The curmudgeon strikes again:
I'm not sure how to post the whole thread, but he goes off for a bit.

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.

Re: The Mighty Musical Observations Thread
Extremely funny thread. Has anyone ever seen Steve Albini and revbob in the same room together?

Honestly, the thread made me put Aja back on. It's alright.

Albini is what Lydon imagines himself to be. MacKaye might be punk's moral conscience, but Albini is its righteous spleen.

Re: The Mighty Musical Observations Thread
An observation: "King of Pain" by The Police is still a decent song, but those lyrics are dorm-room philosophy cringe. One of many reasons to want to punch Sting in the nose.

Re: The Mighty Musical Observations Thread
Really, any “I’m a serious thinker” lyrics by Sting. The “oh, fuck off” factor keeps me from fully enjoying The Police.WestwayKid wrote: ↑07 Feb 2023, 10:58amSame with "Wrapped Around Your Finger"Dr. Medulla wrote: ↑07 Feb 2023, 10:26amAn observation: "King of Pain" by The Police is still a decent song, but those lyrics are dorm-room philosophy cringe.

There's a tiny, tiny hopeful part of me that says you guys are running a Kaufmanesque long con on the board

Re: The Mighty Musical Observations Thread
I still quite like that album in its entirety—I’m one of, like, nine people who genuinely love the spluttering nonsense of “Mother”—but Sting’s Stingness (like Morrissey’s Morrisseyness) is something I have to filter out.Heston wrote: ↑07 Feb 2023, 11:26amSynchronicity II is the best song of that era, my favourite Police song.Dr. Medulla wrote: ↑07 Feb 2023, 10:26amAn observation: "King of Pain" by The Police is still a decent song, but those lyrics are dorm-room philosophy cringe.
