I could write a similar review of the tracks between Waves and Wolves, but that will have to wait until another day. That portion of the album could be an album separate from TLOP and I'd buy 10 copies. Last half of the album, from Waves to Wolves, is my favorite parts. It's what keeps me coming back. And I still love FACTS. EDIT: Damn, I meant to edit this point in with my prior post about the Rock 'n Roll HOF. My bad! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He's just jealous that he'll never write a song as great as "I Want You To Want Me" or "Fuck Tha Police". Or "Perfect Strangers" for that matter (since DP are getting inducted too). 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Curt McGirt Posted April 16, 2016 Share Posted April 16, 2016 The closest Gene comes is "Black Diamond" and that's still credited to Paul! Also, Gene wouldn't punch you in the mouth, he'd have his bodyguard do it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
roofiethebutcher Posted April 17, 2016 Share Posted April 17, 2016 I know this is a long shot in such a short amount of time (timed quiz thing), but I was wondering if anyone had any idea what song this very small clip could be from. It is clip 8. https://drive.google.com/folderview?id=0BypAhDMguEJZNHdRd1U5blV2bHc&usp=drive_web Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
zev Posted April 17, 2016 Share Posted April 17, 2016 That's the opening couple seconds of a Bowie tune, I want to say "Fashion" is the answer. Edited to add: For comparison, I ask you listen closely to the very beginning of this- asj Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gonzo Posted April 21, 2016 Share Posted April 21, 2016 We may need yet another thread. . . TMZ is reporting that there's a person dead at the Paisley Park estate in Minneapolis. I hate to keep citing TMZ for stuff like this, but they've been right more frequently than they've been wrong lately. God damn it, 2016, don't you do this.

JRGoldman Posted April 24, 2016 Share Posted April 24, 2016 I know there are a bunch of fans of power pop on this board, so I figured I'd share the new album by Nice Try, out of Blooimington. I'm not often charmed by music, but this album makes me want to sit next to a girl I like during summer and touch shoulder to shoulder: https://nicetry.bandcamp.com/ 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lamp, broken circa 1988 Posted May 1, 2016 Share Posted May 1, 2016 Alright. This has been frustrating me and I figure if any place I frequent will have someone with this viewpoint, it'll be here. Explain to me why it's bad that pop stars (like, oh, say, Beyonce) have a lot of cowriters on their records, but directors get a majority of the credit for good films. What is actually the difference. I would understand this argument a lot better coming from people that are all about, like, local theater or independent film, but that's not the kind of people I'm seeing dismiss Lemonade for having multiple co-writers on it.

There isn't a more fraudulent argument for why a pop singer isn't good than, "She doesn't even write her own stuff." It is just a way to hate on someone when they don't really have any basis for their criticism. Have you ever heard anyone say, "Frank SInatra sucks, he didn't even sing his own songs?" Frank Sinatra was legendary because of his performance of those songs, not because he wrote them or composed them or anything else. Same with Beyonce, Whitney Houston, or most other pop singers. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Johnny Sorrow Posted May 6, 2016 Share Posted May 6, 2016 I just spent the last hour or so listening to Townes Van Zandt's "Live At The Old Quarter". Best choice I've made in some fucking time. I highly recommend it, pun intended. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Please keep in mind I don't think that having song writers is inherently a bad thing, and I don't actually care at all, I've just been thinking about this and wanted to give an argument for the other side. I think it boils down to music being viewed historically as an inherently more personal medium. We hear one person's voice, and thus subconsciously assume that they are singing about themselves, their surroundings, their experiences. It's easy to see why people would feel betrayed when they learn that someone whose viewpoint they identified with isn't actually their own. It's some bald dude from Nashville. Film is a medium that is about other people. We are removed, we see other people doing things. There is a level of visual performances that we don't get from a radio single. That's the argument I think someone would try and make intellectually, but it's BS. It boils down to racism. No one cares that Elvis didn't write his own songs. They care that Beyonce doesn't. It's a way to declare minority artists as artistically and intellectually inferior. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Curt McGirt Posted May 7, 2016 Share Posted May 7, 2016 After hearing about them years ago I finally hear the first indie punk release in the US ever. And boy is it good and cruddy Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cliff Hanger Posted May 8, 2016 Share Posted May 8, 2016 So I had no idea that Culture Club had dropped a single in 2014, done a few shows and announced an album and tour, only for Boy George to have throat/vocal problems. I'd never heard this song or known it existed. It turned up on my Spotify "Discover Weekly" (the 30-song algorithmically generated playlist they give you every Monday if you're a paid subscriber) and I've listened to it probably 30 times. I really hope George gets healthy enough to finish the album, because if this is any indication I'll love it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lamp, broken circa 1988 Posted May 9, 2016 Share Posted May 9, 2016 The wave of hideous fools that are going to call it a return to form after the "disappointing" King Of Limbs notwithstanding, this new Radiohead album is really good. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sabremike Posted May 14, 2016 Share Posted May 14, 2016 Heads up: TM/Live Nation is doing their $20 tickets with no fees sale this week for a bunch of shows this summer. I got one for Dashboard and TBS at Jones Beach and will probably get for Slipknot, the Goo Goo Dolls and Black Sabbath as well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
