BG hates Genesis, and AG is bored with me.
I'm so chagrined. And bereft. Certainly abashed. Life seems pointless.
I don't have Pinko's way with surrealism. Nor do I have Snag's affinity for Meat, nor his background in Suburban Debauchery.
Blue Girl and Jennifer have their wealthy, interesting jet setting life styles.
What, O what do I write to entertain AG?
Maybe something about eunuchs.
Nahh, we'll just post this:
I Am Spartacus
34 minutes ago
I am sobbing over here that you would *ever* write that I hate Genesis.
ReplyDeleteThey are the TRUE LOVE OF MY LIFE. I would marry them if I could.
(And they would totally know how to play the music in the ceremony)
The epic drama of their chord changes course through my veins.
They are my only ray of sunshine in this otherwise dark and twisted world.
I can't *wait* till Thurs so we can talk about it.
If I was a true jet setter, I'd be booking my flight to Chicago-bang-bang right this very second.
But, alas, that is not meant to be. Now the only thing I have going for me is the show YOU'RE going to see...
And Zelmo? I heard what you said!
Judo chop!
Actually, Zelmo was totally blown away by the Mekons show, and apparently STILL can't talk.
ReplyDeleteI figure he's gone off the Genesis, and is looking for someone to take his tickets.
Once you go Mekes, everything else sounds bleak.
BP, you are the master of the chili dog, and that is not a compliment I give lightly. If you have those in your life, there's nothing else you need.
ReplyDeleteAh, BP you are a master of pointing out irony on topics you admitted aren't up to speed on. That qualifies you as a "deep thinking" pundit any day of the week. So you have that going for you... which is nice.
ReplyDeleteAs to Genesis-- in a weird serendipity I happened to browse the UW-Parkside Library's CD collection today where, lo!, I found the Genesis Platinum Collection. Three discs of Genesis yumminess. What a fabulous cross-section of the band's work.
Made this rainy, gloomy, icky little Monday much more pleasant. That and the Packers thrashing the neighboring Vikings fairly thoroughly yesterday.
I neither confirm nor deny whatever it is I allegedly said.
ReplyDeleteAllegedly speaking.
And although I rather enjoyed the Mekons, they will be forgotten on Wednesday, Oct 3rd after 8:00pm. No offense intended, but they are but a slight puff of musical fluff in comparison to the band I like to call the GENESIS.
Nick, I wasn't trying to point OUT irony, I was ASKING.
ReplyDeleteBut otherwise, yes. Yes I am. When do I get my slot on CNN?
Zelmo, dollar for dollar, how does Genesis even come close? Besides, BG says they suck this year.
Zelmo, I did not say that Genesis sucked. For starters, I don't use such language and secondly, Genesis could never s*** to me. Not a word that goes with the love of my life. Ever.
ReplyDeleteBP's just livin' in his own fantasy world...which is nice, as Nick W. would say.
Oh. And BP?
STOP talking about how MONEY works into the deal where love is concerned. I have to say, that might be slightly Republican of you.
Ok, I reread the post and I guess I took it in a way you didn't mean. Sorry, I guess I'm a little touchy about the Brewers because they REALLY should be in the playoffs. Plus, I hate the Cubs. I do not hate Ned Yost, however, and I wish he was a better game day manager. But he's not. He's a sucky game day manager (I have no compunction about using such language) and we need a manager that won't lose us a dozen games. Especially when we lose the division by two games.
ReplyDelete"...which is nice" is actually stolen from a movie. Not a terribly hard trivia question, but... anybody know the movie?
I admittedly don't know the Mekons, but I have trouble believing they are in Genesis' ballpark. There are only about ten bands I would put in that ballpark.
Depends on what you use as a yardstick, Nick.
ReplyDeleteNow for me, when I see the Mekons, I don't have to sit through Hold On My Heart and No Reply At All and I Can't Dance and Anything She Does and Illegal Alien and ....
That's worth a fair bit right there.
Plus, the connection is closer. I talked with the Mekons after the show, got 'em to sign my posters. Since Zelmo ain't coming through with the Daryl Action, seems that kind of thing won't happen Wednesday night.
But it's hard to compare, it's true. The Mekes play small, intimate clubs and, in the words of Mick Jones, "Just Play Music", no frills: you, them and the songs. The songs have to stand without theatrics or fireworks.
Also, I admit the Mekons ain't everybody's cup of tea. Kind of a small, committed fan base of fervent fans, while everybody else scratches their head going "Huh?" - kind of similar to Tom Waits.
But; I would rate them in a different fashion. There are few bands I will see in what the industry calls a 'barn': Would be a VERY short list, including Genesis, REM...and the Mekons. But the Mekes will probably NEVER get there, I am willing to admit; the music industry is totally stacked against them.
But based on THAT standard, a very personal one true, they compare very well.
Well, Nick, it's from "CaddyShack"
ReplyDeleteSo I got DAT goin for me. Which is nice.
First of all, maybe you could get your blog hole off of BG's site and come to RoD, bitch.
ReplyDeleteSecond, feck you and any chili dog that looks like you.
Third, so not banned. Not even close you BG flirt.
Boy, oh boy.
ReplyDeleteIf there's ever a face to face meet up between BP and AG -- I'm there! With a video camera to boot.
It'll be youtube gold, Jerry. Gold!
I get so BORED over at Republic of Chili dogs.
ReplyDeleteNo Genesis. OR chili dogs.
Blue Girl, I will pay you good money for a copy of that DVD.
ReplyDeleteIt's Genesis Eve!
ReplyDeleteSnag, you got it.
My "wealthy, interesting jet setting life style"... is that what it is!?! Well, had I known, I would have had the help clean out the hamster cage last night.
ReplyDeleteI get so BORED over at Republic of Chili dogs.
ReplyDeleteI'm sorry we don't cater to 1992. I can see how the new black is confusing to you.
What next? You want us to talk about how the Lemonheads used to have it all.
As if!
