  1. you can make a case that the Romantics were a one-hit wonder, but you have the wrong song they had one song in the top 30 and it reached No. 2 but it wasn't What I Like about You, it was Talking in your Sleep One in a Million hit No. 37 and What I Like about You No. 41 i always thought When I Look in your Eyes was the best track on their first record
  2. flacs = good mp3s = bad you can always convert flacs to MP3s (only reason would be to save space) but you can also just convert the flacs to *.wav files without losing audio quality just download the flac front end http://flac.sourceforge.net/download.html and off you go
  3. now playing at a starbucks: friend of the devil > box of rain > althea > eyes of the world holy shit totally amazing
  4. all of a sudden, my 10-year-old daughter is into the pogues in the car today, she didn't ask me to put on the hannah montana disc she said, "Dad, can you play that Turkish Song of the Damned song by the Pogues?" love it!
  5. actually, O'Sullivan had two other top-10 hits in the U.S. - Claire reached No. 2 and Get Down hit No. 7. he had a ton of hits in the UK Rutgers-educated and New Jersey-born Elliott Lurie went from one of the finest 45s ever - Brandy - to one of the worst, the follow-up Jimmy Loves MaryAnn. The follow-up did get a lot of airplay and spent a few weeks in the top-40, peaking at No. 33. nonetheless, i would consider Looking Glass a one-hit wonder two others in the US top 20 (including No. 9 I Will Come to You), numerous worldwide
  6. a friend with no knowledge of tweedy or farrar asked me to make mix CDs of each so these are my farrar / tweedy introductory samplers, with the emphasis on being accessible jay loose string doesn't have to be this way afterglow 61 slate back into your world still be around creosote route methamphetamine 6 string belief (live @ orange peel) highways & cigarettes windfall hard is the fall (live from i forget) the picture (no horns version) looking for a way out bandages & scars (live @ world cafe) tear stained eye the search driving the view barstow dent county
  7. according to the mods on the forum, they're in the final stages of testing before getting the site back up after a major hack and a backup failure killed everything nobody is sure what's going to happen with karma points or ratios, but at least the site will be back (hopefully) terrific site
  8. interesting way to put it, TheMaker what do you mean by that?
  9. driver's seat is indeed a terrific little pop song remember playing it on my college radio station a couple centuries ago probably segued into Hey St. Peter by Flash and the Pan, another quality one-hit wonder
  10. oh, ok so we're not allowed to burn our own CDs or make our own mixes? that's one of your rules for people on this message board? just trying to be clear don't want to break one of your rules
  11. anybody belong to jerome's place? PM me if you do thanks
  12. kind of like how you've now posted five times how much you dislike me!
  13. that's cool. your opinion is welcome here. like everybody else's thanks for the kind words. seriously, you have a thin skin if a couple negative posts about a hack like Jack Johnson bother you that much it's a message board, brah ... lighten up ... it's all about opinions
  14. that soundtrack from The Thing You Do is freaking terrific
  15. Jack Johnson sucks hey, Chompsky ... that's four!
  16. Johnsin is suck. I am stunned by the complete lack of redeeming qualities in his music. There are no melodies. There is no life. There is nothing even remotely musically inventive happening. His songs are a shapeless, lifeless pile of sludge. He reminds me of the shit some self-absorbed high school kid would write after two weeks of guitar lessons. The fact that this guy is so popular while a fucking genius like Jay Farrar toils in obscurity blows my mind.
  17. no, again the Raspberries hit No. 1 with Go all the Way but also charted with I Wanna Be with You (No. 16) and Let's Pretend (No. 35) - which were both superior tracks - and also Overnight Sensation (No. 18). And Tonight should have been a smash but only hit 69. but more than this, the Raspberries were among the most influential and enduring power pop bands, cited by countless bands from the dBs to Guided By Voices as an inspiration
  18. geeze, no america -- for reasons i'll never understand -- had a succession of top-20 hits sister golden hair ... i need you ... horse with no name ... lonely people ... ventura highway ... you can do magic ... tin man --- all made the top 10 and a bunch of others (daisy jane, don't cross the river, the border, today's the day, etc.) in the top 40 when i think of a one-hit wonder, i think of Daddy Dewdrop, which reached No. 9 in 1971 with Chick-a-Boom and then disappeared
  19. that's a rough one both just suck beyond comprehension
  20. thanks!! i saw the philly show and it was phenomenal effin' brilliant
  21. dude sucks beyond belief truly wretched
