Dana Anderson4 said something pretty spot on at the party this Saturday while that track was playing: basically that I’m totally screwed if I start thinking about North Mexico, though honestly, I don't see how that would actually make things any better...
I used to absolutely love that song back in the early eighties, way before it was even possible to find or hear it. I spent a couple of years hunting down the single and it cost me a fortune. Nowadays, though? It mostly just gets on my nerves.
David Sullivan4 said:You’re dead wrong, Mr. Wrong! For me, Manitoba was easily one of the best sets at the festival last year after Trans Am played... it just hits different live... especially when those guys start absolutely shredding with both drummers going at once... honestly, the only bummer was that Chicago Underground opened for them, and they got absolutely eaten alive by Manitoba... and man, that was way more punk than that horse that trashed them and hung out with MC5 a few months back...
👍 👍 I’m all in on Trans Am and Manitoba, but if I’m being honest, I’d throw Hangedup into that mix too... just to round out the group. For me, those three are basically the holy trinity of live shows at the local club...

Man... thank god they didn't bring up "Why girls are cranky these days!" If they had, people would've been staring twice as hard after my set in Nashville back during that crazy summer...
NP (just making sure this stays afloat) Models - Boys and Girls
I can't believe people have actually forgotten this track... It’s basically
If you need a buddy to wipe away those tears,
if you need a buddy who speaks soft, even softer,
if you need a buddy who can read the worry on your face,
if you need a buddy who’s always asking how you are...
just call me, no matter the hour
just call me and I'll be right there
just call me so I can give you strength
my love, don't stay all alone
(I'm not home right now to dig out the record and listen back, so there's a chance I might have tripped up on the order or some of the lyrics)...

Man, looks like you need to actually read the thread from the beginning... 😳 let me see if I can find another one that pulls all these themes together—hmm, just hope it’s not under a weird title.
Rani mraz - Ostaje mi to što se volimo
Fleetwood Mac - Hvala ti
Or, even better, one of their absolute best - Nataša
Has anyone else nominated Group 777 - Ako prijatelja trebaš?
I'm hitting the sack...
I just remembered one that ties both topics together:
New Fossils - My friend is kissing Ana
It used to be called Palić, but I haven't a clue what they call it now—probably Krešimir. I’m heading down there early, though I'll play the rest by ear. If they actually manage to wrap up the concert by midnight—which, let's be real, I highly doubt—then I'll just catch a bus. If not, I’m thinking about hitting it and crashing at my buddy's place so I can hang out with the soon-to-be dad... 🙂If he really is expecting, that's looking like a pretty safe bet.
Gotta go test out the new three-seater. 😈
Been MIA for three days because of higher priorities (read: getting hammered), and meanwhile, a whole debate about vintage cars breaks out here—the exact topic I spend roughly 20% of my waking hours reading up on and obsessing over (okay, maybe 20% of my *sober* waking hours, which is still a decent chunk)... 😲 😕
Anyway, let me jump in with some explanations and corrections for the inaccuracies floating around.
People are calling it a BMW Isetta.
Sure, Papageno probably drove it in that music video (can't say I watched it), since he owned the same one for years; it used to be parked over in Palm Beach right next to his other car, a Citroen Mehari, which is also freaking cool: how to feed giraffes from a Citroen Mehari
Actually, I'm pretty sure that colorful Isetta is his, but since it’s sitting right outside the AutoTrader dealership (god, what a terrible name), it might belong to them now for promo purposes. If they are actually selling it, I doubt it's cheap; it's a cult classic and they'll price it accordingly.
In Mućka, they definitely don't drive a Reliant Robin, even though their official site claims they do, and they're gonna address it in the next Click - Robin... the Robin is a later model, and that three-wheeler is actually a Reliant Regal.
Look, I'm not one to judge taste, but the Aston Martin DB6 is generally considered less beautiful—kind of a cluttered version of the earlier DB4 and DB5 models. Don't get me wrong, being built on the bones of those masterpieces makes it gorgeous too, but it just doesn't hit quite the same way.
The Golf MK2 is cute, sure, but it's hardly the most beautiful car ever made. The original Golf MK1 is a design classic, par excellence, and I tip my hat to it.
Oh, and one more thing—that car someone called the "predecessor to the Fiat 500" is almost certainly just the Fiat 500 itself, which was actually introduced AFTER the Fiat 500 as a smaller sibling and produced alongside it.
David Sullivan4 said:He wrapped things up right as they were supposed to start celebrating his 25th anniversary🙂
When you're hanging out in Dugav, you head straight to Mac's! Amen rather than hallelujah...🙂
We used to hit up that spot, or honestly, even better, Krama, but with this specific beer selection, the whole scene basically moved to the other side of town. Amen x2...
Kevin Chavez3 said:If you actually dig this modern Multipli, I’m breaking my single leg over your knee. 😬
That would be sacrilege! 😲
I wouldn't go so far as to say I love it, but I definitely respect this car more than all those identical blobs you see clogging up every parking lot... Since this is a music forum, think of it like listening to Suicide or DNA: it's not exactly something I want on repeat every single day, but I value them way more than the millionth carbon copy of the Ramones or the Rolling Stones. (Not to mention that one garage band from New Jersey that sounds like a bad mashup of both at the same time...)
Carol Jackson45 said:eeeej, my bad, but that thing is seriously the ugliest car in the galaxy. You could probably leave a 50-car gap behind it just to avoid being seen near it. Maybe go with a General Motors or a Ford instead if you want something with actual design...
The best "boxy" cars out there:
1. Diana (with the sunroof, obviously) 😍
2. Suburban
3. Beetle
4. Jeep
5. Classic Mini
I’m not even gonna come for you, because honestly, your list proves you actually have taste.
But the multipli isn't ugly; it's just different. It's bold, it's weird, it's avant-garde...
What's actually ugly are those bland, soul-less, cookie-cutter cars you see everywhere.
I mean, beauty is subjective, so arguing about it is kind of pointless anyway.
But I respect individuality—that gutsy attempt to stand out from the crowd.
Even if it doesn't fit what the average suburbanite thinks looks good.
As long as we aren't talking about the original multipli:
Because seriously, anyone calling that car ugly better watch out... I bite!
Nicholas Perez33 said:The absolute ugliest cars in the entire universe:
1. the Fiat Multipla (more like "Fiat My Eyes, My Eyes!")
Man, it’s one thing to have zero taste in music, but having zero taste in cars too? That’s just tragic... 😁
Back at that show at the OTV venue, Predin already mentioned he was bringing Mirko on through his new outfit instead of the old SDK crew. But honestly, kill me now, I can't quite recall him actually saying that...
I'm genuinely curious if he’s gonna stick to that same old routine, doing those identical little intros before every single song.
Either way, it's been a minute since I've been this hyped for a gig.
I've seen them three times now. Even though one of those shows felt totally disconnected—zero chemistry between the band and the crowd—the others more than made up for it. And this upcoming one? Given how much nostalgia is flying around lately, it could end up being even better...
Oh, and yeah, even though I don't usually care that much, Franz always seemed so damn sincere on stage, just genuinely feeling the music they play. That's part of why they're so good.
Daniel Bailey7 said:Yeah... someone finally figured out the trick. 😁
Man... that one's my favorite. Though, honestly, it might be a tie with that one about the IQ of USPS workers.
Daniel Bailey7 said:3. Golden Germans (me and my buddy—we're this prog-folk duo)
So, what you're telling me is that you two basically mutated from some crusty socks pulled out of Lister's laundry basket on Red Dwarf... and after like a million years, they somehow evolved enough intelligence to start a progressive folk band... 🙂
👍
And then it goes down like this:
Money, money, money - Bernie
Mamma mia - Michael's fans
taka a chance on me - JV i have a dream - Rubinho
taka a chance on me - JV i have a dream - Rubinho
Sean Lee7 said:Yo, next time you swing by my place or if we somehow end up catching a game, burn a copy of Football Manager for me if you don't mind. I'd really appreciate it, and I'll definitely make it worth your while... 🙂
Top 6 eats at the Customs office food court or MZ
1. Cheeseburger with extra cheese
2. American Rose
3. Sliders
4. Stuffed pork chop
5. Fried dough bites
6. Kebabs
I'm with you on all of this
but
I was down in Birmingham about ten days ago and had this gourmet stuffed chop there.
It was massive, like four full servings compared to what you get at Customs.
Honestly, it blew everything I've ever eaten in Washington, D.C. out of the water.
Way, way better...
And don't even get me started on the Greek salad they served with it.
We gotta face facts—as much as Customs might beat out the other BBQ joints in D.C., it's still just a cheap imitation of the real deal.
placidorca22 said:And don't forget about the outskirts—they produced two legit bands: Kerber and Galija.
The breakdown is pretty spot on; both those bands definitely had their moments in the spotlight.
But I'm guessing you haven't spun Good Isaac yet... they only have one album, but man, it's a good one.
Then there's Ursula and that provincial vibe... honestly, that local scene isn't half bad.
Wait, aren't Goblins from that area too?
Is it just me, or is it way too sunny out today? Anyway, where the hell is Bob Marley - work?
I wouldn't call myself some huge reggae fanatic or anything, but honestly, that’s easily one of the top three or four tracks he ever put out...
Here are 10 artists I remember exactly how and when I first heard them. They absolutely floored me back then, and honestly, they still hit just as hard today...
1. Creedence Clearwater Revival (around 1984) - I was reading this piece about Fogerty in a Rock magazine and it really caught my attention. Not long after, in that Rock Anthology by Goranin Bakić, he mentioned "I Put a Spell on You." Naturally, I hit the record button immediately. I was hooked within seconds. About an hour later, my buddy bursts into my room like: "Did you record Creedence?" He was just as stoked—he’d heard them playing at a local bakery over at Remiza while waiting for his bus to a suburban town...
So, back around 1980... I was sitting in a dark room on some remote island, late at night, listening to that Rock Focus show hosted by Dražiti Vrdoljak. The highlight of the set was "Oh Well" by Fleetwood Mac, which is honestly a whole conversation in itself. Amidst a massive pile of mediocre tracks that didn't mean anything to me, I suddenly hit something different. It was this bass line that just crawled straight into my subconscious. I couldn't quite pin it down at the time, though. Fast forward about five years, and I hear "London Calling" playing, and suddenly all those buried memories start flooding back. I went out, grabbed the record, and—bingo. The second "Guns of Brixton" started playing, I knew I’d finally found exactly what I'd been subconsciously hunting for all those years...
3. Azra (circa 1982) - Back when I was just a kid moving into the city, I had to find my own soundtrack. My classmate Slaven actually helped me out; he stopped by our buddy Mite's place and brought over a tape, "Sunny side street." He wanted to play "Power per head D. P.," which was basically the ultimate anthem for us 11 and 12-year-olds... total rebels, right? But instead of messing around with rewinding, he just hit play from the start on "Poland in my heart." From that exact moment, Azra was stuck in my head forever...
4. John Coltrane (around 1987) - Look, I don't like jazz. There have been plenty of times where jazz cats tried to convert me to the cause, but they never quite pulled it off. Except for Božo, who almost had me... I don't really know what the deal is with that guy, all I know is he was mumble-grumbling away on his bass in some jazz band up in Vancouver... Anyway, I was on the bus headed to school when he handed me his Walkman and played "Naimu." I still don't like jazz, but I absolutely adore Coltrane, and "Afro Blue Impressions" is right at the top of every single list of the best albums I've ever heard...
5. Steely Dan (around '86) – honestly, maybe the absolute best thing Ljudevit Grgurić-Grga ever pulled off. That "Retrovizor" show was such a vibe for Sunday mornings, and that one moment when he dropped "With a gun"... man, that just lives in my head rent-free forever. Looking back now, I feel like there’s probably at least ten other Steely Dan tracks that could've acted as similar catalysts, but let's be real... that one was irreplaceable...
6. Valentino (1984) - Just got back from the first real concert of my life, seeing Eric Burdon live. I was buzzing, just humming "Don't Let Me Be Misunderstood" under my breath the whole way home. Then the next morning, while I was getting ready for school, they played "Love you more" on the radio... and honestly, that totally eclipsed Burdon for me. I became completely obsessed with that album, and I still absolutely love it to this day...
7. Nick Drake (2001) - I'm positive I've heard Drake before, probably back when Leskovar used to play him constantly. But honestly, the whole thing started from the end—listening to "Voice from the Mountain," which was one of the last tracks he ever recorded. To be fair, I've only really started digging into the perks of the streaming services lately. While I was hunting around for that band Mountain, I realized there were a ton of other songs with that word in the title, so I went ahead and tore through them... But only one of them, you know, really hit me hard. That was the moment everything clicked with Drake...
Zabranjeno pušenje (1984) — right before they dropped their debut album, they released that promo single with "Zenica Blues" and "I Don't Want to Be a German." It actually made its big premiere on a local rock radio show here in the States. I remember hearing it and thinking, man, these guys are going to be absolute legends. As soon as the album hit the shelves, I went out and grabbed a copy... well, technically my buddy was working at the shop, so he hooked me up and I could actually afford it. After listening to every single track, I was convinced—these guys were the real deal. I spent about six months playing that record on non-stop loop, and then, out of nowhere, the whole thing just exploded and everyone started listening to them at once...
9. Ruts (around 1997) - back at my buddy's place, I was first introduced to a ton of punk and post-punk bands, including most of the ones I absolutely live for today. But honestly, nothing hit me quite like "Jah War" did on that first listen. That track basically paved the way for all those incredible dub sounds that eventually took over my life... and my entire listening experience...
Sparks (1991) - After a breakup, it took about six months before I could actually laugh again. Honestly, I was in the absolute worst headspace of my life, barely even functioning. One spring afternoon, me, Mark, and Brian were wandering around a suburban neighborhood near a local park when we decided to stop by a record store. I picked up some great Rory Gallagher for next to nothing, but Brian spotted this weird-looking album with no name on the cover—the kind of thing you’d see mentioned in a magazine like Rolling Stone as one of those legendary masterpieces. It was "Kimono My House." For some reason, he passed on it, but I grabbed it, thinking, alright, let's give this a shot. By the time I was on the bus home, reading through some hilarious lyrics, I could already feel myself softening up. Once I got back, I dropped the needle on the first track, "This Town Ain't Big Enough For Both Of Us." Obviously, I recognized that one. But man, every single other track was just as incredible. I ended up listening to the whole album two or three times that same night. When I woke up the next morning, it was a gorgeous spring day, birds were chirping, and Sparks was right there at my fingertips... I felt amazing. Like I was finally healed...
