Random Music Talk XL: Slappin' Bitches With Vik

? Ex-Warrant Singer Jani Lane — Dead at 47?by?The Hollywood Dispatch

Always hated this band, for the record.

 

[GirlsAloudFan]

Is Daniel Lanois' solo shit any good?

I'll donate to the fund to get Cobbler to stop calling himself DZA.

Not enough money in the world.

Incidentally, one interesting tidbit that girl told me (she saw Wu Tang) was that at their gig, at the end, a bunch of sluts ran to the front because apparently one of their roadies/security/etc picks about 20 to go backstage, and then five get handpicked to have their way with members of the clan. And apparently one (at another show) had a heart attack while she was fucking RZA. That last bit could be complete bullshit, though.

Love Is Hell.

What do you think of Matt Groening's early work?

 

[cobl04]

Also, happy birthday imp.

I had to emphasise the size in case reggo thought I was saying happy birthday to Lmp and decided to rip me to shreds.

 

[cobl04]

I'm sure the family business owners who've lost their buildings and possessions are taking great comfort from Massive Attack's insight.

They're quite within their rights to condemn what's going on...

 

[u2popmofo]

I have never been too keen on alt-country

Same here.

I've never been a fan of any version of Holy Joe.

Same here.

Happy b-day, pImperor.

 

[cobl04]

Don't tell imp, but I've got this whole Pulp Fiction themed party planned, just the study group.

 

[Popmartijn]

Is Daniel Lanois' solo shit any good?

Very.
I think Acadie and Shine are the highlights. Quite atmospheric (hey, this is Daniel Lanois we're talking about ). So it's more The Joshua Tree (or Peter Gabriel's So) than Achtung Baby. Or, to leave out the U2 references, it's not unlike Wrecking Ball by Emmylou Harris.

 

[Popmartijn]

I had actually never heard that. I just was so aware of it, and see it posted about often enough, I guess I just assumed I'd heard it already. Was quite good and not at all what I was expecting. Liked it a lot.

IMO, I'm Not Your Baby is maybe the best thing U2 released in 1997. And the Pop album is already a favourite of mine (probably top 5 or close to it).

I kind of prefer the guilty mix to the original, but still adore the song

There is no (officially released) original version. Or, you can say, there are two: Garage Mix and Guilty Mix. In my eyes the Guilty Mix is just as much the original version as is the Garage Mix.

Not that I've heard. (Sorry Marty)

They're quite within their rights to condemn what's going on...

Yes, but there's no excuse for destroying the property of others who have nothing to do with your grievance.

Damn, I was holding out for one of these:

 

[Popmartijn]

Not that I've heard. (Sorry Marty)

No need to apologize to me that the people who tell you this (and who you listen to) have no taste in music.

 

[cobl04]

Damn, I was holding out for one of these:

I had one ready to go when we head to The Ballroom later. Way to ruin the surprise.

yourself.

Spoiler

I don't like what I've heard from him at all.

 

[martha]

And happy birthday, Texan.

 

[bono_212]

I've always been a fan of this song, but I think it's all I know by him:

[u2popmofo]

Imps, for your birthday I have listened to Last Summer in full this morning.

 

[corianderstem]

Yes.

I think Acadie and Shine are the highlights.

YES!

YEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEES!!!!

 

[iron yuppie]

What do you think of Matt Groening's early work?

I have never seen Life in Hell, actually. Is that the one with the rabbit as the main character?

 

[lazarus]

I wonder how Impy likes Cockplay's birthday present: that stupid album title and cover

Hope you fare better the rest of the day, pardner.

 

[u2popmofo]

Stupid album titles and covers?! Copying U2 yet again!

 

[Imperor]

Let's talk about stupid album titles while ignoring the fact that a horizon is by definition a line.

 

[LemonMelon]

The cover is fucking ugly. Were there some decorations left over from Apple's birthday party?

 

[elevated_u2_fan]

The cover is fucking ugly. Were there some decorations left over from Apple's birthday party?

I like it

 

[LemonMelon]

The worst news is that Every Bono Shits A Rainbow wasn't a one-off. I really like Major Minus and Charlie Brown, and the more space allocated to songs like those, the better.

 

[u2popmofo]

If I worried about whether or not covers are ugly, I probably wouldn't own 80% of the albums I love. Bye bye, Pavement albums. Bye bye, The Cure. Etc., etc., etc., etc., etc.

 

[LemonMelon]

I care as much as you do. Hell, you should care a great deal more, since you'll actually possess a physical copy of the artwork. Twas an offhand comment regarding an insignificant aspect of an album no one has heard. I don't know what else we're supposed to do with it at this point.

 

[elevated_u2_fan]

Discuss whether its remastered or not

 

[u2popmofo]

If it doesn't include stickers and buttons, the entire thing is a failure.

 

[LemonMelon]

For the low, low price of 450 pounds, you can have all of the stupid leftover Viva La Vida clothing patches your heart desires. They're made of felt, for your convenience.
