I bet theanswer1824 likes MC Paul Barman but forgot to mention him.

Oh, man. Horrible.

Rant pretends that people care about his opinions.

I ask because DOOD I SCOOPED HER VAG makes me laugh a lot.

Say, did Corey Lazarus ever say something about scooping a girl's vagina? I never saw it, but subliminal_animal swears that he did.

Not since middle school, though I last listened to Black Sunday a couple years back; it was a pleasant nostalgia trip.

I've enjoyed the music folder, lately, thanks to the efforts of banky, IDRM, Edwin, godthedog and myself.

Luna's basically Galaxie 500 once they got off the valium, if that tells you anything.

So, you're a gimmick, right?

I kinda pretend the song stops after four minutes; not only do I not want happiness for these characters, the vocals are mixed so oddly in that portion of the song it becomes a distraction. Yule's lead vocal was upfront for the majority of the tune, but the Reed portion comes in from this odd middle distance that I don't like at all. I'm a cranky bastard sometimes, though.

Hey, Banky, let's go blast some Boxcar Racer.

Purity? Purity doesn't belong in that song. "New Age" revels in misery, sex, booze and pills. It's a suicide note without the felo de se.

Oh, please. It's not bad, but 9/10ths of Illmatic is superior. So are "Made You Look" and "Last Real Nigga Alive" from the last album.

Olu Dara's stroking his son's ego on "Bridging the Gap" isn't quite as embarassing as Momma Hova's orgasming over Jay-Z's learning to ride a bike on "December 4th," but it's still pretty

It wasn't quite the lolzfest that was Muhammad Ali lighting the torch at the '96 Summer Olypmics, but still worth a chuckle or two.

Oh, crap, I have "Them Bones" stuck in my head again. THANKS BANKY.

AHHHHHHHHHHH BELIEEEEEEEEEEEEEEVE THEM BONES ARE ME

y2jailbait likes them.

I used to go to great pains to prove that I had open-minded tastes, then I realized that most of the people who accused me of indie snobbery were far worse snobs than I. Now I don't give a fuck.

Dirt was one of my favorite albums from ages 13-15. I had "Them Bones" stuck in my head the other day; I downloaded, listened and regretted, in that order.

"I don't like country, except for Johnny Cash. Have you seen the video for 'Hurt'? Man."

I don't doubt that Banky likes this album.

I hate the ecstatic way Reed yells "it's a new age!" around the four minute mark of VU's "New Age." Nearly sinks the song's elegiac tone. Also, The Clash's "Spanish Bombs" and Elvis Costello & the Attractions' "Oliver's Army" employ the same exact melody (the latter predates the former by seven months), though I've never known anyone to mention it.

I'm glad you waited this long into the thread to say that.

Which Papa M did you get?
