Random Music Talk LXI: In Which PFan and GAF Drink a Lot

[bono_212]

I enjoy the music of The Dresden Dolls.

 

[u2popmofo]

They were crazily popular with that first album. GAF, have you watched the music video for that song? Check out Girl Anachronism as well, both videos were really good.

 

[joyfulgirl]

^ I love Girl Anachronism.

 

[LemonMelon]

Their music is interesting and in interviews Amanda Palmer seems like a cool person I'd like to hang out with, but she's got this really confrontational persona on record that grates on me badly. Not in a pretentious Tori Amos way but in a "I hate you for listening to my album" kind of way.

Just watched them. I like it. That woman is very theatrical.

 

[Danny Boy]

The new Amanda Palmer video is, um, not safe for work.

 

[GirlsAloudFan]

This is a few months old and it was funny at the time, but I just saw it rerun on SportsCenter and couldn't stop laughing. Fucking love this.

GOD DAMMIT!

 

[u2popmofo]

Wow. I think I watched that 5 or 6 times in row now. I think I'm going to use that same celebration at work every time I complete a task.

 

[GirlsAloudFan]

Hahaha. Yes. I'm glad someone else likes that as much as I do. Just hilarious.

 

[Jive Turkey]

It's like he knows about trash talking, but doesn't have the vocabulary to do it right

"who do you think you are? I am!"

And the "I did it" part sounds like the desperate confession of a 1920s mob boss

 

[HeartlandGirl]

I always thought I loved the Dresden Dolls, but nowadays, I only ever listen to Coin-Operated Boy and Girl Anachronism. Maybe Good Day sometimes.

I think this is the first time I've heard someone yell "goddammit" when they're pleased with something.

 

[u2popmofo]

Speaking of which, I still love this song.

Hot Hot Heat - Oh, Goddamnit - YouTube

 

[PhilsFan]

That is why I did it!

 

[Jive Turkey]

I think it's "That is right, I did it!"

 

[Jive Turkey]

2 minutes ago I just realized a guy I work with was cinematographer on the Fake Empire video! cool!

 

[u2popmofo]

High five him as hard as you can, for all of us.

[cobl04]

It was...interesting. The first one I went with my girlfriend at the time, and let's just say in hindsight I would have preferred it if I was single.

Yes I can see where you're coming from. There were five of us and we had this plan to stick together the whole night. That failed the second we all started talking to girls (after a few buckets). I ended up on my own for five hours and my mate woke up on the other side of the island with no idea how he got there.

GOD DAMMIT!

Yeah I've seen that before as well. Pathetic and yet absolutely hilarious at the same time. Awesome.

 

[iron yuppie]

Bowling, the most passionate of all of the sports.

 

[cobl04]

Watch the interview after.

It's bowling, for fuck's sake

 

[Reggo]

Bowling, the most passionate of all of the sports.

I used to know a professional bowler. He was possibly the coolest guy I ever knew. We got into a LOT of trouble together (i.e. drunk texting/dialling, etc.) but it was good times.

 

[corianderstem]

I love the new Marina and the Diamonds album.

 

[Reggo]

Joyful, halp.

One minute I felt fine and the next, I feel like death warmed over. I can barely keep my eyes open, have a lisght fever, adn ever yso often I can fee the blood rushing through my face. Can't be normal. It's the middle of summer and all I want to do is wrap myself in as many blankets as I can find until I feel alive again. Should I listen to my body and sweat this crap out or what? I don't feel sick, I feel like I've been drugged with Vicodin, which I found out I'm allergic to. Or heat exhaustion or something, even though I've been in air conditioned buuildings all day & it rained & dropped the temperature, like, 10 or 15 degrees.

Any ideas?

 

[Jive Turkey]

Just watched The Amazing Spoderman. I am smitten with Emma Stone

 

[Jive Turkey]

Sounds like aids, Reggo

 

[bono_212]

I don't know what to think about this.

I bought the new Purity Ring album (they were selling it at the festival, sweet!) and if you spent $20, you could spin this wheel. So I bought one more thing, and spun the wheel. I won a pick out of the grab bag box, and what I won, supposedly, was a test pressing of The Big Pink. Except, when I got home, it turned out to be Blues Funeral by Mark Lanagen. Now. This album's awesome, but I'm so bummed out that it's not The Big Pink that I keep forgetting how sweet it is that I just won a test pressing of anything.

 

[Jive Turkey]

Could be worse. You could have aids like Reggo

Speaking of Purity Ring, I am watching them set up for the aftershow right now.

 

[bono_212]

I didn't realize they were doing an after show. Enjoy! Those lights are awesome. I'm waiting for some videos to show up so I can post them. They didn't use them QUITE as I'd have liked them too, but the guy's setup made it all worth it.
