1. philevans3154 Posted: May 30, 2011 at 12:33 AM (#3840684)From the "if you call yourself a punk three times, you're a punk" school of punk music.
Ozzie Guillen -- Avril Lavigne ... separated at birth?
and he's quoted via The Heater. Just awesome.
I definitely had a crush on her circa 2002.
I'll go a step further and say I liked the song Complicated for some time; I just listened to it though, and it hasn't aged well.
I'll take it a step further and say the Girlfriend remix featuring Lil Mama was one of my Jams of 2007. This song has aged better than Complicated.
On that note, is Lil Mama's song Lip Gloss the best song about lip gloss? I think so, yes.
I didn't like her when she first became popular, but yea, she's a lovely woman now. She needs to be cross-bred with say Regina Spektor.
Nothing wrong with that. At all.
This must be sarcasm. If not, you've just scored around 98 on the old Bill Simmons unintentional comedy scale.
No argument here.
Probably goes to her left better than Jeter too.
she is about as punk as jimmy osmond.
Saw this chick performing live on TV some years ago. Think it was that Complicated song. She wasn't very good. Maybe she was just off that day.
Generally it's hard to respect artists who can't match live events with studio works. though I'm far from into pop music (or celeberties in general), be them English onces or local onces.
Who's been dead 27 years.
And wasn't punk before that, though her son was & I suppose still is, to whatever extent.
I do own her first album. (Lavigne's, not my mother's; even though she was married to Bill Bailey & had Pearl Bailey as a mother-in-law, she wasn't even remotely musical, not that I play anything other than the stereo or the radio myself.) It's OK, & she's not exactly repulsive.
I wanted to crush her circa 2002.
If "Sk8r Boi" isn't punk, then I don't know what is.
mfw.
Speaking of which, here's a lovely acoustic version of "See How We Are" by John and Exene.
See How we Are (live on KEXP)
And I'm not sure what the Rays are embarrassed about - they need to do *something* to bring in the fans as they don't have enough of them despite having a contending team. There's too many geezers in the stands, if this helps to bring in some younger viewers, how is that such a bad thing?
Who certainly did some nice, nice stuff, but who also certainly aren't to be confused with capital-P Punk, y'know. The Bad Brains or Angry Samoans they weren't.
X certainly expanded their palette in later years to encompass all sorts of music, but I don't see how anyone could call Los Angeles or Wild Gift anything but punk. One of the great American bands, IMO...
I was surprised to learn Viggo Mortensen was once married to Exene.
At least. That would be 1984. I thought It's Hard in 1982 was the nail in the coffin.
The Bad Brains who did tons of reggae tracks? That one? The Angry Samoans aren't more than a footnote in the annals of punk, nice bad they were. Plenty of punk bands expanded their repertoire as time went on because there's only so many times you can play the same songs (or why nobody listens to later Ramones stuff, because they'd heard it all before). X are punk as ####, case closed.
Rest assured, as they developed, some of my favorite bands expanded their repertoire beyond all recognition, with the Mekons being probably the most obvious example. Hell, Wire did it from album to album ... pretty much from song to song, almost.
Yep-that one. Bad Brains were the kings of the late 70's, early 80's DC punk scene and were highly influential nationally(See Grohl, Dave and Fugazi)...and they were all sorts of hard core when they wanted to be.
*Well, along with Gary Floyd ("Dicks Hate the Police" is probably one of my top 10 songs ever, period), who even better is a fellow native SW Arkansan, but damn if he didn't up & move to *shudder* Texas in fourth grade, I've read.
I.E. they learned how to play their instruments.
