Random Music Talk LXXIV: No witty reference, but at least it's not Cobbler?

[cobl04]

Why did you put best friend in quotation marks?

 

[LemonMelon]

Scumbo's never actually met him. Stanford grad.

 

[u2popmofo]

I like "quotation" marks. I don't know. Should have said "best work friend" I guess. In other words, he's not my bestest friend evar, but he's the person I go to lunch with 4 or 5 days a week, sit next to at work, and go to the gym with.

 

[LemonMelon]

Sorta makes you wonder why they went out of their way to make certain statements (that are wrong), regardless of their importance to the point of the article.

Deadspin wanted to make a Mormon look foolish, basically.

 

[Imperor]

Didn't the election already kind of take care of that?

Ha

I more thought they were trying to build a case of him being foolish by portraying him as Mormon. Which yes, the election took care of.

 

[iron yuppie]

If he really is a devout Mormon, I would believe that he could get elaborately involved with the persona that he did. The Mormons I have known have been extremely intense about the whole spiritual romance thing.

 

[U2inUtah]

I think he made the whole thing up, from beginning to end. He was not the victim of a "hoax". Regardless, I'm sure the real truth will come out eventually.

There are so many sad aspects of the culture in this regard that I could probably write 20 pages about it.

I'm inclined to agree.

 

[Dalton]

This whole thing is gold, Jerry, gold.

Hey, wanna read the most needlessly verbose, creepy article on a celebrity ever?

That is awful, from the moment it talks about her in terms of Aztec sacrifice and then on to suggest beautiful women can't make it anymore...it just gets weirder.

As I've mentioned a few times over the last few weeks, I have been going through some select parts of Mr Bob Dylan's catalogue. I listened to Time out of Mind a few days back, and damn was I impressed with it. It might be my favorite of the lot at the moment. Not saying it's his best or anything, just that it struck me the most on first listen.

 

[BoMac]

BoMac is my new hero.

Wow.

Who was your old one?

 

[lazarus]

Rhymes with "Rudolph Spittler"

Ok, so this is an actual thread title in The Other Place:

Man On The Train - Better The Second Time?


Might be time for me to go on another torching of that foul realm.

I watched this once. There won't be a second time.

If you actually read the thread, it's awesome, because apparently the answer to the question is no.

 

[cobl04]

Check out the latest new thread.

 

[LemonMelon]

Wow.

I normally don't repeat the cliche because it grates on me and find it is sometimes incorrectly attributed to amusing threads in downtime, but fucking hell we need a new album.

 

[bono_212]

I was about to post in there and then decided not to. Now I have to.

 

[LemonMelon]

I can't believe this is happening. Did someone just make that thread?

 

[Vlad n U 2]

You guys are all a bit ... obsessed.

 

[LemonMelon]

What the fuck

 

[bono_212]

Mofo, (or anyone really) have you ever heard of Cornelius? Listening to that album right now and it's pretty great. I would listen to a lot more Japanese music if I heard anything besides J-Pop ever.

 

[u2popmofo]

I've heard of Cornelius, but never actually listened. I forget, what's the music like?

MONO are Japanese. Probably one of the major reasons I buy all their albums.

 

[bono_212]

I want to hear more of anything in Japanese, I'm forgetting the language like crazy .

It's very glitchy and psych with some poppy little songs. It kinda reminds me of Super Furry Animals, but it's on tons and tons of crack.

Cornelius - Count Five or Six - YouTube

For example.

 

[bono_212]

But then there are songs like this on it as well:

Cornelius - Star Fruits Surf Rider - YouTube

 

[Danny Boy]

I want to hear more of anything in Japanese, I'm forgetting the language like crazy .

In that case, MONO probably isn't a very good recommendation.
