I remember those days! Pain Teens shows were crazy!
Ed Hall, Crust, Johnboy, all put on great shows.

Love & Napalm...

did you see the bands nominated for BEST ROCK ALBUM in the BillBoard awards?

Here are the nominees

Lana Del Rey "Born To Die"
Fall Out Boy "Save Rock n Roll"
Imagine Dragons "Night Visions"
Lorde "Pure Heroine"
Mumford & Sons "Babel"

Jesus fuck!!!!! Rock and roll, being dead, turned over in it's grave.

Imagine Dragons won, BTW.

I have never listened to this band simply because I can never be sure it's not the British Mono who had some crappy post-trance mtv hit in the late 90s.

I hear the Japanese Mono is spectacular , so tell me all about them.

We had the BillBoard award show on. I still can't get over the fact that Lorde is just 17. I do enjoy that album, but don't understand why it's in the "Best Rock Album" catagory. Reminiscent from when Jethro Tull's, 'Crest Of The Knave' beat out Metallica for "Best Rock Album"......or was it "Best Metal Album?"

I give props to Imagine Dragons playing live and they sounded oh so polished, but I don't like that crap at all.

By the way, a DEAD Michael Jackson is much better than a living Ricky Martin!

It was best metal album.

Not only that, it was the first best metal album, and the first time Metal was a category in itself on the Grammy roster.

Now I think they just have a best metal "performance," (song, I guess. Past winners include Tool for "aenema") and a Best Hard Rock album category that both "metal" and "rock" artists can both be nominated for.

Why is it that there still isn't a best independent album category, or a best independent rock album category? Bands like Flaming Lips, Arcade Fire, TV on the Radio, and St. Vincent, and Vampire Weekend always just end up in the best alternative album category, which has been home to bands like Green day, Offspring, Marilyn Manson, Nine Inch Nails (who were also metal for a while and hard rock for a while... Lol) and. Ah who fuckin cares.

I don't want the Lips to win Grammys. Some might argue they're the Pink Floyd of our generation, but still... They're a bunch of crazy biker pirate mad scientists to me, and they belong nowhere near that whole scene.

Though incidentally they did perform at the BB music awards. Sigh.

actually REALLY good. Why was this shat on so much?

[A Thousand Threads]

Today I was listening to some records that I used to like but haven't listened to in ages.

 

better than I remembered.

If the sadness of life makes you tired
And the failures of man make you sigh
You can look to the time soon arriving
When this noble experiment winds down and calls it a day

Time has come now to stop being human
Time to find a new creature to be
Be a fish or a weed or a sparrow
For the earth has grown tired and all of your time has expired

All the gardens are sprouting with flowers
All the treetops are bursting with birds
And the people all know that it's over
They lay down all their airs and they hang up their tiresome words

 

mhh... not so good. 45 degrees is fantastic though.

It was? The few reviews I read were off the charts, particularly AllMusic's and Robert Christgau's (who placed it in "the great Moore-Ranaldo tradition", by the way). The album is damn phenomenal - I got the CD and the clear vinyl with the beach ball!
