I judge all bands by their fans and that's why 100% of all bands are garbage

I am fine with this as a motto for life.

Haha as I get older that philosophy becomes more and more appealing

Agreed on Rattle and Hum being necessary. Not LEAST for inspiring the Most Legendarily Horrible Piece of Writing On Rock Ever:

I read this in fall quarter of freshman year at UCLA, having just moved to Los Angeles for the first time, and immediately learned to mistrust anything Hilburn claimed. This served me well.

That is a terrible terrible article, Ned. Thanks! I haven't laughed so much in ages. "Rattle and hum" was a HUGE event in the UK. I can remember a week or so before it came out, some DJ was doing a Radio One roadshow OB from somewhere and was interviewing a lorry driver. "So, what's in the lorry?" asked the DJ. "Thousands of copies of the new U2 album" the driver replied. The DJ and OB audience gave a small collective gasp, as if this driver was carrying the ark of the covenant. It was an EVENT.

Adorno is a hero to mos' but he never meant shit to me.

adorno what you're talking about...?

Pumpkins album after Mellon Collie, bit of a Fairweather Johnson though.

Wrong thread...

Ned, that was so clearly your cue to start writing the parody "Ava Adorno."

Ava Adorno
you'll always be my porno

No doubt I now grew very pale; — but I talked more fluently, and with a heightened voice. Yet the sound increased — and what could I do? It was a low, dull, quick sound — much such a sound as a pencil makes when enveloped in cassette spool. I gasped for breath — and yet the tumblr whites heard it not. I talked more quickly — more vehemently; — but the noise steadily increased. I arose, and argued about trifles, in a high key and with violent gesticulations; — but the noise steadily increased. Why would they not be gone? I paced the floor to and fro, with heavy strides, as if excited to fury by the observations of the men; — but the noise steadily increased. Oh God! what could I do? I foamed — I raved — I swore! I swung the chair upon which I had sat, and grated it upon the boards, like something I once heard on a Boredoms track, you assholes; — but the noise arose over all and continually increased. It grew louder — louder — louder! And still the men chatted pleasantly, and smiled. Was it possible they heard not? Almighty God! — no, no! They heard! — they suspected! — they knew! — they were making a mockery of my horror! — this I thought, and this I think. But anything better than this agony! Anything was more tolerable than this derision! I could bear those white-framed dimestore shades no longer! I felt that I must scream or die! — and now — again! — hark! louder! louder! louder! louder! —

“Villains!” I shrieked, “dissemble no more! I admit the deed! — tear up the planks! — here, here! — it is the beating of his hipster heart!”

CHICAGO—With campaign rhetoric becoming increasingly heated and both presidential nominees releasing more attack ads, a new 30-second spot from the Obama campaign this week accuses his opponent Mitt Romney of committing the 1996 murder of 6-year-old beauty pageant queen JonBenét Ramsey.

Titled “He Did It,” the advertisement asks if anyone can truly remember where Romney was the night of the child’s murder, and whether the U.S. populace wants a president capable of strangling a little girl and dumping her body in her parents’ basement.

That's going to be weird because I could see long time fans thinking of it as a new jersey but for alot of us kids it was the first time they'd heard them as is probably their biggest seller

Whoa, the Tea Party's "Kashmir" rips actually sound more like "Soul Asylum" (the "Kashmir" rip on Sonic Temple, not the band) than "Kashmir" itself.

― EveningStar (Sund4r), Saturday, August 11, 2012 6:48 AM (1 hour ago)

Coming straight to this thread from a politics thread, I went "Tea Party".... Kashmir riffs...? and was already constructing a world where this was about some link i didn't see to like, a Conservapedia project to create Tea Party friendly covers of classic rock tunes.

I get this low-boiling anxiety and helplessness when I learn that someone who I respect likes Frank Zappa; it's weird. It's this sense that what the person considers "music" is something totally different than what I do--that what they engage with when they listen to things that come out of speakers is just this totally different, alien thing. I find Zappa completely and utterly impenetrable and unrelatable--not musically, but emotionally/intellectually. I understand exactly what Cale meant when he said he doesn't think Zappa actually likes music. Zappa makes me feel empty inside.

Jack is so odd. The station here has a festival of tribute bands, and I was tempted to go for the weirdness. The lineup was perfect for their format:

Vitalogy
Guns 4 Roses
Back In Black
The Atomic Punks

Le Cure
The Police Experience
Mysterious Ways
Frontiers
MurMur
Strangelove
The Sheagles
Hysteria
