Oh and...."211 in progress..."

 

[lazarus]

Someone just posted this in The Other Place.

It's...quite the U2 curiosity.

[joyfulgirl]

Words fail me.

 

[LemonMelon]

Bonernie, eat your heart out.

 

[martha]

He's got a snappy shirt, though.

Spoiler

I don't even know how to react to what I'm seeing/hearing.

 

[cobl04]

That haircut Bono is sporting is extremely popular... But my god it looks horrible on the man.

I still don't think we'll get an album this year.

 

[martha]

It looks horrible on anyone who wears it.

 

[u2popmofo]

I had to listen to the legit version of Dirty Day to get that out of my head.

 

[HeartlandGirl]

I'm not even going to click on it.

 

[u2popmofo]

IWB, you'll like this.

Ted Leo And The Pharmacists cover The Ramones | Video | A.V. Undercover: Summer Break 2013 | The A.V. Club

 

[cobl04]

Ten years since The O.C. started, you guys. The only teen soap I ever watched.

Launched the career of Evermore

Who released an awesome debut, but sadly shit the bed thereafter, going down the concept album path.

U2's Sometimes You Can't Make It On Your Own was also used in an episode. It's like the only time since I became a fan in late 2004 that my friends haven't hated on U2.

 

[iron yuppie]

Apparently these guys think they are super edgy.

I don't really see any way to defend this type of bollocks.

Nice I'll always like him/them more as a cover band.

They put a dick on their last album cover, so they are edgy enough to stand up their fans and make it a statement.

[martha]

The hell?

 

[Danny Boy]

Oh, I am NOT posting the cover.

 

[martha]

My response was to the whole Death Grips thing. All of it. Then I listened to excerpts (I have always loved that word) of their music and had the same response.

 

[Danny Boy]

Concur.

 

[IWasBored]

There was one song I thought was ok the first time I heard it, but by the time it was over, I hated it. Just like odd future, sandwitches was good on jimmy Fallon, but otherwise everything Tyler the creator-involved should be joining Mumford in the volcano.


The nice thing is that this sort of thing gets them temporary attention. In six months, no one will care anymore. In a year, it will be death grips who?

 

[LemonMelon]

Death Grips seem like my sort of thing, but MC Ride is terrible. I can't understand a damn thing he says, and with hip hop that's pretty important. The beats are interesting but I don't know, Money Store didn't change my life. I liked the more organic beats on Exmilitary.

Their performance art bullshit is exactly that. It's been done before and in more creative ways.

 

[Jive Turkey]

excerpts (I have always loved that word)

It's got a sort of woody quality about it.
Much better than newspaper or litter bin

 

[HeartlandGirl]

Also from Latin

 

[djerdap]

Anybody have one of those U2girl's PMs that are being mentioned in the new album thread? My morbid curiosity is getting the best of me.

 

[GirlsAloudFan]

If anyone's fucking stupid enough to be a Death Grips fan they deserve to have their money wasted.

 

[cobl04]

Bang on the money GAF.

I love words with three consonants in a row, especially when all the consonants are pronounced. One of my profs in college would say "excerpts" all the time in an (unintentionally) amusing way.

Also from Latin

I'm not sure the Monty Python reference was caught.

You'd like Slavic languages then.

 

[cobl04]

You know you're a music nerd when you hear a buzzing sound at a bar and you get out your iPhone and look up Welcome to the Machine on youtube to show people how similar the buzzing sound is to the one at the start of Welcome to the Machine and no one else is even remotely as excited as you are.

I love words with three consonants in a row, especially when all the consonants are pronounced.

This is why I like "excerpts".

 

[martha]

Dammit. It wasn't.

Spoiler

It still isn't.

And why French drives me nuts.
