Re: The grocery store (and gas station) music thread

I just heard the Lonesome Loser song. WTF? Oof. That one is a stinker. I took a road trip last weekend and heard Some Guy's Have all the Luck not once, not twice, but seriously THREE times. Yeah that's a shitty one. I heard Piano Man in the store earlier Someone created an AI version of Paul McCart...

Re: The Beatles song you're thinking about right now thread

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=M4vbJQ-MrKo An underrated gem. McCartney's bass playing is golden and Lennon's vocal delivery is wonderfully rough and playful at the same time. Also, his guitar solo is top notch. There's something so wonderfully snarly at work there, a preview of (but better than) ...

Bad lyrics thread...

I heard this clunker at the gas station this morning: But Oz never did give nothing to the Tin Man That he didn't, didn't already have And 'cause never was the reason for the evening Or the tropic of Sir Galahad So please believe in me When I say I'm spinning 'round, 'round, 'round, 'round Smoke gla...

Re: The Mighty Musical Observations Thread

With an acknowledgment that we all age... this is kind of rough. She still sounds good on this version from 2009: It might not be fair to compare this against the Nocturne version (complete with Robert Smith on guitar)... but... Agreed, it's kind of rough, but that goes with the territory when you ...

Re: The All Smiths/Morrissey Thread

I've always found it interesting that early on in his solo days... Morrissey didn't immediately cut ties with his former bandmates. Take a look at who is backing him on this video: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Bk1wUKoXL20 I see Rourke, Joyce, and Gannon. Andy Rourke even threw his hat in the ring...

Re: The Thread to Ruminate About Mike Love's Rape Van

This observation belongs in the rape van: I am very on the record for hating be true to your school, dorky ass shit when it was released and truly vile that they keep performing it as fuckin' crypt keeper old 90 year olds or whatever, but i'm listening to Spirit of America right now (killer comp) a...

Re: Return of the Mighty Observations Thread

My shitty town didn't get a 7-11 until, I'm gonna say, 1985, and originally the slurpee and big gulp machines were behind the counter, so the flunkee had to make them for you. I can't help but think that they thought we were a bunch trailer trash yahoos who wouldn't know how to fill our own cup. Wh...

Hello,

I think Icee is a separate, stand-alone product - I recall Circle-K stores having them. Slurpee is exclusive to 7/11.
Wawa sells Icees. I've also seen them in Walmart and Target.

Re: Return of the Mighty Observations Thread

I literally can't remember the last time I had a slurpee. High school no doubt, but even at my most "who gives a fuck what I'm putting in my body" it just never appealed. Guess I just always preferred the treat the 90s invented: the otter pop 😎 I feel like the Slurpee is a lesser Icee. Perhaps I wa...
