"Love Shack"'s great and all but obv is way overplayed. "Roam" for the riff alone

xpost i mean, it's doofy and obnoxious, but as far as doofy and obnoxious songs go, it's pretty good.

Doogie was ten years ahead of the vinyl fetishists. Cool dude.

Love Shack is pretty great, though I liked Roam more even back in 1990....

it was the 80s. lots of people still had turntables.yeah, but doogie was kind of ahead of his time, wasn't he? Seems like he'd at least have a discman or something. what else did the doog have in his record collection do you think?

that "glove slap" song from the Simpsons (to the tune of Love Shack) is funny.

Roam is allright but it doesn't feature Fred, who is hands-down the best feature of any B-52s song
― Whats with all the littering? (Shakey Mo Collier), Wednesday, 24 March 2010 22:02 (3 years ago) Permalink
The best feature: the girls' harmonies. The second best: the guitars (Ricky's or Keith's).

nothing wrong with LS, but to my mind it is the fourth best single from this album (tho all four are admittedly brilliant). <3<3<3 the guitar solo in it.
I need to listen to the other album trax some more. it's been too long & I'm really liking the sound of "topaz."

nothing since 2006, Roam is preferred from then on TELLINGLY
that's as may be, but tv's doogie howser listened to college radio & played vinyl, it was very much a character decision. tv's doogie howser could listen on anything he liked & he listened on vinyl TELLINGLY

still love Love Shack but yeah probably a bit overplayed to talk much about. Channel Z seems like such a weird choice for a 1st single given the monster hits that would come next (admittedly I've always hated that song)

GET A LOAD OF: Kate Pierson absolutely is just 100% singing her fucking balls off on that second verse!

saul wright, roger, here is a great kate song, from the (admittedly weaker) follow-up, Good Stuff: Revolution Earth
(could only find the live version sorry foax)
― failboat fucking captain (Drugs A. Money), Wednesday, 24 March 2010 22:47 (3 years ago) Permalink
Good Stuff is totally Cosmic Thing Pt. II, down to the producers and mix. Songwriting isn't as good, but still worth owning -- and you can pick up a used copy easily.

there's something about this video...it's nothing spectacular but it captures that vibe that's been kind of pointed out...the whole end-of-the-New-Wave thing, as well as the whole smiling-through-the-tears thing...it's really great
― failboat fucking captain (Drugs A. Money), Thursday, 25 March 2010 15:00 (3 years ago) Permalink
as a kid i loved the Cosmic Thing singles but Good Stuff was the first one they put out after I started buying CDs, so for years that was the only B-52s album I had. haven't put it on in a long while but I'd probably still like it.

I remember thinking that "Tell It Like It T-I-S" was such a profound shark jump that I almost completely disowned their entire back catalog. I'm glad I didn't, as that would have been really silly, but still: not a fan of that song/era.

Good Stuff is totally Cosmic Thing Pt. II
MINUS Cindy Wilson, though, which makes as big a difference as Ricky Wilson not being there.

"Is That You Mo-Dean?" is pretty good.

meanwhile, I'm listening to "Love Shack" right now, and as far as overplayed songs go, this is about the cream of the crop...
