Eh, if I haven't seen it, it's new to me.


I heard about this thing called "planking" too. Gonna have to check more of that out! :p:o

Ok, planking......you're just a tad late on that one. Horseheading, horsemanning, extreme ironing, and of course, the AK fans' favorite: Bronies, have all been newer and now deader than planking. ;)

I just had one of those revelations that my life sucks. :D


Extreme ironing!?! Off to Google...

I would just like to say that the first song Pandora loaded up for me this morning was Harlem Shake.
 
Re: What's on your Playlist? USCHO Music Thread

Okay, who here is a Bruce Springsteen fan?

I've long had his entire pre-Tunnel of Love catalog on vinyl and love it (although some of the old records now sound a little tinny). I'm looking to get them all on CD, preferably re-mastered. I bought the Born to Run re-issue (which was awesome), but I've avoided buying the other already released CDs because I've heard zero good things about the sound on them. I've avoided the Darkness On The Edge Of Town re-issue because... well... it's ****ing expensive.

But then today I saw this for the first time. Is that too good to be true? Those can't possibly be remastered versions, can they? Have any of you guys heard much about that box set? I never heard about it, even though that seems to have been released around the time that the Beatles, Bob Dylan and Pink Floyd were releasing their own remastered catalogs as box sets.

These aren't the remasters.

I usually check out Amazon for reviews on stuff like this.

So those are basically just a repackaged version of the terrible sounding CDs that have been out for like 20 years? At $23, that's still a heck of a deal. It'll still sound worse than my vinyl copies (well... okay, few things could sound worse than my copies of the first two albums, but still), but considering that I can't load my vinyl onto iTunes, it's still tempting.

I have most of those CDs and I've never thought they were exceptionally bad. Never had a problem with them in fact.

I'm going to be selling all of my CDs in the very near future. Could see what I have in Springsteen that you might want and give you an even better deal.

Listening to Best of Buddy Holly & the Crickets

36 tracks

Haven't listened to this in an age. Very nice change of pace. :)
 
Re: What's on your Playlist? USCHO Music Thread

Looking at that list just reminded me of how great an album The River was.
 
Re: What's on your Playlist? USCHO Music Thread

Re: What's on your Playlist? USCHO Music Thread

I've been wondering lately if Jane's Addiction holds up. I loved them in college but how about now 20 years later?
very hit and miss, I think maybe 50% of the first 2 JA records still hold up. the rest is just...eh

they made this 20something minute video which was part of my introduction to the band...to a high school metal head these guys seemed like they were from outer space

I went to the record (yes, record) store with a college roomie the day Nothing's Shocking came out so he could pick it up. He was telling me all about this band as he had seen them in Chicago the summer before.

As we listened to it, I wasn't overly impressed.

Flash forward a year or two and I was a fan and got to see them at First Ave. in Minneapolis. That night, I also thought they were from outer space. Great show though.

I think Nothing's Shocking holds up, but Ritual leaves me mostly cold. I still really like their first album on XXX records. The acoustic guitar goes really well with Perry's singing.

Haven't ever heard anything past Ritual.
 
Re: What's on your Playlist? USCHO Music Thread

Ah the record store....I remember camping out at Best Buy in Duluth when Pearl Jam's "Vitalogy" came out on vinyl (IIRC) 2 weeks before the CD. Worth it. Love the vinyl. It IS because of the unique scratches/jumps/quirks because of your player that makes the music that more awesome. It's like movies with traditional film vs digital. I like the "cigarette burns."

man, the only time I saw Jane's was at the first Lollapalooza in Chicago. Seeing them at First Ave must have been incredible!

I also need to seek out that XXX records lp, I remember really digging it but stupidly I threw out my tapes years ago before I had replaced them with cd's or LP's

ugh...
