Randomly Crap Out Your Opinions Thread

Living in the city sucks.
I miss stepping out on the porch and listening to music with birds and bugs providing accompaniment instead of cars and people.

The new Agalloch song is pretty cool stuff...

"Rain Over Me" by Pitbull and Marc Anthony might actually become one of the best karaoke songs ever. Definitely something to sing along with your bros after a few bottles downed.

RO: Excepting a few non-tongue in cheek moments, I giggle whenever someone says they identify with The Smiths' lyrics when, in reality, Morrissey is most likely making fun of them.

Very rough demo of some new songs from my upcoming band, Ronald Rayguns. I'll be singing on the finished versions and we're playing our first show very soon.

The middle part isn't really us doing anything, just kind of dicking around between songs.

I think I finally get the appeal of Darkthrone. Listened to Transilvanian Hunger in full today and I was really taken with the atmosphere - still find the vocals hit and miss, though. Probably just needs some time to incubate like Alcest before it in my ears.

Good to hear.

RO: Although most cite it as a highlight, I find "Nocturnal Me" to be one of the weaker tracks on Echo and the Bunnymen's Ocean Rain.

And hmm, looks almost like a HOR reunion since the short time I've been away. Good to see.

It depends with Morrissey, I think. "Heaven Knows I'm Miserable Now" is certainly tongue in cheek, whereas I think "That Joke Isn't Funny Anymore" is meant to be sincere. Same with a few others, though some are hard to track, like "Ask", "The Boy with the Thorn in his Side" and so on.

I disagree. I think that Morrissey uses sarcasm to deal with the stuff he wrote about, as many do; hence why they can relate.
