Vibes, man. No one should go through it.

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 the song (otherwise you're gonna kill your fingers stretching them a whole lot).

Pretty much only those two things for the whole song. Here's how it should look:

       Aaug4                   A      G
I got a million things that I'd rather do
       D/F#                   A    Aaug4
than to play rock and roll for you
  Aaug4           A     G
Oh honey if I blow you a fuse
D/F#              A    
can I please be excused?

       Aaug4    A     G       
I gotta right myself today
D/F#             A
Right myself for you
     Aaug4             A    G
Oh we haven't even been introduced
D/F#             A
so that'll never do

Oh I know a lot of other people could be
standing here instead of me
Singing their own sweet lies
between clenched and cracking teeth

I gotta right myself today
Right myself for you
Oh honey if I tell you the truth
that'll never do

D                                   A
Oh no, honey, let's not get carried away
D                                   E
Oh no, honey, let's not get carried away

Solo (verse chords)

There's a lot of other places to be
a lot of things that I'd rather be doing
A lot of songs that I'd like to sing
but I know that you would just ruin it

I gotta right myself today
Right myself for you
Oh we haven't even been introduced

Oh, let's not get carried away
Oh no, honey, let's not get carried away
I said oh, no, honey, let's not get carried away
Oh no, honey, let's not get carried away

Solo (verse chords again, then DRUM SOLO!!!!!)

I gotta right myself today
Right myself for you

Hope it helps, sorry about the, uh, two month delay.

But it's obviously a huge version of that. I took it at the Royal Observatory at Greenwich. Was pretty damn sweet.

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?

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?

Hey, everybody list all of your favorite albums!

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.

Really? These two have always struck me as the compilations that they are. Great songs, don't get me wrong, but they don't do much more for me than a greatist hits album would.

I love them all as if they were my children.

I think that's, um, it, at least for me. I compiled, like, everything I consider flawless, mostly for my own amusement (and because I've never done so before).

Pavement was a pretty notoriously bad live band. I wonder how this tour plays out. Certainly looking forward to it.

...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.

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.

And, as usual, the Onion puts this issue in the right perspective (the comical one): Supreme Court Allows Corporations To Run For Political Office.

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).

That was kind of my point. If Avatar wins for Best Picture, isn't it odd for it to not even have a Screenplay nod?

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.

Best Screenplay is complimentary to a Best Picture nomination. But then again Avatar got snubbed in that category.

"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.

Man. I think I will probably spray this on everything I own, and myself as well.

This.

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.

Gobias, you are describing people that I have no need to meet. I understand the reasons why someone would consistently vote for Ted Kennedy but then vote Scott Brown but that doesn't make them logical to me.

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.

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.

Beastie Boys. Sure Shot + So What'Cha Want + Sabotage = no need for the game's second half.

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?

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.

Great reaction by the Vikes PBP crew.

 

 

That game was a microcosm of who Brett Favre is. If it's not for Favre, they aren't in the situation where he had the opportunity to lose the game for them. He puts you in a situation to win, but he tries to do too much and sometimes (the last three seasons) he throws a season ending interception.

THIS IS NOT DETROIT, MAN, THIS IS THE SUPER BOWL!

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 that makes sense.

I think you're overreacting. By, like, a LOT

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.
