Random Music Thread LXXII: National Lampoon's Bogan Vacation

[lazarus]

Saved again.

I think Surf's Up is one of the best Beach Boys songs. It might have my favorite lyrics of any of their songs.

 

[LemonMelon]

Do you realize how many awful thread titles Cobbler can come up with in his time off? Hurry it up, guys.

 

[the tourist]

So this part of the forum seems more dead than normal today. Or is it just me?

 

[u2popmofo]

Whole forum has seemed dead lately.

 

[Cactus Annie]

I was thinking that? What's happened? Has facebook taken away all our members?

 

[bono_212]

It's been pretty dead all week and some of the last.


So, like, what the fuck KROQ? Fuck you.

 

[the tourist]

Listening to that little Glasvegas Christmas EP. Man this guy has an accent.

 

[monkeyskin]

Man, the big name Aussie tour calendar is busy. I've got tickets for Vampire Weekend, Nick Cave and Bob Mould sorted, with Springsteen and STONE ROSES on sale next week

 

[No spoken words]

Four of those sound fucking awesome, one sounds like torture. Enjoy!

 

[lazarus]

Pretty lonely over there in that Kaiser Chiefs tragic news thread, you guys.

 

[bono_212]

I feel like giving my condolences, but I'm not even sure who he is.

Poor Springsteen.

Given how crap their songs got, the band might be better off without him.

Or they'll just do us a favour and break up.

 

[lazarus]

Poor Springsteen.

NSW obviously still rattled by this shocking revelation:


It's Funny, I've Actually Only Been To New Jersey A Couple Of Times | The Onion - America's Finest News Source

 

[martha]

Someone posted that to my facebook. I didn't think it was that good. There's a LOT to make fun of, but that one just didn't work for me.

 

[lazarus]

In case anyone cares about the Grammys anymore, here are the Album Of The Year nominees:

Black Keys, El Camino
fun., Some Nights
Mumford & Sons, Babel
Frank Ocean, Channel Orange
Jack White, Blunderbuss


Go Frank.

 

[bono_212]

Gotta be slightly impressed that they're all "indie" albums.

 

[lazarus]

Suck it, Coldplay.

(only nominated for Rock Album and Best Rock Performance-Charlie Brown)

 

[lazarus]

Fiona only makes it into Alternative, which is pretty ludicrous considering how organic it is.

That category:

M83
Bjork
Gotye
Tom Waits
Fiona


clearly what AOTY should have been, minus the Aussie shit.

 

[LemonMelon]

I'm gonna be totally honest. And this is with all the love in the world for Channel Orange and Frank Ocean.

He's there because he's a good story.

You know what I mean.

"B-BUT EVERYONE LIKES THE ALBUM IT WAS SO CRITICALLY ACCLAIMED!!!"

My Beautiful Dark Twisted Fantasy got snubbed.

"B-BUT IT SOLD GOOD RIGHT?"

Still hasn't gone gold.

"SO THEY'RE TRYING TO BE RACIALLY DIVERSE AND STUFF"

Could have settled on Nicki Minaj.

But this is alright with me, because the album is by far and away the best of this batch. Really, it's the only album there that has potential to one day be remembered as Great.

 

[Moonlit_Angel]

Wow, Muse's The 2nd Law is nominated in the rock album category.

Few artists I like in some of these categories, so woo to them for being nominated. I'll probably watch, then, especially if any of them wind up performing.

Pretty lonely over there in that Kaiser Chiefs tragic news thread, you guys.

Honestly surprised they're still a thing. I tried to like them before I was into much better music. I failed.

I agree with all this.

Fiona would have been a good story too. Still too crazy for them, I'm guessing.

Would be pretty cool if she took her category. Luckily there's no AOTY for her to compete against. No way M83 or Bjork win. Waits is a possibility, and I'd have no problem with that.

But I have a bad feeling Gotye wins. Hopefully not.

there's something i'm missing here. m83 and tom waits weren't last year?

 

[HeartlandGirl]

So not happy with the new iTunes right now, you guys.

I'm not normally someone who flips out when things get changed (I gladly welcomed timeline on the book of face, for example), but this new iTunes is some bullshit. I love to see my music the way it appears in song view--just a long list. But now if I search, I can no longer view what I've searched for in list form. I have to look at these bullshit groupings where half the artwork is missing (even after I've tried to acquire it for legitimate, well known records, to no avail). I like to do silly things like listen to all of my Ryan Adams songs in alphabetical order, and I can't for the life of me figure out how to get it to let me do that anymore without adding songs to some bizarre "up next" queue.

Deadline for eligibility is Oct. 1st.

 

[The Sad Punk]

Fuck it, I'ma listen to that Fiona Apple album now I guess. Seems that these accolades are for real.

 

[No spoken words]

I hope you hate it.

 

[The Sad Punk]

I'll try my darndest to love it just for you.
