U2 should really do a 6 week quarantine album, just for the hell of it.

Stop (The Poverty) has never been more relevant. Time to dust off a classic.

I laughed way harder than I should have at this.
 
If Larry could tour with the band through Zoom feeds, he would.



Like this, but replace Lou Reed with Larry.
 
Fuck, Biffy Clyro's new song isn't even that good but I just love the sound of them playing that I don't care. :heart:

I would bet $100 that it would be their best album since Pop.

Actually, no I wouldn't, I no longer trust Bono to sing in anything but slogans.
 
Charli and Perfume Genius DELIVERED. No disappointment in sight.

Music is the only thing about 2020 that isn't a complete disaster.
 
She knew she was able to fly because when she came down
She had dust on her hands from the sky, she said I touched a cloud
She felt so high, the dust made her cry

And now I also know that they lifted a lot of that from J.D. Salinger, damn.
 
Name a lyric you love that jumps in your head every now and then.

Even in his heart the devil / had to know the water level

There's a La Dispute lyric that comes to me a lot, "I think history's a system of roads and there's nowhere it doesn't go".

And whenever it pops into my mind, I find myself working through the whole second half of Scenes From Highways:

Drive, roll every window down
Let the desert enter heavy and primitive in
Drift till rumble strips sound
Time moves so slow but I know that you meant what you said
You want to go where it’s frozen
All those places where the highways don’t reach

You want to go where it glows
Somewhere that time is irrelevant
You want to go where it glows
Somewhere the spaces are infinite
You want to go where it glows
Somewhere you don’t feel the hours pass by

You identified the flowers on the road
I rolled the windows down and shut off the radio
Did you ever think you’d end up here
All those late nights you were driving alone?
You were riding to hide
Or you were looking for a brand new life
Did you ever think you’d find one back home?
Did you even think you’d get out alive?
Could you imagine then the love you now know?
I think history’s a system of roads and there’s nowhere it doesn’t go
I pulled over to the side and felt no time
Off the highway with the landscape aglow
Still not sure what we were trying to find
I only know we went home
 
Another one that crosses my mind a lot:

One-way trip can work both ways / loose ends kept untied make better friends
 
She knew she was able to fly because when she came down
She had dust on her hands from the sky, she said I touched a cloud
She felt so high, the dust made her cry

And now I also know that they lifted a lot of that from J.D. Salinger, damn.

I don't care about the truth.
 
I don't care about the truth.

Some context:

Originally I had thought the lyric was something else, years and years ago and I was really sad when I found out what I thought it was wasn't what it is, but in the time since, I've come to terms with it and now love the actual lyric. So to now find out that not only is the lyric not what I originally thought it is but also THEY DIDN'T WRITE IT made me laugh.

I just thought it needed a reply from Leave Them All Behind.

Also, speaking of being disappointed to learn you've been hearing a lyric wrong, I'm still furious that The Cure's Funeral Party is "side by side in age and sadness" rather than "side by side in ancient sadness".

OMG, I should've searched for what you wrote before I responded :lol:. Well played.


I've always been disappointed the lyrics to No Rain aren't "You know I'd like to keep my teenage tragedy".
 
Wait, hold up, I didn't realize that was ALSO a Ride song. So am I going to find out that all of Ride's lyrics are just putting J.D. Salinger to music?
 
My favorite lyrics are actually by Bono, despite himself:

Every artist is a cannibal, every poet is a thief
All kill their inspiration, then sing about their grief

I think that is the most meta "I'm a writer" lyric he's ever put together, but it's perfect to me.

I was born to sing for you
I didn't have a choice but to lift you up
And sing whatever song you wanted me to
I give you back my voice
From the womb my first cry, it was a joyful noise

I think that is the most meta "I'm a singer" lyric he's ever put together, but it's perfect to me.

Fixed.
 
Heh heh heh.

For some weird reason I’ve been listening to Metallica’s And Justice For All album a lot lately and I’m not even a huge fan. I know the street behind the bass tracks being virtually non existent in the album but really it’s a tight album. Harvester of Sorrow is kind of kick ass.

I've got to give you your props.
 
I was looking up who she was on Google just now and just went down a ridiculous rabbit whole trying to understand how she was "Spouse(s): Engaged to Stuart Sutcliffe, and twice divorced," when Sutcliffe only lived to be 21. Finally realized they were saying she was engaged to him, and has been twice divorced from two other men :doh:
 
Very random music talk: I listened to White Blood Cells today. I've probably heard it before, but it was back in college and I don't remember. Regardless, I'm glad I did, because I liked that quite a bit. I always feel like I'm not a fan of The White Stripes, but I think it's more to do with just needing them in certain doses.
 
The White Stripes seem to have fallen out of favor a bit, but most of their discography still holds up. It's unfortunate that they got lumped into an era of stripped down garage rock, inadvertently dating their music, when really, their production was quite timeless until Icky Thump cleaned things up and placed them in that loudness war period of alternative rock.

Jack wrote good songs. Meg injected charm into her playing. With all the mystique stripped away, that's all that really matters.
 
I think you're right, though I think it's as much to do with Jack White's exhausting public persona as it is to do with the garage rock dismissiveness.

They're still the band of the decade*, IMO.

Some might say Radiohead but I think they're in the "unfortunate" position of straddling two decades during their peak like U2 and so it's hard to say they defined either.

*Spoon (who I actually prefer) would be a close second

No love for Nickelback? :wink:

Similar to Chase Utley in baseball. He was the second best player (behind Albert Pujols) in the Majors in WAR from 2005 to 2014.
