J i m s t e r said:I asked Nile Rodgers this question (on the internet) last year. "Leather trousers, yes or no?" "ABSOLUTELY!" was the answer. Yeah, but he's kind of a cornball, though. Do-rags, chambray shirts with the top button d…

I don't imagine that this is what Biz is talking about, but I remember seeing on eBay a few years back a three- or four-song twelve-inch (promoting some 1990s Thin Lizzy greatest hits package, I think?) with "Johnny The Fox" it.

asstro said:the Strut version of "Broken Language" A classic, no doubt. From the one dolo, I believe: the vest sweater wearer, action figurine package tearer, the novelty tie rocker, self inflicted cock blocker, the mayonaise spreader, the …

HarveyCanal said:I mean, who doesn't love ZZ Top? Truly, they are--to paraphrase Louis CK--the rock n' roll equivalent of fart jokes: You don't have to be smart to like them, but you'd have to be stupid not to.

DocMcCoy said:Let me avail you of a few facts, as opposed to second-hand opinions that are based largely on personal prejudice (not that you're not entitled to those things - just be aware of what they are, that's all). Carl Cox (#16) starte…

Rockadelic said:Seems like DJ's have the same scam going as modern artists record dealers...it's not necessarily what they create, it's more about creating and selling a personality as a tastemaker I kid, I kid. Seriously, though: I'm a…

pickwick33 said:Even if you or I or George or Eddie or whoever thinks that Funkadelic was a great rock band, can anyone really say that Funkadelic was a better rock band than they were a funk band? I think they kicked ass both ways.. I agre…

Horseleech said:james said:Horseleech said:And a band's opinion about it's own music? MEANINGLESS. I realize you're being facetious, but I think this part is mostly true, actually. You know, "Never trust the artist, trust the tale," and all that.…

The_Hook_Up said:might be the only smell gimmick used for an LP's packaging I don't know whether pickwick is awake yet, so I'll point out that there's that Sylvester record on Blue Thumb with the scratch-and-sniff flower on it.

What the fuck kind of question is this? My copy of Roberta Flack Featuring Donny Hathaway smells like the underside of David Crosby's poncho. Double-bag that shit with the record outside of the cover and keep it moving. I have some Santeria r…

ketan said:Of course, but Jay's not "known" for that. There was a period a little while back where he was getting media attention for his extended and repeated concert monologues about the trials and tribulations of choking women during sex. Maybe…

You know, The Giving Tree is a book about a dude who is so oblivious to his own self-absorption and is indulged in it for so long that in the end he is able to fool himself into mistaking it for perspective. The fact that Rabin so blithely invokes t…

hogginthefogg said:More like "Weakened (version of The-Dream)" AMIRIGHT? True. I think, though, that ladies love cool Abel in a way that they do not your man Youngdell. And considering the basic genre in which they both operate, I don't thi…

Though I eventually heard (and have since forgotten) some story that explained to my satisfaction the reason for the balls (they're an ancient symbol of the theater or something?), Mick's proto-Cisco-Adler moves here were always distressing to me as…

It gives me no joy to inform you, Edith, that it's been a good couple years since the warm and tanning light of Terry Clizzo has put freckles on the Big Shoulders; he's currently peach-sniffing down in his native Georgia, where he moved for law scho…
