If DMT didn't exist we would have to invent it. There has to be a weirdest thing. Once we have the concept weird, there has to be a weirdest thing. And DMT is simply it.

Since Rascal Flatts was brought up, let me say this:
My wife has dragged me to see them twice, and they can PLAY. Especially when they do a stripped-down mini-set with just the three main guys and the drummer -- some of those arrangements in that setting actually swing. The bassist/keyboardist is particularly talented.
Their songs suck donkey balls, of course.Originally posted by Kevin SeitzerWe pinch ran for Altuve specifically to screw over Mith's fantasy team.

So fucking tragic about Morphine. They were destined for more great things.
One of my friends played in a band with Morphine's sax player in the '80s.Originally posted by Kevin SeitzerWe pinch ran for Altuve specifically to screw over Mith's fantasy team.

eldiablo, you keep taking albums I most definitely would have taken. First Op Ivy and now the Descendents. Milo Goes to College is the blueprint to all punk that came after it.Last edited by BuckyBuckner; 11-27-2013, 01:27 PM.I'm unconsoled I'm lonely, I am so much better than I used to be.

Yeah, if you don't know the story, that's Garth. Google it - I still don't understand exactly what happened there...
I cannot confirm or deny but I may own that CD. :-/

Originally posted by Erik View PostVery shocked that it took this long for another Pearl Jam record to go. I had one of their records ranked almost as highly as Ten, which I took in the first round. Ten is their best, but it's not 15 rounds better than all of their work (any of their pre-Binaural albums, really).
Grace is a cult record in the US. "Last Goodbye" and the title track got some "modern rock" airplay and the record did well with critics, but wasn't a massive hit during Buckley's lifetime. Its stature has grown in the intervening years. I didn't own it in full until a deluxe edition came out in the mid-2000s and more of my friends were talking it up. I was heavily into hard rock and grunge in the early and mid 90s, and Grace wasn't that, so it just wasn't in my wheelhouse at the time; but now it is.
On a related note, I could have sworn that I had the same experience with My Bloody Valentine, but it must have been a false memory, because when I listened to it this time, I was all over it, and can't imagine why I wouldn't have been all over it when it first came out."When I use a word," Humpty Dumpty said in rather a scornful tone, "it means just what I choose it to mean - neither more nor less."
