How can this tape contain 7 Moody Blues songs and not have "Wildest Dreams" on it. This is an outrage!

lol @ papa ginos tho

I was shopping next door, I swear!

there were like 10 or 15 other tapes and CDs with it, just lying there on a grassy island along with a can of corn and some other junk. I remember Alice In Chains Jar of Flies and another homemade tape with "HAL ROACH: IRISH COMEDY" written on the cover.

I voted for Kirsty MacColl bcuz of unexpected awesomeness. I thought the singer was Twinkle "Golden Lights" Ripley for about 30 seconds. fuck 20 minutes of the Moody Blues tho.

some friends and i had a joke abt papa ginos but it just consisted of saying it in a funny way sort of 'puppa gino' w/v clipped vowels, its fun

ha, I moved from NH to Mass the year before last. I last ate at Papa Gino's a few months ago, not gonna like. I feel like I was kinda brainwashed into thinking it was a friendly community joint because I had my 5th birthday party there (everyone did, for some reason) and got to toss pizza dough with my friends. thin, floury crust iirc.

I ate at the Papa Gino's in Charlestown once many moons ago. It was not a pleasant dining experience.

(✿◠‿◠) (ENBB), Friday, 6 July 2012 20:27 (twelve years ago) link

ive said puppa gino to myself like a hundred times since making that post btw, i would eat there if someone walked in and invited me right now

lag∞n, Friday, 6 July 2012 20:28 (twelve years ago) link

papa gino's isn't great but my roommate insists that it's worse than papa john's or dominos which has become a major point of contention

ciderpress, Friday, 6 July 2012 20:29 (twelve years ago) link

Today at lunch I found out that there is a pizza place chain called something I can't remember but they're shaped like giant mushrooms! I wish we had those here.

(✿◠‿◠) (ENBB), Friday, 6 July 2012 20:30 (twelve years ago) link

you can also say puppa johns which is kinda how that guy says it in the commercial, not quite as fun but still p good

lag∞n, Friday, 6 July 2012 20:31 (twelve years ago) link

Oh it was Mellow Mushroom but I think I was lied to as GIS is not returning any mushroom shaped locations. :(

theres this pizza chain where i come from where the pizza is served from little huts, literally handing you pizzas out of a lil hut, theres just a guy and pizza oven in there and like a fridge and some parm

OTM, I wonder what this guy's haircut looks like and whether she can even handle it. And does he button his shirt up all the way to the top.

I'll tell you what, he missed a trick not putting Comus - 'Diana' on there...

man i hope no tapes i made ever just end up on the ground outside, what a sad referendum on the way i spent ninety minutes. maybe she thought consecutive tracks by a single artist was sorta a cop out.

blossom smulch (schlump), Friday, 6 July 2012 21:43 (twelve years ago) link

LOL when I first just scanned the handwritten titles I was like 'So Deep Within You? That's a bit forward, no?' but then I was like 'oh, Moody Blues, never mind it's just a metaphor or w/e'.

Lewis Apparition (Jon Lewis), Friday, 6 July 2012 21:48 (twelve years ago) link

why are we assuming "to love somebody" is michael bolton?

I listened to this shit and found out the hard way :(

did a lot of American prog dudes start paying attention to the Fairport Convention (or just British folk-rock in general) in the mid-'70s? I feel like this guy probably never heard Unhalfbricking or Liege & Lief, but he must have had more than a passing interest in the group if he was familiar with Sandy Denny's solo work. it's weird that "Candle in the Wind" is off of a Sandy Denny album that wasn't released in the US until 1986.
