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?

I'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.



PS: the Exploited rule you fucking SRPs.
My comment about "You never will understand good music" was actually stolen from you (said about me) as I always found it highly amusing.

Everyone 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.
Yeah but I think it is mostly done for comedic effect anyway, except when everyone but Heston thinks KISS sucks. ;)
Agreed.

Yes, yes you are. Sometimes...

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.

Did I mention I stopped by the old location when I was last in town? It was lame as hell.

Like an overpriced boutique that was trying desperately to be hip by retaining posters and graffiti on the walls—trying to look "grime-chic."

So, Suicide being used to sell perfume. Your rebellion will be commodified if it's worth a damn.
