on the misogynist rapper tip, i always loved Public Enemy, yet Eminem leaves me feeling stale and cold- chalk that one up to the backing tracks. acts like the Beastie Boys got better with age not just because they matured, but as they matured they seemed to care a hell of a lot more about their fanbase.

i thought the UNKLE album was disappointing mainly because of the songs- while i enjoy DJ Shadow, he is not UNKLE. it showed on this album. also, while i like a lot of Mo'Wax records, their scene seems too clique-ish, too hipper-than-thou, much like Nigo's Bathing Ape clothing line, which as an eternal Planet of the Apes fan, i love.

Don't hold back, Ally; tell us how you really feel.

I must say, I'm somewhat surprised to discover that someone else doesn't understand the fascination with the lead singer. I mean, she has a decent voice but she is rather emphatically NOT all that. Most people I know who talk about them talk about her as being the best part of the band. YIKES. Musically, I find them infinitely more intersting. when they're doing bluegrass stuff. I saw a "Behind The Music"-style program on them and their rise to fame and the old clips where they were a four-piece that wore unabashedly tacky Grand Ole Opry-style spanglewear and did ferocious bluegrass were easily the most enjoyable parts of the program.

Had they broken into the mainstream with their bluegrass stuff, they'd be a classic. As it stands, I sometimes have problems telling them apart from The Corrs. DUD.

I would heartily recommend a Scottish novelist called Alan Warner. 'Morvern Caller', 'These Demented Lands' and 'The Sopranos' are all works of peerless genius. Especially 'The Sopranos'. His thick Scottish dialect can be a little tricksy at first, but stay with it and you'll be richly rewarded.

Yes they are crazy, also being a national government then can organize things without hindrance in their own country.

Ozman Bin Laden - has stated in the past that he would attack America for revenge.

nabisco wrote this on thread Whats in yr fridge ? on board I Love Everything on Jul 25, 2002
Hahaha that was funny when Ellie said "man."

I would answer the question, but I've stopped using the fridge due to proliferation of roommate's rotting items, most of which were foul even before they began rotting. There could be stacks of cash in there, the smell still wouldn't be worth opening the door. By way of explanation, the roommate has been doing nothing all summer apart from lying around with no shirt on, sweating on my previously- white couch; his primary entertainment has been finding new markets at which to buy food, then making the food, eating three bites, and putting the remainder, uncovered, in what I'll very charitably still describe as a fridge. I would desperately like to do something about this, but unlike the roommate I actually work during the day and often see friends at night, meaning I have neither the time nor the energy to bother about it. My only recourse is bitching, which I don't enjoy doing -- so I don't. It was nice knowing you, fridge. Remember when we had the mashed-up tropical fruit to cook the salmon in? Yeah, yeah, good times.

Marcello Carlin wrote this on thread The UK Top 40 - 26/10/03 on board I Love Music on 27-Oct-2003

Album charts: Dido (imminently to be done on Naked Maja) still at #1, Strokes in at #2 same as last time. Two new entries for Rod the Sod; Songs By Old People Vol 2 in at #4, early Rod/Faces Changing Faces 2CD comp in at #13. Other greatest hits compilations entering: Texas (5), Erasure (15), Suede (31). Kish Kash enters at #17. Jamie Cullum, who'll probably end up outselling every one of these albums, in at #22. Lower down: Myleene Klass (32), Joe Strummer (50) and Amy Winehouse (60).

On checking Frank has just gone over the 600,000 mark and Twentysomething has sold about 650,000 so astonishingly my prediction is still accurate though probably only in terms of UK sales and probably not for much longer.

I saw it last night. Don't know the comic, but I loved the film. Peters out in a weird way towards the end (and I don't even understand what was happening in the final scene with Steve Buscemi) but yeah - really great character drama. Thora Birch and Scarlett Johansson are err... very attractive. The convenience store scenes reminded me of Richard Linklater and Kevin Smith, but in like, a good way. Oi give it foive.

Oh Please.

I've always been kind of on the fence about the Replacements. There are a couple of nice moments in their early songs, but I have always suspected the fawning praise from the indie-boy critics had more to do with their beery self-mythology than the music.

Saying that people who don't like them "don't get it" sounds a little too uncomfortably close to the rantings of an 11 year old angry at some critic for dissing Justin Timberlake. And the 11 year old has more of an excuse.
