Certain bands make me run too fast
but i'm always listening to metal anyway so i'm tuned into that. Pitchshifter makes me too speedy though.

I'm like that with certain System songs
they'll just come on and then I'll subconsciously start matching the speed and end up giving myself a hernia.

Didn't they do one
about 'woo let's paaarty' or something. I nearly tore my lower lip from my face belming, listening to those lyrics.

oh I just assumed
it was shorthand for System of a Down. Who never did a song about partying. Unless you count B.Y.O.B

*googles* that's not the song.
However:

Why don't presidents fight the war?
Why do they always send the poor?
Why don't presidents fight the war?
Why do they always send the poor? [X4]

has not endeared them to me ever so much. That's 'D- see me' lyric writing if you ask me.

Most bands have written some shockingly shit lyrics at times

( Labia Majora You keep on talking but it makes no sense at all, Wed 26 May 2010, 9:46, Reply)

Those
are spectacularly bad, though, you must agree. A-level student poetry drivel.

I can think of only one worse example at present
There's a Human League song called something like "The things that dreams are made of" - look them up if you dare*. They're farcical.

*_{I know this because my sister had one of her ill-advised moments and bought a copy of Dare. I nearly disowned her.}

Their 'The Lebanon'
has what is generally regarded as the worst lyrics of any song, ever - something about 'where there were some shops' or something.

Ahem
on the subject of godawful lyrics, I am forced to once again bring up the musical crimes of the Gallagher brothers

See the discussion above.
You would have thought that their manager...one of the band...possibly even their mum...might have eventually said,
"Noel, Liam...what the fuck is a 'wonderwall?' Oh, and Liam, darling, swaggering around like that just makes you look like a wanker. You used to be such a nice boy. Noel, your Dad and I have been talking and we've agreed you're a fucking shit guitarist. We've part-exchanged your guitar for a recorder. We know you can't play that either but hopefully it will be less obvious."

Wow.

(LongJohnBaldry, Wed 26 May 2010, 10:11, Reply)

True
but that is the chorus, and if you listen to the song, it's speeded up/sung over itself and 4 repetitions take up about fifteen seconds

Anybody who uses the word "party" as a verb
deserves to have their lower lip torn from their face.

System of a Down are not shit
they're excellent at being what they are.

ten years I've been looking for someone who appreciates metal and yet thinks SOAD are a bag o' bobbins

I only have one bobbin left
so I would think a bag of bobbins was brilliant. So there.

November 30th
you've got plenty of time to find the perfect bag of bobbins.

I'll see what I can do
what the fuck is a bobbin?

How's tricks, old chap?
(LongJohnBaldry, Wed 26 May 2010, 9:57, Reply)

Not bad
Bit musically angry though, it seems.
( Monty Boyce, My cheese game is strong, Wed 26 May 2010, 9:59, Reply)

Just a little
I'm just generally misanthropic and irritable this morning. Don't know why, as I was a bit starstruck last night - came off the stage after a set at the old blues jam just as this great big whale of a man lumbered up. Turns out it was none other than Buddy Whittington (John Mayall's current guitarist), and, whilst I was a little disappointed that I didn't get to jam with him myself, the set he played was absolutely fucking superb.
(LongJohnBaldry, Wed 26 May 2010, 10:02, Reply)

One of my pals
is best mates with Mayall's son Gaz (of 'Gaz' Rockin' Blues' and The Trojans fame). Apparently:

a) John Mayall is a cunt and
b) has one of the most epic porn collections of all time
( Monty Boyce, My cheese game is strong, Wed 26 May 2010, 10:17, Reply)

Haha, I don't know whether to be surprised by the pr0n.
But for someone who's made a 40-year career singing the blues with a voice that was so entirely unsuited to the blues, I guess he must be a little arrogant at the very least.

Seriously, on Padlock on the Blues there's at least one track with John Lee Hooker playing guitar...and Mayall sings on them! Surely if you had one of the best blues voices playing on your album you'd politely hand over the vocal duties?
(LongJohnBaldry, Wed 26 May 2010, 10:23, Reply)

I like 'Blues from Laurel Canyon' a lot, and 'Bare Wires'
but yes, that's a fucking weird decision. Weird guy, weird beard, weird porn.
( Monty Boyce, My cheese game is strong, Wed 26 May 2010, 10:27, Reply)

Perhaps it was a case of,
"Look, you can sing on this one if you want...but you'll have to look at more of my lobster porn first!"

Sorry Monty, just noticed this. Either that or my brain refused to accept it as it appears to be an example of us agreeing on something

you managed to agree
a mutual cottaging spot. That was quite impressive agreement. Or was it not your brain that arranged that?
