THE MUSIC OF THE FANTAVERSE - THE EXTENDED TOUR

after all that crappy SNL bad music and Blink news here is some actual "good" music for the day.

You know I love ya Donte. I just had to. I got the news almost directly after i posted the other. And I was only kidding with the first post. I know its stupid humor, but I like it. Now back to my rejoicing!!!

Yeah well you and your young generation can all go fuck yourselves. LOL

On the postive side, I would rather see a Blink reunion than a Backstreet reunion. So I have that going for me...

Okay, today I felt like some Slint. From their classic album Spiderland, I give you:

Slint: Good Morning, Captain

I can't believe you Donte. Its hilarious, have you seen their other main song "Jizzed in my pants" great shit. Ahem.. also, jorma is totally hot and will be playign Chaka in the upcoming Land of the Lost movie >.> yay for monkey boys?

umm... if your talking about Backstreet Boys they are reunion-ed. They had an album come out a year ago, and are working on another.

P.S. to save face, the only reason I know this because one of my girl friends is a fanatical BB fan

How can you be friends with someone who listens to them? o.O

these guys have been doing sketch comedy since before they got involved with SNL.. this is a pilot they did a while back.. i couldn't find the unedited version--this is the edited network cut with a laugh track and a bit more censoring....... maybe worth checkin' out though:


also, Andy on the Michael Showalter Showalter (a great showalter in its own right):

One more from Jesus Jones, lest I drive Buscemi into a homicidal rage. My video pick for Thursday, February 12th:

Jesus Jones - The Right Decision

I realized this thread is seriously lacking in techno/electornica/industrial, so I will infuse a little bit.

Excellent choice Becs. Here's my personal favourite from the same band.




And a close second is this one. Impossible for me not to be taken away by either song.

Don't know why, but I was feeling a little The Call today. Was surprised that none of their actual music videos were available on You Tube, but here is Let The Day Begin. If you are wondering, I do believe that the guitar players' hair did come straight from the Mullet's - R - Us catalog.

ha ha, i love her inspite of it, besides we all have our demons dont we...

Hmmm. Today I feel like some Supergrass, so I give you:

Supergrass: Richard III

I hope EVERYBODY knows (and loves) this song, it's an alternative classic. It was also featured prominently during one particularly kick-ass scene in Billy Elliott. My video pick for Friday, February 13th:

The Jam - Town Called Malice

You know it Shryke. It is my number one Alternative song of all time. I'm pretty sure I posted it on here within the first week of this thread.

I must tell you that i have never heard of any of those bands

Me either. But then again, I don't really know who Katy Perry (popular musician) is and I don't really want to know why she kissed a girl (is she bisexual?).



Note: nothing against bisexuality (in fact, it seems quite cool to go both ways), but the best songwriters don't give away the songs' twist in the title. Like Eleanor Rigby for example. John and Paul didn't call it "Eleanor Rigby Is Dead" because they wanted the listener to find out who Eleanor Rigby was and why they wrote a song about her.

Never mind the fact that Jill Sobule (Whom I'm guessing you've never heard of either) had a song called "I kissed a girl" back in 1995. The only difference was that Jill's song was good. My guess, Jill wasn't as video friendly as Katy.

Whelp I had many ideas floating about in my head for my pick of the day, but they all got pushed back by band on my workout shuffle at the gym this morning (evening..). I couldn't narrow it down to one song by these guys because they are just so varied, so here are two of my favorites by Mando Diao.

Computer problems have kept me away for a couple of days, so here are three videos to catch me up.

Jars of Clay - Flood



Joan Jett - Dirty Deeds (Done Dirt Cheap)



And finally, the first in a series of a few Billy Joel videos, starting with "My Life".

Shryke,

I prefer my Billy Joel pre-Glass Houses back when he actually wrote good lyrics. This is probably my all time favorite, and boy did the year 2017 seem like so far in the future when I first heard it.

I feel like Shaun and Ed in the "Second Record I Ever Bought" scene when I listen to this song.
