Do you like Phil Collins? I've been a big Genesis fan ever since the release of their 1980 album, Duke. Before that, I really didn't understand any of their work. Too artsy, too intellectual. It was on Duke where Phil Collins' presence became more apparent. I think Invisible Touch was the group's undisputed masterpiece. It's an epic meditation on intangibility. At the same time, it deepens and enriches the meaning of the preceding three albums. Christy, take off your robe. Listen to the brilliant ensemble playing of Banks, Collins and Rutherford. You can practically hear every nuance of every instrument. Sabrina, remove your dress. In terms of lyrical craftsmanship, the sheer songwriting, this album hits a new peak of professionalism. Sabrina, why don't you, uh, dance a little. Take the lyrics to Land of Confusion. In this song, Phil Collins addresses the problems of abusive political authority. In Too Deep is the most moving pop song of the 1980s, about monogamy and commitment. The song is extremely uplifting. Their lyrics are as positive and affirmative as anything I've heard in rock. Christy, get down on your knees so Sabrina can see your asshole. Phil Collins' solo career seems to be more commercial and therefore more satisfying, in a narrower way. Especially songs like In the Air Tonight and Against All Odds. Sabrina, don't just stare at it, eat it. But I also think Phil Collins works best within the confines of the group, than as a solo artist, and I stress the word artist. This is Sussudio, a great, great song, a personal favorite.
I'm into books, music, and books about music, and music about books. Alcoholics, junkies, perverts, weirdos, lowlifes, degenerates of all types.
All my heroes are dead. I'd like to meet someone who didn't disappoint me. That'd be a nice change of pace. Maybe a puppy dog that shit gold coins. That's it, that's who I want to meet. A gold coin shitting puppy with the softest ears and the waggiest tail. Everyone else, go fuck yourself.
Almost everything. I dont like this newish generic R&B horseshit. BABY BABY BABY I SURE LOVE YOU OH BABY. Fuck you asshole, you suck and your music sucks and your lazy ass fans suck. Also pop country. Way to be ironic without understanding irony assholes. I hope Nashville falls into the earth.
I can pretty much always be listening to:
David Bowie (Suffragette City might be the greatest rock n roll song ever recorded)
Iggy Pop
Henry Rollins
Ben Folds
Fear
Hank Williams III
Reverend Horton Heat
the many bands I've gotten drunk to in New Orleans (Morning 40, Quintron and Miss Pussycat, Ballzack, Bingo Show, Soul Rebels, etc, etc, etc...)
My favorite stuff is typically Rockabilly. It's the southern alcoholic boy in me.
No Will Smith. No Tom Hanks. Nonacting jizzbags. Forrest Gump is the worst movie ever made. Anyone who likes it is a quitter and hates goodness in our hearts.
Yes I own one.
I'm a book junkie. I keep melting them in spoons, but once I've tied off I have trouble injecting the distilled information directly into my veins. I may have to go back to the lab and find a way to crystallize the books and snort them. I bet I could turn a chapter into a rail.
Hunter S Thompson, Jack Daniels, Obi Wan Kenobi, and the Cobra Commander.
