What Are You Listening to Right Now?
Okay, now I'm picturing you with your baseball caps still on, beers by your sides...
If something good happened during the game, Jacks, we'd reach over and high-five each other, sending bubbles flying everywhere...
The only appropriate way to listen to Slayer in the bath is if you're bathing in blood.
Just as long as there are plenty of bubbles, RA. Let's keep this PG-13, please.

You're right, of course, Sally. Silly me, of course Kevin is wearing his fruit hat. Kevin, please remember not to operate your chain saw while you're in the tub, okay?
RA, that link doesn't appear to work. It says I don't have permission to view it. :(

I don't know. I googled "gerber baby" because I wanted to post a pic of the gerber baby with the dog pulling off the diaper and say it was Kevin after the bathtub, but everything went awry and I ended up with those two pics instead:)
Gah! I don't think I like that picture, RA. I actually prefer the bubble bath/men in hats image...
Happy 63rd bday to David Bowie!I lurve him.
Whew! Thanks, KD.Oh, I'm listening to...

Shit! You're right, Sally...that's why I kept getting the wrong babies...

It used to be all over at Huntington Beach when my grandma lived there when I was little.
So, now I'm picturing RA in little pigtails. This is NOT good...Sally, have mercy!

Kip Winger is STILL a dork today. I saw him interviewed on VH1's lame-assed Top 100 Hard Rock Songs of All Time countdown, and he still comes across as that overtanned doucher with a jones for teenage girls. Frickin' tool.

:( Sorry, KD. I think there's nooo way possible we could trick RA now. OR... maaaaybe, you could tease that I posted something ELSE, KD... and I could change my posts too... and maaaybe there's still hope and we could pull one over on him! It could be a concerted effort! AND everyone KNOWS that tricking RA is the quickest fix to getting Winger out of your head... cuz riiiight?
This whole album is great. If you don't have it you should get it.
i prefer just dan auerbach myself, but the black keys are good too.

I am totally confused by this, so it must have worked.:)
My mp3 player finally died, three years after the purchase...so I'm back to CDs for a couple weeks until I decide to buy. Feels weird. But I'm pulling out a lot of classical I haven't heard in a while...Mahler this morning...

the title is 'keep it hid' - maybe people have taken it literally and that's why you haven't heard of it yet ;) it was released somewhere in the first half of 2009 i think. let me know how/if you like it.

Ahh, a little NWOBHM (New Wave of British Heavy Metal) will do the trick!"
Speaking of Saxon, back in 1982 at Meadowbrook Music Theater, just north of Detroit, someone got the bright idea of booking them to open for Cheap Trick. After about a half hour of a bunch of power pop fans sitting on their hands - including me - lead singer Biff Byford said, "Whatsa matter? You all on your periods?"
Cue laugh track...

Who doesn't find Joey Ramone sexy? Not in a pretty-boy way, of course, but in that Bad Boy way that I found so irresistable in high school....

I think not. That's why I made it say "For you, KD!" - you probably didn't even click on the link, though, did you?
p.s. I posted it in direct response to

But you've been a good sport about it, KD!!! :D♥
Did somebody mention Suicide's first record lately? I was listening to that on the way to work this morning...great album.

No, but here, here! Still slightly disturbing, what what a record, er, album. Hard to believe it came out 33 years ago. Christ, where did the time go?

One good:
An album that sounds like 10 great singles. Oh, all right, then - seven great singles and three great B-sides.
And one not so good:
The unmistakable sound of millionaires' pension plans being topped up.

Too bad he wasn't built for the long haul. I still miss him, Johnny, and Dee Dee. Forget Anita Bryant and orange juice. A day without the Ramones is like a day without sunshine.

I'm in a coffee shop and The Jam's "That's Entertainment" just came on the speakers. Great song.Sparks were underrated, no doubt, Clark...and Suicide still blows me away thirty plus years later...now to find some Tubeway Army...

Methinks "Replicas" is the one. "Are Friends Electric?" and "Down in the Park" are great songs.

"Wyatt and Pam in the Botanical Gardens" - Wooden Stars
Tubeway Army are awesome, Clark, I agree...Replicas is a great record.
Okay, hear me out. If you can get by Pete Burns' gender-blurring schtick (I think he's still technically a man) and the western rough-trade motif unfurled in the video, there's a nifty little pop hook buried underneath all of the production that will make your head spin, your liver quiver, and your bladder splatter.
I would make the same argument for Men Without Hats, who released, to my ears, three or four cool and interesting synth records.
