I love TMBG
Lie still, little bottle, and shake my shaky hand Black coffee's not enough for me, I need a better friend One pill at the bottom is singing my favorite song I know I must investigate I hope that I can sing along There's no time for metaphors cried the little pill to meHe said, "Life is a placebo masquerading as a simile"* Well, I knew that pill was lying Too gregarious, too nice But as he walked I had to sing this twice Lie still, little bottleDon't twist, it ain't twistin' time With every move you make you just disintegrate my ever-troubled mind Lie still, little bottle, and shake my shaky handBlack coffee's not enough for me, I need a better friend One pill at the bottom is singing my favorite song I know I must investigate I hope that I can sing along Lie still, little bottleLie still Lie still, little bottle Lie still Lie still Lie still Asgara "Embrace the pain, spank your inner moppet, whatever....but get over it" http://asgarasworld.bravepages.comhttp://perditionsgate.bravepages.com

It sounds kind of like that music/sound from the whole "badger badger badger mushroom" thing, if anyone knows what I'm talking about. Very strange (;.

I have all my favorite bands actually at my work at the moment.Since it's the holliday season, all my colleagues have mysteriously dissapeared to sunnier environments and I can play my music at work Helium VolaBlood Axis & La joyaux de la Princesse Laibach Faith no more Arcana Die Form Clan of Xymox der Blutharsch Marillion Breath of life Puissance Kraftwerk Hocico and many others, but the above definitely get the most time in my cd player.

A Morality Play In Three Acts
Act one, the smell of green leather, French polish, quite pristine, not a hair out of place, not a wrinkle, not a crease, the silverware all clean. Exquisite chaussures grace marble floors, be upstanding, for men of yore. But wait, who's this, sticky under the collar in Elsinore? Enter silent comedy geek with dynamite down his pants. Nervous, shuffling on his feet, leading a merry song and dance. A back seat driver of good moral fibre, holding up the light. He's made his own bed, now he's got to lie in it. Ha ha! Serves him right. Act two, a new New England, watch the good seed grow. But who is this miss out-of-wedlock, with children of her own? Enter witch finder general, of melancholy humor, and irascible power, all dressed in goody-goody two shoes, pulling the heads off flowers. 'Let this be,' said he, 'a lesson, your dirty linen is your own reflection.' Said I, 'Somehow it just doesn't wash, away with your petty inquisition. In the vernacular, most unkind sir, fuck with me and you will see the flesh and blood and bone, the black eye of thine enemy.' Dance, dance. Act three, 'I am the lord of the dance,' said he. John the Baptist, dripping wet, playing sir politick-would-be. Backslapping, backsliding, back to basic instincs, backfiring. By your own choice you're on a hiding to nothing, I ask you which is more comforting? The thought that I am bad seed, gone to seed, turned sour by TV sex and violence. Or even worse, am I unleashed by my own volition to do you ill? 'Condemn a little more, understand a little less.' Oh sad sir, thou jest! Ha ha! I am Prometheus, prepare thee to meet thy nemesis!- Chumbawumba Don't Pray On Me A grizzly scene on my electron beamtold a story about human rights, so all the Kings horses and all the Kings men had a riot for two days and nights well, the city exploded but the gates wouldn't open so the company asked him to quit now everybody's equal just don't measure it Well Hanson did it to Hesterand Mark David did it to John and maybe Jack did it to Marilyn but he did it to South Vietnam for beauty and glory for money, love and country everybody's doing it, don't do that to me A bitter debate and a feminine fatelie in tandem like two precious babes while the former gets warmer it's the latter that matters except on the nation's airwaves and custodians of public opinion stayed back after vainly discussing her rights lay hands off her body it's not your fucking life! Now I don't know what stopped Jesus Christfrom turning every hungry stone into bread and I don't remember hearing how Moses reacted when the innocent first born sons lay dead well I guess God was a lot more demonstrative back when he flamboyantly parted the sea, now everybody's praying, don't pray on me - Bad Religion The Ghost Of Tom Joad Men walkin' long the railroad tracksGoin' someplace there's no going back Highway patrol choppers comin' up over the ridge Hot soup on a campfire under the bridge Shelter line stretchin' round the corner Welcome to the new world order Families sleepin' in their cars in the Southwest No home no job no peace no rest The highway is alive tonightBut nobody's kiddin' nobody about where it goes I'm sittin' down here in the campfire light Searchin' for the ghost of Tom Joad He pulls a prayer book out of his sleeping bagPreacher lights up a butt and takes a drag Waitin for when the last shall be first and the first shall be last In a cardboard box 'neath the underpass Got a one-way ticket to the promised land You got a hole in your belly and a gun in your hand Sleeping on a pillow of solid rock Bathin' in the city aqueduct The highway is alive tonightWhere it's headed everybody knows I'm sittin' down here in the campfire light Waitin' on the ghost of Tom Joad Now Tom said "Mom wherever there's a cop beatin' a guyWherever a newborn baby cries Where there's a fight 'gainst the blood and hatred in the air Look for me Mom I'll be there Wherever there's somebody fightin' for a place to stand Or decent job or a helpin' hand Wherever somebody's strugglin' to be free Look in their eyes Mom you'll see me." Well the highway is alive tonightBut nobody's kiddin' nobody about where it goes I'm sittin down here in the campfire light With the ghost of old Tom Joad - Bruce Springsteen/Rage Against The Machine This message has been edited by contracycle, 07-22-2004 08:47 AM

glordag writes: P.S.B2P: I wouldn't say only "stupid people" listen to rap/hip-hop/whatever else you listed. That's a pretty bad generalization, IMO. There is DEFINITELY a cultural association though, and not just with race. I, myself, don't like a lot of the influence the rap/hip-hop (please note I'm not saying black here, as that's NOT what I'm trying to imply) culture is having on the US. I mean, I know I'm only 19, but it seems like the culture in our country is going to hell. Just from what I gather about the 50's...comparing that to today...wow. Seems like people just behaved better in general, things were less complex, and life had more quality. If anyone wants to debate/discuss this, we should probably start a new thread or something, but now I'm off topic, so I'll stop this post . I was just kidding. I have friends that listen to rap.

If you were a white middle-class male, that was probably true. You might be interested to know that (from what I recall from a sociology class) tranquilizer use among middle-class women was three times as high as it is today, and teenage unwed pregnancy was much, much higher as well. People get this rosy-colored view of the 50's because they don't realize that problems simply weren't talked about back then. Sure, white folks may have been polite to white folks, but it was also an era of raging civil inequality and racism, and sexual repression of women. You might want to do some more research yourself before coming to a conclusion, but try not to pit the fictional history of the 50's against the reality of today. That's not exactly a fair fight.

Right...I mean, I knew I probably had a twisted view of it all, but I was just going off of impressions, ya know? But yeah, those are all good points. Probably too much media-contamination on my part, lol. That, and a lack of thinking about what I said before I posted. Thanks for the corrections and insight.

I'm one of the few people I know who loves TMBG (they might be giants). Seeing a free TMBG concert in Brooklyn a week from tonight. Hells yeah. As for my own music tastes... TMBG makes the list, along with: Elvis CostelloJohnny Cash David Bowie REM Velvet Underground The Clash The Pogues Talking Heads Beck Nine Inch Nails The Pixies The Smiths And more that will surely occur to me as soon as I hit "submit reply". "Egos drone and pose alone, Like black balloons, all banged and blown On a backwards river the infidels shiver in the stench of belief. And tell my mama I'm a hundred years late; I'm over the rails and out of the race The crippled psalms of an age that won't thaw are ringing in my ears" -Beck

My fave (maybe behind Ana Ng or Kiss Me, Son of God):
I will never say the word
"Procrastinate" again; I'll never See myself in the mirror with my eyes closed I didn't apologize for When I was eight and I made my younger brother Have to be my personal slave Did a large procession wave theirTorches as my head fell in the basket, And was everybody dancing on the casket? Now it's over I'm dead and I haven't done anything that I wantOr, I'm still alive and there's nothing I want to do
