Random Music Talk LIV: A Wretched Hive of Scum and Villainy (and Mac & Cheese)

Learned this morning that I will be leaving for South Africa Saturday morning.

Last minute business trips always sound cool on paper, but are nightmares in reality.

How'd I only just now find out that our girl Ms. Friedberger is a fellow Horn? One more reason to love her.

Take some time to do the things you never have.

 

[cobl04]

That's my favourite accent, South African.

It looks like Prince will be touring Australia. Probably not for $30 three-hour shows though

Mofo, which Grados do you recommend?

 

[GirlsAloudFan]

What's up, you fuckers?

 

[u2popmofo]

Mofo, which Grados do you recommend?

The SR60's and SR80's are awesome for the price. I believe the 80's are slightly more expensive, but have more bass response than the 60's. These types of hi-fi headphones don't have nearly the amount of bass than what you get with a lot of store brands (Sony, Bose, etc), so spending a little more for the 80's is probably worth it.

They're not super comfortable when you first receive them as is, but you can bend the band and they should fit much better.

I have the SR60's and SR325i's. I've been really happy with both.

But still...

Mofo, bring me back that South African chick from Lethal Weapon 2.

Sometime while I was gone, my cat managed to turn on Charles Mingus's The Black Saint and the Sinner Lady on my iTunes. That's a cat with some damn fine taste.

 

[Reggo]

I bring exciting news to RMT!

My mom finally got a job after searching for nearly 2 years!!!

 

[Moonlit_Angel]

Congrats to your mom, Reggo! What sort of work is it?

Mofo, wow, South Africa? Cool. Short notice, yes, but cool.

Intonation was everything in the conversation I just overheard, but the major jist of it was two people lamenting the state of music today. And I quote, "There's no more Three Days Grace, no Creed! "

Yes. What a tragedy it is to not hear those bands.

I remember my sister being into Three Days Grace for a time, I don't know if she still likes them or not.

Stay safe!

Anchorman sequel!!! Yes this is a great day

 

[Moonlit_Angel]

Oh, wow, really?

I haven't even seen the first one.

Cool . Sounds like a pretty nice job.

Telephone death match: Telephone (Lady Gaga) or Hung Up (Madonna)

 

[iron yuppie]

Hung Up, easily.

Any of you watch the show Swamp People on the History Channel? For the most part, it's pretty messed up how they treat the alligators, but those two bearded backwoods brothers are hilarious

 

[GirlsAloudFan]

One of my friends turned it on for like two minutes once, and I made him change the channel because I literally could not watch any more alligators being blasted in the head with a shotgun. That shit makes my stomach churn.

 

[Moonlit_Angel]

Just seen clips of that show on "The Soup". It's strange, strange stuff. I'm in agreement with GAF on seeing animals get killed.

Telephone death match: Telephone (Lady Gaga) or Hung Up (Madonna)

Lady Gaga, I think.

 

[Jive Turkey]

Ya, it's pretty fucked up. The worst part is that they're not always dead, but they still just chuck them into the pile in the boat. I'm surprised they let them treat the animals that way (you know if they were seals, it would be a different story). Anyway, I just watch for the two hillbilly guys. They don't hunt the gators

 

[LemonMelon]

Hung Up, easily.

This...great song.

After Paparazzi and Bad Romance, Telephone was weak sauce.

The best telephone song ever, though (because I have to mention it at least once a week):
