Guh. I live in Texas, where things aren't much better*. I think I've developed a good plan to run for Governor, though. I'll just make a campaign ad wearing a cowboy hat and an American flag shirt and claim that I can shoot a deer in the face at 500 yards, and I can no-scope tax raises from any distance. Then I'll fold my arms and spit tobacco juice on the camera. It'll be a landslide!
*are far worse probably
I noticed this, too. WTF? A glaring omission to be sure.
Also, Achtung Baby? You're really going to stand there and tell me that Achtung Baby was a better album than the 124 albums you listed before it + Kid A? Let's exercise some achtung and not get carried away here, boys.
After repeated listens, I'm starting to change my mind. It's growing on me. I think the Fallon version of the song gave me a very specific expectation, and the album version threw me. Hell, maybe the official release will have something closer to the Fallon version. Either way, I'm in.
Moving away from Terrible Love for a moment, this record is hella good. I can't stop listening to it. Conversation 16 is beautiful.
Boo. It seriously sounds like they recorded this in somebody's basement and didn't do any mixing to it at all. Definitely leaves a bad taste in your mouth right off the bat.
That being said, Bloodbuzz Ohio and Afraid of Everyone have me interested enough to keep going.
Colbert did a bit on this the other night where he quipped, "Yeah, because old people are great with setting up the internet, hearing the phone ring, and checking their messages over their cell phones."
Spot on.
I minored in creative writing in college, and I can assure you that in even the lower-level classes, if someone had submitted this drivel to a round-table critique, he/she would have missed the next week of classes on account of the shame brought on by a savage and well deserved red-ink beating.
Then again, if that person was, say, James Franco, he would just laugh at us and go get it published anyway because he's James Franco goddamnit, and you can just go suck off a cigarette.
First they came for the Jews, and I said nothing because I was not a Jew.
Then they came for the Scientologists, and I said nothing because I was not a Scientologist.
Then they came for the Gingers, and I said some stuff because I was a Ginger, but it was all good because it wasn't an attack on me personally.
Then they came for me, and I said some more stuff, because I was me.
Boy this fell apart in a hurry.
This downvoter troll is like that asshole who runs out on the kickball field at recess and kicks the ball over the fence out into traffic, then runs away laughing. Analogygum.
I had a similar experience at my comic book store on my first visit. I was just getting into graphic novels and the clerk spent an hour showing me around and making suggestions. I'd never go anywhere else now.
