Re: Ryan Adams: four new studio albums released at once

For years I thought people meant to say Bryan Adam's. Took me years to realize it's a different guy. It took you YEARS to figure this out. As in 365 days multiplied. For years, you ignored spelling and context clues. You thought it was some kind of mass psychosis making everyone call him "Ryan...

There's a part of "Mmmm x 4" that I like quite a bit: The bridge, where it goes "But both girl and boy were glad..."

I also like how he says "church": CHORCH.

The part of Geddy Lee's book I'll probably think about for the rest of my life

When the British came to liberate the Bergen-Belsen concentration camp, the prisoners were in disbelief because they assumed the Nazis won and the rest of the world was dead. It was the only way they could rationalize nobody coming to save them. Ged told this story to Neil Peart, who wrote "Red...

Re: I survived a Tornado

This is my #1 pick. I can't think of a worse song from the 90's.

I don't even think the Butthole Surfers like it. Which is kind of incredible, that the Butthole Surfers made a song so bad, even they don't want to listen to it.

Anyone got Apple Music? Are you using the Dolby Atmos/Spatial Audio option? Pop music tends to sound okay, but rock music almost always sounds like shit. The Motley remasters are especially terrible. They got Raw Power in Dolby Atmos which is kinda funny. Wow, it's like the excruciatingly cranked up...

Love that song.

Weird that it wasn't a hit. It came out only a year after he died, right? Almost no play on MTV. I think I saw it once on 120 Minutes.

I'm not sure. Great band. Had a run of albums that were near-godly. Pussed out in the 90's but bounced back and have been consistently pretty good since. Even their last album was good. But, and I think this factors in quite a bit, who names them as an influence? I think I've only ever seen Lamb of ...
