I read his autobio about 10-15 years ago after inheriting a ton of LPs from my grandmother. I may still have it if you're interested.

Did Arrested Development even MAKE a second album? I honestly forget!
(They're generally recognized across the board as the worst Pazz and Jop winner ever, though I'd take them over Wilco myself. Maybe over *Time Out of Mind,* too. Though not over *Imperial Boredom,* oddly.)

Hasn't this been pretty much common knowledge for a couple months? I mean, I think I even saw it in Rolling Stone, and I wasn't even paying attention. Haven't even seen the album or anything. At any rate, I'm pretty sure they've completely denied the Devo rumor.

nteresting! Though maybe it would halfway make sense if the station started with Sonic Youth's cover of Alice's "Hallowed Be My Name" or "Black Juju" or "Halo of Flies" or whatever it was they covered on some late '80s bootleg or b-side or something (I have a vague memory of this). But anyway, I kind of don't understand the whole "one artist station" pandora concept to begin with, since it's physically impossible for me to turn on my pandora station without automatically thinking every time about ten more artists or songs I want to add, every single fucking time. How do people avoid that? And more importantly, why would they want to? Aren't stations more interesting if they cover all your tastes, not just a small fraction of them? (I was thinking maybe a "music to fall asleep to" station might have practical uses, but beyond that, I'm completely stumped.)

I responded to that on that thread right? It was Mudhoney's Touch Me I'm Sick.

what are you dudes talking about? they covered "Is It My Body" on the Alice Cooper tribute 7" along with a bunch of other bands, which was part of the singles club.

Vahid you're typically arguing yourself into a corner here ... I think the main influence of IDM on current sounds is the use of self-consciously non-musical sounds to substitute for traditional elements of a track ... have to put my hands up and admit that I've never owned an IDM record and could be talking out my ass here, but my friends used to subject me to it on occasion.

IM: I was at the restaurant and I had just ordered. I called on a pay phone, the studio was half a block away, and Thurston said to just come down. I ran down and went in and those guys were all there and we're talking-- my food was coming, so I had to go. They just said, "Oh we want you to play on something." I don't do that, but all those people were hanging out and saying it would be great. I'm just not a player like that; it would not occur to me to play a lick on something. I go in the room and-- who was doing the record?

TM: Butch, I think. Was it Butch?

(I thought Honor Role were Die Kreuzen influenced on their first 45 back in 1989 or whenever it was, but that was a million years ago, and I was probably wrong.)

Loose Joints. Matthew, you constantly amaze with the stuff you pull out of nowhere. Who outside of WLIR's mid-80s listening area heard that song to begin with?
Michael A. | Homepage | 07.14.06 - 11:47 pm | #

Well, it's on the first Disco Not Disco compilation, which is great. I used to always play it when I DJ'd circa 2000/2001, so it was kinda thrown in for old time's sake. Ditto "You Can't Hurry Love."

Orbit, judging from your pics, you're definitely not ugly, not even on general Western beauty standards. (And subjective standards are of course a different thing, I'd say you look pretty.)

if chuck eddy isn't high, then i don't know what to think.

― hstencil (hstencil), Sunday, 19 November 2006 17:13 (seventeen years ago) link

high on life?

I don't really know x-chuck but the vast majority of post-Bangs rock critics I have met are straightedge, maybe social drinkers at best.

go figure

chuck used to smoke a little. not anymore, i don't think. he likes beer. and bratwurst. i blame my kids. my brain is mush. and the, um, years of alcohol and drug abuse.

who cares if a band calls it an lp? if chuck eddy calls it an ep, it's an ep!

This discography is wrong, WOW2 is an album, I've put this comment in here before but someone has removed it, didn't they take any notice. This is mis-information, try one of the external links for a discography they are more acurate, especially on the release dates.

!!!: "Me and Giuliani Down by the Schoolyard (A True Story)," ... The 4:19 - 4:49 chunk
Yeah, I vaguely remember a few seconds in the middle that wasn't as much a chore to get through as the rest of it. Haven't heard this in a while, though -- I remember it totally pissing me off at the time for not having anything to do with the Paul Simon classic (my favorite song ever by him) that it takes its name from. Did it sound as much like bad Big Audio Dynamite as !!!'s other stuff (or their other early stuff, anyway, before I gave up on trying to like to like them)? Please refresh my memory.
