If Music Could Talk

I heard this clunker at the gas station this morning: But Oz never did give nothing to the Tin Man That he didn't, didn't already have And 'cause never was the reason for the evening Or the tropic of Sir Galahad So please believe in me When I say I'm spinning 'round, 'round, 'round, 'round Smoke gla...

With an acknowledgment that we all age... this is kind of rough. She still sounds good on this version from 2009: It might not be fair to compare this against the Nocturne version (complete with Robert Smith on guitar)... but... Agreed, it's kind of rough, but that goes with the territory when you ...

I've always found it interesting that early on in his solo days... Morrissey didn't immediately cut ties with his former bandmates. Take a look at who is backing him on this video: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Bk1wUKoXL20 I see Rourke, Joyce, and Gannon. Andy Rourke even threw his hat in the ring...

This observation belongs in the rape van: I am very on the record for hating be true to your school, dorky ass shit when it was released and truly vile that they keep performing it as fuckin' crypt keeper old 90 year olds or whatever, but i'm listening to Spirit of America right now (killer comp) a...

My shitty town didn't get a 7-11 until, I'm gonna say, 1985, and originally the slurpee and big gulp machines were behind the counter, so the flunkee had to make them for you. I can't help but think that they thought we were a bunch trailer trash yahoos who wouldn't know how to fill our own cup. Wh...

Hello,

I think Icee is a separate, stand-alone product - I recall Circle-K stores having them. Slurpee is exclusive to 7/11.

Wawa sells Icees. I've also seen them in Walmart and Target.

Happy Belated!!

I literally can't remember the last time I had a slurpee. High school no doubt, but even at my most "who gives a fuck what I'm putting in my body" it just never appealed. Guess I just always preferred the treat the 90s invented: the otter pop 😎 I feel like the Slurpee is a lesser Icee. Perhaps I wa...

Played on the first 3 albums by the Saints - which are all near perfect.

I've been binge watching Halt and Catch Fire. It's a really good show, though I think it flew somewhat under the radar. Think Mad Men set in the rough and tumble days of tech startup in the early '80s. It even features its own Don Draper-esque figure: morally ambiguous, but fascinating. The history ...

Trying to send like 10 bucks to an American band via PayPal because BandCamp screwed up international shipping costs: - log in to my account - it's asking me to confirm via my UK phone number - spend an hour trying to find my UK SIM - confirm and log in - UK credit card associated with account expi...

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gk8tiS6MqGM Guns n Roses filmed this show in 1991 post-Adler, pre-Izzy exodus and didn't release it until 2018. Regardless of what you think about the band/song/etc, this footage looks spectacular - close ups, distant shots, slow pans, quick cuts, lots of fan shots (...

Happy Birthday, Doc!! You truly keep this place moving with your boundless insight into just about everything.

I'm pretty sure nobody needs the Extra Double Large Big Gulp. I'm not sure if 7-Eleven has international locations, but if they do - I'm certain they only market this product in the United States. Related content, I saw an ad where 7-11 says they'll deliver your slurpee to your door. (a) No way it ...
