FINAL ROUND & RESULTS!: Who's The Worst ALTERNATIVE RADIO GOD?
Wrapping up our look at the worst of alternative radio play's biggest acts by honoring recent U2 and Foos. Plus, the results! And a "4CD" celebration!

In the words of Fall Out Boy, “we did it. It’s done.” After a look at the latest charters by U2 & the Foos, I can now say which 8 bands’ 20+song alt-radio catalogs I consider cumulatively crappy. An added treat: a “4CD box set” for your own research! anthony-is-writing.ghost.io/final-round-...
A follow-up to my 2005 albums post, concerning 30 great songs from other albums released that year. 50 Cent/ Billy Idol/ Vitalic/ Rob Thomas/ Martha Wainwright is just a sixth of the ride! Ding ding! anthony-is-writing.ghost.io/30-couch-jum...
30 Couch-Jumping Jams From 2005!
Thirty terrific songs from albums turning 20. Odds are good you've forgotten a few. Or actively avoided them.

Have I really internally debated the quality of LCD Soundsystem's "Movement" for twenty years?

I’m not saying I got ripped off, but this “American Canto” sure sounds a lot like the “America In 185 Limericks” pitch I shopped around.

My ultimate fantasy, total pipe-dream, is that Bill Clinton expresses regret that he didn’t resign over Lewinsky (forget the “lie” or whatabouts, bosses shouldn’t be getting off with interns, period), comes forward with whatever he knows, shows it’s possible to fall on your sword & waves to DJT.

I truly hope I don’t have a wilder moment of synchronicity on Neil Young’s 80th birthday than hearing Pearl Jam’s “Jeremy” at Krispy Kreme.

Democrats at every level of power could simply repeat "he must resign" over and over and over again. It's what the GOP would do if the situation were reversed. Further erode his power by pushing him to lash out more.

Watching the rock hall thing and I swear for a sec I thought Beck might be Michael Cera. Tangentially, i wish u could send this pic of Beck (who soooo wants in the hall, apparently) playing with Flea in Stevie & The Family Stone back to him thirty years ago.

Folks to get the dem VP nomination in the 21st century, but never serve: Joe Lieberman, John Edwards, Tim Kaine, Tim Walz. Really hope Walz breaks the “ok gonna piss all over my legacy” streak.

Despite knowing this review, I was blown away by the self-regard when I saw the movie. Esp when Buster Keaton does his bit straight late in the film, and provides the first real laugh.
LIMELIGHT (1952)
Chaplin's sentimental and high-minded view of theatre and himself...This is surely the richest hunk of self-gratification since Huck and Tom attended their own funeral—and Chaplin serves it up straight.

If you are a Gen Xer, it is your responsibility to tell anyone 45-20 that “I wanna sex you up” was about a dangerous trend of people having sex in hot tubs on sedatives. Doing it till you both wake up, making love until you drown, it was a youth fad scandal!

I refuse to acknowledge anything after CMB. They made five great singles (the racy one about narcoleptic hot tub sex, the bilingual ballad, the insanely happy one, the slow jam fucksong and the funky fucksong) and dropped the mic. No worlds left to conquer.

The audacity to say “we need to get past who betrayed who, and come together” to the people who don’t have the ability or POWER to betray, only be betrayed.
Many feel betrayal and frustration, and the feelings are hot right now.
I get it. I have my own feelings.

Don’t trust me, I can’t believe how much I’m enjoying PiL’s This Is What You Want…This Is What You Get, an album I’ve spent decades assuming I couldn’t possibly like. Turns out to be very Romeo Void and builds off Martin Atkins’ work on Flowers Of Romance. “Love Song” better in context. Damn.
