Well, there's this guy I know in Orange County.

i hate creed and moby.

Yeah, I've heard about that guy, Arthur. Absolute genius when it comes to appreciating great music, I gather!

Ok, I've gotta say that when I first heard them, I hated them. The songs all sound the same, the lyrics are the worst, and the singer's skills are, well, limited. But for some reason they're really growing on me. "Black Market Music" has a bunch of riffs that I just can't get out of my head, and yesterday I bought a used copy of "Without You I'm Nothing", which features the dreaded "Pure Morning", quoted above. It's not as good as the new one, and I do have a little embarassment listening to it knowing the do kind of suck, but I'm liking it all the same. I mean, what's next, Gary Numan??

Well, hopefully.

Wait, forget that, Sean, you're supposed to go out and get Loveless! There's this guy I know in Orange County who really likes it. And you will, too. It's magnificent!

― Arthur, Sunday, 4 November 2001 01:00 (twenty-three years ago)

Yeah, yeah, that guy, Ned. I especially like how he doesn't get all SHOUTY about it. He does have that evil twin that shows up from time to time though.

Ever Placebo a friend? Are Placebo friends electric?

― Arthur, Sunday, 4 November 2001 01:00 (twenty-three years ago)

I knew a guy who really dug Placebo. He was also really into the Frogs too though, so I don't know. Go down to your local "Rocky Horror" theater and watch it through a couple of times, then go back and give Placebo another listen.

I hate to admit to knowing this, but the line above is terribly misquoted. I mean, at least give the man credit for trying to be witty: "A friend in need is a friend indeed; a friend with weed is better."

i enjoy their gender fuck, it's kinkily cool.

You're either a Placebo person or a Daphne & Celeste person. I happen to be a Daphne & Celeste-r.

― Nicole, Monday, 5 November 2001 01:00 (twenty-three years ago)

Both versions appear in the song, Nitsuh, along with other strokes of genius like "my Japanese is better." I think the "bleeds" one comes first.

nicole - daphne & celeste do indeed rule supreme and placebo are truly repulsive. it wouldn't be so bad if they had tunes or maybe lyrics worth a damn or roy orbison on vocals.

― bob snoom, Monday, 5 November 2001 01:00 (twenty-three years ago)

Daphne and Celeste should be cool. But they're not, though I blame their producers, who have tin ears, and not them.
