'War Stories'
There's a lady plays her fav'rite records/On the jukebox ev'ry day/All day long she plays the same old songs/And she believes the things that they say/She sings along with all the saddest songs/And she believes the stories are real/She lets the music dictate the way that she feels.
(And I've actually never seen Prince of Thieves, but something tells me I should stay far, far away...)
Alan Rickman's a lot of fun, mainly because he's in a completely different movie from the rest of the actors. "Whee," says Alan Rickman to himself, "I can do all my scenery-chewing for the next five years in this puppy! Plus, I'm getting paid! Woo hoo!"
Didn't we have this same discussion a few months ago when there was another "worst song ever" list published somewhere? (and ob-la-di... was at or near the top of that one too, IIRC)
Yes. I was the one who posted the link, because I was happy that the song I hate above all others ("We Built This City") was the number one worst song ever.
"Mambo No. 5." The very mention still causes spontaneous seppuku among mambo lovers.
As opposed to seppuku planned in advance?
Oh, Shogun, could you come over on Tuesday? I'm planning on killing myself. Nothing formal, I thought a few hors d'oeuvres, maybe a geisha or two. RSVP.
I have no worst song nominees at the moment, though I will note that hatin' on Dolly and Aerosmith will get you nowhere with me.
I'd like to see Metallica do a song like "Dude Looks Like A Lady."
Cool Thing!
Just found out that our editor at Routledge, Richard Carlin, played concertina on the Shoot Out the Lights tour with Richard and Linda Thompson. How fucking cool is that?
NYistas!
Book event in your city tonight: Steve Wynn (of Dream Syndicate) playing an entire set of Flamin' Groovies songs. It'll be very cool.
How fucking cool is that?

That is very fucking cool.
Whatever that song was by Nelly and... Kelly Preston, maybe? Came out a couple of years ago, lots of "aaoouuuwww"s in the chorus?
ACK. That song bugged the crap out of me because the chorus is something like "even when I'm with my boo, all I think about is you." I wanted to scream at the both of them to dump their "boos", hook up, and quit singing about a problem they're BRINGING ON THEMSELVES.
I may take song lyrics a tad too literally.

Hey now, I'm not an Aerosmith-hata. That song just makes me want to jump off a bridge.

No, that's part of what bugged me about the song, too. Also, use of the word "boo" for boyfriend? Gag. But it's really the "aaaooouuuuww"s in the chorus that drive me over the edge. Make it stop!
Oh, hey, speaking of the mix trade -- does anyone who's willing to pass it on have the .MP3 of "Song for Whoever," from Kate's mix?
I do. Email me - profile address is fine.
