The genius of TMBG is that they can produce a smoking electropop song that also teases club culture.

Absolutely one of my faves. I put it on tons of playlists, either people get the gag and enjoy the song or... don't get the gag, and enjoy the song.

Dylan, of course. A powerful meditation on loss that turned out to be an earworm to boot. My old band did a hardcore punk version of the song (after the first verse which we did in an arch Dylan style with me doing weird harmonica shit). Great song.

A bit late to this, and lots of thoughtful conversation. Just wanted to react to Doc's generally correct point about contextualizing this behavior in its place in the 60s/70s (well, 1980, but same point). I get that, but reading the alleged account, it seems the victim objected to Jones's actions (a...

One of Trump's leading VP candidates is a literal dog murderer: https://twitter.com/KatiePhang/status/1783881929718108184 Disclaimer: as with all 2024 election posts, I don't mean to necessarily imply a relative moral standing between Republicans and Democrats, or that anyone should vote for a Democ...

I know other forums have the option to have specific sub forums be for registered members (or full members vs new members or whatever). I don't know how much of a PIA that would be for Inder to turn the downloads/request line subforum into a members only forum or whatever, but I would support that o...

On the subject of novels, has any artist/musician actually ever written a novel that is even half decent? I tried both Steve Earle and Nick Caves efforts and did not get far with either. I did have some hopes for Julian Copes book and actually finished it, but can't say I particularly liked it whic...

I hate this thread so much.

Give those hernias hell, Sparky!

(Get and be well, man)

Seriously though, while there'll be a not insignificant outpouring of joy at Blairs death, i can't see it even remotely comparing to Thatchers. There'll be much more nuance for a start, like think of all the good stuff he did. For the past decade and more, Blair has been amassing a huge fortune, co...

I don't usually take pictures of my food.

I don't either, except this thread title kinda baits you in.
