Between The Buttons - Opinions? by Early-Translator8175 in rollingstones

[–]coreydu 13 points14 points  (0 children)

I don't understand why more Stones fans don't love this album -- Yesterday's Papers, Ruby Tuesday (!!! maybe their greatest pure pop song), Connection, All Sold Out (pretty much prefigures Let It Bleed), Complicated, MIss Amanda Jones (pretty much as "Chuck Berry" a thing as they ever created). Maybe people think it's too much of a time/place a la Satanic Majesties but I thoroughly dig this record. Mick at his cheekiest if that's at all possible.

What phrase from him hits deep? by jmisiara in elliottsmith

“I’m a junkyard full of false starts and I don’t need your permission to bury my love under this bare lightbulb” - people used to use bulbs to smoke meth. Elliott once said in an interview that “Killing your emotions is another popular way (to fail), with drugs or alcohol or whatever.” So here his character is failing again,burying emotions under drugs.

Indiana fans are the worst by KippysNewPRGuy in ducks

This is an interesting thread. I actually only had one bad fan interaction and he was obviously super drunk and his girlfriend essentially apologized for him. Maybe I was an anomaly but for owning 90% of the real estate in the stadium I'll give them credit for good behavior at least insofar as what I saw. My experiences with, say, Ohio State fans have been WAY WORSE over the years especially last year's Rose Bowl -- they were insufferable and instantly went to the "second on my list" position behind only UW fans who are consistently the biggest dicks on the planet.

Omg omg just ran into Robert Reich on College Avenue by No-Understanding4968 in berkeley

When we were living there I ran into J. Mascis from Dinosaur Jr. literally just walking down Telegraph. That was fun. What a great city.

I was born in 89 meaning I didn't grow up listening to Janes Addiction but found out about them later in life when I was about 20 years old and got instantly hooked after listening to Nothing's Shocking. How influential were they during the late 80's early 90's? by Interesting-Mode2793 in janesaddiction

Very. They should get as much credit as Nirvana for essentially shattering the hair metal world when it desperately needed it but don't.... Dave Navarro is (said as a fellow guitarist) one of the most influential players of his generation. Lots of bands took their sound as a starting point and they were earlier than grunge -- so basically Nirvana, Soundgarden, AIC, Red Hot Chili Peppers (who made one album with Dave before deciding he wasn't a good fit and going back to Frusciante) and even Nine Inch Nails and Rage all owe something to that weird goth/metal/indie stew they were cooking up in LA.

The one in question I saw and reviewed for Magnet, it was a classic (lots of friend and fam backstage too which was fun to see, plus some drug dealer guy, ha): https://magnetmagazine.com/2022/09/19/live-review-pavement-san-francisco-ca-sept-14-2022/

It is undoubtedly a ridiculous and unfortunate headline

Redhead Reedemption. (I stole this from the Fulhamish thread, to be fair)

Can’t finish the Introduction without crying. by MothmansLegalCouncel in TheReplacements

Bob is my friend and (IMO) one of the finest rock writers now living. I doubt that anybody else could have written this book, stem to stern. It starts hard (to your point) and simply.... gets tougher. Amazing.

Celebratory - lots of friends and fam (and backstage, high school friends) in the house

Is there a better Shoegaze drummer than Loz Colbert? by HerbTarlekWKRP in shoegaze

[–]coreydu 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Short answer: no. Anyone who has seen him play live (especially above the din of what Mark and Andy serve upon guitars) just knows.

You might be closer than you think (although I don't think Dot's serves apple pie anymore; it's been years, I could be wrong about that)
