today is the day it finally happenned. we all knew it was coming.
all Clash all the time.

These two alone would make my day. I haven't heard Sandinista in over 15 years. It's one of those CDs I keep meaning to buy. Two straight up masterpieces right there.

 

[chronic]

Y'know, I always thought that Sandinista! would make a great double-album. It always seemed to me that it was two parts masterpiece to one part filler. London Calling is perfect as is.

 

[Black Swan]

When we all get together,
for the third annual Bukowski dot Net reunion,
I nominate hoochmonkey9 to be DJ

I'll second this post

I thought the same thing when it came out, but now I don't know what I'd cut. I'm glad to be able to hear things like Rebel Waltz, as un-Clash-like (to coin a clumsy phrase) as it may be. And some of the instrumental stuff...I don't know. It's a long listen, but it's like a trip to somewhere. Not sure where. Not Nicaragua, despite the title.

I always liked what Mick Jones had to say about Sandinista! (paraphrase):
It's an album for oil rig workers and people stationed in Antarctica who can't get to the record store every week.

and I don't know what I would cut from that album either, but I've never really warmed up to Hitsville, U.K. don't know why.
but yes, a masterpiece.

and I'll gladly co-DJ anywhere.

Well, I lived in Minnesota when it came out. Same thing as being stationed in Antarctica.

I love the Clash and have serious doubts about Sandinista but no doubt about HoochMonkey dj'ing anything I'd attend.

A couple of korean people at the library on the computers next too me, they're carrying on about kimchi, it's giving me the shits.

 

[ROC]

Kimchi rocks!
It was breakfast for me in Hong Kong.

Tell the SHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!!

 

[mjp]

I lived with a Korean/American girl for a few years, and if I never smell kimchi again it will be too soon. Her mother made the stuff and buried it in the yard in a clay pot for some ridiculous period of time before they ate it. It always smelled like boiling dirty diapers to me. But I am a round eye, so what do I know.

Let's break this thread wide open.

is not an isolated incident.

 

[Gerard K H Love]

That is a much coveted job in Japan, it's the only way to cop a feel on a stranger and get away with it. ALso the job qualifies them as massaage therapists or chiropractors. Really.

 

[Spinbowler]

That's funny, when I was over there it happened to me all the time. The old ladies were the best, they'd let fly with the hand bag sometimes and you'd get caught in the elbows and the shin kicks, and then on board everything went quiet. I guess you could call it a kind of massage, I felt relief when I finally got on.

 

[mjp]

Looks like a train headed to a concentration camp. No thanks.

[Digney in Burnaby]

Jerry Lee Lewis at the Starclub, 1964. Only learned recently that the Nashville Teens were the backing band for that gig.

 

[vodka]

I am listening to Amy Winehouse.

Love her or hate her, the woman can write a mean song.



...anyone care to dance?

 

[vodka]

gawd! quick mod!

and i even searched the forum too!!!

nice post edit though. thank you mods.

 

[Digney in Burnaby]

Badfinger, Wish You Were Here. A few months ago, while at work, a riff and a lyric came into my head. Couldn't figure it out. Almost desperate as it was an ear worm worth searching for. It's amazing how the brain can isolate something until it is almost a remix of the actual thing and then play it over and over. Buggered if a listen to the lp now can solve why it was really important to me a couple months ago. But I know it's here. And hear.

The same thing happened to me today. Strangely, the theme music from The Dating Game popped into my head (and it's still rattling around in there).

 

[Digney in Burnaby]

I've had the theme to the old Brit situation comedy On The Buses pop into my head for the last few weeks. Probably because it's being rerun on the tube here and I'm taping it to watch it. "You're going to get the sack this time Butler!", or so says Blakey.

[hank solo]

"Oh its a great life On The Buses!"

Classic.

:eek: I 'ate you Butler!


Listening to Super Furry Animals - Guerrilla LP.
