I remember people saying unlikable characters and agree that's never a factor for me either.  But swearing?  Adult humans are worried about too much swearing?  :lol:

The complaints are the characters are all unlikable, it’s loud with lots of swearing and it’s too intense. I thought those things made it really good.

The Pleasure Principle - Gary Numan (1979)

... there's that year again

looking back now, some 40 years later, this was such a natural progression from Kraftwerk to Bowie's "Low" to this - but when i first heard Kraftwerk it was "kinda weird" ...  "Low" was a surprise, but it was Bowie bein' Bowie (his genius was never shocking) ... but this, this Gary Numan platter?  this was ####### alien 👽

yep, "Cars" is here, and it's one of the landmark songs of this mossy era - still sends a shiver after 40 yrs, and enough to wanna take this wherever i'm heading  - the synth barrage is as lethal as any guitar - likewise throughout much of the other 38 minutes on the album - he can be called "one hit wonder" to many, but his influence reached out to many genres and artists ... this was a watershed event as we hit the eve of the 80s. 

nothing sounded like this, the production made use of techniques that i hadn't heard used together before -  there was a chilling minimalism to post punk, this brushed on that ambiance via lyric content, and a foreboding air of "wtf" permeated throughout ... like A.I. had control of this whole friggin' affair - claustrophobic and bizarre a.f.

visionary cat here ... lotta love for this piece of work.

I was humming Cars a few days ago.  It's always on XM.  Great tune.

because the picks have passed you by - you have been skipped

your turn has come and gone in the 34th rd

at least one person that has their turn after you in that rd is now able to pick 

that would enable you to make your 34th rd pick at your leisure

34.18 - Murray St. - Sonic Youth (2002)

Previously drafted at 8.05 by @Bonzai (Daydream Nation)

Daydream Nation is a more important and probably better album but this is my favorite Sonic Youth record and definitely better suited for a small island IMO.

It's their first album post 9/11 and their second after Jim O'Rourke joined the group.  I guess you could say it's a quieter and calmer SY but they're still capable of bringing great noise.

Mom had this album when I was growing up, and I loved it. Still do.  "When Will I Be Loved" is on the record, which most would know, but I'm going to put a song on it that I think Wicked Wikki would like cause JD Souther wrote it, and he loves him some JD.  It's a nice song with a slow bango weaving through it. JD also sings a bit on the song. This album also has the great Hank Williams cover of I Can't Help It (If I'm Still In Love with You), which she does with Emmy Lou. I also love "Keep Me From Blowing Away" and more. All the songs are good on it.

I didn’t think anyone took this and was lining up for next. Great choice!

I wanted to watch something in June, but I don't remember what it is. I made a note, and can't find it. Maybe it's Laurel Canyon on EPIX. I'll tape it anyway since Ep.1 comes back on at 1:40 am. It doesn't seem like that is what it was, but I'll watch that anyway.

Unpopular opinion but this is probably my favorite spoon

I listened to this album over the weekend but went with Jackson Browne instead. 

There are so many great songs on the album and Ronstadt can sing anything.

I'm embarrassed to ask this, but what was your second shtick, between the compilations and the deep mining?

It’s not what Adam Sandler usually does which is why I think there was so many negative reviews.

I'm not sure if I've ever seen a "usual" Sandler movie, but Punch Drunk Love was fantastic.

Maybe a movie club theme?  Actors in unusual roles for them?  I.e., Jim Carrey in Eternal Sunshine, this, etc.?  Of course, last time I inadvertently suggested a theme, it was a disaster.

that "Sunday Times Crossword Puzzle" theme had no choice but to crash and burn

I have a theory that she is obsessed with becoming president and hasn't given up.  She is "biding" her time until the Dems realize that she is their best hope and beg her to come on board as VP.  Also becomes the best "fill-in" if they decide Joe becomes to much of a liability (health/voter questioning health).

The winds don't seem to be blowing the flames in her direction right now.
