Ohhhhhh..... then get Blackberry Belle. It's their best. Also, either the self-titled Warren Zevon album or Excitable Boy. You're best off with Genius, the comp Kor bought, but if you want the original albums, those are the best. What's the deal with Big Black? I always see their CD (you know the one) at CD shops and wonder what they sound like. Warren Zevon - Desperados Under the Eaves

I'll recommend you two: Chisel - 8 A.M. All Day and Rocket From the Crypt - RFTC

I know I'm obsessed. Hell, I've made Whigs/Singers mix CDs for half my friends and coworkers. If Greg and the boys played a show within three states of me again I think I'd be there. I've even got a friend who saw them with me in Cleveland. He teaches, so he's free to jet off to Europe with his summers off. Well, he got to see them again while he was over there, the bastard. I was so jealous, I turned green on the spot. But, but... it's not like it's the only thing I listen to (as you very well know!)! In fact, I'll probably see Rancid in a week or so. I've got my Social D tickets and I just heard Frank Black is dropping by Ohio for a solo show promoting his latest.... ... which I still need to pick up. Todd Snider - The Ballad of the Kingsmen

Heh, heh, heh. So, LK, did you go see the Twilight Singers or not? Tom Waits - Small Change (Got Rained On with His Own .38)

If Von Moltke the Younger hadn't sissied the plan up, it would have worked! The Schlieffster knew Germany only had a chance if it crushed France before Russia mobilized. (I knew my history minor would come in handy someday)

I'm no astronomer, but shouldn't a planet (even a dwarf one) have to revolve around the sun on its own, not as a larger planet's moon? Even though Pluto's orbit was a little erratic, that little guy was struggling to make it all the way around the sun on his own! You didn't see Pluto hitching a ride with Neptune, did you?

So she is! I'd like to know how [to get a date with] Gabrielle ... in the first place. <{POST_SNAPBACK}> Because she

@B: Yay! Against the Grain! @KQD: Yeah, that's Clarence. You know, he was playing solo shows a few years back at small clubs in small towns. If I attended any of those I'd just yell "Play the sax solo from Jungleland!" and he'd probably get pissed and leave. Whiskeytown - Yesterday's News

Right now, mkreku has got you all beat with his catchy campaign slogans. We need to see more of that, because everyone knows advertising wins elections. We also should have mod-wannabes answer more questions like the ones Steve posted. Standardized testing should thin out the power-hungry crowd, eh? We could have a debate! But then the question becomes, "Who will the moderator be?" OH WAIT! That was ALREADY the question!

Oh man, I remember seeing that show on Letterman. That was the first time I saw WZ do anything but "Werewolves." Dave gave him the entire show to talk and play music. He was a big fan. Nice find, Kor! Bruce Springsteen and the E Street Band - Prove it All Night Live in 1978. Man, the Boss could shred that Tele back in the day. (w00t)

Double-posting because it was night then and it's morning now. Oh, and for some reason I'm not getting an edit option... maybe because of different IPs? Anyhoo, I'm not much of a talk radio person (as you might suspect), so I need tunes on my morning drive to work. Putting the ol' mp3 CD player on random is one of my favorite tricks, because it's got the surprise element of radio without the possibility (ah, who am I kidding - probability) that the next song will suck. So this song came up and really hit the spot on a sunny Ohio morning. The Velvet Crush - Faster Days

The Afghan Whigs - Come See About Me What a massive groove. Seriously.

I love those wristbands/gauntlets/whatever the proper term is. Totally Judas Priest! \m/ And yeah, the bike rocks too.

I think pixies is losing his touch. And I don't mean his touch with the ladies, no sir! Edit to stay on-topic, and because there haven't been too many pictures lately.

Welcome back, Musman! Yeah, we've been plugging away over here in the tunes thread. Like we always do 'bout this time Jurassic 5 - Contribution

That's a classic! Steve Earle - Johnny-Come-Lately When I first got to London it was pourin' down rain Met a little girl in the field canteen Painted her name on the nose of my plane Six more missions I'm gone Well I asked if I could stay, she said that I might The warden came around yelling "shut out the lights" Death rainin' out of the London night We made love 'til dawn

Ghost World was a great flick. Of course, Steve Buscemi is one of the best actors in the universe. Phone's ringing, Dude.

WTF? Jeff Buckly -- Corpus Christi Carol <{POST_SNAPBACK}> I love how monstrously cliched the song is. They took a classic chord progression and beat it to death with overdone vocals and romanticizing. Is it satire? They've sold a bazillion records, so the Killers aren't the epitome of "Indie Rock" anymore - if they ever were - so are they taking the piss out of Pavement? Are they satiring Sebadoh? But mostly I think I like it because I'm a sucker for big key changes, and they don't get much bigger than this one. Franz Ferdinand - Outsiders

I need to see me some snakes. Preferably on planes.

The Beatles - Baby's in Black

The Killers - Indie Rock and Roll Sometimes I could listen to this song all day. she plays the drums, i'm on tambourine

Ha, that Dreadie is a character. But seriously, folks... Ryan Adams - Come Pick Me Up It's a minor bummer that he's edited, but hey - you can't say those words on CBS. More Ryan Adams on Letterman goodness follows... Ryan Adams - Let it Ride I love the guy, but those glasses are ridiculous.

Jay-Z and DJ Danger Mouse - Dirt Off My Shoulder This just sounds ridiculous with the Julia sample, but "99 Problems (Helter Skelter)" and "Encore (Glass Onion and Savoy Truffle)" are siiiiiiiiiiiiiiiick.

The Replacements - Unsatisfied
