IV: Donna Summer 1948-2012 | Donald "Duck" Dunn 1941-2012

[Don]

This may be the best cover of this song I've ever heard.
Man, just... woah...

That sentiment is shared, bro. Shared, and me left me entirely stunned by the ethereal sound and appreciative of you posting that.
And I've got nothing.

Covers?

I think we need to start spoilering our posts again :/

[ArmsAreLoud]

As much as I like Muse if you listen to them enough eventually all their songs start sounding the same

[Gzar]

I'm partial to this cover, myself:



Also:



No, I have no idea why there's an up picture on this, but I think this puts the original to shame.

[Artisticpolo]

I tend to have an allergic reaction to Muse, I personally cannot stand them. Especially with the intense levels of pretension riddled through "The Resistance", bluh.


Have I posted this before? Oh well, I can't get that rotor organ out of my head.

[ArmsAreLoud]

Yeah I'm not going to argue with Muse being stupidly pretentious


This is probably like blasphemous or something but I actually prefer this song with this guy's bass work on top of it.

The Horrors

Are they even wearing pants, or is that just black body paint?

Apparently, the only way to get into the band is to be able to wear pants that skinny -- otherwise you are not worthy. Musical talent is not their priority, pants are.

Well okay, maybe not, but man do they have a talent for it.

[Gzar]

I first heard Knights of Cydonia several years ago as part of that Guitar Hero thing and thought, hey this is a somewhat fun and cheesy song. I looked up a couple of their other songs and they bored the tears right out of me. Tears just up and left. "Fuck no, we're not sticking around for this contrived pretentious bullshit," cried the tears, they themselves being robbed of their ocular secretions by the shear boredom induced in the moment.

[Stij]

Yeah, I'm with you. Knights of Cydonia is fun, but the rest of their songs (that I've heard, anyway) are just boring and kind of pompous.

Apparently, the only way to get into the band is to be able to wear pants that skinny -- otherwise you are not worthy. Musical talent is not their priority, pants are.

Oh hey that was the plot to a Mighty Boosh episode

[Gzar]

That was also the Horrors in that episode, haha.

Oh snap -- you're good. I like it when people spot what I'm referencing. c:

In my opinion,it is superior to the Pink Floyd version.
Also Muse disappointed me severely.

spoiled for titties

Titties are awesome, they can't spoil anything.

[Superfrequency]

I said for, not by.

I find that I have created a mental bell curve for judging bands based on how well their pants fit. Either end of the spectrum is instant hate. Like, I didn't even listen to The Horrors, but I already hate them.

[Artisticpolo]

I said for, not by.

Okay, I admit, that was a terribly long stretch by me.

I find that I have created a mental bell curve for judging bands based on how well their pants fit.

So if their pants fit really well you hate them, yet if they are really baggy you also hate them? For clarification does this mean you also hate MC Hammer?

[Superfrequency]

I would not describe the above pants as "fitting well". If you can't remove your pants in less than five seconds, they don't fit you.

I am talking tight pants vs sagging. Hammer pants are a different thing entirely.

[Artisticpolo]

If you can't remove your pants in less than five seconds, they don't fit you.

You know, I have no idea, I've never seen any of The Horrors remove their pants. I bet they don't even remove them in the conventional way either; they've probably got zips we're not seeing. I mean, that has to be the case, no mortal could fit in those otherwise.
I feel the urge to search for a band that is an exception to your rule. One day... one day.

[Superfrequency]

Those pants are skin tight. I can tell just by looking that getting them on and off is an event.

I have the audacity to wear relaxed fit pants in 2012 (so uncool!), which is good because they don't cost $250 a pair and I don't have to pay someone to put them in a rock tumbler and cut holes in the knees like an asshole.

In all seriousness I am quick to judge bands that are too interested in their appearance, but not interested enough to have outlandish costumes.

Somewhat relatedly, I own a "distressed" shirt that I have had for so long it has real cracks and fake cracks on the printing. Am I double hip?!?

Stupid.

[Gzar]

And thus all of visual kei shed a tear and then moved on.

[Artisticpolo]

In all seriousness I am quick to judge bands that are too interested in their appearance

It's cool. I can't help but love their music but that's just me. I mean, if I'm honest I'm not entirely sure if they're so concerned about their appearance as they at first seem.

not interested enough to have outlandish costumes.

Are there bands that actually do tha-


Oh dear god.

[Gzar]

Now we post bands performing in costume:

[Stij]

a compelling point, supes

but what do you have to say to THIS
