Random Music Talk CIII; WHATCHA GONNA DO BRUTHA WHEN HOMOMANIA RUNS WILD ON YOOOOOUUU

[lazarus]

I've never minded The Police and like most of their big hits, but hearing the actual studio albums is a revelation.

Hey guyz:

 

[PhilsFan]

Is anyone here listening to the Serial podcast?

 

[gump]

A friend recommended it to me with high praise, haven't checked it out yet. The idea behind it is very cool, though.

 

[PhilsFan]

I honestly didn't realize it was about a real case until around the third episode. It's much more interesting knowing it's real because there's a high likelihood that there won't be a satisfying end to it. Everyone praising it has been proven right, in my opinion.

 

[gump]

I'll definitely check it out when I have a chance.

 

[corianderstem]

I still really like a lot of the Police hits.

 

[IWasBored]

fuck the police.

ha.

 

[Danny Boy]

Hey guyz:

I will be getting that one. I hope we get to hear some original Gareth holiday "cheer" rather than just Christmas standards.

 

[bono_212]

I <3 Christmas albums, especially when they grace us with original tracks.

 

[cobl04]

I am very excite, I don't know if you guys have noticed but I've kinda been talking about Los Campesinos! a bit of late

 

[david]

What the hell, grumpy Mark Kozelek has a Christmas album out?

 

[lazarus]

I'm surprise Gareth didn't call it "Coal In Stocking" or something else depressing.

 

[Danny Boy]

I'm surprise Gareth didn't call it "Coal In Stocking" or something else depressing.

I half expect that to be the title of one of the tracks.

 

[Hewson]

Maybe it includes a version of this:

You're a Mean One Mr Grinch by The Whirling Derveshes - YouTube

 

[cobl04]

I am so fucking bored at work today. Can we do something exciting? I literally just wasted half an hour by walking the long way to the shops to get a banana.

 

[liamcool]

Would you be up for listening to an album?

 

[cobl04]

Afraid not. Only because I've still got four cold calls to make. And no one is answering.

 

[bono_212]

Then what do you suggest?

 

[Imperor]

Lemel, got a challenge for you.

The Replacements' have a lot of great songs on their albums, and a lot of filler.

Make a 12 track best of album. No other restrictions.


Siouxsie and the Banshees

Juju
A Kiss At The Dreamhouse
Hyaena
Tinderbox

They are a band who I just can't get into the albums of, but adore certain tracks from.

If there was a compilation of:

I Will Dare
Androgynous
Unsatisfied
Sixteen Blue
Answering Machine
Kiss Me on the Bus
Waitress in the Sky
Bastards of Young
Alex Chilton
Never Mind
Can't Hardly Wait

It'd be my favorite album ever. And, I think I've made a similar version of this post before.


The Cure:
Just Like Heaven
Charlotte Sometimes
Disintegration
A Night Like This

I've heard an earlier record, but I'm going to compile a best of out of their three most popular releases:

1. I Will Dare
2. Hold My Life
3. Alex Chilton
4. Androgynous
5. The Ledge
6. Never Mind
7. Unsatisfied
8. Bastards of Young
9. Left of the Dial
10. Sixteen Blue
11. Here Comes a Regular
12. Answering Machine

But while I consider those three of the greatest albums of the 80s, I am not familiar enough with their other work to include it along with these classics.

 

[liamcool]

Things I've learned today - there's like 20 good Replacements songs and the rest of fun but inessential.

I'd go:

Hold My Life
Alex Chilton
I Will Dare
We're Comin' Out
Kiss Me On The Bus
The Ledge
Bastards of Young
Unsatisfied
Valentine
Left of the Dial
Answering Machine
Can't Hardly Wait
