Random Music Talk XLIX: Celebrating traditional Australian customs

[LemonMelon]

Any excuse to drink good alcohol and listen to loud music is a good excuse.

Says the guy with someone to make out with at midnight. Fuck you.

Mate with a relatively close-minded musical mind just text me saying "Flying Lotus is pretty good". He's at Summadayze, the NYD festival. I was pretty wrecked from Pyramid. And I'm trying to save money. But having just stumbled across this

I'm pretty fucking jealous.

 

[blueeyedgirl]

That U2 clip is the first U2 song I've listened to this year. Is this an omen for finding lurrvve, oh zodiac gods? :clutchingatstraws:

 

[PhilsFan]

this holiday fucking blows. i hate everything and everyone.

haha. nah its all good. still haven't slept. left the party like an hour ago. 2012 is a year that exists.

I'm listening to the so called "USA Remix" of New Years Day, guyz. It has crazy lyrics and stuff.

What do people tend to do in Salt Lake for New Year's, Mofo? I seem to remember the alcohol costs being prohibitively high.

Uno and Battleship tournaments.

He was not very good.

I'd believe you were you not likely drunk or stoned at the time.

Here's one of my fav. New Years songs, guyz:

It is fundamentally ridiculous to celebrate the passage of time, I think. That's why I dislike birthdays as well.

So this is the new year, Peefer and iYup don't feel any different.

 

[Reggo]

Uno and Battleship tournaments.

Haha, I wish this wasn't true...

Happy new year, RMT. Except for Peef and iYup.

 

[the tourist]

I used to hate the U2 version of Paint It Black. Now I really like it.

 

[the tourist]

Fortunate Son can go fuck itself though.

 

[corianderstem]

Agreed on both counts.

Man, I don't know what to do today. Too much music to check out, thanks to all the year-end lists. Too many things I want to watch - movies, The Wire, Mad Men courtesy of AMC, and Portlandia reruns. Also would love to kick off 2012 with a new book.

I might be too overwhelmed with choices, which means I'll end up just watching the Star Wars marathon that Spike shows on every holiday, possibly including Arbor Day.

Mad Men is the greatest thing to ever happen.

Just watched a bit of the Luke/Vader duel at the end of Empire for probably...uhhhh...the 974th time in my life. Still kicks all the ass.

 

[lazarus]

When I got my Blu-ray set I couldn't stop myself from going right to that part of the movie. Probably the defining cinematic moment of my childhood.

Anyway...

HAPPY NEW YEAR, COCK FORCE!

 

[iron yuppie]

Happy new year, RMT. Except for Peef and iYup.

Ha, I'm feeling better now. At the time of that post I was stuck at an atrocious house "party," but $5 Manhattans at the bar down the road lightened my mood considerably.

 

[martha]

I'm going to continue to clean up after Christmas. We left on the 26th, so the house was still a bit of a mess when we got home four hours late Friday afternoon evening.

My second favorite song on there after Age of Consent.

Great cover.

$5 Manhattans would make anything better. I haven't been to a NYE party since 2000 rolled over to 2001. I remember it well, I fell asleep during The Princess Bride, cause that's what Utah teens do at a party. Uno, Battleship, Hide and seek (I shit you not), and then watch either The Princess Bride or Monty Python And The Holy Grail. Of course, this was before the advent of facebook, texting, iPods, etc. And I'm pretty sure it was a CleanFlicks version of Holy Grail, too, cause the first time I saw it, I don't remember it being that funny.

 

[lazarus]

I drank two glasses of wine, nine beers, and at 6am was still at the party, in my friend's homemade teepee with ten people.

I went home and only got about four hours of sleep, but I'm feeling pretty decent considering.

Fuck Tim Tebow.

2012 is off to a great start.

 

[Reggo]

Reading about all your festivities tells me one thing "I need new IRL friends." Either that, or I need to move somewhere that's not socially dead.

 

[cobl04]

Utah sounds like hell on earth.

Who the fuck would want to party with you?

 

[Danny Boy]

Cobbler, I thought of you while suffering through this last night.

[martha]

And I'm pretty sure it was a CleanFlicks version of Holy Grail,

Crap. I remember that shit. Is it still around?

Utah sounds like hell on earth.

It's the prettiest state.

 

[cobl04]

Wow. What do you mean when you say suffered through that? Because I would take sleeping tablets at 10pm before even considering experiencing that.

I was at someone else's place and so wasn't able to change the channel, shoot the TV, etc.

 

[PhilsFan]

What the hell was that last night? New Year's is always the strangest holiday.

 

[Moonlit_Angel]

Happy new year, everybody! Hope you've all had a good weekend. I did absolutely nothing this weekend other than work, blech. But I've also been watching the "Twilight Zone" marathon off and on, so, woo.

cobl, sounds like quite the interesting show you went to recently. Glad you enjoyed some of the acts, at least. And I've never heard of Boy and Bear at all, but your rant against them has me curious just to see how bad they really are .

Will have to work my way through some of these YouTube clips at some point and give these songs a listen.

 

[martha]

Start with the Roy Acuff one.

 

[iron yuppie]

Looking back, Teen Dream should have been a lot higher on my best-of-2010 list. It's a damn sultry album with several infectious tracks.

 

[Reggo]

Crap. I remember that shit. Is it still around?



It's the prettiest state.

i think they finally outlawed CleanFlicks, freedom of speech n'at.

canyonlands and stuff are pretty, yeah. Up here, there's not much to look at but smoggy air and a big, dead, stinky-ass lake.

 

[u2popmofo]

I vastly prefer the mountains in Northern Utah to the desert in Southern Utah.
