ROLLING OH SHIT IVE BEEN DRINKING ALL NIGHT AND NOW I AM AT HOME LISTENING TO (insert band here) AND YAHHHH MOTHERFUCKER THREAD FOR ME AND LIKE MINDED INDIVIDUALS BECAUSE ITS ALL LOVE (HATERS SHUT UP)

this band is so goddamn awesome MOD EDIT BAND IN QUESTION WAS THE TOADIES BUT OPEN SEASON FOR ALL IMO

not actually drunk per se, just that perfect level of spongelike and appreciative, and srsly this band oh hell

(warmed up with a brief tour through everclear but we've moved on now.)

btw anybody who hasn't revisited the toadies w/the perspective of listening to the lead singer exorcising his uberfundamentalist upbringing is missing like 90% of what makes them amazing - start w/backslider as a tutorial

ive been listening to the frogs all week. sonic amphibian week up in here.

and uh exorcising isnt even the right word, its the sound of a dude coming to terms w/deeply ingrained religion that he is still down with but staring into the void of the practices that surround it, just amazing.

xpost: oh dude, the frogs are so great! so down with bands that present themselves to cursory listeners (or confused lollapalooza crowd-members) as a pisstake and then kind of pull back the curtain and do amazing stuff.

btw toadies followup (like a billion years later) hell below/stars above is a neglected masterpiece.

JOHN DID YOU OR DID YOU NOT SEE MY MSG TO YOU ON FACEBOOK???

The short of it - turns out I used to live with someone you once dated!! O_O

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=92Vyg8VOGBM

Drunoxed and listening to the Disintegration reissue.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mQl6RzB73x4

YES I DID! i am just crap at facebookining. that is crazy. when was this (i did uh date her twice so i am trying to figure out the timing).

xxxxpost see i already love this thread and am happy i made it.

is there anything wisconsin cant do?!?!?

note: it is possible that if tales were told by dated lady, i may have come off as a bit of an asshole, because i think at that point in my life i was a bit of an asshole.

xpost: NO. wisco has a special power

(sorry to hijack your thread btw - This would have been in the fall of 1999 when she briefly lived in Boston. Do you also know her best friend Jen B? They moved out here together and I worked at a bar with Jen around that same time. LOL. No tales were told but I totally understand. At first I was like OH COOL and then oh shit - she could tell some not so great stories from my youth! If the two of you ever talked about me I would probably just come off as a crazy drunk because I was 21 and pretty much was a crazy drunk at that point but she sorta was too)

see yeah that first frogs video is exactly what im talking about. so awesome

xpost oh hey hooray crazy drunks tbh.

also by not really having my threads make sense in the first place they are IMPREVIOUS TO HIJACK which is how i like them.

want to know more about disintegration reissue as well.

LOL

^^^okay there is nothing surprising to me about "John dated this woman I met" if she lived anywhere in the Midwest in the last 25 years. (Please PLEASE say it was the one who sold your pain medication behind your back, though, PLEASE)

want to know more about disintegration reissue as well.

See here: Why is there no thread for The Cure's Disintegration?

omg there is a hilarious performance of the frogs on smashing pumpkins viewphoria vid that is A++++++ .... i think it's a song about being gay and telling his mum??? i can't remember it's been a while

no no i know about the thread, i am encouraging not-ilm cautious effusive love sonnets of awesomeness, because that is how we do it on this thread right here. xpost

btw the best part of all this was that when I asked her how she knows John J and she got to say "I dated him a long time ago" whereas when I was asked the same question I had to fess up to being an internet dork.

ENBB, your excuse is that you lived in the wrong place. (btw, I am TOTALLY in love with the pix of Benson on your FB page!!!)

I am sad that I have no idea about any of these bands (other than The Cure, duh), but will investigate somehow at some point. Not like I don't have oodles of free time of late.

whenever ilx goes down i think that its probably something that i did

oh shit here it is:

so i am torn, i am now on random play. should i let this be my shameful admission thread?

THIS THREAD IS A SAFE ZONE

wait for it

Jimmy Eat World - Bleed American is a great fucking album

It's your thread, you can confess whatever musical misdeeds you want to!

xpost thx for posting The Frogs; enjoyed it

dont worry guys, i still listen to more nurse with wound than any rational human being should

we will accept that in place of a DNA sample

POPTASTIC

haven't been drinking, but I do have some Aphex Twin (Selected Ambient Works 85-92) on right now and it's hitting the spot iirc

okay, listened to Jimmy Eat World clip (liked), now have put The Cure's Disintegration on because I can, just as long as I don't wake everyone else in my house (sleeping kids, husband who wants to go running tomorrow morning at some ungodly hour)

also pretending to write a book review while I actually look for papers I can get rid of from the maelstrom on my desk

ok so kimmo pohjonen

he is a finnish dude that plays accordion (i think he uses wikipedia so leave yer assumptions at the door) and as a devoted accordion lover (no really) i put him in the top circle, srsly, in the reach of astor piazolla and flaco jimenez. so good.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nVgbSlnKVDQ

xxxpost: aphex SAW is so so dope.

cliffs and hexagon are prob my go to tracks on the afx but oh man it is all good

Will listen to that next, but not before "Love Song" is over. Not good karma to interrupt a Cure song (I am making up rulez here, but I don't care).

Can't claim to be an accordion lover, but my closest friend from nursing school is suddenly learning the accordion and I was shocked at how good it sounded when I got to hear her play a couple weeks ago.

ok now, you know what is the shit?

elton john and tiny dancer. is the shit.

cliffs and hexagon are prob my go to tracks on the afx but oh man it is all good

That's SAW II, not SAW. I'm with you that it's all great. "Rhubarb" is great for giving or receiving a massage.

I'm not as drunk as I ought to be, considering that I'm listening to the Hank Williams box. I should stop nursing this beer and just get on with it.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-Lza3NVH6Ig

Okay, I like Tiny Dancer fine, but I can't help but mis-hear the lyrics ever since reading those books of misheard song lyrics someone gave me.

Hold me closer, Tony Danza
Count the head lice on the highway...

So now I laugh every time I hear the damn song.

Discovered that The Cure's "Homesick" makes an amazing Bevis Frond-style acid rock blow out.

ok so no one else still cares, but skeleton key was a great band.

no videos i could find. meh

Didn't even know Skeleton Key WAS a band. Thought it was just a movie I saw once.

Okay, going to bed at long last in a moment, thanks for reminding me to listen to music again, hopefully tomorrow no one will have to tell me to put on my socks and shoes and brush my teeth or anything.

good night ITR & <3 <3 <3 to you all

http://www.skeletonkey.org/audio/sawdust.mp3
http://www.skeletonkey.org/audio/kerosene.mp3

kenan i can not fully express my love for hank williams, lovesick blues is maybe a perfect song? at least as close as we scrubby monkeys might get.

breaks my goddamn heart

ok closing out the eve w/ highway 61 - mississippi fred mcdowell.

see u dudes tomorrow at about the same time

Johnny Cash "Folsom Prison Blues" right now, but planning to listen to the stuff on this thread I missed last night, assuming I can stay awake anyway.

OH SHIT I'VE BEEN DRINKING SINCE 9:00 AM SO I'M ABOUT TO BOMBARD THE FUCK OUT OF THIS THREAD WITH YOUTUBES.

on to "Ring of Fire," still writing, still tired

Should have consumed the drink my best friend made for me earlier tonight, obv (a "Bob Dole" - 1 part Old Granddad Whiskey, 3 parts pineapple juice). Would have, but her timing suxored and I hadn't eaten yet...

x-post THAT WAS MINE PPL

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BTStMImOtuU&playnext_from=TL&videos=kfV_auWCFqg

Because it's next on my list of youtube favs but also because I spent 1/2 the afternoon dancing with gay men in hotpants at the Boston Pride Parade:

That Divine song is xtra awesome party times thats for sure fwiw.

God I think I still have it taped on VHS somewhere, haha! /lolold.

Giving up on catching up with you fast music-posting people for the night because I am falling asleep at my desk, which is less glamorous than I want it to be.

Good night! <3

i am totally behind the meteoric rise to semi-impoverished stardom of jason webley (half of this thing w/amanda palmer) because he is a nice dude and hey apparently busking in portland has a future!~
