Artifice

Ahh damn, are lyrics a no-no on this thread? Nostalgia bomb incoming: Sour Me. Ouch! I was friendly with this girl, Who insisted on touching my face. She told outrageous stories. I believed them 'til the endings Were changing from endings before. She's not touching me anymore. Untogether, I couldn't help her I got hard. You can try your life. You can't save the unsavably untogether. I was shipwrecked with this frog, Who was endlessly testing my faith. He made outrageous demands. I ignored him 'Til I strapped on my boat feet And surfed into shore. He's not touching me anymore. Untogether, I

Hmm, maybe some that haven't been mentioned? Sweet Jane - Velvet Underground / Cowboy Junkies Pretty Mary K - Elliott Smith Judy's Staring at the Sun - Catherine Wheel w/ Tanya Donnelly

Is it wrong to like that Scarlett Johansson cover of Tom Waits (Falling Down)? Is it okay if I like it despite her heavily engineered vocal? I'm so conflicted.

What a great thread. Happy that I remember all of these songs, and agree with all of them except for that godawful 4nonblondes crap and Mr Big (wtf??) And I love No Myth, but that came out in '88 or '89, about the same time as Love & Rockets had their only U.S. hit ("So Alive"), and Jesus & Mary Chain released the still rocking "Head On". LOL that isn't Cowboy Mouth, that's Soul Coughing, and it's called Super Bonbon. Cowboy Mouth's hit was Jenny Says. TYLER You cannot mention Toadies without mentioning Tyler. That song is so deliciously dark, and it rocks so damn hard.

Laura Marling - Tap My Window Okay, I stumbled into this. I was floored when I found out that she just turned 18. She has some serious talent.

Original vinyl of Revolver & the white album, signed by 3 of the 4. Thanks dad.

Just saw Stars last weekend. Excellent show. Great venue. Still in my head.

I really don't think mine needs explanation. I'm just a fan of all the musical history and the sound.

So, she'll potentially record a song 100 times for 100 different buyers? Weird.

Not everything these guys touched turned to gold though. I've never really gotten over how bad Tom Verlaine messed up Jeff Buckley's sound when they were trying to record together.

Heard both comments before, especially about Yeasayer being great live. Have to admit their record didn't quite do it for me, but now I do wanna see them live.

Anybody headed to their show with Yeasayer @ Schubas tonight?

Ahhh... just hearing Tanya's vocals kick that thing off brings back good memories. Thanks for the link. Gonna listen to this the rest of the afternoon.

This is holding up much better than I expected: Of course it helps that I haven't listened to it in well over a year. Please put out another record soon.

Are they trying as hard as they are with that Loveless album cover?

FWIW, this rumor was debunked. Google it. Very irresponsible of Financial Times.

I picked up a Toshiba HD DVD player (A2) for $99 back around November 1st. At that price, who cares? Incidentally, I do love it. The difference is noticeable (on a big screen HDTV), though not necessary. The most unexpected bonus was how much better my regular old DVDs looked, and I had a Samsung "upconvert" 1080 DVD player before. The Toshiba again does a noticeably better job at that.

Terribly sorry if this is a repost, as I am totally stealing it from another board: Kinda disturbing how well this works sometimes. Some examples: http://www.fiveofanatic.com/pics/album01.jpg http://www.fiveofanatic.com/pics/album03.jpg http://pod.ath.cx/muquarnas.jpg http://www.spookywhatsqueeks.com/other/hall.jpg http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v4...ntkaz/yoyo.jpg My band was They Hunger, album: Temper of the Sufferer and the cover was: Cover Cant upload from work, but that came together a little too neatly.

I didn't realize that was supposed to be Justine (Elastica). Kinda funny, because she used to stand on their balcony and scream (f--k off!) at the girls throwing themselves at Damon...

Story Anyone keeping up with this? How will this work from a lineup/service perspective? I'm afraid that they will mess with MY PRECIOUS, a/k/a Sirius 26... This cannot be allowed to happen.

So, so late to the party with these guys. What a fantastic band.

Think I'll buck the LP trend here and go with my evening commute last night, which just clicked perfectly for some reason: Kings of Leon - California Waiting The New Pornographers - Mutiny, I Promise You Buffalo Tom - Sodajerk The Cure - A Forest Okkervil River - Our Life Is Not A Movie, Or Maybe Then this morning: The Smiths - William, It Was Really Nothing Modest Mouse - Florida (back to back Johnny Marr!) The Thermals - Pillar of Salt Dinosaur Jr - Start Choppin' Between Left of Center and my own playlists, and the light traffic, commuting has been pretty kickass the past couple of
