In defense of Elvis
 

When they say "fuck off", I don't think they're making an offer.

(Never would have said that until you maligned Sabbath.)

Well, they aren't so uncouth as to come right out and ask me for sex. They just are always trying to be around me and ask me to lunch/dinner and to go places with them and buy me things. I just assume that it is because they want sex, but maybe I am too cynical.

Heresy
 

How dare you! Are you truly fucking insane?

Being an annoying, verbose troll is one thing - but maligning one of the top 5 most important bands of the last 40 years is another.

You are my own personal married poster who lives somewhere I never go who I assume is hot based on his great posts who I would definitely cyberstalk and otherwise generally try to contact all the time if I were sunny bunny. You rawk.

Hey, the only bodies I have talked about today are E/O's MIL ass, which apparently spends too much time sitting on the couch, Melissa Rivers' supposedly fake boobs that look disasterously real, and Carmen Electra/Pamela Anderson Lee Kid Rock's high riders.

It is the rest of you that keep bringing up my body. Fine with me. Keep up the good work, people! :D

BB, didn't you play bass for them?

A pro pos of nothing, don't you think that the eight bars of synth-violin before the opening lyric of (and elsewhere throughout) Eurythmics' "Sweet Dreams (Are Made Of This)" would be an outstanding beat for someone to sample? I should be a producer, I swear. What other classics are out there waiting to be sampled?

Hi rapist wannabe, haven't seen you around in awhile.

You know the members of those "top 5 most important bands of the last 40 years"? They call people like you, the "little people." But keep defending them. They are laughing AT you all the way to the bank. I am sure they appreciate it.

Movie recommendations?
 

I think the dubbing sometimes enhances the movie-going experience. John Woo's "The Killer" is far superior dubbed (and I've seen each 5+ times); I love Chow and Sally Yeh's bizarre british accents. For some reason, the jump-cut to Chow Yun Fat opening the door playing harmonica (after hearing what we assume to be non-diagetic background harmonica music for about 5 seconds) is just not as funny in the subtitled version.

First off, this was funnie

Second, why the self imposed exile? Didnt you do a lot of work to get this going? why not help keep it going by throwing in your oft funny commentary? Obviously you are lurking so its not like you are afraid of being caught surfing here or allt he time it takes to follwo the boards. Surely you are past the SI style goodbye and all the attendant, please dont go we love you bullshit (except this post). And you know that you are probably not gonna get huge rounds of welcome back, long time no see, the board was empty without you, bc nobody does that anymore.

SO whats the point? You dont want to have a huge number of posts like me and Francis? WHo gives a shit? Does it really matter in the grand scheme of things? Isnt the whole point of being here to entertain yourself?

Re: the propriety of quoting lyrics and riffs, popular dance music has been doing that farther back than people even thought that music was entitled to copyright protection. Soloists in Dixieland jazz bands could get a cheap rise out of a dance hall crowd by throwing in a improvisational lick from popular song B while riffing on popular song A. The artist didn't have any sense of responsibility for whether every single listener realized it was a quotation, because music doesn't have footnotes. In that sense, sampling and plagiarism has a proud history that predates recorded music.

To put it into your generation's terms, BB, don't condemn the Beatles for throwing that cut from La Marseillaise before "All You Need Is Love." Even if your comrades fought and died while singing that song on the battlements of Paris.

I'm not trying to hear that, see?
 

What's your man got to do with me?

Taken, shmaken. Do you really think your hottie boyfriend is going to mean anything to you once I come to town? You are mine. Maybe not right now. Maybe not tomorrow. But soon. In fact, I think I have some "depos" scheduled for your neck of the woods real soon. You can put on some Elvis. I'll wear a G.I. uniform. We'll fuck like animals.

I am not sure where the market is headed, but I prefer something more unusual to my ear mixed in to a track.

I have been hearing a lot of interesting tracks built on tropical and african beats and mixed into house. My favorite beat last year was DJ Quik's Addictive beat built on the Indian sample (that someone really should have checked and cleared first).

So, almost the world's oldest profession, but not quite?



Actually, your posting brings back memories of Bull Run.
