Who’s behind the wheel? 🥳

😬

Man, when you think about it, I just have no clue how I’m going to handle things once I get home... But hey, maybe I’ll just wing it. 🙂

Kurt Cobain said:I prefer the one from Greatest Hits. I think it’s the eighth or ninth track.

See, I can't stand "Arpeggiator." It’s the only Fugazi track I truly dislike—and I mean loathe... That combination of fanfares and "God Save the Queen"? Why?!😕

Personally, I've always viewed almost everything by Television as essentially instrumentals, and some of them are easily among the greatest in rock history (take "The Fire" and "The Dream's dream," for instance).👍

My top two: "hero Pavlov street" and "through desert and jungle". 😍

anch_io said:top 5 authors whose books I can always (re)read:
Salinger
Carver
Kerouac
Coupland
Kurt Vonnegut Jr.

Coupland isn't really my cup of tea, but I wholeheartedly agree with the rest. To be honest, I haven't managed to get past "on road" with Kerouac yet, and even Vonnegut I whisper ("Galapagos", "mechanical piano", and a few short stories)—I'm hoping the New York Public Library has a better selection...

Well, I'll swap one Douglas from your list for another—Adams, obviously. But since I don't want to be just another person obsessed with the "guide", I'll mention that I stumbled upon two of his shorter novels in a Monolith edition; they have nothing to do with the "guide", but they're just as brilliant.

Thanks.

Alex Scott22 said:Yeah... anyone here actually worship or hate The Birthday Party?
The reason I ask is because that whole era is... well, let's just say it's largely been forgotten...

The Birthday Party is a religion. If you haven't heard their live cover of "Fun House" featuring Foetus on the sax, you haven't lived. It’s one of those rare live performances where the crowd stays dead silent afterward. Not a single clap. Just pure silence. Incredible...🙏

1. Your Funeral my trial 2. watching Alica i

2. watching Alica

Solid selection. 🙂

Mmmm... watching Alica... Pure beauty.

"The Mercy Seat," maybe "Wild World," or even "The Hammer Song." Then there's "Junkyard," "Zoo-Music Girl," or those angry tracks... even "Happy Birthday." Honestly, it's impossible to pick a single favorite from an artist who recorded such a massive, diverse body of work. 🙄

True, but they were singing in Spanish, and as far as I can tell, they were Mexican immigrants (maybe Puerto Rican? at least originally Mexican).

Jeah, Molotov! :klap:

The Raw!

That’s Paffendorf. Try to pay attention... 😎 😁

boldeagle3 said:It surprises me that nobody opened a thread about this whole mess sooner... 😁

There are a few pages dedicated to Lollapalooza over on the TBMvsS thread. I tried moving the posts over here, but it’s just not working—TBMvsS is so sluggish it’s impossible to pull any posts away from him... 😁

Jason Chavez32 said:Hey, Pafendorfar—where'd you disappear to? 🙂

Dammit, how did I forget about Pafendorfar... 😵

The anthem of the year!

My top picks:

3. Scooter - How Much Is the Fish?

2. DJ One Finger - House Fucker

1. Jan Wayne - Because the Night

🙏 🙏 🙏

Melissa Collins41 said:Someone blasted "against me ali" in my ears last night! It’s going straight onto my driving playlist for the trip to Phoenix.

I actually digitized Lalić (© Orange), so if anyone is hunting for their stuff—live sets, EPs, whatever—just let me know. 🙂

It’s possible, and it’s doable.

And honestly, Biloš isn't fat—he's just magnificent. 🙂

idioteque said:Now I’m sitting here listening to this melancholy stuff, feeling depressed just because I'm currently single or whatever... 😬

Don't sweat it. According to my reliable sources, the economy hasn't completely tanked just yet. 😎

So, you really think Cog can't pull a show in Washington, D.C.? In their ten years of existence, they've already made it halfway there. Give them another fifteen, and you'll be watching them headlining at the NYSE. 😬

Cog is honestly two hundred billion times better... that whole festival vibe just didn't suit them at all. If you ever get the chance to catch them in a club setting, don't pass it up.

And we can't forget my dear friend unknown, who responded to the announcement that the performance of "unknown" by the unknown was "not an anthem!" by lighting a flare right in the front row. 🙏 🙏 🙏
