Random Music Talk LXXX: Sordid Details of the GAF-Mark Buehrle Affair

[IWasBored]

reggaeton

This is one so-called genre of sound that is supposed to be music that does not appear to have any redeeming exceptions that don't suck. While I'm never going to like most hip hop, and will never be able to distinguish large portions of techno that I've heard from each other, my ordinary, sweeping dislike of most rap and quite a bit of electronic music vastly pale in comparison to the utter loathing I have for that shit.

well, I was underrating Paramore's new album. Listened to it on repeat all day, and out of 14 tracks there are only two (#3 and 13) I'd throw overboard, and an awful lot of quality in between.

Gotta disagree with you though, GAF; I relistened to Brand New Eyes tonight and for the most part didn't like it at all- the non-singles wilt in comparison to what they're doing here.

So there aren't 17 tracks on this album? Because wow, this is turning into a bit of an epic. I'm enjoying myself, but there's still like 8 songs left...

 

[martha]

I don't know, you guys. He sounds great, he'll have a four-piece band, the Troubadour's small and semi-dumpy. It might be a ton of fun.

Ashley, I listened to Charli XCX this morning. Good stuff. Will buy. Thanks for raving about her!

 

[u2popmofo]

Been meaning to check that out, will do it now.

there's one track chopped up into 3 one minute long tracks, so there's really 14 (or 15) proper songs. But....yeah, still a few left.

 

[GirlsAloudFan]

Wrong. There are 17 tracks. The three "interludes" are three different originals that Hayley wrote on ukulele. And they're awesome. There are 17 individual tracks on the album.

Why is everyone being an idiot today?

Who the fuck takes Zack Greinke's side over Carlos Quentin's? Good lord. I need to get away for a while, or something. Dream it all up again.

Literally everyone who is not a Padre or White Sox fan?

Summed up last night by a national writer:

Boy, that 240-pound guy who's led the league in HBP the last 2 years sure taught that 190-pound guy who hit his plate-crowding arm a lesson.

 

[u2popmofo]

I'm totally going to listen to a bunch of these.

She's the best. I'm so happy. I never expected the album to live up to my expectations. I actually reviewed the album on the blog and everything DUN DUN DUUUNNN.

Been meaning to check that out, will do it now.

Please do, it's so good. So much good.

Ah ok.

Was uh, Grooveshark being completely ridiculous or was that horrible cover of SBS supposed to be on the album?

Generally favoriable towards the album though, glad you guys brought it up

Oh that's hot.

Apparently I wasn't the only one interested in Tom Jones. The show looks like it sold out in a minute. I kind of thought it would.

People are weird.

 

[corianderstem]

Got decent seats for Paul McCartney. YAY!

 

[PhilsFan]

I think I'm finally getting over this food poisoning. Hopefully I can eat my first meal since Monday today. And then celebrate with an excessive amount of drinking.

 

[martha]

Drinking heavily is the way to make your tummy feel better.

 

[HeartlandGirl]

I love reggaeton, and I don't care who knows it.

 

[PhilsFan]

Nah, I've been pretty by-the-book so far. Drinking heavily was me mocking myself. I'm not there yet. I'm not a fan of steps forward/steps backward when I'm truly not well. I didn't have a drink for two months when I had mono.

 

[martha]

Ok good. I know it's none of my business, but... still... I worry.

Last night in Nashville. I'm going to walk down Broadway and find some decent live music.

Just came from a cowboy boot store. $350 and up. I had no idea.

 

[Danny Boy]

Also, bars in the south seem to have a shitty beer selection.

 

[Danny Boy]

I do believe this is the first country-only record shop I have ever set foot in.

Well, to be fair, they also have bluegrass and gospel.

 

[LemonMelon]

We have both kinds: country and western!

 

[Danny Boy]

Now at B.B. King's. Anticipate drunk posting later.

Did you get a ticket?

being completely ridiculous. I think that's a 5 year old B-side and yeah, a bad cover to boot

 

[martha]

Did you get a ticket?

No. They were gone at 1:00, right when they went on sale. There may have been up to 400 tickets or so available. It would have been sweet.

 

[joyfulgirl]

Bummer. Try again closer to the date of the show.

$350 is actually really cheap. Yeah, I was surprised when I moved to NM, too. They're like $600 and up. Did you see Gram Parsons' nudie suit?

 

[Danny Boy]

I did not. Where is that?

There's a local guy playing blues at BB's and he is flat killing it.

I've moved up from beer to bourbon. It's Tennessee after all.

See if they've got Arrested Development on the jukebox.
