Random Music Thread LXIII: Cobbler is disqualified for poor effort.

[lazarus]

It was mostly Bar Mitzvah prep, more than anything else. I only studied Hebrew for a year or two, and the second my Bar Mitzvah was over I started to slowly forget the language.

After my Bar Mitzvah (I did so well they asked me to return and read/sing on Yom Kippur) and Hebrew School graduation, my parents signed me up for "Hebrew High", which if I'm not mistaken met every other Saturday morning at the synagogue for advanced language class.

Got tired of that shit pretty quick. Told my father I really didn't care, did not want to go. He let me drop out.

Within a year or so I told him I didn't want to go to synagogue at all anymore. He didn't really put up a fight. We were in a conservative temple but we never kept kosher or anything. I never fasted for Yom Kippur once, didn't even try. I think one year I even encouraged other kids to ditch services to go to the nearby McDonald's.

Neither of my parents were Bar or Bat Mitzvah'd, so, when I quit the business they really couldn't say much. My sister never got Bat Mizvah'd cos she just didn't give a shit. We never went to temple, ever, unless it was for a wedding, funeral or Bar Mitzvah...not for the high holidays, not for any holiday. Like all sorts of hypocritical, conservative Jews, we cared a lot more about the cultural/secular aspects of our identity. I really don't know why I did the g-d thing for so long, considering I went agnostic ages ago. I turned down that free trip to Israel more than once because I didn't feel like being brainwashed over there. No trip is ever free, especially amongst the tribe.

Fucking Hebrew High, holy shit. I'd have laughed my parents out of town if they had suggested that to me.

All this time I thought my location slightly offended you, even though you complimented me on it once.

I think that the most use I have ever gotten out of Rate Your Music is reading these reviews of Lulu. There are some real gems in here:

Lulu by Lou Reed & Metallica : Reviews and Ratings - Rate Your Music

I just can't justify spending more than 45 minutes or so on a terrible album. That one is like double that, same reason I've never heard St. Anger in full (though the songs I have heard are indeed a riot).

I say or type goddam all the time.

This.

So you guys don't wanna talk about Treasure Trader? Fucking lame-os

I worry about stupid shit all the time.

I'm putting my vinyl back in the cabinets, sorting them in to three piles: keep (for now), husband's, and trade. I found some Who bootlegs and looked one of them up just for fun. The price online ranges from $49.99 (sold out) to $150.

Yikes.

I'm sorry to see AI go but having one of the leagues few true Centers doesn't suck.

 

[PhilsFan]

Not thrilled about giving up four firsts in one offseason and taking on Richardson's deal.

 

[No spoken words]

Agreed.

Hey, music!

 

[iron yuppie]

St. Anger

"I'm madly in anger with you." I laughed for about five minutes straight when I first heard that line.

 

[Reggo]

I really need to unsubscribe from Green Day's facebook page. all it does is depress me beyond words.

I found out recently that not only is my father not a fan of Bruce Springsteen, but he also actively dislikes him. This stunned me, as Springsteen is probably the most beloved musician across my extended family.

His reasons were his voice and his belief that Springsteen is full of himself. Really don't get my father and music.

You made it up.

Shut the hell up about languages, and let's all talk about juicing, outdated Shuttlecock references, and whether or not Bono is fat. Fart-knockers.

I'm fluent in sign language, I can somewhat understand Spanish, and I know a handful of words in French and Russian. Does knowing Australian slang count as a foreign language?

The next time someone says "My Dad can kick your Dad's ass to you", your reply is "How soon?".

I did a real life "lol".

I'm offended by the missing "n" in "goddamn".

The Exception can still hold his own, unfortunately. He will dunk over all the other dads, from the free throw line.

I really need to start a Green Day thread.

Fixed.

Mea Culpa, no excuses here.

i've never seen a deaf person actually use, it, but yes, of course.

Are you sure he's...really your dad?

Would you be surprised if I said that I have?
