MindCrime Posted May 27, 2011 Report Posted May 27, 2011 Daniel Tosh asked Lady Gaga if she really has a disco stick, but he couldn't tell if she was lying because of her P-P-P-Poker Face.
pinkstones Posted May 27, 2011 Report Posted May 27, 2011 That does change the meaning of the song, since there are now multiple devils. The power of the apostrophe! My thought: "Hip Hop Hooray" by Naughty By Nature is the most risqué song you can still play in a family-friendly environment like a minor league baseball game. Unless the kitten in the song really is a baby cat. My favorite thing to do is ask people if they know what the second P in "OPP" stands for, and when they say they don't know or guess incorrectly....I love the looks on their faces when I tell them. Suddenly they don't want to act all hard and say "You down with OPP? Yeah you know me" anymore.
MindCrime Posted May 28, 2011 Report Posted May 28, 2011 VH1 Regular is playing Jesus Jones' Right Here Right Now during their regular rotation. This video is 20 years old and they never play anything more than 6 months old, so this strikes me as odd.
Carl Posted May 30, 2011 Report Posted May 30, 2011 I didn't know VH1 had a "regular rotation" of videos.
Carl Posted June 3, 2011 Report Posted June 3, 2011 I remember when Lisa Bonet was more famous than Lenny Kravitz.
Carl Posted June 9, 2011 Report Posted June 9, 2011 Came across this quote from Jerry Wexler. Good advice for anyone in a band: The way you control a noisy crowd is if you are good you play soft. You don't try and out volume them.
Carl Posted June 27, 2011 Report Posted June 27, 2011 So Bon Iver is pronounced "Bon ee-vehr"? That's almost as bad a Sade being "Shar-day"
RockyRaccoon Posted July 10, 2011 Report Posted July 10, 2011 I just found out that the party rock band LMFAO consists of two people, the son and grandson of Barry Gordy.
Rayzor Posted July 10, 2011 Report Posted July 10, 2011 Now you got me wondering Rock... Just how many 2 man rock bands are there? I know there are craploads of trios
RockyRaccoon Posted July 10, 2011 Report Posted July 10, 2011 Off the top of my head, The White Stripes, Steely Dan, Hall & Oates, Loggins & Messina, Seal & Crofts, Matt & Kim, They Might Be Giants, Gnarls Barkley
Rayzor Posted July 10, 2011 Report Posted July 10, 2011 I meant the ones who actually play with only two people (like the White Stripes) cuz a bunch of the others had(have) about 3 or 4 other band members who pop in and out. Studio drummer, stage drummer etc. I don't know enough about them but maybe even the Stripes hire a stage bassist to fill out their sound a bit on tour. I can't imagine one guitar can shake the foundations of a city arena (unless wielded by Angus Young!) My question wasn't quite worded properly.
Carl Posted July 10, 2011 Report Posted July 10, 2011 Black Keys, maybe? It was just the two of them making a lot of noise when I saw them a while ago.
Rayzor Posted July 10, 2011 Report Posted July 10, 2011 You are a genius Carl! I knew this site orbitted around you for a reason. I forgot about them, they actually do everything without outside help. I knew there had to be a band that did it or are doing it now. Thanks dude! Nice seeing you again too!
Farin Posted July 11, 2011 Report Posted July 11, 2011 The White Stripes and The Black Keys are the first (Rock) bands that came to my mind as well... also Blood Red Shoes
TheLizard Posted July 11, 2011 Report Posted July 11, 2011 An Horse, Sleigh Bells, and The Ting Tings are all two-person bands. Also Daft Punk, if you count them as a band.
Rayzor Posted July 12, 2011 Report Posted July 12, 2011 Farin, I love these kids! Blood Red Shoes rock! Where do you come up with these bands? I love it! TimLizzy, I'm gonna be sure to find what I can about those first two... I had Daft Punk in my head too, but not sure where I'm drawing the line yet
RockyRaccoon Posted July 12, 2011 Report Posted July 12, 2011 I totally forgot about Sleigh Bells! And I even saw them in concert.
Rayzor Posted July 12, 2011 Report Posted July 12, 2011 Thanks Rocky! I was just trying to find out if they play as just a duo... you just answered that for me! Thanks! Seems like there are more and more recently. Can't find any old ones though... It's cool how full the sound is even though these bands only use 1 guitar. Those pedals and amps have come a long way!
Farin Posted July 12, 2011 Report Posted July 12, 2011 (edited) Farin, I love these kids! Blood Red Shoes rock! Where do you come up with these bands? I love it! Either here (if I remember correctly Séba first posted a link that I noticed) or via Last.fm (eg Garage Rock radio) EDIT: Sorry, I forgot you were from Canada... unfortunately the radios are a subscription-only feature there Edited July 12, 2011 by Guest I wrote a reason for my Edit in the text, curiously following a "EDIT:"... strange, I know
Carl Posted August 9, 2011 Report Posted August 9, 2011 Where is Jakob Dylan? Pretty soon George Harrison's kid is going to be more famous. I give Jakob credit for downplaying his dad - he would insist that promoters not advertise him as Bob Dylan's son.
WildChild80 Posted August 11, 2011 Report Posted August 11, 2011 I got a question more so on site buts musically related how come "Hotel California" by The Eagles stays #1 on the daily Top 10? I mean is Don Henley or Glen Frey running that chart...seems kind of odd to me.
TheLizard Posted September 5, 2011 Report Posted September 5, 2011 I like Stephen Malkmus' Jicks/solo stuff more than I like Pavement.
Farin Posted September 17, 2011 Report Posted September 17, 2011 How come the video to R.E.M.'s Ãœberlin was filmed in London?
