End of Earth, Michigan Superthread

[the tourist]

Anyway, now I'm out for real. Be in a new location when I return.

 

[Varitek]

Yeah, Bowie's not made an album in five years, unfortunately.

Magic is a good album. Gypsy Biker and Long Walk Home are my two favorite tracks.

i will check it out, maybe some time tonight. for now i think i have to go into a food coma for a bit. why do i always overeat around good food? WHY?

 

[phillyfan26]

I turn 18 in January.

Have a good practice, Andrew.

 

[Varitek]

pisslova, your sig?

 

[phillyfan26]

John Frusciante.

 

[phanan]

andrew and phanan, i see you peeking in here

Yeah, I popped in for a moment but then had to leave...

 

[Varitek]

does he do solo work? i couldn't find any on my network

 

[phillyfan26]

I wish I could see people peeking in here.

Yes, and it's much better than his RHCP stuff, IMO.

Shadows Collide with People is the album I recommend. It's on Amazon and iTunes.

That's another one I want to send out if I find a good MP3 converter.

 

[Varitek]

oh while khan is here...earlier today i accidentally made a comment in the survivor thread intended for here, then got a phone call and when i was done couldnt edit it. would you take it away?

 

[phillyfan26]

Was that thing you quoted by Cute Irish Bono?

let me know when you send it out - i don't buy stuff unless i know i'll like it (aka u2 or i've heard it before) and i am not the biggest fan of rhcp, they're ok.

Sometimes being a mod has its advantages.


Sometimes being the key word.

i forget, something struck me as condescending BEFORE that whole blowup, and i commented on it...but not here! oops.

I think every problem with RHCP is related to the singer, Anthony Kiedis. Not a good vocalist, and horrible lyricist. I think their instrumentation is what saves them. Frusciante's arguably my favorite guitarist.

That wasn't condescending. Knowing her, she's very earnest with things like that. Desperately doesn't want to offend anyone, wants to be on everyone's good sides. Always has good intentions.

As for the rest of them, though...

i agree with the stuff about lyrics and singing. there are several bands i'd like better if they ditched their vocals, including owen (which will be on my cd swap)

 

[phillyfan26]

Wet Sand is a great RHCP track, probably my favorite. Dosed, I Could Have Lied, and Desecration Smile are also good.

ah well. i feel especially bad then, and i really hope it isn't noticed before KHAN PLEASE TAKE IT AWAY!!!

Wet Sand is the best song from Stadium Arcadium. It was a last minute subtraction from my playlist due to time constraints.

 

[KhanadaRhodes]

i'm back peeps

 

[Varitek]

khan! i made a post in iq on page 1 of survivor round 7 about condescension. it was intended for this thread. then i got a phonecall and didn't realize i'd posted to the wrong thread until it was too late to edit. help me please! take it away!

 

[phillyfan26]

Agreed. I wanted to fit it in, but Under the Bridge was better thematically and flowed very well into Ten Years Gone, despite its cliched nature among RHCP tracks.

i'm not really allowed to delete posts, sometimes if they're made like a minute ago i can get away with it, but i'd probably get in trouble if i deleted that.

can you just edit it so it is a double post of whatever else i said in the thread or something?

 

[phillyfan26]

Edit it to say something like "double post."

For my CD exchange artists I think I am going with:

The Dresden Dolls
Todd Rundgren
Julee Cruise

and maybe Chris Isaak.
