Joanna Newsom is gay

― SMELLY MY... (Thor), Tuesday, 14 June 2005 18:30 (twenty years ago)

no, i'm pretty sure she's shacked up with bill callahan, and that they probably have heterosexual sex a lot.

― hstencil (hstencil), Tuesday, 14 June 2005 18:32 (twenty years ago)

seriously the only thing wrong with the first sugarcubes record is the somewhat dated production, the songs and execution are great.

― hstencil (hstencil), Tuesday, 14 June 2005 18:36 (twenty years ago)

Don't be mean. i started that PSB thread!

― the D Double signal (nordicskilla), Tuesday, 14 June 2005 18:38 (twenty years ago)

that sugarcubes record has 2 good songs on it. THAT IS ALL.

― ddb (ddb), Tuesday, 14 June 2005 18:38 (twenty years ago)

it's got a couple more than two. maybe six.

― hstencil (hstencil), Tuesday, 14 June 2005 18:41 (twenty years ago)

i've never really been a fan of pet shop boys or eurasure or depeche mode or any of that stuff, but adam, you really need to hear the "O" Records greatest hits double lp i have. it's got West End Girls on it, but the rest of the record is wicked

― [that bastard] jaxon (jaxon), Tuesday, 14 June 2005 18:46 (twenty years ago)

I don't like Erasure or Depeche Mode.

There's a good bit in "Rollerderby" where Lisa complains about Callahan flashing his dick a bit while getting out of the shower while they were roommates.

There's a good G Love album, I swear to GOD! Oddly enough, I think it's whichever album has the most douchebagular title.

A lot of great bands on this thread, especially the Pet Shop Boys.

Depeche Mode are okay.

― Super-8 Movie Shoot in the Chinese Quarter (nordicskilla), Tuesday, 25 October 2005 14:31 (twenty years ago)

I don't like Erasure or Depeche Mode.

I take this back because Violator is good.

― Super-8 Movie Shoot in the Chinese Quarter (nordicskilla), Tuesday, 25 October 2005 14:32 (twenty years ago)

i wont listen to QOTSA. nope. i dont buy it.

i heard apples in stereo once. it won't happen again.

― bb (bbrz), Tuesday, 25 October 2005 14:45 (twenty years ago)

I still have the Artificial Joy Club CD (and not in storage, either!) It is great! But the new Ashlee album is even better! Here is what I posted on the 2005 country thread yesterday, but I'm reposting it here since (1) Ashlee fans and/or enemies may not likely look at that thread and (2) Ashlee doesn't have much to do with country, I guess:

---

By the way (not sure when this turned into the rolling post-teen-pop thread, but what the hell), I am i am playing the new Ashlee Simpson CD now and it is GREAT. First song and single, "Boyfriend," is now officially my favorite Franz Ferdinand song ever. No kidding, that's who its music sounds like, except with a really good singer for a change. Other parts, I'm thinking Stevie Nicks and Courtney Love a LOT, but also, like, "Broken English" by Marianne Faithful, or, well, what was that sleazy Deborah Allen rock-disco song in the '80s? Wow.
-- xhuxk (xedd...), October 20th, 2005.

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Her music rocks the disco like Stevie's '80s solo stuff never did, I think, but like I always *wanted* it to. And she has more dance in her music than Courtney ever did, obviously. I am blown away.
-- xhuxk (xedd...), October 20th, 2005.

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

I mean, shit - Kim Carnes, Bonnie Tyler...I'm 95 percent sure that none of them ever made an album anywhere NEAR this good. I don't want to jinx it or anything, but this could end up being my album of the year. Just about every track ROCKS, and the ballads really seem to kick, too. (Weird, I saw Ashlee on SNL a couple weeks ago and that mature pseudo-classy whine weep tune she did bored me to tears; I did not have high hopes for this album at all.) (And by the way, Deborah Allen's biggest hits were COUNTRY hits, and Trick Pony covered "It's a Heartache" this year, so Ashlee can count as country if you want.)
Deborah Allen still looks pretty sleazy by the way:

-- xhuxk (xedd...), October 20th, 2005.

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Hardest rocking Ashlee track MIGHT be "Coming Back For More," or might not. But the only one that turns into Led Zeppelin's "Trampled Under Foot" at the end, as far as I can tell so far, is "L.O.V.E."
xp

-- xhuxk (xedd...), October 20th, 2005.

-- xhuxk (xedd...), Friday 9:09 AM. (later)

oops, left out these:

Also, "Catch Me When I Fall" reminds me "Cold Chills" by Kix, for some reason (the melody and open spaces and cold chilliness of it, probably). And "Burnin Up" reminds me of "Burning Up" by Madonna (the new wave evolved into rock-disco burning-uppishness of it, probably.) And the title track "I Am Me", while definitely not the hardest rocking track, is probably the most blatantly Courtney-grungey one.
xp

-- xhuxk (xedd...), October 20th, 2005.

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

By the way, what I really meant to say about Ashlee's ballads isn't so much that they "kick" (which is not to say that they don't), but that there's generally a really visceral lushness and throb to them; they aren't just shrinking violets wilting behind the rock woodwork.
