Har har!

I leave for Disney Sunday, and sincerely hope to see a billboard sized version of this in the new Fantasyland section of the park.

Oh and Laz, I heard it this way:

Spoiler

Mickey and Minnie are in divorce court and the judge says to Mickey, "Mickey I can't grant you a divorce from Minnie just because you say she's crazy"
To which Mickey replies,"I didn't say she was crazy, I said she was fucking Goofy!"

Something tells me that chumbawumba song would be a really awesome ringtone the first time I got a phone call, and then after that it would be incredibly annoying.

Spoiler

Can he teach the Middle East to party hard?

The future of the world may depend on it.

Spoiler

Is he going to attempt to bring peace by introducing the region to My Little Pony?

It's worth a shot.

Spoiler

Secretary...of partying down!!

Spoiler

Secretary of partying hard, you mean.

I'm using the app but know precisely what I'm missing in Scumbo's post.

You think you know.

Am I the only one not remotely bothered by the Pride remix? No worse than most of the other miserable remixes they've been flooding (heyo) their singles with for the last 20 years.

Mostly agree, but it came up on shuffle in the car on Saturday and someone asked if there was something wrong with my stereo.

 

[u2popmofo]

Sounds like you need to clean your aux hole out.

By the way, I haven't looked on U2.com yet, did they just provide a stream for subscribers, or an actual download? , ,comma, ,

Depends on your definition of "actual download." It's pretty easy to download U2.com's audio streams.

Spoiler

Don't worry, I will buy it from iTunes.

You're on thin ice, Danny. Thin ice.

Mofos musket barrel may not reach his own face, but I'm sure it will reach yours!



My issue with this remix is the same issue I've ever had with any band that ever pads their singles with remixes of the actual single, and that is that they're never really good. If they're not so annoying that I can't even make it through a single listen, they're only at best tolerable but significantly inferior to the original. It probably also has something to do with the fact that the bulk of remixes I'd hear would be guitar-based songs turned more dance-y, and I continue to be eternally close-minded toward anything that can be perceived as closer to techno than rock music. In the end, I'd take a mediocre completely separate b-side over a remix any day. Hmm...maybe not, cos now I think of it, I sort of rank big girls are best on the same level of suckitude as an oontzy beautiful day. I guess it's all just hypothetical, since I haven't bothered with singles for even longer than I haven't bothered with U2.

There are some albums out there that have a few iconic songs where I was majorly disappointed with the album as a whole. One of those such albums is Good News For People Who Love Bad News. I just listened to that album and it reinforced my initial thought that the album had a few good songs and a handful of filler. But then I rediscovered a couple of the album tracks that I do like, and they were fantastic. Black Cadillacs and The Good Times Are Killing Me. Hadn't heard either in years!

 

[u2popmofo]

I could probably only name a few songs from that particular album that I don't love.

 

[the tourist]

I wish the same was true for me. That and the following album had less than ten songs combined that I still have any desire to go out of my way to listen to.

 

[No spoken words]

I just want to say that Wilco's One Sunday Morning remains my favorite new song of the past few years. IT BREAKS MY HEART EVERY TIME I LISTEN TO IT.

So much Powerjuice is flowing here at work today.

 

[u2popmofo]

I have never heard that song. You have made me want to listen to it, but at the same time, I don't want to be sad. WHATEVER SHALL I DO??????!!!!!?????!!!!

I think you should loudly proclaim this to your coworkers. And then not explain it at all.

Hi.

 

[iron yuppie]

Bowie was on one hell of a roll in the early seventies when you think that he could just give away a song as good as All the Young Dudes.

Speaking of the '70's, I wrote "communication breakdown" in two work emails today. It made me happy.

That song came out in the '60s.

I hate that song by Mott the Hopple. The station that we played in our hire cars as we were in America played it a couple of times a day, every day.

Bad news, guys. U.S. State Department Pulls the Plug on Andrew W.K.'s Party Trip to Bahrain | News | Pitchfork

"I'm just blown away. After a year of planning, the US State Dept. just canceled my Middle East trip because I'm too party."

And here I was thinking the word party could only be used as a noun or a verb...

 

[Danny Boy]

He needs to fight.

Spoiler

For his right.

Spoiler

To party.

I don't want to explode anyone's mind on my first back, but you're right, I should. Loudly.

You really don't.

Listen to it and then thank me whenever you have time.

I have to admit, I don't know a thing about this dude. I remember when he first became a known quantity, but I barely remember why, and I don't know why he's known now. I'm sure it's because my head is sometimes in the sand, but, still. I AM IGNORANT OF THE WHYS AND HOWS OF ANDREW WK AND HIS CRAZY LIFE.
