Such a good album. Better than anything Death Cab ever put out.

Not even The Ramones could do more in two minutes. Argue otherwise I know a witch doctor do you know where I live?
The beauty of the Ramones is not what they did in 2 minutes...it's what they DIDN'T do in two minutes.
Never really developed a taste for tequila. Kind of hard to understand how you make a drink out of something that sharp, inhospitable. Now, bourbon is easy to understand.

Youtubing, and came across this classic gem. The album is magnificent, this track is underrated. I 95% guarantee you he did this freestyle. Just off the cuff. NSFW, the ODB: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ATbB...EdfjhJ7Vj_kXaA

Fantastic. Thank you.
If you see the bootlegs of him freestyling in the streets in Philly and Atlantic City (I think?) it looks like the crazy persona (I mean other than the fact he was actually bipolar) was a technique he used to unnerve opponents. He gets real close and the other guy looks like he doesn't know whether ODB is going to hit him. Pretty hard to keep a good flow under those circumstances.
Also explains how a skinny, comparatively slight guy held his own against monsters who did nothing but lift during their prison stretches. Those men were truly nothin' to f-ck with.

That, and the drugs.
He just rattled off rhymes...
Very much the opposite of Chuck D (Public Enemy). The local public radio station here mentioned a story where Chuck met up with Atmosphere (MPLS rap duo, VERY good, link of a fave below) and Brother Ali (MPLS rapper, actually went to high school with him), and the latter artists started free-styling. Asked Chuck D to join them onstage, and Chuck said, "I don't do free-style."
Point is, some people can, and some can't. Free-styling is a very difficult thing to do well. I suppose it's much like improv/ad-libbing in acting. You either have it, or you don't.

Re: USCHO Music Thread: We All Have A Crush On Shirley Manson
Speaking of Shirley Manson......
In my collection I have roughly 150-200 records that I bought back in the day, and either never got around to listening to, or listened to maybe once but they never registered with me enough to file in my main collection, they just stayed with the batch of unlistened. Over the past year or so, I've been slowly working my way through them. One that I dug out the other day was a band called Fire Town, from Wisconsin, released in 1987, still unopened in its shrink wrap.
Those of you outside of the Midwest probably never have even heard of them. I have no idea what compelled me to buy this in the first place. I don't think I had ever heard a song by them. Maybe I was just looking for something different, maybe I just liked the cover, maybe I had read a review or had heard of them and just don't remember now, I don't know. But anyway, I looked at the back cover to see who might have been in the band, and they had a very young-looking drummer by the name of Butch Vig. So I had to look into them more.
Fire Town formed out of the breakup of a band called Spooner, which included Vig and a guitarist named Duke Erikson, released two albums, the second in 1989, and then broke up. Vig went on to produce a bunch of well known albums, and then got back together with Erikson and another friend/former bandmate of his, Steve Marker, to form a band that basically just played fill-in gigs when other bands couldn't make it.
Then they changed their name and asked Shirley Manson to join them. And the rest is............
