Random Music Talk XXXVI: Not this time, Cobbler.

[martha]

Aw. I like the Big Girls song.

 

[lazarus]

Despite Elfa's point about Cockrops and Your Jew Room, I think that "realistically" Who's Gonna Serve Your Wild Shuttles and Tryin' To Throw Your Cock Around The Court could easily have been played.

Also The Electric Co(ck) would have been easy for them as well.

 

[If you shout...]

Big Girls Are Best

Definitely the only song I was screaming for, last week.

 

[elevated_u2_fan]

The fact that they sound checked Drowning Man before the tour but never actually even tried it out live really angers me... In a sad obsessed fan sort of way

 

[u2popmofo]

It's extremely disappointing to me as well, I love that song.

 

[lazarus]

Definitely the only song I was screaming for, last week.

I'd rather hear that than Shuttle Rain or AllPlays. Or The Cocks That Boned America. Or Electrical Serve.

 

[LemonMelon]

Just reading this made me feel ridiculously old.

HTDAAB is nearly seven now. It's into Pokemon and Power Rangers and shit. Good Lord.

I don't know what the shit you're talking about, but I probably agree. To be fair, though, I was definitely happier to hear "One Tree Hill" than I would have been to hear the song in question.

Also, laz and others may be interested/sad/overjoyed to hear that Chicago's own Q101 is shutting down, today, and shifting to a talk format, tomorrow. Stream the final hours, and remember what it was like to be young in the '90s and disgusted by the '00s:

Q101 :: Chicago's Alternative :: WKQX-FM :: Live Stream

 

[u2popmofo]

Shoutmeister, I'm listening to Miss Friedberger's album for the first time right now. Enjoying it quite a bit so far.

Shit station now, but I hear it used to be great. I usually leave it on if they're playing Jimmy Eat World or somebody indietastic like Black Keys.

 

[If you shout...]

Hell yeah. Seeing her for $5, next week. Hoping that the album is under $20, so that I can stop having to stream it, but all new Fiery Furances-related releases suddenly became outrageously expensive, circa 2007. I am not too hopeful.

 

[If you shout...]

I am listening to Jane's Addiction, on Q101. Jesus, this station is shit.

 

[u2popmofo]

I got it for just under $13 from Amazon (free shipping with Prime).

 

[If you shout...]

All I see is $19.23. I should clarify, I guess--I'm talking about the LPs, not the CDs.

 

[If you shout...]

LOL! Now "Icky Thump" is playing. Like I said, "...disgusted by the '00s." By the time I'm done vomiting, maybe it'll be over...?

i clicked the link, heard that, and closed the page. with no sentimental attatchments to that particular station, i have no need to listen to exactly the same stuff our lameass local rock stations play.

 

[LemonMelon]

"CHICAGO'S ALTERNATIVE!"

Alternative to what, talent?

I'll be here all week!

 

[If you shout...]

I just want to know whether the last song they play will be "Smells Like Teen Spirit," "Blister in the Sun," or "Head Like a Hole."

 

[If you shout...]

I have a terrifying amount of this countdown on cassette:

Q101 Top 500 of All-Time (1996)

 

[u2popmofo]

Anyone have an opinion on Alela Diane?

 

[corianderstem]

I heard her album and really liked it. It's languishing on my Amazon wish list, but I fully intend on buying it sometime soon.

 

[IWasBored]

it's going to be nirvana. or it will be something completely ridiculous like...like...staind or something.

Oh, wait. Or something by the Pumpkins.

Your hatred of Chicago knows no bounds.

Glad to hear it. I haven't never heard a song of hers, but will be seeing her open for Fleet Foxes next week. When I picked up the tickets last week, the girl at willcall mentioned how much she liked her.

 

[corianderstem]

I don't even recall where I read about her. A review in Q magazine, maybe. I was intrigued.

bizarro list.

Did you fuck this girl?

 

[u2popmofo]

Did you fuck this girl?

If "talked to for 60 seconds" = "fuck", yes.

 

[IWasBored]

Your hatred of Chicago knows no bounds.

you mean my hatred for shitty music knows no bounds. and actually, unlike yourself, i hold very little hate for 90s mainstream rock music overall, particularly grunge shit. although admitting nostalgia for the late 90s probably does nothing for anyone other than makes their age clear (which would probably be somewhere in the bracket of shut up, you're still a kid and damn, i feel old).

i'm good like that. i can loathe places i've never even been. bwhahahahaha.
