Teenage Fanclub, you guys. I'll upload some songs later tonight when I get home, but about half of Bandwagonesque is brilliant.

They were one of the better big nineties alternative rock bands, in terms of having a good run of single at the very least. I'd take them in a second over Pearl Jam, Soundgarden, or Alice In Chains. Big Bang Baby does kinda suck, though.

Dammit, I wanted to use my next turn to pop the Can cherry. Luckily, I wasn't going to choose Tago Mago, so all is not lost.

So, wait, are you still deadly serious, or just the regular kind now? I want to know whether I can stop cowering when my doorbell rings, for fear of Marney's hulking, blacksuited government contacts (she works for the government, don't you know) stopping by to rub me out for even viewing this thread.

Where's that picture of Brody as a little kid? That's probably what endeared him to me the most.

Yeah, I feel fairly dumb now, too.

I browsed this site thinking I might see the image on one of their t-shirts, but alas.

No idea. It looks like it could be a Dario Argento movie poster.

High Fidelity is what got me to like Walking On Sunshine. I didn't realize it until seeing Jack Black cavort about to it, but that horn part is extremely catchy.

The folder subtitle for the Chocolate Socket seems to have migrated here from the super secret jerkoff board. Am I to take this as evidence that Milky's modship has been reenstated?

Fugazi - Target The Mekons - Club Mekon Silver Jews - The Wild Kindness Serge Gainsbourg - Joanna The Byrds - I'll Feel A Whole Lot Better

That Cancer album is pretty generic, unremarkable death metal with a distractingly thin sound, but the cover is great.

Okkervil River - Westfall This is pretty unimpressive. Is their newer material any better/more distinctive?

I think it's my turn again, but I'll be damned if I'm gonna read the first page of this thread to find out. If it's not my turn, and somebody was gonna take this album, my apologies. Galaxie 500 - On Fire Maybe this is a superfluous choice, as I already grabbed that third Velvet Underground album, and these guys' entire sound was basically lifted from that album. However, this one is gorgeous enough on its own that I decided I needed to have it as well. A great album to drift off to sleep to while staring at the sun and going blind. Activities I imagine will be in quite high supply on a desert island.

Every Little Star is even better, but I find it hard to seperate the songs from their images in the movie. Same thing with In Dreams, the Roy Orbison song from Blue Velvet. One of my favorite songs ever, but more than partially, I must admit, because it reminds me of the incredible scene in the film it accompanies. David Lynch uses pop music to better effect than any other director I can think of.

I still picture Agent looking like Kerry King from Slayer, but I've seen enough pictures of Milky that I actually visualize him when I read his posts. Usually the one where he's wearing the Britney Spears t-shirt. Before our exchange of PMs on Monday, I had received a grand total of five (5) in my entire boarding career. Thank you for making me feel loved again.

Brian Eno, too.

Ooo, Tom Waits, now there's a grievous omission from my list.

Hmm... Robert Pollard Leonard Cohen Ian MacKaye Nick Cave Jaki Liebezeit Morrissey Ray Davies Ennio Morricone Greg Ginn MF Doom Just off the top of my head.

Fugazi - Red Medicine This is, to my ears, the ultimate Fugazi album. The slower, more atmospheric moments such as Fell, Destroyed and Latest Disgrace are genuinely creepy, and really effective, and show an evolution from their earlier, punkier days. Not to say that they still don't rock on this album (witness Bed For The Scraping or Target), but even when they do, there's a precision to it, a sense of control over their own sound that I don't get from a lot of other albums. I'd be willing to stack the guitar work of the MacKaye/Picciotto alliance against any two-guitar team in rock history, Sonic Youth and Television be damned.

I can kind of play a variety of instruments, but really what I do is play short little bursts of what I'm capable of, record them, and piece them together on the computer. Very punk rock of me, I know.

Seriously? I think This Year's Model and Imperial Bedroom are head and shoulders above any other studio album he's released.

I was trying to find a transcript of Casey Kasem's tirade about the "fucking dead dog song", but now there's a post between mine and King Kamala's. So fuck it, if you want to read it, find it yourself.

Gwar were completely upstaged by El Duce when they appeared on Jerry Springer. They seemed almost apologetic about their schtick. Lame.

I'm not very good at it. Hey, I just remembered that I kinda liked that one Gwar song that was on Beavis & Butthead. It had a catchy horn section.
