RAMONES LISTENER = INTELLIGENTSIA....AND SHIT

― ddb (ddb), Thursday, 27 April 2006 19:18 (seventeen years ago) link

I was joking around and DID NOT MEAN TO INSULT ALLY BY ASSUMING SHE HAD NOT HEARD CERTAIN EARLY '80S RAMONES ELPEES.

XPOst: OTM: We got an Ramones interview in the vaults here at work in which Dee Dee boasts that the Ramones' audience is "Real smart. Some of them are like geniuses."

Misfits only had like two albums anyway, duder. (Three?)

― Tim Ellison (Tim Ellison), Thursday, 27 April 2006 19:24 (seventeen years ago) link

both bands' necessary discographies could be boiled down to two or three cds each.

― Washable School Paste (sexyDancer), Thursday, 27 April 2006 19:27 (seventeen years ago) link

I really don't think I could actually be insulted by anything you post! Don't worry too much!!!

Robert Christgau likes those two post-End of the Century albums, by the way. The Dean.

AMG review of Subterannean Jungle is interesting:

Tentatively returning toward punk, or at least new wave, the Ramones turned in their most enjoyable record since Rocket to Russia with Subterranean Jungle. Producers Ritchie Cordell and Glen Kolotkin were the heads of the edgy power pop and punk label Bomp!, so they steered the Ramones back toward the '60s pop infatuation that provided the foundation for their early records. It's a strategy that pays off well -- for the most part, the group's originals are so punchy and catchy that they make the pair of covers superfluous. Comprised of a set of unabashedly hook-laden songs and driven by more subtle rhythms, Subterranean Jungle may not be a punk record in the strictest sense of the word, yet the Ramones haven't sounded quite as alive in a long, long while.

Ritchie Cordell, Tommy James and the Shondells producer, was involved with Bomp Records? This may be an internet meme.

So he was involved with Bomp Records? (x-post)

I have this is my car. It is an air freshener. No, it does not smell like Ramones.

Note how any reference to Cordell/Kolotkin and Bomp Records together only occur in context of the Subterranean Jungle album! If, in fact, the assertion is untrue, one would assume that the AMG review is responsible for this! Will someone alert Ned?!?

― Tim Ellison (Tim Ellison), Thursday, 27 April 2006 20:01 (seventeen years ago) link

"only occur in context of discussions regarding the Subterranean Jungle album" I mean to say!

― Tim Ellison (Tim Ellison), Thursday, 27 April 2006 20:03 (seventeen years ago) link

Neil: It's good to put some distance. We're trying to deal with people perhaps a bit more picky...

What are you talking about?

Jennifer: Punk rock.

Neil: Anyone that hates punk rock. We came back from San Francisco before I went into rehab, I was working in this restaurant. I had that Ramones tape, Pleasant Dreams, and I played it for the bartenders who listened to Jimmy Buffet every day. It's a bizarre fuckin world and like they have never heard of them! It just blew my mind! I thought everybody's heard of the fuckin Ramones! They're like the Monkees or something! They were laughing at me: YOU'RE A FREAK!

misfits had like four or five albums

― city of gyros (chaki), Thursday, 27 April 2006 20:58 (seventeen years ago) link

most of em were comps

― Washable School Paste (sexyDancer), Thursday, 27 April 2006 21:04 (seventeen years ago) link

Two proper albums: Walk Among Us and Earth A.D./Wolf's Blood

― Tim Ellison (Tim Ellison), Thursday, 27 April 2006 21:09 (seventeen years ago) link

legacy of BRO-tality

― hstencil (hstencil), Thursday, 27 April 2006 21:10 (seventeen years ago) link

Static Age doesn't count as a proper album? i mean, it was released like 20 years after the fact. but still

― latebloomer (latebloomer), Thursday, 27 April 2006 21:12 (seventeen years ago) link

WALK AMONG US
EARTH AD.
STATIC AGE
EVILLIVE + 2 EPS AND COMP TRACKS

LEGACY OF BRUTALITY IS A COMP BUT ALOT OF THAT SHIT WAS PREVIOUSLY UNRELEASED AND STATIC AGE WASNT REALEASED TILL LOTS LATER BUT IT IS A PROPER ALBUM.

― city of gyros (chaki), Thursday, 27 April 2006 21:14 (seventeen years ago) link

I dunno. Was it intended as an album when they recorded it, but it just never got released? (x-post)

― Tim Ellison (Tim Ellison), Thursday, 27 April 2006 21:15 (seventeen years ago) link

WHATEVER DOOD ITS THE BEST ALBUM SDHIT UP

― city of gyros (chaki), Thursday, 27 April 2006 21:19 (seventeen years ago) link

x-post

it was meant as an LP, but it was shelved due to record company crap IIRC. most of the tracks eventually showed up on Legacy of Brotality and other singles and comps.

THE MISFITS ARE A SINGLES BAND.

― ddb (ddb), Thursday, 27 April 2006 21:31 (seventeen years ago) link

Does anyone like Pleasant Dreams/Subterranean Jungle era Ramones

pleasant dreams is grrrr-RATE! "c'mon now," "we want the airwaves," "the kkk took my baby away," "7-11," "she's a sensation," "you didn't mean anything to me," yeah it's good. prolly my favorite post-leave home album.

subterranean jungle much spottier with some dubious covers but "psychotherapy," "outsider," "my-my kind of girl" are good. and "highest trails above" = dee-dee at his most poetic (i.e. embarrassing but endearing).

better than misfits? DUH!

― gypsy mothra (gypsy mothra), Thursday, 27 April 2006 22:16 (seventeen years ago) link

First time I saw the Ramones was at the first 91X "X-Fest" in San Diego when I was 16. It was Tom Petty, Stray Cats, Ramones, Bow Wow Wow, Modern English, and the Flirts!

― Tim Ellison (Tim Ellison), Thursday, 27 April 2006 22:30 (seventeen years ago) link

No, I musta been 14 ... ('82, I think).

― Tim Ellison (Tim Ellison), Thursday, 27 April 2006 22:30 (seventeen years ago) link

i saw 'em in '84, when i was likewise 14. they were a great live band.

― gypsy mothra (gypsy mothra), Thursday, 27 April 2006 23:03 (seventeen years ago) link

I reviewed subterranean jungle for some likely now-defunct NYU paper, my ONLY published stab at muzik crixizism.

I avoided Misfits partly on "bodybuilders' music sux" premise.
