Damnit, why isn't that son-of-a-bitch coming to the East Coast? He's playing the west solid until March.

Actually, if I head to any them, it will be to the one at Stubb's on Friday. I doubt it though. Last week was Tool; this Thursday is Tom Petty. I think I might have to go see some local music before I spend any more money on premium shows.

I probably won't be heading to another show until the spring. Hopefully the Reverend will be swinging through town, and Ministry should be touring to support Animositisomina.

I've only been to a handful of shows since I moved here...and that's a shame. Our local scene is spitting out some great hip-hop and R&B, but we could use some more rock music.

I try to appreciate all musical genres...pooh on you. ;)

As much input as I have delivered for the sake of modern day mainstream, the stuff that really sticks to what little is left of my short and long term memory, are the classics. But I would probably remember if I heard it. You know what would be really cool? What about a thread simply for mainstream? classic rock, etc..

Hmmm, less confusion and more consistency in relevant topic matter. (pass)

Too many drugs, Joe? ;)

j03L10T 11-19-2002 01:19 AM

Just the facts. Even Tom Petty is a lip syncer, and the "waiting" was only the beginning. Not that I don't wonder what would make you say or suggest such a notion.

cororation t-shirt
stupid bloody tuesday
man you've been a rotten BOY
you let your face grow long

Ooh, I just can't give it away by taking this further!

Actually mine was Angel of Death by Slayer ;)

Inever have listened to Slayer, but I am sure from the lyrics I read it's a heavy hitter of a metal group.

I reveal a deceiver
in the highest seat of the land
if I don't act
the devil's workshop
generates
more smoke than heat

this one's a gimme-

I hear you're working in a saloon. They say you're working midnight to noon. Now I might be from the woods but those hours don't sound so good.

j03L10T 12-17-2002 03:16 AM

I give up-

What is the name of the song I probably sang. You're kiling me, please tell me.:)

You've got a Methodist coloring book
and you color very well
just be sure not to draw outside of the lines
or you're going straight to hell

Griff 12-17-2002 06:24 AM

Little Feat was the front for that bit of genius.

I'm firing synapses on your amusing line but I don't think I'm gonna get there.

j03L10T 12-17-2002 07:05 AM

Not to embarass anyone, but yep. They just aren't really my favorite. The thing is that I haven't re-reviewed it since it was conceived and recorded. Matter of fact, that was just after doing the work for wet willie. Neville brothers as well. You would expect me to remember on the spot but it's an awful lot to remember some twenty-five years later, raped, bruised and broken.
And famous.;)

Red rain is falling down all over me
falling down-(that was with a retainer in my mouth, ugh! "The barry williams show" was recorded back in 1984). Did you see that thing on tv where he went into the snake pit and then later he allowed danny bonnaduce to knock him out? Interesting how it coincided with the release of the single from the new cd. I'm in stitches after watching and listening, ew!

Jo3's is more Dead Milkmen.

Here's one that nobody, absolutely nobody, will get because it's completely unfair.

Peep hole, Peach blow, Pandora, Pompadour
Pale leaf, Pink sweet, Persephone

The most recent one was peter gabriel. Your's seems to read like 'pop music. Ya' know- new york, paris, london, munich, everybody talk about- which I really really dread. But I'm sure it isn't so I give up. What is it?:)

wolf 12-17-2002 10:39 AM

I thought j03's was Peter Gabriel? i'm not actually playing here, so no lyric from me ...

(Of course I admit off the bat that I'm absolutely no good at this, and am especially not current on any music. I've been listening to talk radio for years, with occasional forays to check out one of the new fm stations my friends talk about -- lemme tell you. I have a lot of empty space on the 12 fm presets on the car stereo.)

Undertoad 12-17-2002 10:55 AM

What the hell, I've given everyone an hour and a half on mine, and it's unfair anyway.

It's Cocteau Twins' "Ivo", except that it isn't. The actual lyrics are just nonsense that sounds like language but isn't. Then people tried to work out what was actually being sung, and this is what someone came up with.

Or something like that. For the next one I'll go an entirely different direction:

Does it feel that you life's become a catastrophe?
Oh, it has to be for you to grow, boy.
When you look through the years and see what you could have been,
Oh, what you might have been, if you'd had more time.

j03L10T 12-17-2002 10:57 AM

I was wondering-
 
The closing message at the bottom of your posts and the type of content within your posts, you know like I write sometimes that people mistake for some sort of attack. You don't have 'violent' dreams with pre-puescent little boys who actually are fully grown men who helped to save the world, by chance?:)

Supertramp, take the long way home. You probably thought I could use a dose of that after probably coming across as an egotistical shithead for merely conveying facts from having been behind the scenes, but it's all true and I did suffer very much just to be able to tell you- I sang this one too.:)

wolf 12-17-2002 12:26 PM

Please tell me if I missed some pop culture reference ...

Not usually, no. In fact, I only very rarely recall my dreams -- I envy people who have that ability. I have had the occasional post-apoctalyptic dream, a series of dinner out with friends horribly gone wrong when armed robbers enter the bar/restaurant, several extremely surreal dreams in which i meet a succession of animal spirit guardians, and, of course, that one where the hot dog chases the bagel through a tunnel ...

Robbers using the animal spirit guardians as an allusive diversion to avert all attention from the reality of their crimes perhaps? I can only wonder, too bad you don't dream like I do. I dream like crazy in vivid color most every night. Rarely any nightmares which makes it cool when they do appear. Sometimes I dream of things that actually happen, like top notch criminals who are highly praised by members of a community for stealing, finally brought to justice for their crimes and their lies and deception(s). I am making a fresh start here and dedicating the rest of my posts here to truly tasteless jokes, I think that's why it is here anyway. I will try to be more tasteful in the future and will pay closer attention from now on as to the underlying meanings of the words of others, and will not kid about things I do not understand. Later, sis:)

Me play!

There's so many people to see
so many people you can check up on
And add to your collection
But they keep you hanging on
Until you're well hung
Your mouth is made up but your mind is undone

Accidents Will Happen
 
Elvis Costello, 'Accidents Will Happen'

OK, here's one:
"Oh, the poor folks hate the rich folks,
and the rich folks hate the poor folks.
All of my folks hate all of your folks;
It's American as apple pie!"

warch 12-19-2002 12:56 PM

Tom Leherer - Brotherhood week!

Ok. this one is for the ladies...sigh.:)

You tell me where to go and
Though I might leave to find it
I'll never let your head hit the bed
Without my hand behind it

Too gooey for me
 
John Mayer, and, gosh, he sure is dreamy!
Thanks for the infusion of romance, warch, but that stuff is way too gooey for my tastes. For a more humorous exploration of nether regions, I prefer:

"You've got the nicest North America
this sailor ever saw;
I wanna feel your warm Brazil
and touch your Panama."

j03L10T 12-20-2002 08:53 AM

I love John Mayer. Just saying hello and not much else. Very tired.:)

Know watcha mean. Me too. Boy, jo3L10T, you certainly are more tame when you're tired. Hope you get some rest. I'm turning in right now. Nightie-night, so to speak.

j03L10T 12-24-2002 12:24 PM

New One
 
Hint: The version I prefer is a remake by "for squirells". Only the re-make was recorded because the voice of "for squirrels" was somewhat troubled and haunted by the sound of his voice on the original as well. The name of the song and the 'original eagle's' member for what should have been behind door number two, only twenty-five years ago maybe?

"He's got this dream about buying some land, gonna' give up the booze and the one night stands, and he asks you 'where ya' been', you try not to pretend and forget about everything".

I never did forget that one, either.;)
