As a Jew, I'd prefer being stuck in a conversation at a party with a Holocaust denier over a Red Hot Chili Peppers fan (of any era) who wants to discuss their merits. I could probably at least attempt to see where the Holocaust denier was coming from.
I don't know, as amazing as it would have been to hear "We-e are the cha-am-pions," Cohen's a pretty good ack-ack-tor in his own right. Also, with Eric in the film, the scene with little people walking around with plates of cocaine on their heads would have just looked like average-sized people walking around with plates of cocaine on their heads. Bye for now.
It seems like it would be difficult to put together a music festival in 2015 where 88 (89?) out of 90 musicians were white. Somehow Pitchfork managed to do it.
This guy helped create quite possibly the worst musical sub-genre the world has ever known. Now, 20 years later, he doesn't want anything to do with the fans who still support his band? It's not his fans now are any less shitty than they were 20 years ago--they're just older and have more money to spend on little pieces of hell on earth like this cruise. If this guy had any self-respect he--I don't know--wouldn't play it, instead of taking a bunch of money for playing it and then whining like a baby about doing it once he'd had some time to think about the hilariously painful and awful situation he put himself in.
Would love to hear how these songs sound not ripped from the 7". The 7" sounds like garbage crammed onto a 45rpm 7", both here and on my stereo. The songs are a lot better than I thought they'd be, though, not jokey like The Shit or The Finger. Also, this isn't hardcore at all, just good, straight-forward Ryan Adams rock songs.
I really feel like his solo records from the beginning have been ON and OFF for me. The only ones I've liked have been S/T, Face the Truth and Mirror Traffic. Pig Lib almost turned me off SM for good. I absolutely hate it. Not into Wig Out, either.
OK, so the music sounds like Weezer from the few seconds posted...You know that as soon as Rivers lays down the vocals the song's going to be some bullshit bout being stuck in a fast food drive-thru where some girl you have a crush on works the window and you're going to want to put a gun to your head.
The portrayal of their relationship in the UK version of the book is downplayed as it is. I finished the book a couple weeks ago (and have since loaned it to someone), but, if anything, I remember the relationship as already being sanitized in the UK edition, amounting to little more than a couple guys eating dinner and laying around in the grass of a park together...hardly anything worth editing out for sensitive American readers who would already find themselves reading a FUCKING MORRISSEY AUTOBIOGRAPHY.
