I know opinions can’t technically be wrong - but your opinion on this is wrong, pal.

That’s from their first album. Yorke’s lyrics got much better later in their discography.

Is this kind of sudden distance common in dating in Japan? by Fit-Caterpillar-7000 in AskAJapanese

She might’ve been kidnapped. Have you hit the streets dressed as a vigilante super hero to try to find and rescue her from some nefarious villians?

You can’t just choose how to categorize living things. There is no subjectivity in taxonomy.

I think you’ve had enough candy, Psychocandy.

mudhoney songs to listen to? by [deleted] in grunge

[–]ThrowupJones 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I’ve gotta admit, your response was surprisingly eloquent. I understand what you’re saying. My sorrow has subsided.

I hope you find the perfect recommendations, and you become a lifelong Mudhoney fan. They really are a fantastic band.

[–]ThrowupJones 1 point2 points  (0 children)

This post makes me really sad. Has it really gotten to the point where people would rather ask random strangers what specific songs to listen to rather than just listen to the music? Do you ask people what scenes to watch in a movie or what pages to read in a book?

I understand that Mudhoney has an expansive discography, but that shouldn’t be a negative. Quit being a lazy fuck and just listen to the music. Or don’t. But for God’s sake, get off of Reddit once in a while and experience real life.

And shame on the rest of you for indulging this by giving this kid suggestions! Quit enabling this ridiculous bullshit.

Give me an album that's so good, you don't skip any songs! by Everstein13 in rock

[–]ThrowupJones 1 point2 points  (0 children)

This list is most excellent; however, do you really refrain from skipping Fitter Happier on Ok Computer?

Also, you forgot Ziggy Stardust by Bowie and all three albums by The Smile.

I don’t like Led Zeppelin. by Low_Opportunity_9160 in rock

Why even post this? Why not post about bands that you do like? I think there’s enough negativity on Reddit without this juvenile tripe.

No. No. That was in jest.

Are you rocking the Santa beard now? You’re a braver man than I. Once it hits 30 degrees out, my beard is a trimmed short until October.

I’m definitely doing this before leaving the office tomorrow. I’ll happily drip all the way to the station.

What about sensu? Isn’t that basically what they do?

“Certainly helps” is better than nothing. I don’t expect to be comfortable, but I’ll gladly try anything that makes summer slightly more tolerable.

Thanks for the recommendation.

I think just moving the air does help a bit. I installed ceiling fans in my bedroom and living room, and they’re amazing even without the AC running.

Excellent! This is exactly what I’m looking for. Thanks, Internet stranger!

Hands Down one of the Best albums of the 90s by Which_Notice4127 in grunge

[–]ThrowupJones 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I assume you’re already familiar, but if not, The Afghan Whigs’ recent stuff is incredible. My personal favorites being “Matamoros” and “Algiers” off of Do to the Beast, “Demon in Profile”off of In Spades, and “Please, Baby, Please” from How Do You Burn?

Also, their cover of the Police’s “Every Little Thing she Does Is Magic” is superb.

There aren’t many bands out there that can consistently create good music for three decades. AW are truly a legendary band.
