    The Album Review Club - Week #216 (page 1412) - Together Alone - Crowded House

    They don’t sound like they are me. And yes, she is a big Grateful Dead fan — or was when she was younger. She likes bouncier music now than she did then. In fact, speaking of, we just got tickets to Sugar in the Bay Area for September. Super excited — we had tickets for them 30+ years ago in...

    The confusion between Geese and Goose is going to be a real problem. This morning my wife said, "Honey, did you hear Geese is coming to Central Oregon?" And I said, "No sweetie, that's GOOSE. Unless you meant the birds." Anyhow, Goose just announced shows up here. I may need to listen in case I...

    This doesn’t sound like him and the spelling and punctuation are far too good.

    No, no — “walking back” some stupid shit-ass decision doesn’t count as common sense. To count, you have to have made the original decision using common sense and executed it in a common sense way. You can’t set fire to a building and then claim calling the fire department is common sense.

    I mean, I have to ask . . . “weeks”, okay. What was the last one? To be fair Trump not coming to the Super Bowl might count (but ICE will be there, so . . .)

    Just came here to post. Trump will claim he’s the “peacemaker.” Bongo will claim he was ordered to direct ICE personnel to carry out their duties as they did by Noem or whatever; she will in turn blame . . . who? Hopefully that finds its way back and up ala Watergate but in this day and age...

    President Trump

    Anyone wanna bet? Trump will claim he stopped his ninth war now that Bognino and some ICE personnel are allegedly leaving Minneapolis . . . Edit: SFgate tagline is wrong; headline reads: Mayor says some federal agents will begin leaving Minneapolis...

    Must say that’s a pretty good one.

    Pretenders cover? That I recall was, shall we say, a bit controversial at the time.

    “That drop” is another musical “moment” I love and I was going to mention that. This Is Happening is a fine record, a nearly-great one to my ears. But I think North American Scum is better than Drunk Girls, and I think Pow Pow and Somebody’s Calling Me weaken it. But along with DYC, I love One...

    Everyone has their own taste and sometimes music can be mostly objectively bad but I also think innovation is a combination of factors, including time! I think a lot of records considered innovative now may not have been considered such at the time of first release or hearing.

    There should be a band named Ashley Young’s Seagull.

    I'd prefer it if posts like this weren't so factually declaratory and more rooted in "my opinion is". I could point out -- and did, though I didn't use your term -- a number of lines that stop me in my tracks and ring my chimes for personal reasons related to my own emotions and...

    On a completely random note, Geese made their debut on Saturday Night Live last evening and apparently it did not go well. Some called them "the worst band in the history of the show" and the show is 50+ years old and FFS Fear played on that show (I like Fear, but they acted as you'd expect they...

    If the NRA really has condemned this (I haven’t seen any articles TBF) and these numbers stay steady I don’t see a way back to normal political discourse any time soon. It’s freaking insane. I mean the equivalent would be ICE (or Trump) forcing a woman to have an abortion at gunpoint and all...
