March 5, 200422 yr I thought this deserved it own topic... I watched Dashboard confessional cover this album last night on the music channels music channel. I had forgotten how great this album is. I dug it out. Dusted it off, and am rawking out right now... Drive Try Not To Breathe The Sidewinder Sleeps Tonite Everybody Hurts New Orleans Instrumental No. 1 Sweetness Follows Monty Got A Raw Deal Ignoreland Star Me Kitten Man On The Moon Nightswimming Find The River These lyrics I found interesting today while listening. Ignoreland These bastards stole their power from the victims of the us v. them years, Wrecking all things virtuous and true. The undermining social democratic downhill slide into abysmal Lost lamb off the precipice into the trickle down runoff pool. They hypnotised the summer, nineteen seventy-nine. Marched into the capital brooding duplicitous, wicked and able, media-ready, Heartless, and labeled. super u.s. citizen, super achiever, Mega ultra power dosing. relax. Defense, defense, defense, defense. yeah, yeah, yeah. Yeah, yeah, yeah. ignoreland. yeah, yeah, yeah. ignoreland. The information nation took their clues from all the sound-bite gluttons. Nineteen eighty, eighty-four, eighty-eight, ninety-two too, too. How to be what you can be, jump jam junking your energies. How to walk in dignity with throw-up on your shoes They amplified the autumn, nineteen seventy-nine. Calculate the capital, up the republic my skinny ass. T.v. tells a million lies. the paper’s terrified to report Anything that isn’t handed on a presidential spoon, I’m just profoundly frustrated by all this. so, f*** you, man. (f*** ’m) Yeah, yeah, yeah. ignoreland. yeah, yeah, yeah. ignoreland. If they weren’t there we would have created them. maybe, it’s true, But I’m resentful all the same. someone’s got to take the blame. I know that this is vitriol. no solution, spleen-venting, But I feel better having screamed. don’t you? They desecrated winter, nineteen seventy-nine. Capital collateral. brooding duplicitous, wicked and able, media-ready, Heartless, and labeled. super u.s. citizen, super achiever, Mega ultra power dosing. relax. Defense, defense, defense, defense. yeah, yeah, yeah. Yeah, yeah, yeah. ignoreland. yeah, yeah, yeah. ignoreland. Yeah, yeah, yeah. ignoreland. yeah, yeah, yeah.
March 6, 200422 yr The last good album REM made was Green. After that they started playing light rock hits. Monster was OK but was almost cartoonishly rock. Nothing can beat Document.
