Random Music Talk LXXXIX: This, That, and The Other Place

I think I figured out who it is, thanks to your Laggies hint.

Definitely

Spoiler

Well...thanks to my need to try and figure out who the person from the movie was, I just found out who the mother on HIMYM is and I'm pissed as fuck. Thankfully, I don't know who that particular actress is and didn't get a good look at her, but I still feel a little empty inside now :'(. And season 8 just went up on Netflix last week

Trust me, it doesn't really matter that you know, given the way it's revealed.

I still refuse to buy anything from Black Friday RSD.

Why?

Why?

That's good to know. I really wish they'd just done away with that portion of the show year ago so we could have had a few good seasons of relationship building and whatnot, but, eh, they gotta milk shit.


Because, the original purpose was to promote record stores and buying music. This is just buying into the commercialism of Black Friday (which, I usually dive into head first), and most of the releases are really just cash grabs, too. Remasters, greatest hits, live albums, etc. And I've always had a bad taste in my mouth from the way the record stores, themselves, dealt with Wide Awake in Europe.

There is a stupid amount of women I'd be all over in this movie, but for now I'm gonna pretend it's Gretchen Mol just so I can make Jimmy Darmody jokes about Our Man Tourist.

 

[LemonMelon]

Why?

RSD Black Friday is total cash-in bullshit. I realize the initial purpose of RSD was to increase revenue of record stores, but it was also a celebration of record stores. In Chicago, there are a lot of fun events that surround RSD, and Black Friday RSD is just dipping into the well a second time for more $$$ with none of the festive atmosphere to go along with it.

If there was something I wanted that came out that day, I would buy it, but the idea in general is soulless whoremongering.

So, just came back from a Franz Ferdinand concert with contradictory feelings. I had seen them for the last time in 2005 (as an opener for U2), and it's sad how little they have evolved since them. Their live show is basically the same, with similar highs and lows. Even their drum schtick (the four guys playing the drums at the same time) is there. But, in a way, it didn't matter. They are a fun live band. Take Me Out, The Dark of the Matinee and Do You Want To still sound great live.

The best part: I was surprised by having Frankie Rose as an opener (for some reason her name wasn't on the ticket or the venue's website). She was wonderful. Know Me

Frankie Rose

Frankie Rose

Have you heard her second album yet?

 

[gump]

I need to get that. Is it good?

 

[No spoken words]

Can dogs use knives?

 

[cobl04]

Has that just become the new "does the Pope wear a hat"/"does a bear shit in the woods"?

 

[No spoken words]

Just in my head, everyone else either is sick of it already or never found it funny...and rightfully so.

I excel at finding idiotic things funny and beating them to death then beating them some more until they're re-dead.

Now that's an art project.

Do they have to go political first?

I always knew it as "Is the Pope catholic?"

This is another Record Store Day release:

Labelmates Low and Shearwater each contribute arguably-improbable covers of popular songs for their 7” split single. After performing a crowd-favorite live version of Rihanna’s “Stay” at the Pitchfork Music Festival this past July, Low recorded a studio version at Sacred Heart in Duluth, MN. Shearwater recorded their own gauze-wrapped, undulating version of Frank Ocean’s “Novacane” for this single. The 7” is limited to 3,500 copies. Low’s proceeds will benefit Rock for Kids (Rock for Kids — Home), while Shearwater’s will benefit the Southern Poverty Law Center (Southern Poverty Law Center).


Both releases will also be available digitally.

That's quite the beard Bono's got there.

 

[the tourist]

I doubt she actually kept it the whole time without opening it. She probably read it the day she received it, but kept the letter because it was a cute sentiment from a secret admirer.

I plead temporary insanity while hoping she'd just found it or been given it.

 

[LemonMelon]

Bono's sunglasses look dorky on Kanye too, apparently.

 

[gvox]

This is like those meme gifs on the net where they show the $50 tattoo vs $1000 tattoo.
