Random music thoughts

[foolsgold]

Straight edgers at a medium sized, Jesuit university in the Midwest are still every bit as obnoxious as straight edgers in any other realm of society.  I'm not sure why this surprises me.

Three random band names I thought of before 10:00 AM:

The Tattersalls-- twee/indiepop
Harrington Jack-offs-- Punk
Tribülus-- Heavy Metal band with lesbian influence

[rva]

Three random band names I came up with between 2:30 and 3:30:

All Ball-- Experimental/post-punk/noise duo
Ovulate Wildly-- All-female Smiths covers band
Carafe Racer-- Indie rock

Sunday?

I guess this means that this year, me and Geto Boys will be trick or treat'n

I actually heard someone say to-mah-toe just now, for the first time ever.  And I can now say I would have absolutely no problem calling the whole thing off.

Not really a thought...but a spotting.

Spotted Constantine (American Idol/Rock of Ages fame) eating lunch/breakfast at First Watch downtown today.  Must have been rehearsing.

I was reading while listening to the Music Choice when this song came on. FFS, I had forgotten how much I love this song. Cheesy 80's pop? Absolutely but damn it's well done.

Loved that song!

The consensus on "Whip My Hair" appears to be that it's not just a good song for a nine year old, it's just a good song for anyone.  It's actually the opposite.  That's not just a bad song for anyone, it's even a bad song for a nine year old.

Have people really become this tone deaf, or is it just that we all realize we're going to get Jaden and Willow shoved down our throats for the next 30 years so we might as well start psyching ourselves into liking it and at least try to keep them from going Lindsay Lohan.

I'd be a horrible person if I typed out my initial thought when I read this, right?  Or, am I just a pussy for feeling a twinge of sympathy for a guy who can't even wipe the him from himself?

Dammit Collins, even in retirement you're still pissing me off.

I actually hadn't heard this song until the past weekend. We were staying with friends who have a 2 year old girl and 4 year old boy.  While the mom and I were out shopping, their dad thought it would be a hoot to play "Whip my hair" repetitively until his son started saying it over and over, thinking it was hilarious.
It WASN'T. 
The only time any of us laughed was when their 2 year old daughter, who isn't a talker, yelled out "I whip my hair back and forth!" during dinner.  For hilarity's purpose, I should point out that she frequently sounds like Meatwad when she talks.

...But Seriously, you know he's not living Another Day in Paradise, right? I Cannot Believe It's True that a man who's shown us at Face Value and Against All Odds the meaning of love (you can't hurry it, and it's groovy) would also show us Both Sides of the Story. This was supposed to be heaven! Where Two Hearts beat as one! Do You Remember? I had so much more respect for you, Collins. Maybe, just maybe, if you Take Me Home and we stop living our Separate Lives will I be able to forgive you.

• Collins has noticed glowing, semitransparent light orbs in a series of photos he took at the Alamo.
"It's paranormal energy," he explains, noting that a psychic recently told him he fought at the fort in a previous lifetime. "I don't want to sound like a weirdo. I'm not Shirley MacLaine, but I'm prepared to believe. You've seen the pictures. You can't deny them, so therefore it's possible that I was there in another life."

WTF?  How come everyone who thinks they had a previous life always thinks they were someone noteworthy?  Pretentious wank.

To be fair, he doesn't say who he is.  He could've been like the Alamo's janitor in the '20's or something.

My apologies for missing this post yesterday. It was definitely GSPoTD-worthy!
