You know, I didn't expect you to like punk, with most of those bands being leftwing liberals, sometimes even communists, or worse, vegans or straight edge :p I mean, no meat or alcohol? Damn!

Which reminds me of a great communist, vegan, straight edge band:

Michelle Malone - Knee Deep.

I wasn't looking - that's how you found me
Hiding in the backroom of the bar
You snuck up like a black cat from the alley
one that had been bit and scratched too hard
Taken by surprise - I guess I showed it
Wasted liquor dripping down your face
I was not impressed like all those bitches
Easy prey is rarely worth the lay

How was I supposed to know
That you'd never let me go
Now I'm knee deep in your shit

I might have known it from the way you kissed me
Or from your nasty cold shit-eating grin
If I had thought that I might love you
We wouldn't be in this mess that we stepped in

I'm sick of waking to your aging face, dear
And I cringe every time you look at me that way
You say you're not convinced that I don't love you
But if I did, you'd be the one in bed with me

There's a high correlation between great art and mental illness. Doesn't mean I can't enjoy their music, even while double-checking to make sure socialism and vegetarian aren't contagious. :downcast:

Fair enough, but a lot of the music is about the lyrics and all that. So I'd at least expect you to enjoy, say, NOFX's lyrics, more than Pennywise :p

Well, I do - but Pennywise is much more why I like punk music. Raw, energetic, passionate. The kind of music you can mosh to. Let's face it, it's just far too difficult to mosh to a lot of NOFX's music... and you look wicked stupid even trying. Besides... being libertarian isn't about deluding yourself into thinking the world's devoid of problems; it's just about recognizing the reality that government can't fix them, and generally just makes a bigger mess of things when it tries.

Also, I really love irony, so there's something just so... delicious... about a bunch of far-lefty-government-will solve-all-our-problem guys singing about how fucked up and corrupt government is (My Own Country, PW), or even better, a bunch of aggressively militant atheists preaching a fundamental Christian doctrine. :yum:

Even they can't escape the doctrine of human disease, despite being godless heathens and all. :D

And, P.S., if you're gonna post a NOFX song I'd like the lyrics of... why not "Murder the Government?" That's *right* up my alley (and there's nothing wrong with "vanilla" sex. :p)

I always liked the irony of everybody in the crowd during pennywise's fuck authority song, sticking their middle fingers up because the singer tells them too :p I see what you mean about the moshing, NOFX is more something to listen to on a sunny day while sitting. Though for moshing type music I prefer it a bit louder and rougher than pennywise. And I never liked the singer's voice much, to be honest, and the new one sounds just like the old one.

Anyone old enough to know what Panama Red is?

Was listening to the radio, heard this. :)

:haha: :up: Flashback!



Band named after a Seattle park sculpture, song named after a weird street dude in Seattle. Reminder of a very happy time in my life. Went skinny dipping in the lake near the sculpture a few times (when it was warm enough). About a mile from my house.

I thought a song about masturbating was so dirty in 1984. And yet I loved it.

BJ inspired this: thanks for the reminder!

Jeff Lynne had to have the gnarliest white fro ever!



I remember exactly where I was when I first heard this song. Pacific Ave in Seattle. I still love this record. This is the single, not the original album version, alas.



Nailed. Thank you, Speech.

I LOVE Us3!

The various artists "Hip-Hop&Jazz" is freakin' groovy.

Here's this.

And, just because it was there, too...

This is a great song for understanding the importance of arrangement (and a great vocalist). Very simple song. Why does it work so well? Why does it stop working when the guitar solo kicks in at the end? It's all Marley. He's why I can be a Marley fan yet not really like Reggae. He does the vocals in this song with the intensity of somebody making love.



And while on the topic of, err, reggae...

I really can't stand reggae, but as a DJ I really like this song:

The ultimate funk jam band: Maceo Parker


Edit: Like that one a lot, Angel!

I've been finding a lot of great stuff on mix.dj lately, including the one I posted above. Found this one today:

Goldfish - Cruising Through (Protoculture remix)

I really like the buildup at 3:50 and that last minute of the song.

So, who actually only posts music they're listening too?
