Interference Random Music Talk Part XV - We're using Charlie Rose tinted glasses

[LemonMelon]

And speaking of hip hop, beats and backing tracks become dated so quickly that what sounded cutting edge now might come off laughable, like old Public Enemy or Ice Cube.

Raising Hell was indeed hell for me on first listen. I like the record, but holy shit, it's a crime how much an album like that must have cost at the time when the Fruity Loops-crafted Souljaboytellem.com has better production.

 

[Imperor]

what are you currently doing for money, imps?

Between savings and odd jobs (such as helping move a friend's blind uncle into his new apartment today*), I'm getting by. I've been at a big disadvantage coming out of college when I did (last December), but there should be some really big news within the next two weeks concerning the beginning of a career. More money to waste on LPs and shows, really.

*money promptly spent on sushi and strippers, unfortunately.

And travel, books, and bracelets to this list. Then you have the only reasons to actually have a job.

How awesome is The Seldom Seen Kid? It might just be my favorite album these days. And the Live at Abbey Road version? Completely and utterly swoon-worthy.

Madonna - Papa Dont Preach












Laz I think it was bigger in the 80s

 

[corianderstem]

I sang that at karaoke last month. It didn't go well, only because I had no idea how out of breath I'd get while dancing and singing at the same time.

Clearly, I'm not cut out for the life of a pop star.

So Impy's going to be a family planning counselor?


Awesome.

Video, plz.

 

[corianderstem]

My friends are wiser than to take video of our karaoke sessions. I'll gladly sing for anyone who asks, but no one wants to see video of me dancing. Trust me.

There was a snippet of me singing Mr. Roboto at my birthday party last summer, but my friend only had it up on her Facebook page for a little while.

 

[lazarus]

Kilcori Was Here.

 

[corianderstem]

It's my peace day ... piece of resis... show-stopper number.

 

[GirlsAloudFan]

My show stopping karaoke song is Whitney Houston's "I Will Always Love You."

 

[corianderstem]

I would pay money to see that.

 

[lazarus]

And then you'd probably pay money to stop it.

Speaking of Styx, let's relive some Dennis De Young classics:

YouTube - Styx - The Best Of Times

YouTube - Styx - Don't Let It End (music video)

 

[lazarus]

And one Tommy Shaw:

YouTube - Styx Haven't We Been Here Before (Music Video)

 

[corianderstem]

My two faves (Mr Roboto excepted - it's in a league of horrible/awesome on its own):

YouTube - Styx - A.D. 1928/Rockin' The Paradise

(It gets awesome at 1:15.)

YouTube - Styx - Too Much Time On My Hands

 

[lazarus]

Cheesy concept albums FTW.

I love the album cover/back on that one:

 

[phanan]

That brings back memories.

That and Hi Infidelity ruled 1981, more or less - along with Escape, of course.

 

[corianderstem]

Take It On the Run =

Kramerica Industries

"With Impy's help, we'll get that chicken!"

 

[GirlsAloudFan]

The new Kanye song is probably my favorite thing the dude's done in 3 or 4 years.

 

[bono_man2002]

Kanye is still alive?

 

[GirlsAloudFan]

Indeed. He's got a new single featuring Tori Amos.

 

[bono_man2002]

Wow! Tori is turning into Wil.I.Am!

Or whoever the dude is from the black eyed peas who features in just about everything on commercial radio

 

[corianderstem]

No, you've got the right Pea.

 

[bono_man2002]

Thought So. Btw, I have given ye olde Scarlet's Walk CD quite a few spins, but haven't watched the DVD yet

 

[corianderstem]

I don't think I ever watched the DVD.

Glad it went to a good home.
