I'm jk.
My team won bar trivia again last night. For one of the theme rounds we were given the birth name of a 2012 Grammy nominee and we had to provide the stage name.
So it was shit like: Stefani Germanotta, Dwayne Michael Carter, Aubrey Graham, Alicia Moore, Katherine Hudson, Stacy Ferguson, Justin Vernon, etc.
Easy shit. I nailed it. The only ones I missed were Cee-Lo and Bruno Mars. Don't even remember what their real names were now.
But the host also told us that there will be an Arrested Development round next week. I've been meaning to go back and watch the whole series (haven't sat down and done that in probably like 3 years) and now is a great time to do it. If I watch every episode of that show between now and Sunday, I highly doubt I'll get a single question wrong. It will be so fresh in my mind.
LemonMelon said:Listening to Camp right now. About halfway through and am confused but intrigued by Glover's talent. He's a great singer, and he can write, but this album has no idea what it wants to be. Parts of this sound like shitty Goblin retreads, and other parts sound like everything on the radio at the moment (Heartbeat is painfully transparent with its Skrillex-wannabe beat). But then there are brilliant tracks like Outside that bring it all together. Lyrically, Fire Fly is excellent too, although I feel like the hook is tacked on.
I dunno, I'm kind of feeling this, but it's a mess. I hope he makes more albums and starts to shore up his persona a little bit. He goes from Tyler to Kanye to Kid Cudi and back again, and it's not so much versatile as it is confused.

Ha. Your crusade against all things Oasis, and your lingering 15-year-old bitterness about a stupid media conceived "rivalry" between Oasis and your beloved Blur, is sad and pathetic.
iron yuppie said:I'm nowhere near as versed in hip-hop as many of you, but it seems to me that Glover's flow is noticeably underdeveloped on Freaks & Geeks, almost as though he is struggling to keep up with the beat. He sounds really uncomfortable, which is something I cannot say about Kanye or Cobbler's boys from Outkast.
He's the one who made the AIDS comment, IIRC.
Like I'm the only person who hates the Gallaghers?
I don't hate them because of the blur rivalry, it's because they're just flat-out assholes. The blur thing (like wishing Damon gets AIDS) is only one example of their assholery.
