FUUUUCCCCCCKKKKKKKK.

Tropical F**k Storm - Braindrops

I guess, if I am to make any attempt at this, I should first create a top 10:
 

1. Tom Zé
2. The Beatles
3. Guided By Voices
4. The Kinks
5. Nick Lowe
6. Brian Eno
7. Yo La Tengo
8. XTC
9. Neutral Milk Hotel
10. Big Star

And then, I suppose:

• Prince
• Shrimp Boat
• REM
• The Ramones
• Parliament
• Television
• Jenny Lewis/Rilo Kiley
• The Roches
• Roky Erickson
• Uncle Tupelo
• Wilco
• Blur
• Talking Heads
• ©
• Wire

and a bunch more that I will probably remember later.

FYI: None of these are in any particular order, and they may all change 5 minutes from now.

Lizzo - Cuz I Love You

This changes day by day. Especially as I discover new artists that I become obsessed with for a while. Are they going to be top ten? No? Just a short term obsession or a long time favorite?

I don't know!!!

Albums are easier to rank than bands.

Milton Nascimento - Clube da Esquina

Salad Boys - This is Glue

Weyes Blood - Titanic Rising

Kiko Dinucci - Cortes Curtos

He also wrote a hilarious song about Don Henley ("Don Henley Must Die").

I just remembered that, and was about to come back and post it. But you beat me to it!

How about another Mojo classic:

"Debbie Gibson is Pregnant With My 2-Headed Love Child"

?

Or then, a non-Mojo song...

Jonathan Richman - "Velvet Underground"

Mojo Nixon - "Elvis is Everywhere"

The Darts - I Like You But Not Like That

 

Minutemen - Tour Spiel "i dreamed I was e bloom

but I woke up joe bouchard"

 

Minutemen - History Lesson pt 2

Our band could be your life

Real names'd be proof

Me and mike watt played for years

Punk rock changed our lives

We learned punk rock in Hollywood

Drove up from Pedro

We were fucking corn dogs

We'd go drink and pogo

Mr. Narrator

This is Bob Dylan to me

My story could be his songs

I'm his soldier child

Our band is scientist rock

But I was E. Bloom and Richard Hell

Joe Strummer, and John Doe

Me and Mike Watt, playing guitar

 

The Minutemen - "Political Song for Michael Jackson to Sing"

also...

fIREHOSE - "For the Singer of REM"

fIREHOSE - "Song for Elizabeth Cotten"

Just came back from my second viewing of Once Upon A Time....In Hollywood.

 

Holy moly. *laughs*

 

It’s been years since I’ve loved a film this much.

 

Anyone else see it? Thoughts? NO SPOILERS.

 

I think Brad Pitt was born to play the role of Cliff Booth.

As much as I hate to admit it, because he's so pretty, Brad Pitt is a great actor. One of the best of his generation.
