jam up and jelly tight - tommy roe

I would have to disagree with you. The song lives up to the title on this one.

"unhappy birthday"

― Jody Beth Rosen (Jody Beth Rosen), Friday, 9 May 2003 03:24 (twenty-two years ago)

(actually, most smiths/mozz songs)

― Jody Beth Rosen (Jody Beth Rosen), Friday, 9 May 2003 03:24 (twenty-two years ago)

agree about the mozz songs ... disagree about the smiths songs. the obvious ones:

"november spawned a monster"
"hairdresser on fire"
"bengali in platforms"
"satan rejected my soul"
"best friend on the payroll"

JBR, you're off my love list.

the album title This Conversation is Ending Starting Right Now by mediocre indie bland Knapsack

― roger adultery (roger adultery), Friday, 9 May 2003 03:49 (twenty-two years ago)

Kenan, when I read your post my first instinct was to immediately write "Only the Good Thai Young."

― slutsky (slutsky), Friday, 9 May 2003 03:51 (twenty-two years ago)

*smack*

Snap out of it!

"Dance, Motherfucker, Dance" by the Violent Femmes. Goes nowhere.

beck's "asshole"

― Tad (llamasfur), Friday, 9 May 2003 03:55 (twenty-two years ago)

Now if it were called "Beck's Asshole," you might have somthing.

― Kenan Hebert (kenan), Friday, 9 May 2003 03:59 (twenty-two years ago)

file that next to "Momus' Dick"

― electric sound of jim (electricsound), Friday, 9 May 2003 04:01 (twenty-two years ago)

How 'bout EVERY SINGLE FUCKING SONG MORRISSEY HAS EVER WRITTEN INCLUDING THAT PIECE OF FUCKING SHIT "LAST NIGHT DREAMT THAT SOMEBODY LOVED ME".

― Evan (Evan), Friday, 9 May 2003 05:26 (twenty-two years ago)

Less Morrissey dissing already. < /septic>

and "How To Play your Internal Organs Overnight".

― CharlieNo4 (Charlie), Friday, 9 May 2003 05:31 (twenty-two years ago)

"I love the spirit world and I love your father" by The Fucking Champs.
"They have monkeys like we have squirrels" by Dianogah.

"the album title This Conversation is Ending Starting Right Now by mediocre indie bland Knapsack"

I agree with the greatness of the title, but disagree with the blandness of the band. On this record, anyway.

― Brandon Gentry (Brandon Gentry), Friday, 9 May 2003 11:19 (twenty-two years ago)

Fuck This Band by Mclusky's not that good.

― Ferg (Ferg), Friday, 9 May 2003 13:11 (twenty-two years ago)

"Love is a Battlefield"

― Ess, Friday, 9 May 2003 13:59 (twenty-two years ago)

"Funkier Than A Mosquito's Tweeter" by Ike and Tina

― Horace Mann (Horace Mann), Friday, 9 May 2003 14:03 (twenty-two years ago)

I think that Evan no longer has a right to be annoyed with my Strokes disdain if he's going to get that wrought up over said brilliant song "Last Night I Dreamt Somebody Loved Me," which makes all of whatever Julian and company done seem ultralame instead of just boring, but anyway. ;-)

― Ned Raggett (Ned), Friday, 9 May 2003 14:35 (twenty-two years ago)

'land of a thousand dances' is sadly not all that good. and is(as is surely an observational comedy cliche) actually 'land of about five dances'.

― adam b (adam b), Friday, 9 May 2003 15:05 (twenty-two years ago)

Yu cant fit a thousand dance on a 45 single. Now if you did a 12inch mix...that would work.

― Charles McCain (Charles McCain), Friday, 9 May 2003 16:17 (twenty-two years ago)

half-decent song, but I wish for more:
"They're All Out of Liquor, Let's Find Another Party" - Waitresses.

"Burning Airlines Gives You So Much More" - Eno

― Joe (Joe), Friday, 9 May 2003 19:03 (twenty-two years ago)

Wow, I love that song (Burning Airlines...).

― Hurlothrumbo (hurlothrumbo), Friday, 9 May 2003 19:05 (twenty-two years ago)

yeah, the Eno song's great.

― Jody Beth Rosen (Jody Beth Rosen), Friday, 9 May 2003 19:22 (twenty-two years ago)

Stereolab's all over the place with this one! "The Long Hair of Death" is not nearly as cool as it sounds.

― Fivvy (Fivvy), Friday, 9 May 2003 20:39 (twenty-two years ago)

Love is a Battlefield is a great title???

― oops (Oops), Friday, 9 May 2003 21:38 (twenty-two years ago)

How about "Stop Using Sex as a Weapon" then?

― Alex in NYC (vassifer), Friday, 9 May 2003 21:49 (twenty-two years ago)

beck's "asshole"

that's the best song on that album dammit

― Curt1s St3ph3ns, Friday, 9 May 2003 21:51 (twenty-two years ago)
