Deaths / RIP

[collapsedhole]

countless songs with some of the absolute best lyrics ever.

Huge loss. What a legend. Timed well with the new album and his "I'm ready to die" statement.

Last night I stopped off at his old Montreal home where there was a memorial set up for him. Lots of candles and flowers, and lots of people even though it was quite cold out.

[david lloyd jones]

boo 'hoo.
did you all really listen to his songs when he was alive?
can you quote his less obvious lyrics?

[ANDROPHILIA]

I was a fan since the soundtrack of natural born killers

so The future is my favourite album

[ANDROPHILIA]

boo 'hoo.
did you all really listen to his songs when he was alive?
can you quote his less obvious lyrics?

can i have this honour? :D

There'll be the breaking of the ancient
western code
Your private life will suddenly explode
There'll be phantoms
There'll be fires on the road
and the white man dancing
You'll see a woman
hanging upside down
her features covered by her fallen gown
and all the lousy little poets
coming round
tryin' to sound like Charlie Manson
and the white man dancin'

Give me back the Berlin wall
Give me Stalin and St Paul
Give me Christ
or give me Hiroshima
Destroy another fetus now
We don't like children anyhow
I've seen the future, baby:
it is murder

curious what you're trying to get at with those remarks david? i'm not a hippy or liberal in the slightest, i posted it here because i remember discovering the room full of midwest noise freaks i was with while on tour also loved his shit and i thought no one else did because i had grown up listening to it. but yeah, fuck the doo-wop phase though... 

[absurdexposition]

but yeah, fuck the doo-wop phase though...  

really the only two albums I've never revisited are Ten New Songs and Dear Heather, the latter of which I don't think I could even recognize a single song off of. everything else has its worth and there's not a single weak track on the first four albums, and only a handful of bad moments on everything else that followed. Old Ideas was great, Popular Problems might get lumped in with TNS and DH, and first listen of the new album is promising.

No, no, no. Fidel was a "Champion of Social Justice". Just read Twitter, dude.

you defend this dictator with twitter? even if joking...

[bitewerksMTB]

Dictators ain't all bad. Don't you know that everyone in Cuba can read? They can just only read what the Government allows them to read. That's not a big deal after the Gov. went to all the trouble to teach them to read and all of the cars are from the 1950s. You know, classic cars refurbished with bailing wire & washing machine parts. Social justice, dude. EQUALITY.
