[ArtDecade]

I just dropped in here to tell you kids to shut your dirty mouths about Sonic Youth. I'm about THISCLOSE to starting a Sonic Youth appreesh thread, so don't say I didn't warn you!

Population 1

In the summer of 69, Led Zep were looking for blues albums that they could copy without anyone knowing and claim songwriting credits. They sent Philip Moore, a young doorman, to local record store with 1000 dollars. They told him, "Buy the damn store if you have to." Moore took this money and bought tickets to NYC for him, his wife, and his small child. There, he changed his name to Phil Morello to avoid being caught by local authorities. His small child is now known an Tom Morello. When Tom began gigging, he realized that being wealthy was better than being poor, but that his lyrics about socialism and revolution would cause him to look like a hypocrite to his new fanbase. He had his manager set up dummy companies to look like he had less money than in actuality. One of his dummy companies was a talent management firm that found a young band in Jacksonville. They were playing local bars doing Southern Rock covers. Tom liked the band but realized that the genre they were playing in was a dead end. He set them up with a local rap artist that provided lyrics and had the band change their sound. The rest is history.

It's ss.o, so how does any thread not derail into communism, the matrix, or squint emoticons?

 

[Carrion Rocket]

Barnacle is the standout track.

And Sonic Youth suck.

I felt the first two songs were alright but I was bored with the rest of the album. All of the energy was removed after those two songs and felt like a chore to get through the rest of the album. Pillpopper had some moments of picking up the energy but overall I wasn't impressed with this album in the end.

 

[Shoeless_jose]

I didn't care for them much before outside of a few tracks. This feels so tongue and cheek though I love it. It's fun nof taking it too serious. And it's a nice quick bit of fun after a 90 minute mastodon play thru

 

[ittoa666]

Just listened to the first song and, yeah, no thank you.

 

[manu80]

Barnacle is the standout track.

Nirvana vibes in that one, was surprised !

 

[LostTheTone]

It's not really that.

RSFSR made a point of having NO identity.

As to the whole project might thing, for the old USSR, having military might on tap was more about its traumas and phobias. People who experienced running away from Nazi tanks felt having WAY MORE tanks was a very very good use of GDP.

Also, the same old, mostly-gone generations that were delivered by an illiterate folk midwife under an oil lamp felt that their government was GETTING SH!T DONE with electrification, universal literacy, free education, and universal health care.

The whole from no electricity or literacy to first man in space thing was also a huge propaganda coup. The party promised progress AND DELIVERED.

Fair enough; today I learned a thing

Wild that this legit sounds like a time warp back to like 1999/2000.

low key feeling it for the nostalgia vibes haha.

 

[jaxadam]

I spent the late 90s in Jacksonville. I prefer Sonic Youth, but I'd prefer listening to just about anything else.

What a time to be in Jacksonville! Did I run into you at any of the beach bars?

 

[akinari]

People miss that.

Being kinda poor with constant progress and full security feels STUNNINGLY better than being mostly poor with awful prospects and no stability.

You should blog about this stuff! Most interesting posts I've read on here in a while, actually (not being sarcastic if it reads that way)

 

[ImNotAhab]

I am butchering someone else's joke but I for one am enjoying their genre change from Nu-Metal to Post-Irony.

I was drunk in Freebirds a bunch when I wasn't drunk at JU or UNF. LOL.

Good stuff man, I paid the rent up in Freebirds a few times, and closed it down at the Ritz around the corner.

 

[DiezelMonster]

I rose from the grave to say, I don't like this.

not one bit.

I think you are supposed to welcome some new overlords as well.

First,
This is the best thing I've ever read on this forum. As a writer, I tip my pen to you.

Second, Limp Bizkit sticks in my craw as being the most annoying of the many annoying musical acts that would prance out to do a live intro on WWE every once in a while. Durst's squeaking, cracking voice doing 'Taker's intro made me wanna shove ice picks in my ears.

Them and Kid Rock only outrank ICP by -><- this much in that department.

This looks so fun to play wtf
