Roundup: Sportswriter Accused of Keying Car, Online Dating Tips & Teen Sells Kidney to Buy Ipad 2
Olivia Munn … “Russian who buried himself alive dies by mistake” … she survived the Tuscaloosa torando and the Joplin one … sounds like tax dollars being well-spent ... I like Taco Bell and I enjoyed reading this … here’s a jarring headline … TV sports reporter charged with DUI … teacher turns herself into police for allegedly having sex with student … Rolling Stone claims these are the 500 greatest songs of all-time … high school fights are now posted on YouTube? … Scarlet’s single again … don’t read this if you’re eating breakfast … “extra meat” …

one vote for agreement with RS’s #1
June 3rd, 2011 at 8:10 AM
I don’t know what makes the divisions “silly”, but I’m in favor of this move. However…
Probably one of the least insightful things I’ll read this month (not surprising from that source, though). Completely and utterly misses the point. Getting rid of the divisions is not focused on the SEC tournament —which this piece of tripe focuses on — but rather it is focused on increasing the schedule to 18, 20, or 22 conference games, and a more balanced conference schedule for all teams.

high school fights are now posted on YouTube?
In high school my locker was down by the automotive wing. I probably saw a pretty decent in school every month. They are hilarious to think about now. Some guy getting thrown up against the lockers and haymakers galore, with only a few usually catching a piece of somebody.

Can’t agree with RS’s #1. Hey-zeus that’s rough. Greatest song of all time by someone whose singing is, shall we say, subpar? Personally, I’ll take What’s Going On and Good Vibrations as my best two out of that Top 10.

The Third Man is one of my favorite movies ever. Harry Lime is brilliant.
Random bit of nothing: every night when I have to work late, I take a stroll through the Minneapolis skyway. Last night I counted 7 iPad 2 ads on the walls, 8 if you count the gigantic billboard. All of the same picture. Creepy and weird.
June 3rd, 2011 at 8:51 AM
For starters, he won’t shut the fuck up about a joke I made when I told him “your opinion is wrong” when he was talking about the Mavs offense being boring during the WCF.
I would say it’s a case of an obvious troll being obvious, but after last night I learned that he’s actually sincere with everything he says.
June 3rd, 2011 at 8:52 AM

June 3rd, 2011 at 8:52 AM

June 3rd, 2011 at 8:53 AM
Damn. Had no clue Cooper was fluent in French. That’s pretty badass. I wish I was fluent in a second language. I speak the French form of ebonics.

However, TBL, he did say that “McIntyre changed the way I use the internet.” So there’s that.

I wouldn’t worry too much more about 3rdman, though. He has a career and life to worry about- can’t be spending all his time on here.
June 3rd, 2011 at 8:56 AM

After looking at a couple of links, I now understand the buzz over Blake Lively. Her surgeon should be proud.
June 3rd, 2011 at 9:02 AM
Wow, the Heat fucking blew it last night.
Also, isn’t the Rolling Stone list just an updated version of their previous list? “Like a Rolling Stone” was the previous #1. I’d be down with “Good Vibrations” getting the nod but it’s at #6.
June 3rd, 2011 at 9:02 AM

I actually know how to ask that. I was just using an example. The verb tense always fucks me in French. Though when I’m in France after a week or so, it always picks back up something fierce. The first week is always rough, though.
June 3rd, 2011 at 9:07 AM
It’s impossible to make a list that people won’t bitch about but I don’t think they chose the best songs from some of the artists in that top 10. Satisfaction is not even close to being the Stones best song.
June 3rd, 2011 at 9:08 AM
that rolling stone link is fucking dogshit.
‘imgaine’ no. 3? one of the most overrated songs of all time.
June 3rd, 2011 at 9:08 AM
‘respect,’ ‘hey jude’ and ‘good vibrations’ should be higher.

I’m glad I wasn’t around for that. Funny, coming from a guy who called me a ball hog yesterday and insinuated those who were long time commenters were fucking pathetic.
June 3rd, 2011 at 9:10 AM
Jay V, I read something this morning that they are thinking that without the divisions they will have a better chance at getting teams in the NCAA tournament, and shitty teams from the west won’t be getting a free pass in the conf. tournament, guessing that is where he is going with that. I also heard that the 18 game schedule is close, but they don’t want to go much higher than that since it would cut to many non-conf. home games.
June 3rd, 2011 at 9:10 AM
‘my generation’ is the highest who song? AWFUL. how is it not ‘pinball wizard?’
June 3rd, 2011 at 9:11 AM
Favorite Stones’ song? As a history aficionado (and undergrad history major), I love “Sympathy for the Devil.” That and “You Can’t Always Get What You Want.” Almost impossible to choose one.

‘london calling’ at 15? get rid of imagine and throw that up there.
June 3rd, 2011 at 9:12 AM
Maybe it’s something with history majors, because that’s my favorite Stones song as well.
June 3rd, 2011 at 9:12 AM
I’d put “Don’t get fooled again” and “baba o’riley” ahead of both of them.
There are also some Beatles songs I’d take over Hey Jude. The way the list is made is ridiculous though, one song per click, completely lame.
June 3rd, 2011 at 9:13 AM
Maybe it’s something with history majors, because that’s my favorite Stones song as well.
Funny, History was also one of my undergrad majors, and that’s probably my favorite Stones song as well, although I’m not the hugest Stones fan.

Love the Who – some of the underrated/underappreciated songs (IMO) are The Kids Are Alright, Early Morning Cold Taxi, and Love Reign O’er Me
June 3rd, 2011 at 9:26 AM
‘Time is on my Side’ has always bben one of my favorites from the Stones.

and also, it’s voodoo child (slight return)…the original voodoo child is REALLY strange. god damn was that a great album…

June 3rd, 2011 at 9:27 AM
The music is fantastic in that song. It’s 1b to Sympathy for the Devil in my opinion.
June 3rd, 2011 at 9:27 AM
Fuck. At least have the option for both….I think Time’s website does this.
June 3rd, 2011 at 9:28 AM
Paint it Black due to its awesome use at the end of Full Metal Jacket. Tumbling Dice is my favorite and IMO the most underrated Stones song. Not to say that it disregarded completely – but that it’s underrated.
Barb O’Riley for the Who. E Front is strong as well.
June 3rd, 2011 at 9:29 AM

Never really cared much for Pink Floyd. Not to say they weren’t talented or an inspiration for future musicians, just never really listened to a lot of their stuff.
I think we did the whole get really high and do the Wizard of Oz thing with Dark Side of the Moon when I was a teenager. Other than that, never really was seeking out Pink Floyd music.

It should also be noted that Rolling Stone believes that the greatest song of the last 40 years is…Smells Like Teen Spirit.
It might be blasphemous to say so but I’m not so sure Nirvana’s music has held up so well over the years.

Lists like those make me happy that I’m not a big music connoisseur. I like what I like, pretty much any genre, but probably don’t appreciate the classics as much as I should.

The Foo Fighters are my favorite band of all time and I think Nirvana sucked. I know that probably does not compute, but I think Cobain was a horrid front man.

It might be blasphemous to say so but I’m not so sure Nirvana’s music has held up so well over the years.
totally agree. pearl jam and soundgarden are way better than nirvana. i like some of nirvanas stuff, specifically unplugged, but most of it sounds lazy.

OK….I have to make sure of something…there’s not a KISS song on that list, right?
June 3rd, 2011 at 9:44 AM
Nevermind holds up very well, as does Ten and Purple, Superunknown and The Colour & Shape do. In Utero doesn’t IMO. I think part of is these albums had angst that required you either having a headset to really get into it, or to turn the volume up a few places past where you’d normally have it.
You put Teen Spirit on and blast that shit and it is as viseral as ever. Same with Ten. You can’t listen to Ten with your kids or wife in the car and just hum along. Get into the Alive solo or scream along to Jeremy where Vedder’s screaming EYE EYE EYE EYE YEEEEAAAAA-HAAA-HAA. That’ll make the hair on your arms stand.
Rock isn’t largely made to be played at comfortable volumes or in a safe place. It’s meant when things are askew or you need release. I say buy a great pair of headphones and plug back in, some of that music is still fantastic and not dated, it’s often the listener that hasn’t held up well.
June 3rd, 2011 at 9:44 AM
I feel the opposite. I listened to some of Bleach and some non-radio songs from Nevermind (Territorial Pissings, Drain You), and I thought they still are great.
PJ is great, but I don’t think anything after Superunknown holds up well for Soundgarden. If Blow up the Outside or Pretty Noose comes on the radio, I’m changing the channel 9 times out of 10.
June 3rd, 2011 at 9:44 AM
Then it should be Thunderstruck, because that song is badass. My brother saw them in concert and said they were awesome.
June 3rd, 2011 at 9:44 AM
I think the one Nirvana song that holds up is “Come As You Are.” I agree that “Smells Like Teen Spirit” went from probably being underrated to incredibly overrated.
June 3rd, 2011 at 9:44 AM
Yes. Geez is Canadian and so are The Guess Who. In fact, I bet they’re big Jets fans being from Manitoba and all. That’s why I called them the Diet Who.

Saw them two summers ago in the football stadium here, they still put on a really good live show. Even if the songs do sound the similar.

Going to a White Sox game tonight. We’re tailgating too. I am guaranteed to hear Thunderstruck no less than 12 times in the parking lot. The Meth Sox faithful love their AC/DC.
I did go to a show of their’s once. It was entertaining. Strange lineup though. I forget the name of the band that opened for them but they were nothing but pure noise. REO Speedwagon was pretty cool though. As was George Thorogood and the Destroyers.

my guess is the whole rock and roll thing. rednecks love them some simplicity, like Skynard. the Allmans play actual music, but are possibly a little to “folky” I guess, not sure how to put it.
I guess a better way to look at it is that it is easier to beer bong a bunch of Busch Light to simple man than it is Statesboro Blues.

Girls Got Rhythm and Long Way to the Top are perfectly cromulent ACDC songs. I think Hendrix is more profound as a revolutionary figure in playing the guitar and as a cultural icon, than owner of a music catalog. He really challenged the status quo.

Summerfest in Milwaukee is probably one of the better ones. It runs 10 days and is really affordable if you’re looking to check out new music.

It’s ok… It depends on what kind of experience you want to have. I like the smaller stages because the sound is better and the crowd is usually more fun. I’m also not that crazy about the 45 minute set. I saw Pearl Jam at Lolla few years ago and it was AMAZING. I’m not even that big of a Pearl Jam fan. They played for 2 hours. I don’t know how Gaga is going to do at Lolla because she can’t have her normal crazy set.

If you are going to Lollapalooza this year I endorse indie rock band Delta Spirit. History From Below is one my favorite albums of the past year. Bushwick Blues is the monster track off that album.
June 3rd, 2011 at 10:02 AM
some of that music is still fantastic and not dated, it’s often the listener that hasn’t held up well.
What made Nirvana popular was the fact that they came around and knocked the likes of Poison and Motley Crue off the airwaves. I never thought their music was particularly great and bands like the Pixies did it better a couple of years prior. The Pixies music, in my mind, has aged much better than Nirvana’s.
June 3rd, 2011 at 10:03 AM
Did you see her on Good Morning America a week ago? I think it will be more like that. You’ll probably get to see more of her talent in a stripped down show.

Some skank shoved her way in front of me about half-way through the Sam’s Town tour of the Killers. I was reduced to dumping a warm beer all over her back – she moved. Not proud of this but it needed to be done. I am not proud of letting that beer get warm either but it was a great show. It was likely meant to be.

Yesterday afternoon, a woman was fatally hit by a No. 6 train after she passed out and fell onto the tracks at the 77th Street stop on the Upper East Side. Police say that 21-year-old Bronx resident Fatoumata Diallo fainted, possibly due to the heat, just as a northbound No. 6 train pulled into the station, and was “cut in half”, according to a witness.
Jesus.

I’m reading the comments, staying away from throwing my opinions about certain players/the actual game out there. You’d get along great with Menarky SC, his unadulterated hatred of LeBron is pretty spectacular.

“TB Sheets” is Van Morrison’s greatest work….that song is amazing.
Speaking of “covers” by those 60s acts…it’s interesting but those guys used to just take other acts songs, and just remake them. They must not have invented lawyers yet.
And give me “Monkey Man” by the Stones…

I’ll wait until Yardwork, man. I have a grievance to file with Mr. Lisk for cursing James Shields. I also have some unusual Cardinal joy to share for Colby Rasmus’ big night.
Cubs didn’t play yesterday so I was locked in to watching my fantasy matchups. Didn’t see a minute of the NBA game so I’ll stay out.

Shit, I had a total of 3 people playing on my fantasy team yesterday. Kubel hit the DL so now I added Jeff fucking Francoeur.

It might be blasphemous to say so but I’m not so sure Nirvana’s music has held up so well over the years.
totally agree. pearl jam and soundgarden are way better than nirvana. i like some of nirvanas stuff, specifically unplugged, but most of it sounds lazy.
THIS. And I’ll add that the Alice in Chains unplugged album remains the tits. Any Jeff Buckley songs on the list?
