Random Music Talk XCVII: Now With Hot Man Pics!

[LemonMelon]

Well, yeah. Not a lot going on.

Should we talk about the weather? Should we talk about the government?

 

[bono_212]

Should I run for president?

 

[lazarus]

And you've also just made the most boring post in Interference history.

The peak of boring keeps getting raised.

If only he had found a way to mention Coldplay I think he would have locked that distinction down forever.

 

[bono_212]

I wonder how many pairs of shoes Chris Martin owns...

 

[iron yuppie]

Oh yes.

Division Bell is one of the most fan-overrated albums in existence.

I like it in general, but yeah it's leagues removed from the high-water albums of the 70s.

 

[lazarus]

I wonder how many pairs of shoes Chris Martin owns...

Probably a lot of moccasins.

 

[nielsgov]

Should we talk about the government?

Maybe we should. As it happens, there were federal and regional elections in Belgium today and it was the first time I could, and had to, vote. Now we'll just have to wait another year until we have a government!

And now for something music-related, because of the discussion in the Coldplay thread I went through some Pitchfork toplists to find interesting bands I haven't yet gotten aound to. I started with Modest Mouse. My first impression is overwhelmingly positive. They're much better than I expected them to be, judging by their name probably.

Last night I heard a Crystal Antlers song that I liked. I listened to part of a KEXP show and liked it ok. Now what?

 

[Danny Boy]

I still haven't heard or purchased either the new Black Keys or Coldplay albums. Not really feeling an overwhelming urge to rush out and get either, which sorta saddens me.

Plenty of discussion on the Coldplay album already.

I like the new Black Keys album. It's, um, bluesy.

Seriously though, I'm considering upgrading to the 24-bit lossless.

Robot Bono is about to restart and reboot itself soon.

 

[martha]

Holy shit. That's horrifying.

 

[david]

I am going to sound like one of those guys, but I remember going to dinner in LA with this girl and her friend Nikki Lane, it was kind of a double date in 2005.. They mostly talked about opening a vintage clothing boutique and I mumbled stuff and stared at my plate of gnocchi.. I didn't know at the time that Nikki Lane would go on to become a recording artist.

 

[lazarus]

Nikki Lane sounds more like a porn star name, TBH.

 

[bono_212]

Oh God, that picture

 

[PhilsFan]

Let's combine every era of Bono, toss it into the Walking Dead and photograph the most gruesomely chopped version of his bust once his rich Irish ass has been ripped to shreds. Happy Saturday.

 

[corianderstem]

Bono who???

Spoiler

 

[david]

I have to put my shoes away.

 

[corianderstem]

I don't dare tell Axver how many pairs of shoes I have.

 

[cobl04]

And you've also just made the most boring post in Interference history.

Hahahahah.

Probably a lot of moccasins.

I own a pair of moccas. I love them, and have even shopped in them.

I always forget how much I love this song

[u2popmofo]

Stop forgetting, or I'll talk about my running shoes in depth.

 

[cobl04]

I'll come running to tie your shoes

 

[cobl04]

UMMMM

Today is Sunday

Now I've listened to "Dancing on My Own" like four times in a row. What a song that was.

 

[david]

I am listening to Ghostface Killah's Ironman on vinyl in the comfort of my own home.

 

[martha]

What shoes are you wearing whilst you do that?

 

[david]

My feet are naked.

[martha]

Hawt.

 

[lazarus]

Why the fuck isn't Hey Hey What Can I Do on Led Zeppelin III? It's better than half the songs on there, and I like the album.

I ranted recently about Houses Of The Holy not making it on the album it's named after, but this is even worse.
