If Music Could Talk

Brooklyn man who had freezer full of roommate’s body parts arrested. Arrested?! This stupid country. I'd have thrown him a parade. Note to self...dont be roommates with Kory, no matter how cheap the rent is It's reeeeeeeal cheap...just an arm and a leg. The traditional cuts are always the best

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 ...

I just went to CNN's page. It has "live updates." Um, he's dead, and unless Jesus really despises us he isn't coming back. Wasn't David Irving meant to have died? It was never confirmed and there's nothing on wiki so I get to celebrate that all over again when it does happen. Huh, you’re right. Wik...

https://i.redd.it/a6ln24sroitc1.jpeg The american ridicule of british food I always think is pretty weird. Aside from the tomato, this is pretty close to what you'd get at Denny's or whatever. It seems like it's a result of jingoism and the usual aversion of people to trying anything that's unfamil...

It became really "rock" for a few years in the 80s. I went every year from '78 to '98. All bar one year when it was cancelled. It was only half an hours walk from my house. Aww, you will have seen some legendary headliners. Nirvana, New Order... Budgie :twitch: Budgie were like OK to be fair. Prefe...

I'll bet the producer got a right proper bollocking after that balls up.

I think once you're done with your primary schooling, you basically don't need to be exposed to popular music at all if you don't want to be, so the idea that revbob (or anyone) wouldn't know a bunch of pop hits once they became middle aged adults isn't that surprising. I mean, I know fuck all abou...

To be fair its real success was yet to come as it didn't go top ten in the US until early 83. It had reached a modest #30 in the UK a month or two previous to this pic. That's wild it took that long to take off in the States. I'm not sure of the exact release date in the States but it was a long cl...

Reading Festival, August1982... FB_IMG_1712683091669.jpg Very interesting. He was without a band, yet his song was riding high at the time.

I wonder, tho, if Curb's finale would have been similarly received if there hadn't been the Seinfeld reference to play off. If Seinfeld's detractors thought, "What the fuck were they doing?" we know exactly what LD is doing here, and so there's more willingness to go along. Mind you, I was fine wit...
