Here's the breakdown, most of it done decades ago

Things I haven't done: Committed bestiality, visited orgy parlour, fondled pre-pubescent, been masterbated by same sex partner, orally stimulated same sex partner, sadomasochism, incest, sex with unconscious person, transvestitism, experimented before puberty, accept homosexual proposition, accept prostitute proposition, arrested.

The rest of it isn't too bad, is it? I did live in a college dorm

!

btw I don't remember who recommended a Elvis Costello album to me, but I forgot what the name of it was

My Aim Is muthalickin' True. One of the best of the era.

 

[Axver]

"The thing about my music is it ain't shit".

WRONG.

Oops, I read this as things you had done, and I was wondering why you'd happily admit all this to us.

His score of 14% outclasses even Jen. I can't wait for her to turn up so I can tell her.

Dang, it would take me just as long to type out what I have done.

Daaaamn, even with all that out, you got up to some funky stuff in the 70s.

 

[Axver]

This Ratatat track is ... weird. Liking it the most of anything so far.

 

[LMP]

"The thing about my music is it ain't shit".

WRONG.

The lyrics are a satire on the "ghetto rap" culture, so that's cool.

Then I am on it. They had a lot of his stuff at the library, I just didn't know what to get so I left it be for now.

 

[Axver]

So, Mute Math, I don't mind some of their songs. Though I've never really warmed up to their Sting-with-a-dry-throat vocalist.

 

[LMP]

This Ratatat track is ... weird. Liking it the most of anything so far.

Fun fact:

The cover for that section comes from a still of that song's music video, which uses footage from the badass action classic: Predator. That spawned the idea of having movie-related covers for the different sections.

It would have helped you out on your retro list.

 

[bono_212]

It would have helped you out on your retro list.

Pretty much all I know is Pump It Up but I LOVE that song.

 

[Axver]

So, that's one of the better Mute Math songs.

But oh dear, here comes Kanye.

 

[bono_212]

Ugh, I think The Sound of Silence has entered my top ten favorite songs

 

[LMP]

Ugh, I think The Sound of Silence has entered my top ten favorite songs

I love all of their stuff on that soundtrack... and just everything about that movie.

 

[LemonMelon]

It's probably their best song, but Bookends has America, Bookends/Old Friends, Fakin' It, and Mrs. Robinson. Nothing to sneeze at.

Which Mute Math song?

 

[bono_212]

Alrighty ElMel starting now

 

[LMP]

Which Mute Math song?

"Peculiar People"

 

[Axver]

That Kanye track seemed really forced lyrically, and musically just pasted on over the song it samples.

I remember it being better live when he opened for U2. Can't believe I just said that.

What are your thoughts on the flow* so far? El-Mel seemed to like it up until the Diamonds -> Americans transition.

*WTF

 

[bono_212]

Oh wow, that transition from the opening to the 2nd song was sweet. And this song is pretty rockin for the group that is

 

[Axver]

Wow, I'm Afraid Of Americans is Bowie?

Makes it all the more amusing to me that Bono once snippeted this in Discotheque.

 

[the tourist]

"Peculiar People"

I recognize the name, but I'm not familiar with it. Must be from the EP, as I'm not as familiar with those songs.

Isn't it? Man, those synthesizers are heavy for their time.

*WTF

I'd agree with Traviud. Things like Quills --> Mirando --> Peculiar People worked really well, but Diamonds --> Americans wasn't the best.

Desert Island question:

So on my Desert Island 2 playlist I used a song that was part of a larger song. I was wondering if it'd be cool if I could use the larger song. What do you guys think?
