked back when I didn't much like the Stones.

Oh, change that "some stuff from" Trout Mask Replica to "all stuff" from it, ASAP.

Check out Lick My Decals Off, Baby and Doc at the Radar Station.

Oh man, Austin Winkler.

"Trashy" is not a word I associate with the Stones post-1978.

What's going on here.
