Random Music Talk LXXXI: Now with special V.I.P.-level option ($450)

[lazarus]

I was on the Wire mailing list from like 2001-2003 before I came over here. Funny how we used to do things back then. IIRC one of the main posters was a lazarus. Is that the same one who started this thread?

Baby, if I'm half the man I say I am
If I'm a woman with no fear just like I claim I am

 

[GirlsAloudFan]

I've been getting into the habit lately of dreaming about Lieutenant Kara Thrace.

 

[PhilsFan]

I have been in one bar fight. My buddy was dancing with a girl and some guy took exception to it and wordlessly started shoving him. My friend tried to ignore him but finally turned and asked what his problem was, at which point a second guy ran up like he wanted to hit my friend. So another buddy of mine popped him in the face as he approached and it ended up as a 5-on-5 brawl. For my part, I grabbed a guy and put him in a chokehold (the only effective move I have with my lack of strength and reach) and kept him on the ground until it got broken up. On the way out one of the guys who was not from our crew swung and hit a bouncer and broke his rib, so the cops got called and we got interrogated outside the bar for nearly an hour.

We returned to that same bar the next night.

 

[GirlsAloudFan]

That's all well and good, but I still contend that the greatest opening credits theme music in TV history is "We Used To Be Friends" by the Dandy Warhols.

Stringer Bell.

 

[GirlsAloudFan]

So, to summarize, Phoenix, Flaming Lips, and Yeah Yeah Yeahs all put out new albums recently and they're all pretty fucking boring and underwhelming.

 

[Jive Turkey]

Jive Turkey, get your ass to Mars the Video Game Thread for some Bioshock Infinite ending talk.

awwww yeah

I paid the rent instead of buying Bioshock Infinite. Jive is going to throw something Canadian at me.

Uh, rent isn't going to entertain you then blow your mind. Get your priorities straight

 

[Taylor Swift]

My latest album RED is on sale at a Walgreens near you!

Drink Diet Coke!

And tell that Lazarus guy that he can seriously go fuck himself!

 

[joyfulgirl]

Two free VIP tickets and backstage passes for GirlsAloudFan for Chicago or we might have to tell you the same thing.

Some of the professional groups I'm involved with still have email listservs. Hey guys, did you know there are these fancy interweb forums where you can communicate in real time?

 

[Danny Boy]

And tell that Lazarus guy that he can seriously go fuck himself!

I'm sure everyone on this board would appreciate it if you went out with him once and then recorded a song called "Laz, Go Fuck Yourself."

Spoiler

Including Laz.

According to Cobbler anyway. Have you heard any of them yet?

My list of boring, shitty 2013 albums would include Iron & Wine and Youth Lagoon.

And tell that Lazarus guy that he can seriously go fuck himself!

I wonder how much shit he talked about Yankee Hotel Foxtrot on the Wire mailing list when Robert Christgau's review came out.

 

[Danny Boy]

I'm giving this Youngblood Hawk album a chance, but at first blush it seems they may have just rereleased that Imagine Dragons album under a different name.

 

[iron yuppie]

I haven't heard Phoenix yet, but I wouldn't call YYYs, Flaming Lips, or Iron & Wine "shitty." There has yet to be a 2013 album I have heard that I would classify as "bad."

 

[bono_212]

Oh, I have.

I'm looking at you, Fall Out Boy.

 

[IWasBored]

I haven't listened to anything released in 2013 that was bad. The dropkick murphys album was just mediocre. But the only other albums put out this year that i've checked out were bad religion, kurt vile, depeche mode, and the thermals. None of those sucked. Not going to do what I did last year and look into everything that sounds remotely interesting or is being talked up around here, because 95% of it ended up being a complete waste of time.

I still need to hear the new ducky boys album. I'm a bad fan. Every other mark lind project since 2004 I've been all over the day it came out. And I still haven't gotten to the Steve Earle one either, but it only reminds me I never even listened to the one before it.

 

[iron yuppie]

I'm looking at you, Fall Out Boy.

You've only got yourself to blame for that one.

 

[IWasBored]

Oh, I have.

I'm looking at you, Fall Out Boy.

The problem with both Internet people and real life people telling me this album is awful, is that it makes me curious to hear why it is so incredibly awful. I believe you guys that it's really bad, but I can't help but think there might be some hilarious entertainment value to its awfulness.

I started listening to Open Your Heart once, thought it was awesome, and forgot to get back to them. Thanks for reminding me I need to do that.
