Did RP Pop?
 

Is that RP's baby as her new avatar? I haven't been checking in much and was wondering if I missed the news.

You're cute when you're all self-important like that. Really.

New geek stuff for audiophiles: A Death Star subwoofer, plans for sale on eBay. No word on whether the subwoofer explodes during the chorus of a Metallica track.

Shall we get a room?

Hank Mobley - Soul Station. Underrated saxophonist at his best and a perfect example of why Blue Note rules the post-bop earth.

A Tribe Called Quest - Low End Theory. "Never half step 'cause I'm not a half steppah / drink a lotta soda so they call me Dr. Peppah." The best of the best of late 80s/early 90s east-coast freestyle/jazz fusion. Smart, funny and Bustah Rhymes acting silly.

The Pogues - Rum, Sodomy & The Lash. "Frank Ryan bought you whiskey in a brothel in Madrid / and you decked some fucking blackshit who was cursing all the Yids." Before Shane McGowan became a sad caricature of himself he was a brilliant lyricist and singer. Band kicks the shit out of traditional Irish music, makes you want to drink, fight and fall down.

Brian Eno/David Byrne - My Life In The Bush Of Ghosts. The grandaddy of electronic music albums. If the groove on "Regiment" doesn't get you then I don't think we should even be having this conversation.

Johnny Cash - At Folsom Prison. The man at his dark and evil best, making a mockery of what passes for "country music" these days.

From Overhead at the Office:

Maybe It's Not Bob You Should Be Roasting...
Co-worker #1: We're having an office roast for Bob on Friday, since it's his last day.
Co-worker #2: What do I need to bring?
Co-worker #1: You know, jokes, stories about him, like that.
Co-worker #2: That's it? Who's going to cook the roast?

I'd have put something by the Beatles on my list, but I can't pick an album

I'm sure the list would be different in a week.

Interesting call on the Pogues. Very good album, though I wouldn't put it top 5. Unless we're just talking titles. Then, definitely top 5. As for Cash prison albums, I'm torn between Folsom and San Quentin. Both great. You can just about hear the warden cringe when Cash busts out "San Quentin, you've been livin' hell to me...."

Mine, for purely best rock albums:

Exile on Main Street (I don't think a better album is possible)
Revolver
Rubber Soul (both perfection in the pop songcraft side of rock)
Highway 61 Revisited (a tough choice over Blond on Blond)
London Calling.

Honorable mention Yankee Hotel Foxtrot, Sticky Fingers, Never Mind the Bollocks, Nevermind.

I heart that you are too cool to include the names of the bands/artists. :rolleyes:

I left the rock off because we only got five, and I haven't been listening to much rock lately, but Exile is one of the all-time greats with London Calling close behind.

In the true confessions department, I bought Physical Graffiti a couple of years ago because I needed to hear the organ intro to "Trampled Underfoot" one more time. You can take the boy out of Long Island . . .
