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

On another random music I'm semi-ashamed to admit I love note: Careless Whisper.

 

[Jive Turkey]

Careless Whisper is fucking awesome. Karaoke staple

Do you guys have Restoration Hardware in the States? I love that store, but everything is too goddamn expensive to buy

 

[Danny Boy]

Restoration Hardware was awesome when it first opened and they had all the retro knickknacks. Now it's just Pottery Barn 2, and yes, overpriced.

 

[u2popmofo]

I don't know what Restoration Hardware is, but I used to visit a used electronics chain called "Hard Off" in Japan. Needless to say, I laughed every time I saw the sign.

 

[Jive Turkey]

RH is very Potty Barnish, but they still have some really cool stuff that you wouldn't find at PB. I pretty much just look through the catalog and try to find something similar elsewhere

Another wonderfully unfortunate sign I used to laugh at, I lived in a city called Ageo for half a year. They chose to abbreviate "Ageo Sewer System" as "A.S.S." in gigantic letters across the side of their office building.

Why they chose to make an English wording abbreviation, I don't know. I always assumed whomever made the decision knew English and thought it was hilarious.

 

[Danny Boy]

And the manholes were called A.S.S.holes?

Has someone made a Andre $3000 type comment since the Gillette commercials started?

You have a musket. I do the tomahawk chop.

I don't always love Pandora, nor the stations it creates, but I spent like 4 hours today listening to "The Church" radio. I wish Pandora gave you some sort of list of what it's played so I could share a sampling, but it was hot stuff.

EDIT: Here's some of the stuff I marked as "liked" today to give you an idea:

Policy of Truth
How Soon is Now?
Just Like Heaven
I Wanna Be Adored
Lost (The Church)
Space Age Love Song (had NO idea I knew two songs by A Flock of Seagulls)
Ceremony (New Order)
Love Will Tear Us Apart
Your Love (The Outfield [Another song that I can't deny how much I love])
In God's Country
Time After Time
Down Under
Come Undone
Careless Whisper
In A Big Country
Avalon (Roxy Music)
Hold Me Now
The Killing Moon
The Ghost in You (The Psychedelic Furs)
It's My Life
A Letter to Elise
West End Girls

Now to share it on my facebook and claim all the credit.

How quickly you've turned your back on the boomerang
At least say you'll beat him with a didgeridoo

That's one hell of a list - especially the first four.

 

[bono_212]

That's one hell of a list - especially the first four.

I thought so too, and those were the ones that I wasn't too lazy to tab over to the Pandora page and click like on. Almost EVERYTHING it played was awesome. I don't know if The Church are just that similar to a lot of bands I like, or if Pandora really is just that good. I kind of want to go with the latter, because I've made some Pandora stations that I could screw around with for like 10-15 songs and it would never really quite get in sync with my tastes.

 

[Jive Turkey]

Those four could've been the start of my highschool mix tapes

The German word for contraception is "antibabypille". Oh my god.

Nothing wrong with that. It's a fine song .

This list, I love it so. I'd happily listen to that.

The German word for contraception is "antibabypille". Oh my god.

That's the pill, there's a different word for contraception per se.

 

[Jive Turkey]

Those Germans don't fuck about with euphemisms

 

[Jive Turkey]

Oh, it's just a slang term? I did a google search and couldn't find hilarious pill boxes

 

[Jive Turkey]

Actually, the first 2 words in the German wikipedia entry for 'antibabypille' are pretty hilarious

 

[Jive Turkey]

Oh, and thanks Cobbler. I just stole that information and put in on facebook

 

[Jive Turkey]

Financial imbalance. The Watusi. The Twist.

 

[cobl04]

Still awesome.

I'm reminded of the song Killers by Casiotone for the Painfully Alone. I remember kinda liking the song, but I'll never ever listen to the band because their name is just pathetic.

El Dorado.
