If Music Could Talk

I'm outing myself as the resident DD expert/fan of the group. That's been well understood for awhile, I think. They're not a band that has aged well for me. Stuff that I moderately liked once is mostly a shrug now. Tho I do dig that early disco-ish version of "Girls on Film." I actually find myself...

Whitey Herzog dies a 92.

He broke my heart as a kid when his Cards beat my Brewers in the 1982 Series.

Well in the sense that they all sound terrible yes tbey do sound the same. And TBH I could have swore more of their catalog was littered with camera sounds. I've not heard much more of their catalog beyond the first couple of albums and some hit singles. I think Doc is the resident DD expert, alt l...

You tell me. I expect one Duran Duran song sounds like the next to those revbob ears . However it's "Girls on Film" that has the camera sounds not "Rio". Well in the sense that they all sound terrible yes tbey do sound the same. And TBH I could have swore more of their catalog was littered with cam...

Sure, good on her—lids finding pots and all that. My criticism, explicit or implicit, is always on the audiences that exist to keep it going. It's just the antithesis of a demanding audience. Hello, I'm not sure what the criticism of the audience is. They want a memory/greatest hits set; she provid...

Former pitcher Ken Holtzman

Hello,

I remember him as being pretty good for the Cubs - I had his baseball card. RIP, Ken.

Won a couple of titles with the soon to be defunct Oakland Athletics.

80's era Ozzy fronting Sabbath, for instance. Without Live Aid - we would not have gotten this.

Credit for Live Aid and all that, but does anyone remember/respect Geldof as a musician? It's fine to like a few songs and whatever, but nobody is ever speaking about him and Joe in the same breath. I guess it was good to bring awareness to the famine and general awareness of a very overlooked cont...

Nice enough sweet but just a bit chewy for my liking and annoying tendency to get stuck in your teeth. Funnily enough, i was only remembering this ad very recently for some reason. https://youtu.be/qqCZe3WA-zE Wow. This commercial just screams mid-90's!? You’d think Hoy would reconsider his positio...

Who's read Morrissey's Autobiography ? Is it worth my time, even as a hate-read? I love it... every other page had something that made me laugh out loud - usually, it was the bitterness and venom with which he described people (judges, teachers, politicians, royalty etc.) I can see how some don't l...

And of course Bob Geldof famously prematurely announced the death of Ian Dury during his brief career as a radio host. According to his wiki page: The event caused music paper NME (who had been involved in a running feud with Geldof since his Boomtown Rats days—primarily due to his disparagement of...

Wow. This commercial just screams mid-90's!?

Bringing it all together, I just came across this JDB quote: "I always wanted to be famous, like Napoleon. Then I discovered The Clash... and my destiny was pre-determined." Nicky Wire added: "The Clash's London Calling is probably my most played album of all time. To us, they became icons, the she...
