GM's thread about nothing (4 Viewers)

[Tremendous Upside]

I stayed in Bakersfield for 3 nights back in 1996 to attend the Tulare Ag Show.

Not familiar with them, what did they sing?

 

[St. Louis Bob]

I'm so lost when you guys talk about music acts. Somebody PM me if you get around to Led Zeppelin, Jefferson Airplane, REO Speedwagon etc.

Well that's your problem. You were like 60 miles away. Who was your travel agent? Ray Charles?

 

[McJose]

Never heard of Cowboy Mouth either.

If you didn't live in Texas, Louisiana or Mississippi, you probably missed them.

Nope. Dodged all three of those bullets.

Yeah, you certainly made out landing in Bakersfield.

Bakersfield: Suck it, Modesto!

I went to college with a guy from Merced. He said growing up they wished they could move to Modesto.

One of my old roommates actually moved to Bakersfield to attend junior college.

We can talk about how much Speedwagon sucks if you'd like.

Pretty sure the agent advised me to stay in Bakersfield for safety reasons, not to mention their massive airport facilities.

But you have to admit the Ag-Expo was pretty impressive.

Yeah, as if I wasn't out of water enough in Bakersfield, they stuck me square in the middle of this thing and had me talk tractors with strangers. I felt like Doug Llewelyn introducing Nirvana.

I think the undead version of REO Speedwagon played before the Steelers/Seahawks game last week.

This seems kind of obvious, but that was a really great album. Production was too shiny IMO, but those songs were really good.Durr, right?

 

[Keys Myaths]

Throwing one of my buddies under the bus... here are his favorite bands:Better Than Ezra

My favorite band.What of it?

 

[Aaron Rudnicki]

Ezra must really suck.

 

[General Malaise]

my college gf loved Better than Ezra...she played it so much I grew a mangina my senior year.

 

[Bogart]

Ezra must really suck.

I have used this joke TOO many times.

They should have gone with Albini

 

[Keys Myaths]

Ezra must really suck.

That's supposedly the story. They were in some battle of the bands concert, didn't have a name, and followed a band named Ezra that got booed off the stage.

That's his favorite band too. Seems... odd.

 

[McJose]

I just spent the last 5 minutes trying to think of one Better than Ezra song. I thought I had it with "Breakfast at Tiffany's" but it turns out that was by the aforementioned Deep Blue Something

Good, Desperately Wanting, Closer, Misunderstood, A Lifetime (my favorite), Juicy (bleh), etc.

It's probably my rebellion from not being invited to Party Barge 7.

None of those rings any kind of a bell. Seriously.ETA: Just looked up "Good". I want to set my ears on fire now.

I only know "Good." That they're the kind of band that would entitle a song "Good" tells you all you need to know.

I'll pull some strings and get you on the invite list. Should be early June 2013. And you two probably graduated high school in 2000 or 2001, so it makes some sense you like the same band. They were popular during your impressionable teen years.

Only band I know that used the lyrica "WAH HAAAAH"

Geffen prepared an alternate cover without the penis, as they were afraid that it would offend people, but relented when Cobain made it clear that the only compromise he would accept was a sticker covering the penis that would say, "If you're offended by this, you must be a closet pedophile."

I was just at the Nirvana exhibit at the Experience Music Project on Sunday, and they have the original copy of the photo with the handwritten note, "If anyone has a problem with his ####, we can remove it. We can take out the pool bottom and just make it blue water."

This thread now has more discussion of Better than Ezra than the rest of the internet combined.

If that was me I'd just walk around with my mule hanging out all day.

I like Everclear.

Of course you do.

I'm going to just pretend he meant the alcoholic beverage

 

[Bob Sacamano]

So. I've decided I'm just vain enough to dye my hair. Anyone have any experience with the Just For Men or other similar products?

sorry about that whole Mrs. Urlacher thing...

 

[-fish-]

I was searching to see if there were any Better than Ezra songs I know (there aren't). When I accidentally ran into Hooters--All You Zombies, with one of the worst/most absurd lyrics ever--"Yeah they were the Israelites!"

 

[Bob Sacamano]

Must be a Bob thing imo.

 

[BRONG]

Woke up to a nightmare a little while ago. Nuclear holocaust. I was in a remote place with others but we found out about the first missile while it was still in the air. Can't remember where it came from exactly. But all hell broke lose when a second one from that same country headed towards Japan and, while missing its big city target, still did the trick. Japan launched theirs immediately and the dominoes began to fall. The sky started lighting up and we all knew it was over. I started roaming around and stuff...got sidetracked by taking a friend's dog to play in a river, but then had to help it out of there for him. This had nothing to do with the canine, but also ended up having to get out of an area in this rushing river where I was starting to get trapped by rising water (deep fear of mine, drowning/suffocation). But I pulled it off and after that I'm kind of on a path in this field with a few others, crossing it, just below a fence. We round the fence and start to go uphill. I come up on this one chick who was smoking the end of a doobie. Some guy had shared it with her, but she was not really hitting it. I kinda hinted to her about taking a bigger rip but she took that to mean I wanted some, which I didn't. Anyway, bizarre and a bit unnerving. Can't believe I didn't want any.

 

[dharmapunk]

Oh you know who else really sucks? Primus.

Alright motherf!@cker. Enough's enough. It's go time.

 

[mr. furley]

whole lotta awful music being discussed on page 431

you white people need to get out more

 

[dharmapunk]

I would rather do it with any of you than Natalie Merchant. Not that there's anything particularly unattractive about her, but she's so bland and dull and milquetoast. I imagine her bush looks like a shrub in the dead of winter.

Yeah, she's pretty homely. I do like some of her music, though. Sorry.Actually saw 10,000 Maniacs with World Party in 1992 and enjoyed it.

I just lost a lot of respect for one of my iheros. Let's contrast GM with DP in 1992 -I saw --Rollins Band-Ministry-Red Hot Chili Peppers -Primus (f!@k you, Tanner)- Nine Inch Nails twice (NIN is still my favorite band; I would go gay for Reznor, given the right about of alcohol and fingering foreplay.)

Write him about your stomach issues and let him know he can help a fan with a medical issue. Call it the Make a Swish Foundation or something.

Anybody remember The Samples? Love them. Playing in Chicago at Lincoln Hall on September 30th. Should be a great show.

Rollins is always so hit-and-miss for me. I've found the Rollins Band to be just too overwrought and wanky for my tastes. But I think he's a really interesting cat in interviews/spoken word.I liked State of Alert.

Probably only those of us in the Colorado music scene in the late 80s and early 90s GB.

Agree. He's one of the worst singers, but he can write decent lyrics now and then and when the band came together, he produced an ok song or two. End of Silence was a 'decent' album. I dig spoken words too. Been to a few. Took one of my classes to one. Got some pics and chat time with the guy. He's very edgy and hard but nice and accessible at the same time. I know that doesn't make sense, but there it is.ETA: he does put on a kick a@@ live show though. Or he did before he hung up the gloves.
