Hipster 6 & 9 year olds listening to Beasties what am I reading comments on Gawker?
Kennedy was never and will never be hot.
She is the ugly sorority chick making sure no one has a good time.
Kari was the hot one. She was dirty. Those other nerd girls wouldn’t use their mouths.

Oh you mean the show that Punk’d stole their whole premise from?

That’d be the one.

Speaking of which, remember the MTV show Buzzkill? It was kind of stupid.

That’s very Dylanesque, as Mr. Zimmerman has said he’s done the same just to fuck with people who try to read to much into his lyrics

The Weather Underground, for example?

I was supposed to see Rage Against the Machine/Beastie Boys when they where gonna tour together. I think it was billed as the “Rhyme and Reason” tour. Then Mike D fell off his bike and broke his leg. Fucking jackass.

he just didn’t care about music with lyrics in there and the more ridiculous and offensive he could be, the better.

Buzzkill was fucking awesome. When the infiltrated the MTV Movie Awards impersonating Isaac Mizrahi it was hilarious.

A week or so ago I commented on Facebook that I couldn’t believe my License to Ill cassette tape was 27 years old. My LL Cool J’s “I’m Bad” is 25…

Just stopping by this thread to say “Looking down the barrel of a gun, son of a gun, son of a bitch, getting paid, getting rich.”

That is all.

I’ve never heard the original but the Galaxie 500 cover of Yoko’s Listen the Snow is Falling is one of my favorite songs.

Saw them with Run DMC and LL Cool J, prob 86 or 87. Awesome show, many fights in the stands too.

But I just didn’t like his lyrics or singing.

oh yea…me neither, and he didn’t either (…in the classic albums for apostraphe and overnight sensation, he even says that…he just wrote lyrics so idiots – his words – could have a human voice to relate to). most of his lyrics were total bullshit…some were even invoices for shipping shit. he just didn’t care about music with lyrics in there and the more ridiculous and offensive he could be, the better.

that’s part of why i loved his music so much, that juxtaposition between outrageously complex, intelligent, challenging music and the utter nonsense of the vocals.

Have fun cranking your new clubs this weekend!

OH HYELL YEA. you know this isn’t an issue.

in my eyes, zappa is the greatest composer post 1920 of any music, let alone classical or jazz realms

His music was interesting. In fact, I once wrote a high school essay on jazz-rock and how much of an influence Varese had on Zappa. But I just didn’t like his lyrics or singing.
And I always felt Beefheart got the short end of the stick in their partnership.

Ah, to each his own. Have fun cranking your new clubs this weekend!

Anyhoo, I still think Spencer deserves his own weeky golf post on TBL.
Just leave the kazoos in Joe’s Garage.

And spence, I mean no offense. Just wasn’t a Zappa fan.

only thing i was offended by was you saying beefheart was a better songwriter…im not sure if you meant just rock songs and all that, but, in my eyes, zappa is the greatest composer post 1920 of any music, let alone classical or jazz realms.

zappa’s my fucking hero man…it’s all subjective and all that, and i know you weren’t being a dick, i just…damn man…shit.

Nina Blackwood died in 2003

Or, as we used to refer to her in the early days of MTV, “Nina Airhead.”
