I posted earlier, I thought, but I wasn't logged in. Hm. I remember I had...
"Relating to a Psychopath," Macy Gray. "Waiting for the Great Leap Forwards," Billy Bragg. "Some Weird Sin," Iggy Pop. "Fuck Up Session #1," Beck. "Fuck Up Session #2," Beck.
As bad of an idea as the first fuck-up session is, the second one is just so much worse.
Bad ideas abound on my ipod, therefore I must share. Hee!

Edited because, as usual, I am the Queen of Typos and anal retentive enough to let it bug me.
Man, I was so chuffed to finally get a copy of Doug after all these years. I saw the Coolies right after Doug came out - it was a crazy show, and, hands down, the most painfully loud show I've ever attended!
Boyfriend as Pussy Cook?? I do hope you memorialized such an occasion with a photo!

'kiss them for me' - siouxsie and the banshees 'killing an arab' - the cure 'just say yes' - the cure 'fear the moon' - the clouds 'senseless acts' - the clouds 'tear me apart' - the clouds 'hole in my heart' Cyndi Lauper 'wave of mutilation' - the pixies 'the killing jar' - siouxsie and the banshees 'the last beat of my heart' - siouxsie and the banshees 'you come in burned' - dandy warhols 'little drop of poison' - tom waits 'i fought the law' - sex pistols 'blow up the outside world' soundgarden
AAAAaaaaaaaaaaand that should about do it for my music collection, unless I start trandlating the bellydance tracks. ;)
Re: some bands are just good at bad ideas...floopybooFebruary 14 2008, 04:20:44 UTC
I'll put it this way... some tracks, PARTICULARLY hindi tracks, should not be translated, as concepts such as 'my father disapproves of my lover & has arranged for me to marry my cousin, so i'm going to kill myself' tent to not exactly be up there in the good idea stakes. ;)
That and I've got a lot of Arabian Emo. (not joking - let me know if you're interested in some. ;))

Right; it is almost forgivable to fuck up once. But to do it twice? Not sure that's as easy to let slide! :D
And I'm mad you thought of "Some Weird Sin" before I did. :P

Awesome.
My friend Lake put on a mini-musical at Backdrop Gallery in Atlanta (back when it still existed) called DOUG! based on the Coolies double CD.
My boyfriend at the time was the Pussy Cook.
LOL

I regret I wasn't more of a shutterbug back then. I've since become more keen on documenting my friends, activities and various comings and goings.
