Spears uses her sexuality as a selling point, which is something that famous people—be it actors or those in the music industry—have done for decades. Yes, there was a period of time when Spears was trying to pass herself off as something that might resemble a role model for the young people, but that time was years ago. I don't see why anyone other than an uptight grandma would get in a tantrum over some exposed flesh and risque dancing.

The film version of F+L took all the chaos of Thompson's prose, but had none of the style to pull it off. All sound and fury etc. etc. etc.

I'd assfuck tominator89 missionary-style, just so he could see me enjoy it.

If Britney Spears is a slut, then starvenger is a prude.

Maybe someone should start a thread denouncing those bands that license their songs for use in commercials. omg what coporate whores

What would be the point of this? No large scale venue—the sort that would book a major artist that might also lip synch (like Ashlee Simpson)—would stand to benefit from instituting such a policy.

Anyone who gets in a moral outrage over lip syncing is naive. The music industry is a shallow creature, concerned with superficiality and moving units; to complain that they don't push "real talent" is moot, because talent doesn't sell.

The other day, I tried redeeming one of those Pepsi bottle caps that allows you one free download from iTunes. Doing so proved to be such a hassle that I gave up before completing the transaction. Ya know, I like spending money on music, but I need something tangible. Paying for mp3s is about the dumbest thing.

Also, the Circle Jerks did a better job with "I Wanna Destroy You" than the Soft Boys, but motherfuck a Circle Jerks, mostly. The Soft Boys were better than your life, not to mention Keith Morris' midget ass.

TV On the Radio's cover of "Mr. Grieves" is superior to the original. Bauhaus's cover "Ziggy Stardust" is inferior to the original. I don't blame anyone for not thinking so of the former, but anyone who disagrees with the latter is batshit fucking loony.

Also, rare is the day I can, to completion, masturbate to pictures. If it's neither video nor my imagination, I might as well not jack off at all.

Whiskers is my only regret from my time on this board. That it was so popular makes it hurt even more.

Speaking of Stars of the Lid, one-half of that act makes up the Dead Texan. The Dead Texan has an album of the same name, an album that is a bit more song-oriented (but not really) than SOTL's stuff, and might be a bit more accessible to those who have an interest in ambient-type music. Oh, the Dead Texan cd comes with a DVD of visuals to accompany the tracks. I've only skimmed the videos, but it seems a little too faggy for my liking. Not the good kind of faggy, either.

Come On Die Young is Mogwai's best album, though the consensus has it being their weakest. It's also an album that, unlike every other Mogwai release, demands you listen to it from start to finish—each of its 67 minutes—for maximum enjoyment. I should mention I like the way this album builds. The first half is all mellow and nocturnal, before launching into "Ex-cowboy"—which very subtly introduces white noise into the mix—seguing into "Chocky"—which continues the trend, albeit in a less discreet fashion—concluding with the totally awesome "Christmas Steps"—which starts in the same leisurely fashion of the songs from early in the record prior to launching into some fucking killer metal riffing. Overall, the album requires great patience on behalf of the listener, but I think it is worth it.

Haven't heard them. Looking for them on soulseek, though I don't think I'll have any luck.

Fat people are society's greatest threat.

I was gonna make a thread like this. Good job, Ill.

I started a thread about it some time ago, but "Lazy Line Painter Jane" is still the best Belle and Sebastian song, easily. I mean, fuck.

Its cover is suitably horrible. w/r/t Amos, she has one song I like—"Cornflake Girl." When she isn't steeped miserably in womynhood, she's far too precious for me to stomach.

Meatwad waits only for the most obvious set-ups.

When will the cocaine kill Modern Man's Hustle.

Your name is a Simpsons reference. You wanna hold hands?

I've never had absinthe, though I'm willing to give it a shot. Let's talk about the green fairy in this thread.

Wait, is alcohol a controlled substance.

I am presently under the influence of controlled substances. Let's talk, why not?
