Wait, what?
Look, you have to establish context for these things. And I maintain that unless you appreciate the Fall of Constantinople, the Great Fire of London, and Mickey Mantle's fatalist alcoholism, live Freddy makes no sense. If you want to half-ass it, fine, go call Simon Schama to do the appendix.

The other day, I saw an commercial for perfume(?) that used Suicide's "Dream Baby Dream." We're a long goddamned way from CBGB's in '76, huh?

My comment about "You never will understand good music" was actually stolen from you (said about me) as I always found it highly amusing.Wolter wrote: ↑11 Aug 2017, 8:14pmI'd be offended if anyone ever thought I was seriously throwing around SRP as a real insult.
I mean, Heston likes seriously shit music, and is a massive hypocrite for deciding that the shit he dislikes is somehow worse than the shit he defends, but I mean I'm still fucking around with him.

Agreed.revbob wrote: ↑11 Aug 2017, 7:30pmYeah but I think it is mostly done for comedic effect anyway, except when everyone but Heston thinks KISS sucks.Dr. Medulla wrote: ↑11 Aug 2017, 7:22pmEveryone here has tastes that are at least somewhat confounding or contradictory in terms of genres. Some people's tastes are more catholic than others, but no one sticks to just one genre. So it's always amusing when the SRP or "good music" better-than-you stones get thrown around.

Re: The Mighty Musical Observations Thread
Cocteau Twins fans, do you get a similar vibe from this? It's certainly more melodic/poppy, than CT, but I immediately thought of Milk and Kisses. Maybe I'm way off.

So, Suicide being used to sell perfume.
