When is Flex's birthday????
Wait, I thought we just for-funsies hated Flex. :huh:

A Beach Boys-Limp Bizkit supergroup makes too much terrible sense.

I sent this to Flex earlier, but nothing like disparate worlds colliding:
Look, you have to establish context for these things. And I maintain that unless you appreciate the Fall of Constantinople, the Great Fire of London, and Mickey Mantle's fatalist alcoholism, live Freddy makes no sense. If you want to half-ass it, fine, go call Simon Schama to do the appendix.

I officially like the Ramones a little less.

So yesterday revbob posted KISS playing with Celine Dion and today matedog posts Marky Ramone drumming for Mike Love on Rockaway Beach...what's this world coming too? Man, my heads about to explode!

It's early May, so I'm going with my summer avatar. :cool:

How much money would it take for Mike to endorse a Mike Love-brand douche?

Potential Hot Take Tuesday: Beach Boys 85 has aged worse than Still Cruisin' tracks. The keyboards on 85 are stifling and at least Still Cruisin' has a greater guitar emphasis.

I missed this earlier. He does resemble a younger Mike Love. It's interesting that Fred Durst has become less of a villain as years/relevance have gone by.

Speaking of, I read yesterday(?) that a LB show was canceled because of expected "chaos." I get that the band doesn't pull the plug on these things, but if you're seeking/struggling to maintain any kind of edgy cred, what a shiv to the gut of a reason to cancel.

Just read some articles. It is a weird way to word it. I guess it's probably a good thing to err on the side of safety given the Travis Scott thing and the girl dying at one of their shows back in 01.

Oh yeah, I agree. But when you're brand is rebelliousness and energy and blahblahblah, you're exposed. The Stones and Altamont exposed their bad boy posturing to be both phony and consequential.

You're not wrong. The production on 85 has aged very poorly, which is a shame because that album features some great Carl Wilson vocals. The Terry Melcher era that followed was a welcome return to actual instruments and while not close to groundbreaking, it's not hard to listen to. I've always felt they should have ditched tracks like Wouldn't It Be Nice from Still Cruisin' to include more of the contemporary tracks like Rock 'n' Roll to the Rescue or even their cover of California Dreamin' (which is actually not bad at all).
