Re: The Mighty Musical Observations Thread
one of my truest yardsticks of maturing and growing into adulthood is realizing how much black sabbath rules.
Wiggle, wiggle, wiggle like a bowl of soup
Wiggle, wiggle, wiggle like a rolling hoop
Wiggle, wiggle, wiggle like a ton of lead
Wiggle - you can raise the dead
Pex Lives!

Still a vital, exciting recording with a salt of the earth, gritty profundity.

Glad to have you among the faithful. I was probably in 3rd grade when my older brother stole a cassette of Paranoid from Caldor in Nanuet, NY and brought it home. I was completely uninterested in music up to that point none of it interested me.
Paranoid was my first musical love, great song and an even greater album. I could do without Planet Caravan but the rest is as good as anything and better than most.
Found my other sock today too.
I figured Id spare y'all from seeing my blindingly white calves.

One of our best friends here, who teaches in the history department and is generally nerdy, told me that her first concert was Sabbath, back in '72 or so. I felt impossibly inadequate when she told me that.

Surely the more efficient band just doesn't listen to the bass player whatsoever.

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
Outside of Rush, no band has ever listened to its drummer. "No, you can't crash at my place." "No, we don't care that you've 'written a song.'" "No, she wasn't looking at you."

Danny Boyle's a good filmmaker, but I googled the names in the cast and that band shouldn't really be played by pretty boys.

I liked the guys they cast in the Urban Myths episode about the Grundy incident. Captured the character well, I thought.Silent Majority wrote: ↑11 Jan 2021, 11:54amDanny Boyle's a good filmmaker, but I googled the names in the cast and that band shouldn't really be played by pretty boys.
