If Music Could Talk

i...Tunes? When did "tunes" become a verb? And when did we stop capitalizing "I"? :huh: I try to capitalize the "I" whenever I can, even when Apple autocorrect fights me tooth and nail on it. I hate stylized branding and refuse to participate (although I probably subconsciously did it somewhere in ...

I used to be app-crazy, but after I realized I only use like three of them (Words With Friends, TuneIn Radio, and Facebook) I use it more for music. Not so much for the punk / rock genres (I have enough of those CDs to sink a ship and enough mp3 DVD-Rs to sink another, plus I know where and how to a...

The Damned (The Doomed) Siouxsie and the Banshees 999 The Lurkers Tubeway Army The Clash Rich Kids Tom Robinson Band The Stranglers Dr. Feelgood Sham 69 The Jam The Undertones KISS Starship Man, I would give up my left arm or something to have seen all of thos...

I'm inclined to believe that the rehab he checked into today was also 100% pre-fab Clear Channel schtick.

Oh, shit. I didn't hear that part of it until you just mentioned it. Wow.

1994 was 18 years ago. Heard this on the radio today. When you say "We've been around the music business since 1988!" it's over. Who CARES? Anyway, I believe this is 100% a pre-fab schtick that Clear Channel could record and send to its rock stations so Green Day sounds all "rebellious". They've pl...

Just listened to I Got One Jealous Again, Again off the new NOFX album. Ugh. I hate sad shit.

That's a possibility - I was actually thinking of him going on stage at his rallies drunk and/or drugged out of mind ala late-period Jim Morrison and somehow something went wrong as a result of that. The possibilities are really pretty endless.

Greatest series finale ever.

I remember watching that when it aired, when I was 9 or 10 or however old I was. That finale legitimately blew my mind. May have been the first series finale of any import that I ever watched, come to think of it. Set a pretty high bar.

That Beck is also crazy—O'Reilly, Hannity, Limbaugh know that they're selling snake oil, but Beck comes off as actually believing his own droolings—complicates analyzing his post-Fox actions. He seems a prime candidate to die in a truly bizarre fashion—say, hiring his own assassin to complete some ...

My understanding is that he was extremely disliked by the other Faux News "talent" (esp. O'Reilly)—jealousy, too, no doubt—and that their protests pushed Ailes' hand. That makes enough sense to me. Although it's strange that he would shuffle off to an online TV show instead of using his then-clout ...

Shit, you're right. How has that NOT been mentioned? That's a stone cold classic.

Buddy Holly is better than Say It Ain't So. I like BH and all, but Say It Ain't So just does it for me a lot more on every level. Aside from the lyrics hitting a lot harder, it's one of those songs where I like every single thing the guitar is doing for every second of the song. BH strikes my ears ...

The best 90s song is "Intense Humming of Evil" by the Manics. "dude seriously were you around in the 90s? i never herd of this song and you say its the best of 90s? i'm gonna read this message every day and realize how misguided peopel" - random Youtube commenter *I* like it, anyway. I do cast my l...

Brilliant.

Also - Def Leppard has a little six-minute-plus number called Rocket...
