RONG 2

on ILM it'd be hard for any rookie to even sidle up to #2 or #3 for either distinction.

true dat.

TAKING SIDES: Steely Dan vs. The Circle Jerks

Masturbatory coffee-table jazz-rock noodlery for people with patches on the elbows of their corduroy blazers hanging out in wine bars or "I JUST WANT SOME SKANK".

Circle Jerks, obv.

I saw ALEX IN NYC today. He was "running late"

i'm positive i saw a photo of him on a WDYLL thread in which he was wearing a blazer with elbow patches

hahaha dude i think he was wearing one TODAY!!! XD

pipecock = the geir of detroit techno

ok i was wrong. but this cries out for elbow patches.

Right, but... that's the whole point, isn't it? The whole point is to dilute it so that there isn't any of the original substance left, just its "energy". So please debunk the "energy" theory, not the lack of chemically efficacious molecules.

ya it's one you to debunk that, rather than anyone to prove it.

This is probably the best opportunity to ever say this, but seriously, fuck "Blue Monday."

Curtis might be but I wager he heard the original first (JUST A HUNCH)

orgy's version came out in seventh or eighth grade for me so it must have been like 4th or 5th grade for crutis. i remember saying "wow they really captured that 80s sound!" to some older friends who just sort of looked at me in that way that feels like you got kicked in the nuts. after that i stopped talking about music for 4-5 years

was it not at least in trainspotting or some 90s hit film before being covered by orgy?

dude you can't be more than like 2 years older than me, don't pull that generation gap shit! anyway early-mid 90's modern rock radio played a shitload of New Order, and "Blue Monday" was always my least favorite of their songs, before any tainting by Orgy (or Rihanna).

as far as I can tell the biggest 90's soundtrack "Blue Monday" was on is The Wedding Singer lol

most of my similarly-aged friends agree Orgy's version is better

kraftwerk thought new order's setup wuz "primative"

dude you can't be more than like 2 years older than me, don't pull that generation gap shit!

hey I probably only knew New Order's first because I grabbed a used cassette of substance back in middle school. Figured your tastes as a teen ran harder than that.

the alternative to your tastes being tainted by orgy is that you're just RONG about the song, sorry I gave the benefit of the doubt.

as far as NO on the radio goes, I never would have suggested you knew Frente first.

hey, i knew the frente version first! and yet, strangely, i am at peace with that fact

You were mad into Frente iirc

doesn't frente! have an !?

I will admit it re: Frente!, yes. But I'd still rather be RONG than an Orgy-damaged n00b.

Curtis might be but I wager he heard the original first (JUST A HUNCH)

hee hee

actually the first version I heard was a MIDI version in a freeware pac-man game (but yeah, I heard New Order's before Orgy's)

interesting what pop-culture isolation in yr formative years does to your musical tastes

i mean if anthony won't stump for some wack nu metal band i don't see why anyone else would

I spend much of 1992 - 1995 downloading midi versions of alternative rock songs and changing the instruments around

Tarantino does this all the time, inserting long stretches of innocuous conversational dialogue - it ratchets up the tension because the viewer is both being made to think of the characters as normal, average boring people while at the same time eagerly anticipating the conversation's end to get to the "action". It makes the punctuated scenes of violence more surprising and more engaging. Its called pacing.

"Peaches" by the Presidents of the United States of America sounds better on "charang"
