I had such a big crush on Kim Deal, whatta woman. And she has a twin sister....

Concur. In an effort to avoid that very fate, I steer clear of those oldies.

Heavy rotation currently on the car CD player:

-new Snoop
-new Lil' Kim
-Fifty Cent
-new Talib Kwali
-(old Talib Kwali) Black Star, but I don't think 1998 qualifies as oldies (yet)
-the Wiggles

and the oldest thing in my deck:

-the Broadway soundtrack for the Lion King (mid-90s)

Phew, not my parents yet.

I'll ride with you anytime (as long as you don't start talking about your magic stick). I've been on a alt-pop jag lately though. Lots of new Radiohead and old Wilco. Might be time to get the new Black Eyed Peas album and tilt the scales back in the hip-hop direction.

That said, I thought up the ultimate 90s One Hit Wonder:

Harvey Danger.

And with that, I leave on a high note. Good night folks.

I tried to register online at www.donotcall.gov but I think a few BILLION other people are trying to do the same thing and the site is crashing.

National Do Not Call List
 

Yeah, I saw the piece on the Today show this morning, which I'm sure prompted 10 million viewers to get to work and go to the site. I assume there were similar pieces on ABC, CBS, CNN. Fox maybe not.

(Of course, it doesn't go into effect until Oct. 1, so you have a few days).

What I'm wondering is, what will happen to telemarketers once every single number in the US is registered? Are they all going to be calling the same 97-year old grandmother in Bismarck, ND, who doesn't even know what the internet is, and doesn't realize that some calls take more than 7 digits to dial?

There it is. Right there. Nothing to add.

If you have a state-based do not call list, sign up for that in the meantime and it should have basically the same effect.

Is a radio station playing an oldie hit fundamentally different from copying a long prior post, and only saying "this was good"?

Puffy Nipples, Porn Stars, Etc...
 

There are a number of distinctions I could point out. But I will just note perhaps the most important: A radio station playing an oldies hit has followed the path of least resistance. You hear the same song over and over again and begin to convince yourself that you like it, not because of the inherent worth of the song, but because of the comforting recognition. This sort of reptition is bland and numbing. Less' post, on the other hand, bears repeating precisely because it is not the comforting message that we have been hearing over and over. It is a message that asks us to do something different than passively and unthinkingly turn on our classic rock station and listen to the same drivel simply because we can hum the chorus or sing along. Unlike our passive acceptance of hearing the oldies ad nauseum, we are resistant to Less' message - we don't want to hear it; we would rather listen to that old Michael Jackson tune that reminds us of having a crush on Suzie Witherspoon in junior high. Thus, Less' post needs to be repeated, as often as possible, so that there is at least a tiny possibility that some small part of the message will sink in to the tiny brains of some small fraction of you morons.

If I were truly sorry for appearing cranky this morning, I would apologize and blame it on after effects of the Pisco Sours I enjoyed last night. But I am not so I will not.

If I stare at it for a few moments it does, but if I just skim past it (which is what I did until you made me stop and look at it) it doesn't bug me any.

PLF, you're right, this song you sing isn't a golden oldie. Instead, you are the Avril Lavigne of the FB. Filling the airways with the same old sop masquarading as a rebellion against the system.

Or in PJ's case, the crush we had on Michael Jackson.

Oh, and, I did not apologize.

Usually, at the NBA draft, you get a bunch of clueless kids who have never worn a suit before trying to out bling each other and ending up looking stupid as hell.

Lebron James, the number one pick and a kid straight outta high school, showed surprisingly good taste. His all white suit looked great.

The photo below doesn't do it justice. For the best look at it, watch as he gets called up to shake Stern's hand on ESPN motion.

thank you for this clarification. your earlier post was the same as an oldie station. the alternative to the oldie station is I suppose some "alternative" station that plays shit that sounds like a song Buzzcocks or Roxy Music or Gang of Four could have done in 1978. The familar sound is still there, its just not as familar. The difference is nothing more than pretension. the parallel to "a way to go post" on this board and pop music is still there. oldies stations and this board are 95% pablum to waste a first moments of your day with a gentle buzz, but upon reflection your realize the song (or post) is ultimately trite. the other 5% has merit. but not the posts in question. the realization you are becoming your parents or fighting the urge to ease into being your parents by intentionally avoiding what you would otherwise do, this is your crusade? its like Margaret said in Liquid Sky to the old hippie "and you all wore blue jeans as a symbol to show you won't conform- at least realize you're in uniform?"

music
 

There is an AOL add running every 30 seconds somewhere on my local TWC. When ever I hear that insufferable girl in the 5 seconds they give her of that ad, I want to put my fist through the television.

PLF and Lester are speaking The Truth. But they didn't go far enough.

Almost all music is derivative crap. It's not bad enough that we listen to the songs of our youth. We also willingly accept the pablum the record industry spoons into our heads that recreates the music of our youth.

Alt-rock commits the biggest sin for not embracing its inherent derivative crapitude. (Yes, the good ones do and then spin it into something new and interesting.) I spent 5 hours listening to an excellent commercial free alt-rock station this week and I had to keep checking the display because I was convinced they were playing the same song over and over and over and over from 1992.

None of their fashions were as bad as the old school Karl Malone (white pants, knit tie) and Barkley (maroon suit) on draft day.

Dude, you're fucked either way. If you listen to the stuff you grew up with, you're your parents. If you listen to the new stuff, pretty soon you'll be that creepy old dude who thinks he's young, standing at the end of the bar mouthing the words to whoever the kids are listening to these days and oggling the cute co-eds whose buzz you are killing. Think Wonk.

No, the androgynous 80s thing never did it for me crushwise. It was a Jackson 5 thing. Then of course you had to see little Michael progress so well musically, then of course you noticed each new nose or chin or cheek or skin color, then it just became completely like a car accident scene and you had to turn away....

Oh, Michael! How could you?!:sobbing:

I have had it up to here* with you and your pisco sours, mister sophisticated classy class guy. You can go out to fancy pants bars with your friends and talk about sophisticated guy topics like the latest artsy foreign film with symbolism and subtitles or pan-asian cuisine, but I don't care. Do you hear me, I don't care! When I go out tonite with my poseur friends, we will be laughing about you, your post, your monicker and your taste in music while we sip our Zimas and make fun of you yet again. Maybe when we are done making fun of you, we will do it again so that we can display that sort of banal repetitiveness which is the bane of your sick were-wolf like existence.

A new study shows that pot smoking does not cause brain damage and has almost no effect on cognitive function or memory. There goes the OM's excuse for why he can never remember anything.

Study: Pot Doesn't Cause Permanent Brain Damage
By Deena Beasley
LOS ANGELES (Reuters) -

Smoking marijuana will certainly affect perception, but it does not cause permanent brain damage, researchers from the University of California at San
Diego said on Friday in a study.

"The findings were kind of a surprise. One might have expected to see more impairment of higher mental function," said Dr. Igor Grant, a UCSD professor of psychiatry and the study's lead author. Other illegal drugs, or even alcohol, can
cause brain damage.

His team analyzed data from 15 previously published, controlled studies into the impact of long-term, recreational cannabis use on the neurocognitive ability of adults.

The studies tested the mental functions of routine pot smokers, but not while they were actually high, Grant said.

The results, published in the July issue of the Journal of the International Neuropsychological Society, show that marijuana has only a marginally harmful long-term effect on learning and memory.

No effect at all was seen on other functions, including reaction time, attention, language, reasoning ability, and perceptual and motor skills.

music
 

I totally agree. However, do you think maybe some people like looking back at early 80's videos because they were pretty genuine (and goofy) rather than totally prepackaged and manipulative like all videos are today? It's more like celebrating authenticity and rejecting today's pablum (although I agree it's all pablum).

That said, the only music I enjoy listening to these days is opera. I'm very conservative so I tend to like what pleases my ear, so that tends to be traditional - I go to about one modern opera each season and am generally pretty disappointed. It is hard to try to like new things when somebody has mastered what you like hearing so well.

Jesus. I was just doing this last night. The co-eds were great. I can still do it at 28, right?

music
 

80s videos were fun even when they were stupid or pretentious because the medium was new and no-one had ever seen or done it before. Now, we've all watched them for 20 years so it gets tiresome more quickly. But I think the original-sound-to-derivative-copycat-crap ratio gets to be about the same in every musical style cycle.

Puffy Nipples, Porn Stars, Etc...
 

So what? When I have kids, I won't really care what they think of the music I listen to. And I didn't care about the music my parents liked -- just because I didn't like doesn't make it bad. "Ewww, parents' music" to me meant "I don't like it" not "I can't believe you listen to that crap."

This post is wholly illustrative of the problem. What does young bridge see as the only alternative to listening to the same old re-hashed shit on his/her oldies or classic rock station? Turning to the Clear Channel version of an "alternative" radio station and listening to the shit that will be on the classic rock stations in twenty years. Shit that is absolutely horrible, but that bridge will convince himself/herself (in twenty years) that he or she likes because it is familiar to him or her. Same goes to you, g-cubed. May I suggest a different "alternative"? Turn off your fucking radio and go see some music that may not officially endorsed by Clear Channel. At first, you will miss basking in the rosy glow of corporate sponsorship, but you will get over this.

Jesus, it's like I need to spell everything out for you people. You are collectively trying my patience more than usual this morning.

honey we're on the same page, I just see the futility in claiming what you'll get to won't sound like something you heard before. I have a 4 disc changer in my car, there are 3 cd's by one band and a fourth by another. neither has corporate sponsorship, has been on the radio that I heard, and likely won't be on "a sounds of 2000" oldies station in 2020. It's still derivative, fuck cave painting were derivative, they cause a familar buzz in your head even if you are ugg the cave man looking at the first one, you'd think "shit this reminds me of the day arrg and I hunted that bison."

Do you know what I am doing right now (besides typing on my computer)? I am eating a peach. A simple peach of the common man. A peach that was organically grown by a salt-of-the-earth farmer who has no nostalgia for '80s crap, nor has he even heard of that Frenchy April chick. He is a simple farmer who, when done tending to his peach harvest, goes home to his wife and plays fiddle tunes to her all night. I am much like this farmer, only in an urban lawyer kind of way. Your elitism accusation could not have been more off the mark.

I am now done with the peach.
