Random Music Talk XXVI: You can smell the whiskey burnin' down Cobbledicks Rd

[corianderstem]

Let's just say I already had something in common with the Reznor family...

Spoiler

Yeah, and you should cut those nails, because that's really effing disgusting. I mean, how do you type? How do you do .... uh ... personal stuff?

GROSS.

 

[lazarus]

Nope. For the same reason that I haven't far beyond the Trilogy. I wanted to familiarize myself with those, but now that I'm feeling wistful listening to any given second of those three records, I think it's time to move on. Keeping your comment on Westerberg in mind, is it worth it to head in that direction before the other Mats records? The last two records get awful reviews, and I'll confess that the idea of a less melodic Replacements doesn't really appeal to me, so the first two don't scream essential for me.

Don't listen to the critics. Don't Tell A Soul is WAY too overproduced but has enough good songs to make it worth a listen. All Shook Down has Scott Litt on the boards, and it's a big improvement, though it's definitely a more somber affair. It's essentially a solo album anyway with the other 'Mats alternating with various sessions dudes (supposedly they all only played together on one song), but it's all about Paul anyway, innit? The lyrics are fantastic, and the first 9 songs are all great.

Sorry Ma is punky but the songs are all catchy for the most part. And Hootenanny is probably way more diverse than you'd expect.

 

[Reggo]

How do you do .... uh ... personal stuff?

Thank you, Cori, for putting that mental image in my head.

 

[corianderstem]

Hey, I'm here to help.

 

[Reggo]

Hey, I'm here to help.

Anything that blocks out the vision of my dad in drag is welcome.

 

[corianderstem]

.....

Uh ....... Yeah, I'm pretty sure I don't want to know.

 

[lazarus]

Is "Reggo's Dad" the new Lance's Mom??

 

[Reggo]

Is "Reggo's Dad" the new Lance's Mom??

Hey! Where'd you find that pic of him?

If you like, he can be. They're probably the same person anyway.

 

[Reggo]

.....

Uh ....... Yeah, I'm pretty sure I don't want to know.

You don't This afternoon was one of the most horrifying of my life.

 

[GirlsAloudFan]

I've read that J. Timberlake has been in the studio recently recording new music.

Yessssssssssssss.

 

[lazarus]

That's awesome news. Futuresexxx was one damned amazing album.

Supposedly he's single again too.

 

[GirlsAloudFan]

Indeed it was. And it's been like 5 years.

Oh, shit. Yeah, looks like he and Jessica Biel have split. (I don't know which one of them is more attractive.)

In other "could be complete bullshit" celebrity rumors, there is word that Scarlett Johansson and Sean Penn are dating.

 

[cobl04]

It's turning out to be a pretty damn good year for releases...

I'm developing a pretty strong hatred for that station.

Ummm....


Yeah, I think that story may be true, GAF. We can only be in awe of Penn.

GO MAN GO!

 

[iron yuppie]

Recent pictures of Scarlett look as though she has lost twenty pounds. What a shame.

 

[cobl04]

Yeah those curves were to die for...

 

[iron yuppie]

Well, there's always Christina Hendricks...

In other news, I just found "Discotheque" and "Last Night on Earth" singles for 10 and 30 pence, respectively. Looks as though Pop has not aged too well for the Brits.

 

[cobl04]

What are you doing over there anyway? What's your job?

I can't sleep. There's a clock ticking and it's driving me insane.

 

[iron yuppie]

I'm working on a PhD. There's some libraries over here with documents that I need for my dissertation. That's probably a lot less glamorous than you were hoping. Apologies!

 

[martha]

It sounds great to me.

 

[lazarus]

The dream I was awoken from by my alarm this morning featured me as a drug dealer (in the guise of Ice Cube) being chased down the stairwell of a run-down apartment building by a cop played by Queen Latifah.

WTF?

And why is my subconscious stuck in the 90's?

Damn you, Zoots.

 

[corianderstem]

I've read that J. Timberlake has been in the studio recently recording new music.

This pleases me.

In other "could be complete bullshit" celebrity rumors, there is word that Scarlett Johansson and Sean Penn are dating.

GROCE.

It's turning out to be a pretty damn good year for releases...

No kidding! Even just the first half of this year - between the ones that have already come out and looking over what's coming out between now and May, it's good pickins.

 

[GirlsAloudFan]

Time for happy hour.

I'll see you guys on Sunday.

 

[GirlsAloudFan]

It's a liberty walk.

You know, it's like none of the Spiderman suckers producers ever saw the disaster that was Million Dollar Hotel.

You saw it. Would you have given Bono any money to write/produce anything except an album of music?

And even then?

 

[CrashedCarDriver]

Seems like Lykke Li has found a niche writing songs by having solid soundscapes to cover up straightforward lyrics writen in broken English

This takes us back 20 years when Roxette was doing such a great job in singing simple pop songs in Broken English

 

[Imperor]

And yet the album is still absolutely fantastic.
