  1. Vibes, man. No one should go through it.
  2. Oh, shit, I just looked in this forum and found this. I'm sorry for, like, taking two months. But here it is: Most of the song is A-G-D-A, and the reason for the weird harmony right before the a is because of the augmented 4. The way I would play it is thus: E----------------- B----------------- G-8-8-89---------- D-7-7-77-9-97-7-67 A-7-7-77-5-55-5-55 D-7-7-77-5-55-4-44 The 7778 is the Aaug4 and so 7779 is the A, the 559 is the G, and the 457 is the D/F# The "chorus" part is really just D-A-D-E, just do power chords via the drop-D, that seems to be the easiest way to approach t
  3. But it's obviously a huge version of that. I took it at the Royal Observatory at Greenwich. Was pretty damn sweet.
  4. Gary Young has had his ass fired for a really long time. Pavement's lineup has been set since right after S&E, I think?
  5. Oh, I also forgot to add Bruce Springsteen's Born to Run to my encyclopedia. Oops. As if my list wasn't big enough already, right?
  6. Actually, I don't consider a lot of those records I listed to be, like, anywhere near my favorite albums (some of them are, obviously), but yeah. There are a lot of flawless albums out there, which is the problem, so you end up listing a whole lot. I love them all as if they were my children.
  7. Sorted by artist and then arranged approximately by release, but artists also arranged by decade: The Beatles - Please Please Me, With the Beatles, A Hard Day's Night, Beatles for Sale, Help!, Rubber Soul, Revolver, Sgt. Pepper's Lonely Hearts Club Band, Magical Mystery Tour, The Beatles, Yellow Submarine, Abbey Road, Let It Be The Velvet Underground - The Velvet Underground & Nico, White Light/White Heat, The Velvet Underground, Loaded, VU Bob Dylan - Bringing It All Back Home, Highway 61 Revisited, Blonde On Blonde, John Wesley Harding, Blood on the Tracks, Time Out of Mind, "Love and
  8. ...yikes. I have tickets to see Pavement 3/4 days they're at the Brixton in London in May (tempted to get the 4th just to, you know, complete the whole set). Hopefully it's not true...haha.
  9. I think Funeral is pretty damn untouchable as a record. I can't get into Neon Bible 'cause of the production. And, it's hard to see anything else Arcade Fire does get anywhere close to Funeral. That being said, I'm excited for this record.
  10. And, as usual, the Onion puts this issue in the right perspective (the comical one): Supreme Court Allows Corporations To Run For Political Office.
  11. When I heard that it was a 3xLP, I expected All Things Must Pass or Sandanista! levels of epic-ness, and it appears that this might deliver. I don't know if anyone can come close to those two 3xLPs in sheer level of awesome, but I'll be damned if Joanna Newsom flops trying to shoot for it (she may not "reach" those levels but she'll at least get close).
  12. No. A good screenplay means a good movie, but not necessarily the reverse. That's what Avatar is. Also, Avatar got the Oscar nod (and Golden Globe win) based on its entertainment potential. Not on its "movie movie" qualities. Implying that the Oscars and Golden Globes don't care about the right things anymore, sort of what I implied in the other post.
  13. "Pocahontas With Blue People" does not make for a very good screenplay. As entertainment, Avatar worked. But in terms of "film film" and all the stuff that should matter when it comes to awards, Avatar sucked a big one.
  14. BT W(TA) AGIB YHF ST SBS AM I mean, given like, last year, the list probably would have been really different except for BT on the top. It just goes in cycles, you know.
  15. I wouldn't want to meet these people either, as they're pretty illogical. Just saying that's how some people vote. And I'm guessing that's why a considerable amount of people defected from "Democrat" to "Republican": for no really good reason at all. Voting SHOULD be issues-based, but sadly it hardly ever is anymore.
  16. Voters these days aren't so much "issue" or "platform" voters anymore. They vote a lot based on charisma as a person, as a leader. Ted had a huge personality, which can mean the difference between voting Republican or Democrat. Scott Brown had more of a personality than Coakley. For middle-of-the-road, I-don't-know-enough-about-the-issues-to-care-about-who-I-vote-for sort of person, charisma means a lot more, so they probably voted for Scott Brown. Thus, he won.
  17. The Super Bowl would have to be awarded to the Beastie Boys, not, say, the Patriots, if they were there then. Iggy Pop doing the Super Bowl would be CRAZY. Especially with the Stooges. I Wanna Be Your Dog -> Lust For Life (gotta get some solo Iggy in there) -> Search and Destroy. I'm pretty sure the stadium would have to blow up after Iggy Pop "Search & Destroy"'d the stadium. Only sensible conclusion, right?
  18. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uRVTu2rDTq4 Also probably greatest moment in rock and roll, ever (I'm pretty sure this is the infamous concert at Manchester's Free Trade Hall). I'm also surprised no one had suggested this song yet.
  19. I read an article about this the other day (don't remember where though), but thanks to this guy's election, a grand-scale Republican takeover of Congress in the next midterm election becomes much, much harder now. It went along the lines of the new guy not letting the bill pass. If the bill passes, the Republicans have something to really rally around and gain a lot of momentum for midterm elections. But if the reform is stopped before it starts, then it's like, "well, crisis averted, not too big of a deal, eh?" sort of thing, and there's less of a "reason" to vote Republican. If any of
  20. I agree. It's the playoffs, much more than just a regular season game. If Childress wanted to pull starters, it'd be for the sake of giving his players rest, not because he is "concerned" about running up the score. It's pro football. Your job is to win by as much as you can. It ain't a child's game.
