i always had a sneaking suspicion godsdog was Amanda Palmer.
"Jizzly Bear." --D. Till.
y porque no Summer Clothes?
i read Kafka's The Trial just because it was on the cover of If You're Feeling Sinister. that's how good that album is.
finally Bon Iver at the top of a list where he belongs.
when i was a kid in the 90s and the radio DJ would keep playing the irrelevant Queenryche even though all anyone wanted to hear the Smashing Pumpkins. i remember thinking, man, i just wish Queensryche would throw in the towel.
Does California Stars count as a Wilco song?
i wonder what Joe McCoy's will said regarding the lyrics to When the Levee Breaks.
i wonder what John Bonham's will said about the drumbeat of When the Levee Breaks.
GORKY'S! a bad so obscure that most Welshmen don't even know them.
deeeeeeeeeaaammmmmmmmmmmmn, it's like Freshie has seen me driving while listing to my Blur mixtape.
but LMFAO is good.
all of them. except Leisure.
seriously, though. the royals do suck.
i think Ryan Adams and David Rawlins settled this already.
this article just kills it in so many ways; propers, Tom. you not only captured the album, but what it was like to be an indie music fan in the early 90s--scouring BMG...using PBS. recently my wife was asking me about how i knew so much about music as a kid and i struggled to explain how much work it was back then. you had to buy magazines. you had to be in record clubs. even then, there was no guarantee that you could get an album if you didn't live in certain markets. now you can download a song or stream it with a click of the mouse. part of me wonders if that makes music more disposable now than back in the day. once i finally got Dirty, you couldn't pry that album from my hands not just because it was so good but also the effort it took me just to get it.
this album is my music ground zero. 100%, Sugar Kane, and Wish Fulfillment seem to be the apex of SY's ability to combine noise and pop.
nailed it. "Heat of the moment Heat of the moment Heat of the moment showed in your RUNAWAYYYYYYYYYYYYYY"
any doubts about who the alpha dog is in the group should now be over since Auerbach is the named party.
the cover art is hands down the best.
City Soleil. in other news i heard they are going to make a movie about the making of Walk the Line and Dulli is going to play Joaquin Phoenix playing Johnny Cash.
"Some men here /They have a special interest /In your career /They wanna help you to grow And then syphon all your dough" Morrissey
Barcelona, Chris? now i have to go and throw away all my Girls albums.
it's good to see E. Van Halen and D. Lee Roth's camel toe on stage together again.
michael, i was about to throw my computer across the room because i was certain that you wouldn't rank The Good, the Bad & the Queen number 1. Green Fields may be Albarn's most harrowing song--more than the Universal or Out of Time.
don't worry, Blake. by the end of the week KD will be free to attend whatever rap show he wants.
i've been Celebrate Rockin' all through the night.
CSS's Make Love and Listen to Death From Above charted while there are zero Death From Above 1979 songs?
i think i am going to have to side with the guy who did time in Rikers for criminal possession of guns and drugs. in any case, how many times did Pusha say "nigga?" running the risk of sounding old and white--that's gotta end. not just because it is offense but also because it shows some lack of creativity.
for what it's worth, Antony was left completely out of the transgender artists in music convo in the Against Me! thread a couple of weeks ago.
i tried circa 08 in Dallas, TX. but i fell asleep during their mic check.
up from last year's ranking of catorce.
FJM should be on this list, but i would have to disagree with FJM not being buzzworthy. 1. his performance on Letterman has been the best late night performance this year; 2. and he left a terrible band (Fleet Foxes) to make good music.
where's I Wanna Be Adored? can't imagine a song being more important to 90s britpop than that. was NME not counting 1990 because that year is technically the tenth year of the 80s?
is this Tyson Chandler you speak of single? hubba, hubba.
britpop conundrum of the 90s had to be whether Kate Radley would go with Pierce or Ashcroft.
