R&F XM Listening Thread for 7/24/07

[Vidaroke Hayashida]

Fucking Ron Bennington!

He completely had me the whole time...

http://biztos.com/bileca/bileca_nenad_fish_10kg-hooked.jpg

Yeah that was me... god he had me... i died laughing when he revealed the bit

[aceofspades7]

damn - i had my fingers crossed for the return of the rider

[Furtherman]

I had to talk to someone. So it's officially a bit?

Yea, Ronnie was messin' with him.



But now ESD thinks he really does need help!

[Cleophus James]

Wow hes got Daves head fucked up

[spadanko]

"You hit rock bottom when you ate shit, and you were completely sober"

Awesome

[Fezticle98]

damn - i had my fingers crossed for the return of the rider

Same here. Miss the Rider!

[thebarge]

So did they finally say that Lilly was pregnant yesterday? I missed some of yesterdays show due to work.

[EliSnow]

Yea, Ronnie was messin' with him.



But now ESD thinks he really does need help!

I think he does too. Maybe not necessarily rehab, but he should be lessening the drinking. If he finds that he can't and he's powerless over it, then it's time for serious work.

[ANC]

Actually, brilliant mastering. The blown-out wrongness of it is what makes it unique. The dissonant dynamic relation between instruments raises hackles. Very old school psychedelic. This shit makes a beautiful stink. Count me in as one of the flies.

http://www.artistwd.com/joyzine/music/cave_nick/cave_nick2.jpg

I'd agree with you if the vocals weren't all the way up and dry..

[buzzard]

sounds like the geico gecko:wink:

[Furtherman]

So did they finally say that Lilly was pregnant yesterday? I missed some of yesterdays show due to work.

Yea? Ron did say she was glowing.

[Badinia]

I really did not like the Nick Cave tunes that were played... just not my cup of tea.

However, I do not believe that makes me a Hayseed or a person who operates without opposable thumbs.

Just sayin.

Friday, there is a big difference between thinking to yourself "I don't find that I care very much about post-punk or alternative music, and if it were served to me as tea, I would not choose to sip it" and posting "GARGLE GARGLE HOWL I HATE THIS FUCK WHEN ARE SLIPKNOT COMING ON. WHO IS THIS NICK CAVE ASSHOLE?"

[Vidaroke Hayashida]

Fez is gonna dom a subby sheepy!

[moochcassidy]

maybe im getting jaded but that one was a bit obvious.

ill never trust ronnie again after the rider bit, hes just too good

[ANC]

Fez: I would dominate Sheepy!

- That just made me shutter

[spadanko]

"I would DOMINATE Sheepy"

well put fez

[mr.smokepants]

I knew it was a bit all along. Ronnie had me act like a scared little faggot on the message boards to make all you hayseeds believe it. That and Nick Cave's new songs are awesome.

[IMSlacker]

WHO IS THIS NICK CAVE ASSHOLE?"

You'll see some angry posts from me if Ron ever interviews Slipknot. :lol:

[thebarge]

Yea? Ron did say she was glowing.
Yeah, they were commenting on her "condition" yesterday.

[moochcassidy]

not as awesome as you :wub:

[mr.smokepants]

Fez and Pat Battle

[ESD's twin brother]

Did they say anything about Lilly yesterday???

Also, sounds like Ron is getting a little "shock jock" on us.

[Friday]

Yeah, they were commenting on her "condition" yesterday.

but I do not think there has been any firm confirmation of this....

[DolaMight]

I dare someone to call in and say Ron Bennington.

[deepinthewoods]

I'd agree with you if the vocals weren't all the way up and dry..

Again, believe it or not, I think that's the point. I wouldn't be surprised if very little actual mastering clean-up was done ON PURPOSE. That Nick really is a bad seed.

[nate1000]

Mother-fuck you ESD!!!!!!http://assets.espn.go.com/photo/2007/0126/nfl_ap_norwood_195.jpg

[spadanko]

frenchy... Hot
Dizzy.. HOT

[EliSnow]

Any ladies want to be groped by Frenchy?

[aceofspades7]

but I do not think there has been any firm confirmation of this....

i would say this is yet another r&f wrestling-esque bit

[Friday]

Any ladies want to be groped by Frenchy?

been there ... done that

[Landblast]

esd; wouldn't you like to see these,....

ron: what do i care?

[TjM]

been there ... done that

Link?

[aceofspades7]

staples?

[spadanko]

been there ... done that


WOO!

[moochcassidy]

Again, believe it or not, I think that's the point. I wouldn't be surprised if very little actual mastering clean-up was done ON PURPOSE. That Nick really is a bad seed.

yeah its ironic how difficult it is to create that 'unproduced sound'. i suppose its a testament that these mooks are turned off by it

[spadanko]

were tehy talking about Harry? with thePipe in the hotel? or are they talking old school like staples?

[DolaMight]

Sid Rosenberg smoking crack and threating to jump couldn't be outed on the air? I thought it was common knowledge.

[BrokenKnuckle]

been there ... done that

that's hot

[spadanko]

Sid Rosenberg smoking crack and threating to jump couldn't be outed on the air? I thought it was common knowledge.


AHHHHHHHH yeah it must have been him... that's right.. i remember all of that... I thought they were tlaking about someone from their show

[EliSnow]

Any ladies want to be groped by Frenchy?

been there ... got done

Fixed it.

[rooter]

I love betting against my home team (Eagles). That way, regardless of the outcome, I got something goin' for me. Takes some of the sting away from a loss. When the Birds win, I'm in too good of a mood to care about the money.

[EliSnow]

Hahahaha!!!! ESD got penultimate wrong ..... AGAIN.

I have a friend who does that with the Texans. She calls it an "emotional hedge".

[Heather 8]

Dave's favorite wrestler is the Penultimate Warrior.

anyone noticed his 'digital video disc' fuck up. hes done it at least 4 times and it drives me mental

Here, here. Most of the punters want their music to be like their diet: heavily processed, easy to digest and surrounded by French Fries. Grinderman doesn't come with fries. Or ham. Or eggs.

[EliSnow]

What's wrong with that? It can be Digitial Video Disc or Digital Versatile Disc. Actualy, my biggest ESD peeve is his use of the word "classy." I suspect it's just a bit, and he's playing it for the irony, but "classy" people don't use the word "classy" and say they are doing the "classy" thing.

[mr.smokepants]

not as awesome as you :wub:

Who is though? That's always what I say.

[deepinthewoods]

http://stripysockstudio.com/images/uploads/nickcaveicon.jpg

[MadMatt]

WTF?

What's this return music?

More Nick Cave?

And do we need the whole song?

EDIT: Sorry, I am particularly bitchy today...

its versatile. not video

the 'classy' gimmick is rons from way back

[Lawson]

I'm your man... but not Cohen's version...

Nick cave covers leonard cohen "I'm your Man"

[EliSnow]

It's been both. The original was Video:

Merriam Webster Dictionary (http://www.m-w.com/dictionary/DVD)

Dictionary.com (http://dictionary.reference.com/browse/DVD)

As for the classy gimmick, I don't doubt you, but I never noticed Ron doing it. I just notice ESD doing it when he doesn't want to reveal personal information about Casey as being "classy" (which is the right move) or doing other "classy" things.

If Ron does it, the way he uses doesn't bother me, whereas ESD's use does.

[Friday]

I liked that one.

that one was better than the others.
he was singing more and it had more of a musical feel.

[Cleophus James]

Yah he has that "it" thing about him


SH "it"

I don't care either way, just thought that was a good line

Starter Album:

Warren Zevon, Exciteable Boy

[EliSnow]

For Van Morrison, I'd start with Moondance like Earl said.

[IMSlacker]

http://www.chasermerch.com/images/x%20los%20angeles%20logo.jpg

[epo]

I'm with Al dukes & MikeyBoy.....I never forget about the Mats.

[PhishHead]

Grateful Dead - Workingman's Dead if we are going just studio albums, as this includes some live clips

[Friday]

I bet you get shit from the hipsters for saying that. Like "you just don't understand, go back to your cookie cutter music"

Oh certainly.... but I can barely hear them over the hair bands, opera, and broadway show tunes that are playing in my car.

wheeeeeeeeeee

[EliSnow]

I'm a lot like the guy who wrote in. I'm writing these albums down because I do need some help.

[ANC]

I'm with Dave, Harvest Moon.......

[Bob Impact]

Tom Waits - Closing Time

end of story.

[thejives]

Additional Starter album:
Mott the Hoople, All the Young Dudes

It's a great way to channel all that teenage angst into something with a sense of humor, and some seriously exciting riffs and vocals.

[IMSlacker]

I'm a lot like the guy who wrote in. I'm writing these albums down because I do need some help.

Don't write those last couple down (rush & boston)

[EliSnow]

BTW, I thought Dukes was going to suggest a Bon Jovi album.

[Vidaroke Hayashida]

I'm a lot like the guy who wrote in. I'm writing these albums down because I do need some help.

im not familiar with alot of the stuff they are talking about but im not huge into music ... i like what i like

[thejives]

I think they're right about Elvis Costello. My starter album with him was Spike.
I liked it after a while, but it took some sticking with to rock out.

[Friday]

RUSH is just awful

Marvin Gaye .... GOLDEN
Anything Motown is just sweetness.

[ChimneyFish]

"I can't hear you."

That's hilarious.

[PaintballJ]

How about Cream

[Soupy_Dreck]

i coulda swore mafia life chris would have suggested the Uncle Junior album

[IMSlacker]

Realist?

[Fezticle98]

This "personal card" is uncomfortable.

I thought that the fake internet chick broke them up.

[Bob Impact]

RUSH is just awful


This is why you're my nemesis.

This MLC poem on the other hand, IS awful.

[thejives]

Fez just said fuck again.
He sounds so uncomfortable saying it.

[EliSnow]

[Dingbat_Charlie]

My wife introduced me to Tom Waits music.

his music is incredible.

[BeerBandit]

Impact I may need you to make me a Tom Waits mix.... it sounds like the tone of my mind these days. *sigh*

You'll find a mix won't be enough. But just like Ron said, start early then follow through to today. His evolution is brilliant.

Ohhh,I see..unlike Earl,Yer a good brother...I did the same for my 25 year old neice:smile:

[Hottub]

OK. Deep down I knew it was a bit. But Ronnie played it so well...

I believed it more than I did not.

Put me in the rube column, and score a big one for Mr. B!

[sailor]

RUSH is just awful

Marvin Gaye .... GOLDEN
Anything Motown is just sweetness.

yes, they are...to girls.

i seriously don't get why ron lumps them in with boston, et al.

[shodan]

yeah its ironic how difficult it is to create that 'unproduced sound'. i suppose its a testament that these mooks are turned off by it

I agree with you, listen to some forms of Black Metal, such a Mayhem, early Dark Funeral, etc...it sounds unproduced, but is very hard to get right...
