Random Music Talk XL: Slappin' Bitches With Vik

[joyfulgirl]

We tented our house today, but I don't think that'll count.

I'd count it if I knew what it meant.

 

[Reggo]

Oh, you really do work for Comcast? Wow, yes, I would love to call. I'm going to deal with it tomorrow. Please PM me the info.

I'm...off till Sunday. I'll PM you my info anyway.

An emergency love-in along the lines of "omg somebody had a heart attack i love you guys!" may be required. They'll get bored with that quickly and leave us alone.

Not a heart attack as such, but I'm happy that Peef's liver didn't explode from all that bile after hearing about the non-remaster. Crisis averted.

(Michael Vick is still on the Eagles though, so this could still happen.)

 

[joyfulgirl]

I guess I'm a bad fan. I don't really have an opinion on all of this. Re-master would be nice but not if it sucks is about as close to an opinion as I can formulate.

 

[Reggo]

I think it's lame if they didn't remaster Achtung or Zooropa, especially if they're charging an arm and a leg for the boxed sets, but I'm not exactly champing at the bit to get it.

 

[joyfulgirl]

Yeah, it is. I should care.

Oh, God, I don't want anyone to have a heart attack - I was just referring to the love-in that happened after somebody did and we should, you know, get the love back.

Tell me you're not in any way exposed to the poison. Please tell me that.

Nope. Dog's at Grandma's and we're at the cabin in Nevada.

 

[PhilsFan]

The only album that U2 made that really needed remastering was Achtung Baby. And they remastered every reissue except for it?

I refuse to believe they just thought it sounded bad. How could it sound any worse? That album has such an awful mix. Even just turning the guitar up on every song would be a massive improvement.

I don't disagree, for the record. The mix suits the subject matter and overall tone, but it is a little muddy for my tastes. Certainly, the tracks have greater punch live, and I wouldn't mind hearing a more spacious take on the mix. But that's not happening, so I'll have to settle for a disc with fewer scratches instead.

 

[PhilsFan]

And I will settle for MP3s in a zip. This is the first reissue I'm not buying. I don't even give a shit about the motivations or anything. It's just so stupid.

Concurred. Listening to Sydney's a lot of fun, the album itself is a little surprising. It's not quite a good thing that the songs took on so much live.

 

[lazarus]

Oh, God, I don't want anyone to have a heart attack

Too late.

Spoiler

Too soon?

You guys seem very sure about what we're going to get come Halloween.

Don't get your hopes up, but this isn't a closed case.

 

[LemonMelon]

No remaster is only slightly less awful of a Halloween surprise than Paul McGuinness showing up at my house in an undersized cat costume, demanding every piece of chocolate in my house.

I hope you're busy photoshopping this into reality.

[bono_212]

yes please.

 

[cobl04]

At Liam Finn with Axver and slopsy. He doesn't come on for another two fucking hours. The support act at the moment is two girls playing guitar and singing. One of them is hot and she has an extremely short skirt on. I wonder if Liam is banging her. Impy might like them. Or maybe not. Vik most certainly would not.

Between this and your wallpaper, your unholy obsession with this man disturbs me...

Fair to say I fell in love with their female drummer. They were great. Shame about her Boston cap though. If it was ATL I would have had to propose on the spot.

She Lives In My Lap over the PA. sickkk

Tax write off, baby!!! CHA-CHING, CHA-CHING!

No, I'm ashamed to say I work for Comcast. Literally ashamed. I'd quit, but where the hell else am I going to find a job?

Reggo, please speak with someone about adding the channel "Fuel" to the lineup. I need it, and I need it now.

tar up on every song would be a massive improvement.

Please allow me to say that each and every time you say something like this, the wear and tear I've put on this album since the early '90's disagrees greatly.

On a side note, I've never understood the thinking that an album was mixed poorly because a live version of a song sounds different. Of course you're going to hear more guitar in a live version, as they can't pull off all the other production live. Doesn't mean it's better that way, just means that's what some are used to hearing.

 

[lazarus]

Interesting take there.
