I’m sorry, all these years on DiS and I can’t enjoy them. I don’t think it’ll change any time soon

I often feel like if I had the computer skills I’d make a gif of the bit in Fellowship of the ring of Pippin accidentally knocking that skull into the well but instead this time it’s Billy Corgan’s head. We could use it every time someone mentions something worthy of awakening the firey rage (in a cage) of @ttf

Jimmy Page is the poor man’s Dean DeLeo.

Just remembered that More Light is the second best J Mascis album and the best Kevin Shields album.

Are we talking Primal Scream’s ‘More Light’ here? Underrated album for sure but woah there! Even if one despises MBV you’re still placing it above ‘XTRMNTR’?!

#694

No, More Light by J Mascis and the Fog. Having listened to it last night I may have to backtrack slightly - the opening track is up there with the best Dinosaur Jr material and the closing track is one of the best songs I’ve heard featuring Kevin Shields.

Ah, i did wonder where j mascis came into it. Not too familiar with his work but was fairly sure he didn’t sound too much like primals! Nevermind, ignore me and crack on :+1: :grin:

So true, Teen Spirit would be so much better if it was half the length, it just repeats itself

One of those ‘the radio edit is better’ tunes, c.f Block Rockin’ Beats, Entertain

#697

Although, coincidentally at his show in Shepards Bush promoting that album, Mascis played a loads of Stooges stuff (the Stooges were essentially the backing band) and Bobby G came on to do a couple numbers on vocals, befire spitting at an audience member, hitting him with the mic stand and then running away. Have hated him ever since

Sam’s Town by The Killers is the best Bruce Springsteen album since Tunnel of Love.

Come on Feel The Lemomheads > It’s A Shame About Ray

All My Friends by LCD Soundsystem isn’t that great (not even in their top 10 best songs, I’d argue) and most of the people who claim they shed a tear while lsitening to it are probably just being a bit dramatic or straight up lying

Completely disagree about all of that but I’ve ever understood why anyone likes someone great. Really dull song.

would have been a better hot take about 20 years ago but mine is ‘the only good smiths song is only good cause Victoria Wood wrote most of it’. don’t think its possible to rile people with smiths opinions these days :(((
