New Slang
OK. That tears it. I held my tongue as long as I could, but u2 are just a bunch of douchebags. I hate them even more than I did yesterday (if that's at all possible). They played Vertigo dos times during their show in the Meadowlands! Two fucking times!! The height of pretentiousness if you ask me. Are they trying to sell more iPods or something? All my u2 CD's are going on eBay stat. But I will be keeping my vinyl copy of The Unforgettable Fire. I wanna rock Indian Summer Sky at a gig this summer. Bono, you're dead to me! Fuck right off!
Why am I so mad about that?
Waiting (im)patiently for Redboy's thoughts on Revenge of the Sith. What say you?
Sweetness! An idea who's time has come. Way to go guys! [link via Coolfer]
This is kinda old news, but I forgot to mention it at the time. Former Sea Ray keyboardist Jeff Sheinkopf has been added to the Longwave lineup. Congrats buddy! And if that's not enough buzz for you, any album that has the seven magical words "Produced by John Mother-Fucking Leckie, Bitches" on it has my attention.
Interesting. Not sure if I would want one but that would be alot less shit to carry from gig to gig.

Shout Out Louds on tour very soon. I got an EP of theirs recently and it's good stuff. For some reason I thought they were punky and shouty (don't know where I got that from), but the EP I got was very Old 97's. Me likey.

29 thoughts on the apparent sexiness of the iPod. Good stuff. Thanks Aubrey! My fave's:
2. But it is true that iPod culture is getting a little ridiculous. The other day my cat started nagging me about my Sufjan Stevens albums. "Dude," my cat said, "I just got an iPod mini! Hook me up, beeatch!" (Mr. Pink hearts INXS and The Smiths along with Mylo and Bloc Party, obvs.)
7. I'm annoyed at those artists like Madonna who don't put their music on the Apple Music Store because they're holding out for a better deal. Not good enough for the Apple Music Store, Madonna? Well I just burned my friend's copy of "Like a Virgin" for free. Put that in your pipe and smoke it, toots.
11. I don't mind the celebrity playlists on the Apple Music Store. But let's take it easy on whom we call a "celebrity," Apple. Danny Masterson? That's a "semi-recognizable television personality."
The writer also goes on to discuss the merits of using The Garden State Soundtrack for a booty call, which is kinda like Damore's latest entry for the Det News. Only different.
Can you say welcome back if you never really went away?
Funny. Dude, Holly is getting huge!
Apparently U2 did the same at their show in Seattle. With a back catalog so huge, I'm totally confused. And I'm a huge U2 mark. Oh well -- not like I'm buying tix to their show here. F'em. New U2 album: sucks neuticles.
did you see shout out louds when they opened for the futureheads in d.c.? they were the second band, although i think i remember you being late for that show, so you probably didn't. anyway, i like "very loud," the first song on the EP. played it at a bluestate or two, even. looking forward to the new full-length.
also, when i saw eminem in '98 for free on my college campus, he did "my name is" twice, and i thought it was really lame, and then he totally blew up and i felt like a loser for thinking he was lame when i saw him.
hehe sorry for the delay :) saw it wed am working on 3.5 hours sleep from seeing coldplay the night b4... thank god for redbull, eh? :) ... so... in a nutshell... IT FUCKING ROCKED. ROCKED I SAY. i really have minimal complaints about it... lil dialogue bits sucked.. a few lil bad acting moments... but seriously... it ROCKEDDDDDDDDDDddddddddd (And im as shocked about this as everyone considering the last two) ... lemme know what u think after u see ya?
i just cant go over how much new U2 sucks. the height of pretentiousness.
Someone just pointed out to me that U2 used to bookend the sets on their very first tour with "I Will Follow," so maybe this is just some kind of tradition they have. Any band that sells out ten months of stadium shows can play whatever they want! That whole debacle about getting first dibs on tickets if you signed up for their fan club is far more annoying than them playing Vertigo twice.U2 pretentious? The Rachels. That's pretentious.
