Okay everyone, I'm out of here for the evening. Take care and I'll talk to you all soon.

@Lady Andrea: night!

@PeteJäyhawk: I think I have every Deftones record but the one they released last year, and I'm not ashamed to admit I listen to all of them. Adrenaline is the only one that doesn't hold up well.

@PQ Crash: the late '90s forced me to discover Husker Du, the Smiths, the Pixies, the Minutemen, Dinosaur Jr, Eric B. and Rakim, Steely Dan, EPMD, Boogie Down Productions, and got me to start listening to jazz and reggae. So, I owe the barren rock landscape some thanks.

@Signal to Noise: I had Adrenaline and Korn's self-titled album. I'm pleased to say that I never got into any other nu-metal bullshit (except for a brief dalliance my freshman year in college - but we're talking high school here so I'm clean)

My high school CDs:

1) Radiohead - OK Computer
2) Afghan Whigs - 1965
3) Local H - Pack Up The Cats
4) Ben Folds Five - Whatever and Ever Amen
5) Weezer - Pinkerton

None of these came out later than '98. Every piece of nu-metal crap I passed on, with the exception of the Deftones' Around the Fur.

@Lady Andrea: Saw Billy Idol a couple years ago at the Bridge Benefit (acoustic show), and he absolutely brought the place down.

I think he hasn't been invited back since he dropped a F-bomb in front of the kids the benefit was being put on for though.

PeteJayhawk — Mon, 07 May 2007 02:00:32 EDT

@Signal to Noise: I actually liked Blink 182 in high school, before "Dammit" was in MTV rotation. Dude Ranch was a pretty unique record at that point.

Poor Mario Got Strung Out On Mushrooms

PQ Crash — Mon, 07 May 2007 02:00:29 EDT

@Signal to Noise: @Lady Andrea: I thank the late '90s for forcing me to look outside the "popular" avenues to find good music...and also to learn to appreciate The Beatles.

And Heroes is tomorrow night! Who's ready?

Poor Mario Got Strung Out On Mushrooms

Lady Andrea — Mon, 07 May 2007 02:00:28 EDT

@Athletic Supporter: I love Billy Idol, but I think that has more to do with the whole "Spike" look. Rock the Cradle of love is so hot though.

@Baba Oje: not much, you? Finals time? I'm about ready to kill myself, looking forward at this coming week.

Poor Mario Got Strung Out On Mushrooms

Signal to Noise — Mon, 07 May 2007 01:58:10 EDT

@PQ Crash: uh huh. I kind of had to start going backwards for music at that point, outside of Radiohead and Weezer, because then the Korn and Blink 182 takeover was on.

The music I can remember so clearly from high school was

1) Vital Idol - Billy Idol
2) Black Album - Metallica
3) Vitalogy - Pearl Jam

@PeteJäyhawk: (these aren't necessarily the best albums, just the ones that I would pick as the soundtrack to the movie of my high school experience)

Poor Mario Got Strung Out On Mushrooms

PeteJayhawk — Mon, 07 May 2007 01:53:53 EDT

@PQ Crash: I will go with 3 of those 5. For me, Vs. is part of an overarching PJ theme; it doesn't stand out from the other PJ albums (though I did buy it on cassette from Appletree Records the day it came out). Definitely Maybe never really made much of an impression on me. I would replace those with Alice in Chains Unplugged and New American Standard's first tape (friend's band we used to see all the damn time)

@PQ Crash: Tearing a port-a-potty down does not seem like a smart thing to do. My first PJ show was in '96 once they had mellowed a bit. I think I'm somewhere around 18 shows now, if you count Bridge School Benefit shows.

2) Singles soundtrack
3) The Downward Spiral
4) Vs.

@Dr. Michael Mancini: I guess he had the satirical, over-the-top Clinton (though the sketch to which you refer is fucking hilarious) down while Darrell Hammond has more of the "become the person you imitate" imitation down (as in the standup kind).

PQ Crash — Mon, 07 May 2007 01:46:26 EDT

@Athletic Supporter: I've seen them 3 times at the Gorge. In '93 when they opened for Neil Young (apx. 2 weeks before Vs. was released). The crowd went batshit and tore everything down, fences, portapotties, etc.

And in '05 and '06.

PeteJayhawk — Mon, 07 May 2007 01:45:04 EDT

@PQ Crash: I need to get that. The Singles soundtrack was one of the CDs that made up the soundtrack of high school for me. While there was a lot of music involved with my high school career, a couple of CDs stand out as being perfect for the place and time.

Ok sweet lord. I get ready to go to bed, and a Pearl Jam discussion breaks out... I'm here for a while I guess.

I'm totally unable to pick favorite songs though, because they literally can change day-to-day.

I've recently been really digging the Reign O'er Me cover they did for the Sandler Movie. And I lose my shit everytime I hear them play Crown of Thorns at a live show.
