PLAGIARISM! Posted January 10, 2009 Report Posted January 10, 2009 I'm seeing him in May. I don't think he'll top the last time I saw him live, early last year, but his current band are great.
Big Ol' Smitty Posted January 11, 2009 Report Posted January 11, 2009 This may be the worst remix ever.
Henry Spencer Posted January 12, 2009 Report Posted January 12, 2009 True story: Morrissey is coming back to Kansas City on the two year anniversary of the murder of my roommate's mother. The roommate with the "Viva Moz" tattoo on his wrist. Besides the fact that a grown man will be openly sobbing all over me, I'm looking forward to seeing him again.
Giuseppe Zangara Posted January 12, 2009 Report Posted January 12, 2009 If he had changed that 'z' to an 'm' his mother might still be with us.
Henry Spencer Posted January 12, 2009 Report Posted January 12, 2009 Yeah, but then Morrissey might have been killed, which would have been a bigger loss to the world at large. I'm glad he was able to be so selfless as to sacrifice his own mother so that Moz could live.
Smartly Pretty Posted January 14, 2009 Report Posted January 14, 2009 Can anyone here get me into Cat Power?
Big Ol' Smitty Posted January 14, 2009 Report Posted January 14, 2009 More DJ Khaled asshattery. See especially after the 2:15 mark.
mfn Posted January 15, 2009 Report Posted January 15, 2009 The Redwalls rule. Their new single is on their myspace page. It's fantastic.
Annabelle Posted January 15, 2009 Report Posted January 15, 2009 More DJ Khaled asshattery. See especially after the 2:15 mark. come on man

Copper Feel Posted January 15, 2009 Report Posted January 15, 2009 Doesn't he release 'comedy' albums periodically? The combination of awful genre and awful comedian probably means they're not very good.
PLAGIARISM! Posted January 15, 2009 Report Posted January 15, 2009 The Used doing 'Burning Down the House'? I'm sure it's unlistenable, but I'm trying to work out how that band would even approach that.
Kinetic Posted January 15, 2009 Report Posted January 15, 2009 I heard a Robyn Hitchcock cover of "More Than This" recently. A very pretty song, and it translated to an acoustic version extremely well. Someone could have a huge hit covering that song today. T-Pain, maybe?
PUT THAT DICK IN MY MOUTH! Posted January 15, 2009 Report Posted January 15, 2009 Bill Murray's take was pretty dope. Best thing about Lost in Translation?
godthedog Posted January 16, 2009 Report Posted January 16, 2009 that scene in the elevator where they want to kiss but don't but sort of do?
godthedog Posted January 16, 2009 Report Posted January 16, 2009 'the great escape' has replaced 'parklife' as my favorite blur album, at least at the moment.
PUT THAT DICK IN MY MOUTH! Posted January 16, 2009 Report Posted January 16, 2009 "Yuko & Hiro" and "He Thought of Cars" are two of my favorite Blur songs, but that album is just waay too uneven.
Kinetic Posted January 16, 2009 Report Posted January 16, 2009 You could make that argument about any Blur album. They had that whole 90s syndrome, where the ability to fit 80 minutes of music on one disc became a justification for doing so. For me, The Great Escape is really their only album where they approached consistency. I agree with Byron on the two songs he mentioned, but then you've also got "Country House," "Best Days," "Charmless Man," and "The Universal." I've got a lot of weird sentimental stuff tied up with this album, though, so it's possible that I'm not to be trusted.
PUT THAT DICK IN MY MOUTH! Posted January 16, 2009 Report Posted January 16, 2009 I'm not a big fan of "Country House" or "Charmless Man." Neither is anywhere near as clever or biting as Albarn probably thought they were. The former esp. is a little disingenuous, since by '97 Damon could probably afford a pretty nice country estate of his own. I do quite like "The Universal."
gWIL Posted January 17, 2009 Report Posted January 17, 2009 Can anyone here get me into Cat Power? What have you heard of her stuff? I enjoy most of it, especially the minimalism of it, but I like most anything with a female vocalist. Pick up the album "the Greatest", I think if you like that you'll like most of her stuff.
PLAGIARISM! Posted January 18, 2009 Report Posted January 18, 2009 Got Gene: The Collection. Just dire. I'm going to gob all over this and punt it over a rainbow. Certainly makes you appreciate Moz more, witnessing what happens when others try to do it. I know the comparison's obvious, but you're not missing a thing by instantly dismissing these twats. Picked up Brighten The Corners as well, think I prefer Wowee Zowee currently but that may yet change.
PUT THAT DICK IN MY MOUTH! Posted January 25, 2009 Report Posted January 25, 2009 Here's a fun game y'all. Click play on the following video and see how long you can go without pressing the stop button. It's sorta like holding your hand over a candle, but without the unsightly burn marks.
Kinetic Posted January 25, 2009 Report Posted January 25, 2009 Well, I watched the whole thing. I wish that I hadn't. Part of me wonders if that's a joke, while another part wonders if that was Steve Nash on the keytar.
Kinetic Posted January 25, 2009 Report Posted January 25, 2009 A little further investigation reveals that it isn't a joke, but is the sort of unrepentantly loathsome product that can only come from L.A.
godthedog Posted January 25, 2009 Report Posted January 25, 2009 better "hopeless sad bastard" album of unending depression: 'nebraska' or 'plastic ono band'?
Henry Spencer Posted January 25, 2009 Report Posted January 25, 2009 Plastic Ono Band is more cathartic, which probably makes it less hopeless and sad ultimately. As for which one is the better album? Hard to say. Nebraska is a stronger collection of songs, but very few albums provide as intense an emotional experience as POB.
PLAGIARISM! Posted January 25, 2009 Report Posted January 25, 2009 True story: Morrissey is coming back to Kansas City on the two year anniversary of the murder of my roommate's mother. The roommate with the "Viva Moz" tattoo on his wrist. Besides the fact that a grown man will be openly sobbing all over me, I'm looking forward to seeing him again. A warning - one of the best songs on the new album is the thunderous 'Mama lay softly on the riverbed'. So enjoy that one.

I think he's gonna lose it the most to National Front Disco, though.
PLAGIARISM! Posted January 26, 2009 Report Posted January 26, 2009 Yeah, I usually do. Listening to TVOTR do 'Heroes'. Decent fun. Certainly helps me blot out the criminal version that Kasabian (I think) churned out for the Euro 2008 coverage. Dear God.
