Yesterday I was in B & Q buying some paint with my neighbour. I'm helping him paint the rear of his house as he hates heights. And guess what's playing only Paranoid yep and it was followed by Phil Collins In the Air Tonight. I was smiling thinking rev would blow a fuse in this store which is kind of handy.

I will also add as I was leaving I heard the beginning of Stairway to Heaven and it seemed the perfect way to leave.
Who the hell would follow up the masterpiece that is Paranoid with any phil collins drek?

That’s the one Phil Collins song that is supposed to be “good.”

And if you think that you're so very wrong. There is no good phil collins.

I like the gaps of silence between his songs. Two seconds of perfection, every one of ‘em.

I'm a kooky optimist who tries to find the good in even the awful.

I heard Billy Joel's Allentown at the store last night. It's been lodged in my head ever since. What a turgid piece of crap.

I prescribe you heavy doses of Slayer and Ministry as loud as you can take it.

I was in the liquor store and Roxanne was on. Fucking awful song.
I won't share you with another boy
. How the fuck old is Roxanne ? Because Im pretty sure Sting was old enough to not be competing with boys.

I once drove thru Pennsylvania, heading west, fairly early in the morning. I know I went by Allentown and my recollection is that I looked to my left and I saw a nuclear power plant. Maybe my memory is faulty—can one actually see the plants from the interstate?—but it was a jolt. I'd never actually seen those curved structures outside of photos. Fuck Billy Joel.

I can't stand it for Sting's braying "Rawwwwwwks-anne." However, the song was partially and inadvertently redeemed by its prominent use in Community's brilliant chaos theory episode. Whenever you get to the "Rawwwwwwks-anne" part, you get to have Jeff interrupt with "Nope!"

Yeah context still escapes me but the song still blows. I remember my brother bringing home some Police records. He'd previously had good taste in music but boy what a disappointment.

Hello,

I'm more favorable of the Police than most here. They brought a reggae-influence into pop music - a very good thing - more so they most other artists. I met Sting in 1979. He was a good guy and we had a good conversation. Based on reading a few interviews, he's become pretentious. Okay, I can deal with that. To deny the catch-i-ness of Message in a Bottle is a false mission. Listen to So Lonely and not sing along - I dare you. I understand I'm taking an unpopular stand with the regulars.

I think Doc is on record as a Police Enjoyer. I like 'em, although less so their later albums. I've always been meaning to do a police comp of some of what I think of as their more interesting stuff. There's at least a CDs worth of material I'd think would pass most punk's muster.
