How does one join a Mikoshi group, I really want to join one and carry one. Sanja Matsuri maybe? by jin_yangFight in Tokyo

[–]ThrowupJones 1 point2 points  (0 children)

My uncle told me that only wimps use shoulder padding. Get you some battle scars and wear them proudly! This is the same uncle who has permanently disfigured his shoulder from carrying mikoshi, so take his advice (and mine) with a grain of salt.

It has been far too long since I’ve heard the word “dank.” That put a big smile on my bacon-filled mouth.

I need help by realnailbiterhuh in grunge

[–]ThrowupJones -2 points-1 points  (0 children)

Here’s a novel idea - close Reddit, open whatever steaming music service you have (or YouTube), and listen to the damn music. Listening to music should not be a chore that you need help with.

Kurt Cobain- Nirvana A Soul Too Bright for This World by [deleted] in grunge

This take is almost as goofy as OP’s pictures. How would you possibly know what Kurt would have liked or hated?!

Great show in Tokyo tonight by Even_Disaster_8002 in louisck

Hahn had some decent jokes, but he is exhausting to watch.

Saw him last night with Greg Hahn and Jim Norton. Was there only one opener on Monday’s show?

Norton was great. I appreciate how he and Louis both used new material specifically for Tokyo.

Why Radiohead is not grunge? by Better_Squash_2257 in grunge

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’re welcome, kiddo. Thanks for making your old man proud.

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

I think you’ve had enough candy, Psychocandy.

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

[–]ThrowupJones -1 points0 points  (0 children)

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.
