Re: Mate's Takes - The Weezer Discography

Weezer is interesting to me. I honestly liked the Blue Album and Pinkerton and the Green Album was solid, as well. At some point, however, I just stopped caring about them ... to the point of total indifference and I'm not sure why. Was it just too much of the same thing? I can think of plenty of ba...

Re: Paranoid

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...

Re: Paranoid

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...

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...

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.

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...

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...
