ugh it was a dumb video.

Well done Australia on claiming Belgian feat. New Zealander as your own.

No, in seriousness, I think it's pretty cool. When I first saw Kimbra live in a little club I thought "she's going to go far", but not this far and especially not this fast.

Way better than anything Savage Garden put out too.

 

[Imperor]

The odds were in her favor being that hot. Plus she's got pipes. I greatly enjoyed the set of hers I caught at SX for all the right and all the wrong reasons.

 

[cobl04]

I thought the SNL skit with Andy Samberg and the evil Glee Club co-ordinator was great.

 

[Reggo]

Thinking of purchasing Disraeli Gears. Would you all say it's worth it, or should I just Spotify it to satisfy my curiosity?

 

[IWasBored]

Is it horrible that I don't know a single Tupac song?

I envy you.

Spotify it. Good album, but the hits tower above the rest, as is often the case for Cream.

Wheels of Fire is my favorite Cream album, fwiw, just because I dig their live performances more than the studio work. They were far less creative with their production than many of their peers. Listen to Are You Experienced and compare it to Fresh Cream and you can hear the difference.

 

[martha]

Trav, did you ever listen to Eric Clapton's Rainbow Concert album?

 

[LemonMelon]

Completely slipped my mind, but after scanning the wiki I remembered why it was so imperative

Eric Clapton
Pete Townshend
Ronnie Wood
Steve Windwood
etc.

performing

Layla
Badge
Little Wing
Bell Bottom Blues
Let It Rain
Crossroads
etc.

I'm going to drop what I'm doing and listen right now.

 

[martha]

It's been a favorite if mine for years. The cd has more songs than the lp does, so when I got the cd, I was pleasantly surprised.

 

[LemonMelon]

Yeah, the vinyl track listing blows. Nearly everything I'm interested in hearing is on the remaster.

Why the hell did they start the concert with Layla? That's suicide.

 

[cobl04]

 

[LemonMelon]

Jay Reatard billed above Big Star? Fuck that.

 

[IWasBored]

I know that Blur has its fair share of devoted fans, but is a 21-disc set really necessary for this particular band?

* SPOILER *

I can't really think of it being necessary for any band. And I neither have I.

M83′s Anthony Gonzalez Wants to Write Katy Perry’s Next Album

HAAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!

 

[IWasBored]

21 discs? Christ.

Still, that's got nothing on the Merzbox.

Japanese dude who releases 100 disc sets of static and bleeps, is it?

It's funny because we're saying the same thing over here.

M83′s Anthony Gonzalez Wants to Write Katy Perry’s Next Album

HAAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!

Maybe I could finally watch her videos with the sound on

That's the worst picture of her imaginable and one of the least newsworthy articles I've ever seen btw

[LemonMelon]

Martha, this is the worst version of Bell Bottom Blues I've ever heard. Eric keeps forgetting lyrics and it's played at like 1/4 speed. Reminds me of U2's Walk On performances from the past couple tours.

Otherwise, this concert has kicked ass so far and was a great recommendation. Can't wait for Let It Rain and Crossroads.

EDIT: Pete Townshend just told the crowd that Eric Clapton has STDs. Awesome.

Internet "journalism" at its finest. The headline cracks me up.

Do you think that the person that wrote that article and came up with the headline actually gets paid?

We should start a blog or something. I'll bet we can come up with higher quality crap than that.

Can I write 500-word pieces on all the Outkast songs, one per day, six days a week?

I would assume you already have them written and it's just a matter of posting them.

Maybe they couldn't find anywhere else to make out.
