iatee, Thursday, 29 July 2010 16:44 (fifteen years ago)

Do your balls hang low
Do it wobble to the flo'
Do it shine in the light
Is it platinum, Is it gold
Could you throw it over ya shoulda
If ya hot, it make ya cold
Do your balls hang low

Apropos of nothing, is "Larry Fitzmaurice" the dude's real name? Sounds like an early '80s electro DJ.

jaymc, Thursday, 29 July 2010 16:48 (fifteen years ago)

it's almost as delicious as "Harry Reasoner"

three weeks pass...

So I liked today's Arab Strap reissue review (x2):

http://pitchfork.com/reviews/albums/14566-the-week-never-starts-round-here-deluxe-edition-philophobia-deluxe-edition

But, as usual, the originals have been taken off the site.

-and-

http://web.archive.org/web/20010117063400/www.pitchforkmedia.com/record-reviews/a/arab-strap/philophobia.shtml

Looks like the first album got a ratings boost, while the second suffered a bit.

one month passes...

The Weezer fascination/obsession continues...

5-10-15-20: Titus Andronicus' Patrick Stickles

"Weezer were the rock on which me and all of my buddies built our church."

zzzzzzzzzz

Your single-minded focus on Weezer lately is bordering on the absurd.

a combination of absurd and zzzzzz

Your single-minded focus on Weezer lately is bordering on the absurd.

I assume that by "single-minded focus on Weezer," you mean that I posted in one other Weezer thread earlier this week?

Okay then!

this has pretty much been the last 20 years of indie rock... BETTER POST ABOUT IT

Dude, you were all over the Weezer threads last week.

Which would be fine, except for the part where you constantly have to remind us that you hate them.

Some of you already mentioned Coldplay, but surprisingly no one said anything about "Viva la Vida," unless you count Geir's "Every single Coldplay song" vote.

I can't think of many, if any, mainstream rock songs from the past decade that were as well produced as that one.

On Salem:

nah, just thought the Fader Fort thing was the most hilarious performance I've seen this year. I did buy their record though, 'cause I'm actually interested in their music. I do think Whiney saying that they're "famous" is funny though
