Re: Paranoid

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...

Re: You're still a thing? Bands that you thought were finished but are playing the local casino this week

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...

Hello,

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

Re: The Kaleb Horton Deceased Latvian Foreign Minister Thread, 2024 Edition

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...

Re: The All Smiths/Morrissey Thread

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...

Re: The Kaleb Horton Deceased Latvian Foreign Minister Thread, 2024 Edition

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...

Re: The Manic Street Preachers Discussion MegaThread

https://superdeluxeedition.com/news/manic-street-preachers-lifeblood-20th-anniversary-reissue/ I'm on the fence about buying this one. The original was mastered well, so not sure what could be improved. I also already own the B-sides. That said, I'm glad this album is getting a reappraisal. It was a...

Re: Hey Flex (All Encompassing 90's Glorification)

Just curious where would I have heard them? Ive been married since 92 and raising kids since 96, so there wasnt any clubbing going on. During the 90s I actually listened to a fair amount of folk music as well as exploring punk and other rock music (Stooges, MC5 etc) that I wasnt exposed to pre-inte...
