I have no idea. They all agreed with him. Maybe it's an Irish thing? No clue.
Actually, it's the first two lines of my signature. There was this video being made a while ago to promote a greatest hits album of Morrissey's and my friend and I were bored. But the video was for tattoos relating to him so I didn't bother to send any of the pictures in. That one would have been a reject one anyway. It's blurry. And the others are long gone.
Morrissey, really? He sucks along with the smiths. if you listen to old school punk, there are much better bands out there. Pogues for instance.
Don't fuck with Morrissey or The Smiths. While you're clearly a fan of Shane, that just doesn't redeem you. I don't even want to entertain an arguement over Morrissey and The Smiths. And referring to The Pogues as "old school punk" is depressing. They were far more than that. And I say "were" because they are of course very different now without Shane's freakish brilliance.
And do not read this as angry. Tone just doesn't translate well via internet. This is more of a 'tsk tsk' tone.
that's all fine and well if you have different feelings on the matter, Morrissey and the Smiths is old 'poor me' music, nothing brilliant about it.
Yes, I'm a fan of old Pogues, and they were Punk. I'm not talking about sad punk like Sex Pistols who completely missed the point. It's more Negative Approach, Op Ivy.
Knew it would be a complaint about any apparent weepiness. Always is.
I didn't say they weren't punk, I said they were more. Punk plus Irish folk music.
Sex Pistols were a different sort.
I'm fans of them all. Sex Pistols were my first real concert that I went to because I wanted to. They played at Street Scene in San Diego. I got in free because I knew a guy doing security. Since I was let in through the back, the behind the scenes area, there were bunches of cables everywhere. I, of course, paid zero attention to where I was going and tripped over said cables in front of many attractive men. My arm got all cut up. Which really sucked later when I was in a crowd of young punker kids who were rubbing their sweaty bodies all over the open wound on my arm. I'm not a fan of Sex Pistol fans. They aren't my favorites at all. Morrissey fans are sweethearts but animals when Morrissey comes on stage. I love being up in the pit but always want big tall men to surround me. I latch on to the biggest guy I see and force him to be my concert buddy and stand behind me. Nick Cave fans are probably the neatest of them all. You never know what sort of person is in the crowd. He's covered so many different genres you get a bit of everyone. Love it.
Getting a huge déjà vu feeling. Getting stronger as I type even this.
ok, so I get the whole, I knew it was going to be that complaint because he just doesn't get it.
I don't feel like trying to prove myself in the HC or punk genre because it just doesn't matter, people will think what they think and put others into boxes. Plus most people will run out and buy a dead Kennedy's hoodie and think they know everything about punk or HC, when they aren't all that great either.
no you said it's said that I classified them as old punk, which they are. Old punk and HC was all like that. A bunch of cats who couldn't fit in because they had some insight on things and it wasn't cool back then because men were supposed to be men and anything different you were called a fag.
Even more recently, the Dropkick Murphy's original line up was dynamite until they brought on Al Barr and killed it.
Circle pits were fun but was always hard to go to shows with girls. they always would want to be in the pit, they always got hit, then always got upset. HC shows are still alot of fun to watch, but alot of the good bands are closer to the end or finished now.
Half the time, I don't understand pit mentality. I want to be up there so I can be closer to the band. I pay attention. I want to actually see the band live, not just hear them while I thrash about. I've never been hit or anything like that. I don't exactly see Slipknot. And when there are circles formed, it's pretty easy to not stand in the middle of one.
I just hate when bands I love are referred to by one title. They're punk or they're this or they're that. The good ones don't fall neatly into one narrow category. And since being punk means going against the grain and challenging the norm, punk is a giant category. I'm just bad at genres in general. I hate when people ask me what sort of music something is. Bands like Sex Pistols are easy but no idea what to call Nick Cave. Well, besides glorious, that is.
I've decided that today shall be filled with Eddie Izzard.
You should read it, Don fucking Draper. It's quite good.
I adored Tarantino's version of history. He blatantly rewrites it. I also adore the spagetti western flavor. I love when films give a nod to other genres and Tarantino always does that very well. It wasn't the best movie I've ever seen, by far, and it wasn't perfect but I loved it. I do agree with you about how some of the Basterds flat-out disappeared. That did bother me. Suddenly they were just gone. And where the heck did Utivich (BJ Novak's character) come from in the end? Unless I missed a bit that explained how he was captured, he just appeared. Christoph Waltz did a wonderful job. I really loved him in this flick. He by far stole every scene he appeared in. And of course it has women taking revenge. Tarantino loves his women strong. As a woman, it's nice to see female characters hold their own in a setting that generally only gives strength to the men. Hollywood is extremely imbalanced and I love that Tarantino deliberately goes against that trend.
Thanks for telling me what you thought. I love talking about movies. What's a new movie that blew you away this year?

I'm searching Nick Cave as I type this, but I thought I might presume to introduce you all to Tea Party, every ablum is different, one goth, one industrial, one alt rock. Last I knew (8 years ago) they had 5...each different.
This is why no one likes to work! It gets in the way of far more fantastic opportunities.
Tea Party, haven't heard them for years. Looks like someone is a canuck as I don't think they broke much in the US
Ah, a cake or death girl after my own heart...Killer taste in music, doll - kudos on that, as well.
My bookshelf is already full of stuff I haven't read yet.

Also, The Sun, if you can find their video for Romantic Death I bet you'll love it. But even without the video, the song is great, however it's the only release of theirs that I know or have heard. Being a truck driver doesn't leave me a lot of time for much of anything, and I tend to fill it here and on Kings of Chaos... I know, I'm a nerd..lol
Any more pics coming soon, sweetheart?
(as opposed to all those noisy swoons we are used to)
