‘This Ain't A Love Song’? Too fucking right. You cunts couldn't write a love song. It's too serious for you.
what did bon jovi ever do to you?!

I was referring to Scouting For Girls. On a sidetrack - Bon Jovi's Greatest Hits was the only CD (apart from The Best Of Sting) that my local poolhall used to play so consequently in the 2 years where I pretty much did nothing else with my time I picked up a fascination, then fatigue, then finally detestation of The Jovi. A process that happened alot quicker with Sting i might add.

"20 Feet Tall" is such an inspiring song imo.
― fuck being hard, suburbs are complicated (The Reverend), Wednesday, 9 June 2010 14:08 (thirteen years ago) link
Anytime I have obstacles in front of me now, I got to be like "Rev, you are 20 feet tall. Step over that shit!"

You're 20 feet tall? O_O

"20 Ft Tall" and Damian Marley/Nas's "Strong Will Continue" are my big inspirational songs this year.
― Mordy, Wednesday, 9 June 2010 15:31 (thirteen years ago) link
i love "20 feet tall" but "jump up in the air" is my go-get-em inspirational-motivational erykah track of choice this year.
― لوووووووووووووووووووول (lex pretend), Wednesday, 9 June 2010 16:07 (thirteen years ago) link
haha me too. i made myself an inspiraysh mix and put jump up in the air on it.

I don't think the chappelle standup actually happened?? I seem to recall that it was dismissed as a rumor that got out of hand.

"gone baby, don't be long" is the one of this album, aside from "window seat"
― J0rdan S., Sunday, 22 August 2010 18:16 (thirteen years ago) link
also this album sounds perfect -- sunday morning!!
this album is nice to listen to (yeah jordan sunday morning seems like the perfect time) but it just feels so damn inconsequential to me; every song feels like an interlude. they're nice interludes, but i think i was wanting something more in the pt. 1 vein
― k3vin k., Sunday, 22 August 2010 18:20 (thirteen years ago) link
i think if you make something as epic as pt. 1, the best direction is to go in the one she went in
― J0rdan S., Sunday, 22 August 2010 18:22 (thirteen years ago) link
A very good album, and you named the two best songs (I'd include "Umm Hmm," which became essential summer listening)

it's really a beautiful thing
― J0rdan S., Sunday, 22 August 2010 18:29 (thirteen years ago) link
Yes. Really have started coming around on how this piece complements the first one.
Plus, I've been listening to it at least once a week, now, for what ... six months?

I do realize I've probably given "Gone Baby" a pass because I've waited years for someone to realize how Wings' "Arrow Through Me" was ripe for sampling.
― Gucci Mane hermeneuticist (Alfred, Lord Sotosyn), Sunday, 22 August 2010 18:33 (thirteen years ago) link
The groove is soooo deep.

― 2 + 2 is vah-gi-nah (Eric H.), Sunday, 22 August 2010 18:36 (thirteen years ago) link
I just tried something: dropping "Gone Baby" after Van Helden's "U Don't Know Me."
