I've decided that the "Elephant" album by The White Stripes is not really a great album, after all...




it's a fucking MASTERPIECE!

Is it Girlfriend? You know that's Richard Lloyd from Television on guitar on that album? biggrin
fil:
Haha. I take it the show rocked your socks?

I just managed to get a hold of all their videos. On top of being musically genius, they also have some really great videos. Except for maybe "Hotel Yorba", they don't do anything vanilla flavored.

"It's nice to be liked
But it's better by far to get paid
I know that most of the friends that I have
Don't really see it that way
But if you could give 'em each one wish
How much do you wanna bet?
They'd wish for success for themselves and their friends
And that would include lots of money
It would surely include...

Summer os 1993 Repro's home life favored him moving in with me for the summer and all we did was listen to guyville and ska and eat fried chicken and run people over on AOHell. People were like "Hey, what's this internet thing. BLAM!!!! Ouch, someone just ripped me a new asshole, Mary!" 24 hour on-call weirdness, bands sleeping on the living room floor, and endless endless "I flew in to Chicago at night"

Awesome. To be Young and Stupid in a College Town in the Summer.

pogues and drunken poets go down well together. dylan thomas=quite fun...although i admittedly have issues with poetry...which unfortunately my drunken roommate was tapping on...such as how i can't stand sylvia plath and i wrote an essay in tenth grade on her stylistic flaws...uuuuuggghhhh. but try explaining this to a drunk overly cheery roommate while you yourself are a bit drunk and grouchily half swearing in russian at her...

I saw the Stripes in Berkeley the other day. Mr. White did a tribute to Johnny Cash. It was well received and a very good, stylized show.

No encore though. That kind of peeved me. They need to spruce up their shows ... or at least the ones they do in the Bay Area.

I went to karaoke night on Saturday at the Greek Theatre and ended up having a couple of revelatory moments. It started out uninspiringly with the rockabilly-lite schtick of the Rev. Horton Heat. Thankfully, their set only lasted about 25 minutes so they were off just as they started to get boring. Next came the Pogues-lite schtick of the Dropkick Murphys and their 16-year...

Umm.... I don't mind admitting that I like some mainstream movies... but of the 8 movies I mentioned, 5 would have no chance in hell of playing at a multiplex. I would say my taste in movies is much more indie and out-of-the-mainstream than my music taste. I guess it seems otherwise from this small snapshot of picks... shocked

HEAVEN

Everyone is trying to get to the bar.
The name of the bar, the bar is called Heaven.
The band in Heaven plays my favorite song.
They play it once again, they play it all night long.

Heaven is a place where nothing ever happens.
Heaven is a place where nothing ever happens.

There is a party, everyone is there.
Everyone will leave...

-did you ever read that short story by stephen king called "you know they've got a hell of a band"?

i don't know why, but for some reason that Byrne quote made me think of it.
honkeykong:
-you're right because the name of the town in the story was "rock and roll heaven"

freaky ass story, actually

BOREDOM
Well, I say what I mean
I say what comes to my mind
Because I never get around to things
I live in a straight, straight line

You know me, I'm acting dumb
You know the scene, it's very humdrum
Boredom
Boredom
Boredom

Well, I'm living in this movie
But it doesn't move me
I'm the man that's waiting for the phone to...

The following is an in-depth explanation of the word "souljacker" by Mark Oliver Everett (aka E) from Eels. Enjoy...

HELLO, IT'S E.
Maybe I should explain a few things about the origins of SOULJACKER. People keep asking me "what is a SOULJACKER?"
Originally the press coined the term "Soul Jacker" for an American serial killer in the 1990s that claimed to not only kill,...

Thanks for the comment on my musical tastes. I tend to think they are quite good as well. smile

I'm the youngest of four and by virtue of the fact that I was exposed to so many things at such a young age it made me very sensitive to avoid what I felt was crappy and redundant. It really takes an awful lot of originality and creativity for me to get in to a band.

I love your nickname, btw.

DO NOT GO GENTLE INTO THAT GOOD NIGHT
Do not go gentle into that good night,
Old age should burn and rave at close of day;
Rage, rage against the dying of the light.

Though wise men at their end know dark is right,
Because their words had forked no lightning they
Do not go gentle into that good night.

Good men, the last...

I just read your post about mormons, and believe me I am NOT defending them in any way, but my grandparents are devoted fully to the mormon church and I went to church with them and talked to the dudes on bikes with ties and short sleeve shirts, a lot when I was younger, and I honestly never heard them mention anything about a talking lizard...but maybe they left that out. I was just wondering where you heard it. Is it in the book of mormon? Also, I was reading old newspaper articles from new york, and a couple of them were talking about the theft of a book that a man had written, and left at a local printing house until he could afford to have it printed. One of the men suspected to be the theif was Joseph Smith, but he was nowhere to be found...he later emerged from the forest saying he had spoken to an angel. Also, Joseph Smith had been a well known swindler, he would travel around town with a "magic" rock under his hat, bury some money somewhere and tell people that his rock was blessed and that he could find treasures with it. The people would follow him and watch him unearth these riches and then he'd sell them the rock for a pretty penny. He did this over and oer and was even arrested for it.

CRACKED ACTOR
I've come on a few years from my Hollywood highs
The best of the last, the cleanest star they ever had
I'm stiff on my legend, the films that I made
Forget that i'm fifty cause you just got paid

Crack, baby, crack, show me you're real
Smack, baby, smack, is all that you feel
Suck, baby, suck, give me your head...
