I can't tell kids that drugs and liquor are bad. I fuckin' love drugs and liquor.

Gotta learn stuff through denial and error.
The self-titled third album is actually my hangover music of choice - well, except for "The Murder Mystery".
Hey, it's right there in the title. What more da ya want?
"Love Me Do" by The Beatles
"My My, Hey Hey (Out Of The Blue)" by Neil Young & Crazy Horse
"Tangled Up In Blue" by Bob Dylan
"You Don't Know How It Feels" by Tom Petty & The Heartbreakers
"I Love You, Big Dummy" by Captain Beefheart & The Magic Band
The Afghan Whigs get overlooked in so many discussions about great nineties bands, yet that string of albums from Congregation to 1965 is solid. Good article, thank you.
One night at the college radio station, I accidentally played "Five Foot One" at 45 rpm instead of 33 rpm. I love the song as is, but somehow it works even better with Iggy singing in a "munchkin" voice (on the log sheet, I listed the artist as "Iggy Mini Pop").
Choose a life. Choose a job. Choose a stride mother. Choose a family. Choose a fucking big television. Choose washing machines, cars, compact disc players and a new Mc.Laren F1 bought after earning 18, 512$… Choose 98$ HOURLY and wondering who the fuck you are on a Sunday morning. Choose 3-5 h/r of work a days with…
Fun House is my favorite, but all three of those albums are absolutely essential.
Whatever order one happens rates them, the top five are pretty much undisputed. But Kill City is such an underrated album, and remarkably consistent considering Iggy's vocals were recorded on weekends when he got permission to leave the mental hospital where he was staying at the time.
It's debatable to what extent it can be considered finding "a fresh start", but in Slapstick by Kurt Vonnegut, Jr. it wasn't until after the collapse of Western civilization that Dr. Wilbur Daffodil-11 Swain and his sister Eliza's plan to end loneliness (by assigning everyone new middle names composed of a random…
Watched season 2 of BoJack Horseman. I laughed, I cried, I can't wait for season 3.
A bit disappointed that you cut "songs about specific states" week a day short, but this song is so damn good that I am willing to overlook it.
The Rod Stewart cover was the first version of "Downtown Train" I ever heard, too. Actually, my introduction to a lot of great bands came from hearing cover versions. I first heard songs by Joy Division, The Stooges and The Soft Boys as covered by Nine Inch Nails, RHCP and Circle Jerks respectively. I much prefer the…
Not so much an altered opinion as gaining a greater appreciation, but hearing that boring-ass cover of "Heroes" by The Wallflowers being played everywhere for a while in the late 90's only made me appreciate the vocals, production and everything else about the Bowie original even more.
PowerThirteen doesn't care about black people.
But still not enough - if I remember correctly from my days of college radio, the CanCon requirement is 35%. They'd better get a Tom Cochrane or 13 Engines article posted ASAP, or else they might get a stern lecture from the programming director.
In any case, I'm pretty sure no one is going to rain on his Parade.
That comment was a stroke of genius, but frankly all the best masturbation puns have been beaten to death.
