@[jamison106:4026] responding to a post I made 10 years ago?! NICE!
Thanks for clarifying they both had Ian Mackaye in the band though. Heck while we're at it, let's not forget Embrace, Egg Hunt, Pailhead, and The Evens.
Also, learn to write complete sentences. Also pick up Red Medicine if you haven't already. |

haha. if any of you perhaps get a chance to see a andrew wk interview, you'll see he is very, very, very far from a "party-till-I-puke" macho dude. before taking on his "andrew wk party sound" he did a ton of noise experiments and un-commerical material. Heck, a couple of years back he even played drums withe the BOREDOMS on their 77 drummer gig. its just really funny in my viewpoint seeing a noise musician becoming quite popular and seeing him on par with a bunch of other mainstream garbage. food for thought baby! |

| Sonic Youth – I Love You Mary Jane (with Cypress Hill) Lyrics

although Sonic Youth weren't a drug-free band, this song is quite mocking the addiction and ignorance of a cliche-party-causal-pot-user in modern society. the second verse just furthers the blow showing user's denial how many use it to find escapism from their problems. Its written from the perspective of a indulgent idiot in a way to mock them from SY, funny enough I think the people they target in this song don't realize this song is actually making fun of them. |

mike watt plays bass on this song.
one ironic thing about this is that he recorded this with them not long after his bandmate d boon's death, which was in a car crash.
also, the last lines of the song are mr. watt speaking, and he wrote those out of experience being a meter man. It's really funny you have this poetic deep piece of avant garde, and the song ends with a simple pun. haha. |

this song is about a roadie (i think, if i remember right) from another ealy 80's indie band that was killed by a axe murderer. It's the BHS's way of a tribute to him. |

mr. haynes has made it pretty clear in "Our Band Could Be Your Life" that he dosent really give a shit about the whole "selling out" and signing to a major label shit. I mean, I doubt i'd enjoy spending years riding around on a cramped bus with no money.
I overall think this is a great song. I mean I can hear stuff from their early days in this song, sure its more poppy, but there's nothing wrong with a pop song. I can hear tape loops and vocal trackings all threw this song. |

haha this almost resembles Nirvana's "Come as You Are"
I think this was almost a pick-me-up song to the reaction of Ian Curtis/Malcolm Owen Deaths in the music world in 80/81. As far as I know the Damned had good relations with both of the singer's bands. Then again Im just guessing here, Im not sure when this song was written. |

It was one of their last punkier songs before getting the sound they are known for. The reason for the title of the song is because Martin Hannett produced it using digital delay. It was the first song they recorded with him and the last song they preformed live, like said earlier |

| Fall Out Boy – Love Will Tear Us Apart (Joy Division cover) Lyrics
| 18 years ago
|
"but the fact that the guy who sings it sounds like hes on dying"
Possibly the only reason this song was ever a hit for Joy Division is because their lead singer, Ian Curtis killed himself shortly before their first american tour.
FOB manadged to take a song sang in utter depression by a band that never was big in their time and turn it into another fucking way of making themselves look like they are "emotional" . This hardly a tribute to Joy Division, as its coming from a "punk" band who cites Guns and Roses as their influence. This is just as bad as Hilary Duff's "My Generation" and Limp Bizkit's "Behind Blue Eyes" covers. You people are idiots for even liking this. then again, i dont think Ian Curtis was "hawtt" enough for any of you to even listen to Joy Division. Hell, I'd think Pete Hook would be pissed for ruining his stunning bass line. |

This is a cover of a Johnny Cash Song, which is possibly about Cash's veiw upon the music industry and his career in the late seventies and eighties. He was basically forgotten by everyone about and his label dropped him, i dont blame him for feeling so betrayed.
Nick gives a nice apmosphere to this song, its really good. |

The Real Title to this is "Wait For The Blackout", one of the prime songs on the Damned's "The Black Album". The songs merely about darkness, However Alkaline Trio's cover can harldy compare to the original version of the Damned's. This version hardly is as atmospheric as The Damned's. |

well, this song is based on Vampira, a 50s horror actor and the supposed lover of james dean. Dave Vanian was obsessed with her, and made this song.
You can find the music videEtiqutteo for it on the 25th Anniversey addition of Machine Gun Etiquette, It features the band playing on the Smash it Up video set, Vanian sitting on a chair watching vampira and walking with her, and the whole band and their equipment playing in a feild behind piles of burning leaves and sticks. very unqiue. |
