Re: American Band- 9/30/16

I totally get what you're saying, they're generally more straight-forward and catchier than Patterson's stuff, especially over the last couple of albums.

Re: American Band- 9/30/16

btw this isn't aimed at just you Iowan as I've seen multiple people (especially on the DBT fb page) make remarks regarding Patterson and "preachers & killing" songs, but by my math Patterson has had 147 original songs officially released (not counting "Town Burned Down", covers or multiple versions...

Re: American Band- 9/30/16

The "cramming" thing isn't about the number of words, it's about phrasing: where the syllables fall in relation to the rhythm. For example, the line "Once they banned imagine it became the same old war it's always been" packs a lot of words into a small space, but it sounds completely natural when ...

Re: Books Thread

It seems like a book you could reread in sections, though, just picking chapters here and there. I feel like I could just go over everything Koroviev and Behemoth again right now.

Re: Books Thread

Yeah, to be honest I'm not entirely sure why you'd want to! It would be pretty hard to follow. Though I guess they've made that 8-hour adaptation of Satantango, so nothing is impossible.

I take it it wasn't your favorite?

Just finished it. I found it hilarious, powerful and charming. I laughed out loud a couple times, most notably in the bureau scene where no one can stop singing. Frankly, I'm just really glad I read it.

Re: American Band- 9/30/16

I've thought this for awhile now, but in general Cooley is the better lyricist/guitar player/songwriter, but Patterson is the more interesting one. He misses a lot, but when he hits - goddamn. I don't think I've ever teared up to a Cooley song, but Patterson has a couple gut punchers on AB alone - "...

Re: American Band- 9/30/16

Of all the songs, "Filthy & Fried" was the one that brings the tears to my eyes. I need to get deeper. Wow, really? Guns Of Umpqua is the tear jerker for me. I can't listen to it around people really, if I do I try to take my mind elsewhere because if I listen too close I will get glassy eyed. Yeah...

Re: American Band- 9/30/16

I think that "KH" has a great premise, some good lyrics, but musically it falls flat. It's stonesy but it a totally turgid way, it doesn't pick up any energy like "Shit Shots Count" or "Ramon Casiano," maybe Cooley's best song in a long time.

Regardless, can't wait to listen to this more.

Re: American Band- 9/30/16

Seems to me like there are only one real clunker ("Kinky Hypocrites") and a whole ton of potential classics ("Ramon Casiano," "Darkened Flags," "Ever South" (especially)), and it's way more consistent than English Oceans. Edit: not sure what I was thinking about "Sun Don't Shine." Not a clunker at a...

Here's a wild thought: I have, pretty much 100% of the time, had an even lower opinion of Gawker than you do. And yet, this is still a net loss. Just because this is a jury trial (which, incidentally, was initiated so that tapes of Hogan spouting racist invective wouldn't go public) doesn't mean it ...

Gawker did a lot of scummy things that were perfectly within the law. They sucked, but it was for the greater good. Peter Thiel shut down a site he didn't like by secretly funding a bullshit lawsuit with his massive fortune. You really think he won't do it again? It already almost happened to Mother...
