“No, no, no! I’m not going to carry you.”
And here’s one I stole from Marmaduke. I figure between these three captions, I’ve got a good shot at winning this thing now. (I’m assuming it’s okay that all of my entries are just straight-up plagiarized, right?)
“Pepperoni is a nice topping–it doesn’t fly south for winter.”
This one’s from Heathcliff.
“. . . And we each had a bottle of soda. Daddy brought his own in his pocket.”
Okay, admittedly all I did was search Google Images for Family Circus, then ripped off the caption of the first one that came up. Sadly, it’s still better than anything I could’ve come up with on my own.
Shit, I got so worked up that I used “their” when I meant to write “there.” I haven’t made that mistake in years. And so the streak comes to an end. Fuck you twofold, NME. You make a mockery of the ’90s, then you take away my one remaining bit of dignity.
DJ Shadow – “Midnight in a Perfect World”
Massive Attack – “Teardrop”
And why even bother having “Hyperballad” on their at all if it’s just going to be buried back at 69? “Hyperballad” and “Common People” should switch places.
What’s annoying about NME is not what they do like, so much as what they don’t like. Green Day’s on there? Fine, whatever. But no MBV, no Aphex Twin, no Neutral Milk Hotel? Some of my favorite music comes out of the UK, but along with it comes some of the worst music journalism.
That was supposed to be a reply to thelasttyler 1. Damn. I feel like half of my comments these days are just me trying to explain who I meant to reply to. Luckily I have no problem replying to myself, apparently.
I have to admit, I mainly upvoted this because of your avatar, which appears to be a Ninja Turtle on a meth binge, hastily drawn on Paint.
Finally bought that album a couple weeks ago, and “Vitamin C” was exactly what I thought of when I heard this beat. Decent tune though.
That was supposed to be a reply to Scott Otto. There’s nothing worse than having to explain one’s own unnecessary comment.
I acknowledge your post, as evidenced by this unnecessary reply of mine.
Well I’m gonna buy a copy, which means it will reach tungsten status.

Nice!
Whoops, I just ruined it with this comment. Quick, reply to this reply with another “LAST!” Then it will be true again. Or I could just not hit the submit button right now. . .
Also, with New Order there are just more songs to choose from, and so many of them are great. If I get tired of early-80′s New Order, I can just listen to their late-80′s stuff, and vice versa. With Joy Division, there’s just not as much of a selection. But I love Joy Division too.
I agree, New Order’s music is just more exciting to me than Joy Division’s. Although I feel weird even comparing them, since they sound different in so many ways.
Well MINE’s real. In real life, I look exactly like a floating blue ajax-loader in front of a white background (except I’m a bit taller than I look in my avatar).
I actually always assumed that was Scott’s real picture until I saw your comment. So I Google-imaged Phil Collins, and sure enough, up came a picture of “Scott.” No one is who they appear to be around here. . .
I think he meant to convey that although the 90′s were generally a disappointing decade for American music, there were still some great albums that came out, and those albums rate higher than Pavement’s.
I was about to argue that a lot of great electronic stuff came out in the 90′s, but then I realized that much of that stuff was not American (Bjork, Massive Attack, Aphex Twin, Boards of Canada, Autechre, Portishead. Shit, even great rock bands like My Bloody Valentine and Radiohead are from across the proverbial pond. I guess there really wasn’t a lot of great American music released then.).
Oh yeah? Well HERE is where someone responds to THAT with a quote from “Cherub Rock.” (I’m not sure which quote, it’s all pretty vague. But some of it could probably apply here. Maybe. Fuck it. At least the music sounds good.)
You seem to have made a mistake. The link you posted leads to the video for “Tik Tok,” which is actually a damn good song. Hell of a lot better than this song, anyway. Although this one’s alright.
About halfway through, I lost all sense of whether this list is real or a caricature. Knowing Rolling Stone, I’ll just assume that it’s real.
Mine’s the Beatles.
True. But at least you didn’t do that in an “OK Computer Turns 20″ thread. I was really asking for it by expressing my dislike of Pavement in their own celebratory thread. That’s like going to someone’s birthday party just to tell them you hate them, then eating half the cake and leaving without giving them a present.
I’ve upvoted this three times now. I’m not sure how that’s even allowed, but for some reason I am able to upvote it about once per day. And I shall continue to do so.
Dang, that one’s gonna be hard to top. But here’s an introductory caption from the first square of a Mary Worth comic:
“Drew drives home after breaking up with Liza.”
Applying it to the album cover here, I’d have to say that “Drew” is Amber, the bearded man is “Liza,” and Dave represents the car that’s being driven. Taken in that way, it makes perfect sense, doesn’t it? You’re right, it does.
