It's a slow Sunday, make a list

Rupert Holmes

Herb

Kenny G

It's pure torture.

Yeah, it's bad, I know.

Jethro Tull
Styx
Black Crowes (ducking!)

Jack Johnson

Red Hot Chili Peppers

Lil Wayne's Lollipop

anything by the Killers

Rush

You've got nerves of Steel to Put Rush on the list Shyguy. Lets just hope Brianl and Darktemper don't read your last post. HA!
Although I agree with the Killers- Completely overrated Knock off of New Order.

I like The Killers!

(And New Order and Joy Division.)

I Love Rush!

Kenny G

Who doesn't like Duran Duran. Why?

I don't!

LOL Part of it was "pushing buttons" here as I knew it would be one of those things that would get someones attention. But no really I don't care for Rush. I am sure that there is someone that feels the same about my all time fav Queen. No wait how can anyone not love at least one Queen song!

Now for some more:

Celine Dion
Primus
Tom Waitts sp?

Kufo played "Stone Cold Crazy" by Queen the other night. By far the best Queen song ever recorded, and it hasn't been burnt out and overplayed like most Queen songs!
I Also love Queen. BUT when I hear "another one bites the dust" OR "Bohemian Rhapsody" My radio goes off. Those songs are so OVERPLAYED! Stations need to play some deeper Queen tracks.

"Bohemian Rhapsody" My radio goes off.

I dunno about that . . . that song seems well suited to be played in Yugos.

Ditto Kenny G. Ditto Styx. Ditto Chili Peppers (except FLEA, he rocks). Ditto Primus (How did they ever get anywhere?)

Others:
Gary Puckett & The Union Gap
Air Supply
Celine Dion
That band that did "No Rain" then thier singer died.
Third Eye Blind

Blondie
UB40
U2- "with or without you" "Still havent found what Im looking for".

Those songs need to be retired. And How many times do we really need to hear "red red wine" or "heart of glass"?
I like the Chilli Peppers but PLEASE DO NOT EVER PLAY "UNDER THE BRIDGE".

Rolling Stones

AC/DC

Air Supply!!

Just had all but forgotten about that torture. Lump them in with Kenny G.

Like Third Eye Blind. "No Rain" has just a great feel. Excellent transition song, from set to set, or theme to theme, IMHO.

Id rather hear "Air Supply" than have to sit through "red red wine" or "still havent found what i'm looking for" for the 10 billionth time.
Infact Id rather suffer through the Michael Bolton Version of "when a man loves a woman" Than hear "Red Red Wine".

Yarl, Emo and Lilith.

Tom Petty.

Nope. Don't like him.

"99 Luftballoons" in any language...

ABBA, not at all, ever!

Snow Patrol

Gnarls Barkley

AC-DC

Matchbox 20
Avril Lavingne
Radiohead
Anything from U2-
Depeshe Mode
The Killers
Snow Patrol
The shins
Goo Goo Dolls
Maroon 5
I just realized how much garbage is filling our airwaves. Just shows how dead rock is today.

I can appreciate the fact that they are good at what they do - I just can't like it;

Steely Dan.
Most all southern rock ( ZZ Top, Lynyrd Skynrd, Molly Hatchet - although for some reason I can tolerate .38 Special. Makes no sense )

I have to say Jack Johnson and Jethro Tull is tough to beat. I can't stand jam bands. He smacks of that. Grateful Dead. John Mayer. Dave Matthews band.

Tom Petty.
Steve Miller.
Most all Smashing Pumpkins grates on me.

And my all time " can't change the station fast enough " - The Eagles.

However, I REALLY like well done remixes and mash-ups of those bands. I like how a good DJ will take the good riffs ( of which they produced many ) and put them to a beat and sample some other stuff to make the old somehow seem new again.

And with the exception of The Beastie Boys and Public Enemy, I don't even count rap. It just ain't my bag.

Soundgarden was always a tough sell for me too. Chris Cornell has got a great voice - and the band was even good. Yet I never bought into them like most do or did.

I LOVE Rage Against The Machine and even Audioslave.

I like Ween a LOT - but I shouldn't.

Can't stand Weird Al.

I resisted Tool for a long time. Then they sorta clicked for me.

So let it be writen.

Im curious to see what DarkTemper has for his list!

CJ! Wait! No jam Bands, but you like Ween!?!

What about Ween's "Bananas and Blow" 6/23/02? Total Jam!

Ween are played quite a bit on Serius 17's "Jam on"

I too cannot stand:

Smashing Pumpkins
John Mayer
Jack Johnson - snoozefest

Add:
Alanis - the big phony
Jewel
Tori Amos
Annie Lennox

Totally agree on the Smashing Pumpkins, Billy Corgan is a dildo!

I love The smashing Pumpkins, infact I own almost all of their albums. One thing I have noticed is that Billy Corgan Can't sing worth a crap. He is a horrible singer. That being said, I still LOVE the pumpkins!

And Merkin, I agree I also can't stand Alanis Morisette, especially her new stuff. Alanis is the biggest hypocrite. On her first Cd "jagged little pill", She is bashing men constantly, and now she loves men and all of her new material is about how great men are. WTF Alanis?

After "Jaggid Little Pill" Alanis got laid and then she realized that she actually likes men.(thats the only explanation I could come up with)
Lets not forget folks that the song "You Oughta Know" is about her former boyfriend Dave Coulier. Thats right "Joey" From Full House. Here is the lyrics, and remember she is talking about Joey aka Dave coulier.
Enjoy.
ALANIS MORISSETTE LYRICS

"You Oughta Know"

I want you to know, that I'm happy for you
I wish nothing but the best for you both
An older version of me
Is she perverted like me
Would she go down on you in a theatre
Does she speak eloquently
And would she have your baby
I'm sure she'd make a really excellent mother

Cause the love that you gave that we made wasn't able
To make it enough for you to be open wide, no
And every time you speak her name
Does she know how you told me you'd hold me
Until you died, till you died
But you're still alive

And I'm here to remind you
Of the mess you left when you went away
It's not fair to deny me
Of the cross I bear that you gave to me
You, you, you oughta know

You seem very well, things look peaceful
I'm not quite as well, I thought you should know
Did you forget about me Mr. Duplicity
I hate to bug you in the middle of dinner
It was a slap in the face how quickly I was replaced
Are you thinking of me when you fuck her

Cause the love that you gave that we made wasn't able
To make it enough for you to be open wide, no
And every time you speak her name
Does she know how you told me you'd hold me
Until you died, til you died
But you're still alive

And I'm here to remind you
Of the mess you left when you went away
It's not fair to deny me
Of the cross I bear that you gave to me
You, you, you oughta know

Cause the joke that you laid on the bed that was me
And I'm not gonna fade
As soon as you close your eyes and you know it
And every time I scratch my nails down someone else's back
I hope you feel it...well can you feel it

And I'm here to remind you
Of the mess you left when you went away
It's not fair to deny me
Of the cross I bear that you gave to me
You, you, you oughta know

" CJ! Wait! No jam Bands, but you like Ween!?! "

I know. That's why I said " I shouldn't." They go against so many things I claim to abhor; Jammy, Jokey, Juvenile - Yet they strike certain chord ( literally and metaphorically ) that my mind responds to. They have a rich sound - a grand sound- a well produced sound that I really dig. Plus, they have a youthful attitude that I like. Their chord progressions and time changes are things that I like in some prog rock. SOME.

They do it with Beatles-esque melodies that never sound dated, to me. They are pertetually modern sounding. Not quite space rock like bands like MGMT or Radiohead or other new bands that seem to have a nihilist bend to them. ( Yes, I'm going to over analyze Ween now ). They play dark about light things. Or they play light about dark things. Which can warp your mind a bit, but seems to exercise it just enough to release those endorphins.

Chocolate and Cheese is about as jarring an ablum as I own. The track list goes from " Mr. Will You Please Help My Pony? " to " HIV/AIDS " to " Buenas Tarde Amigos." I'm also a sucker for an epic. Their songs have full on crescendos with great and grand pay-offs if you are willing to follow it to the end. It can be quite intense.

You don't HAVE to be high to feel like you are on their journey. But being able to actually see their music, in your head, makes them special to me.

I need to see them live before I die.

And don't get me started on Queen.

Greatful Dead? I'm sorry, no.

That's OK, more for me!

The Offspring

You suck SHYGUY!! The new Offspring album is sooooo GOOD! I'll pretend I didn't read your last post.

I think Bunsofsteel pretty much covered my hate list. Unfortunately those bands mentioned (and others like them) account for about 90% of my Dad's CD archive.

The Shins, I think, are the embodiment of everything that is wrong with Portland's "music scene" today. (//Note the deliberate use of quotation marks.) Personally PDX hasn't really "rocked" since Paul Revere and the Raiders left town in the 60s!

(Please direct all hate mail to my other E Mail address motofoxmuzakforum@gmail.com . Yes, it *is* a real E Mail drawer so don't hesitate! My /dev/null has been kinda' neglected lately anyways.)

"New Slang" starts playing and I usually reach for the remote. I just about want to puke up every time I hear that song.

Seattle on the other hand...man.....they have Hendrix and (at one point in time or other) Muzak and DMX! Need I say more? ;o)

Others in my hate list:
Brittney Spears
anything originating from the Disney Channel or Radio Disney
Christina Aguileria
"American Idiot" by Green Day
anything by The Train (BLAND!)
most stuff by David Gray (BLAND!)

"Catching the Angel" or whatever Depeche Mode's newer record was called. There's probably only one good song on the whole record....I like to think the rest is just extra data added in to pad the one good song and push it over the 550MB "lower limit" so their CD recorder wouldn't choke when writing the image, if ya know what I mean. (In other terms, it's just a CD single that has a bunch of extra tracks added to mitigate technical issues. ;o)

Pretty much anything that comes from American Idol. Although there are a couple of songs by Kelly Clarkston that I can tolerate the rest is pretty much CRAP.

Hip Hop. I still don't understand how people justify calling rap and hip hop "music" and not manage to look like complete prats, because it's not. It's really just an extreme form of a poetry reading......kinda' like they have on KBOO only way more upbeat.

The Offspring. Yes, Beano.

Any compilation or "album" released on the Madacy or St. Claire labels that don't have another major record label (WB, Sony, BMG.....) listed in tandem with its own. I don't even think I need to go into detail on that. ;o)

I could list way more but I am afraid my post may be too long as it stands now.......

Clearly, there is no existing "format" that would please everybody.

It has been said that nothing separates the generation more than the music they endear, and this thread proves it.

Some mighty big inconsistencies in the heretofore submissions.
Definitely, there are those that just can't stand certain vocalists, because they like other bands in the same genre.

Some of my conclusions: Nothing personal, but many of you are lovers of pop music and have no penchant for anything outside that realm. Some of the music that is listed as hated is in fact some of the most difficult to play and pull off well in a live concert. Want a few examples? (In order of appearance in the thread):

Mrs. M: Jethro Tull, Styx, The Black Crowes

Tull: No band on the planet covers as many genres as these guys have. Probably too folky for some and too jazzy for others, this band was miscategorized as heavy metal by classic rock radio. Nothing could be further from the truth. Try English folk rock, Celtic, acoustic, or blues rock ... but hard rock? Uh, uh.
Do you play an instrument or read music? Check out some Tull sheet music and then come back and tell me that it's junk.
Sorry. It ain't. Don't like it? Fine. But I'll defend it every time.

Styx: A band way ahead of it's time. Did you know their first cut on their first album contains element of Fanfare For The Common Man by Aaron Copland? How about their song from Styx II called "Father OSA." Herb would love it (trust me). They went places in rock and roll that few bands dare venture into. That's probably why they didn't catch on for many years, until they finally got "Lady" to catch a ride some 8 years after it's initial release.

The Black Crowes: Southern rock good enough to get Jimmy Page to tour with them. Not easily done. Probably the best at that style since the original Allman Brothers Band.

Not to pick only on Mrs M, how about Shyguy:

Rush.

A lot of people can't stand Geddy's voice. Understandable. However the music they make is way more complex than it seems and they can pull it off in concert with just the three of them. Emerson, Lake and Palmer could do this as well, but few other power trios could play more than basic rock without studio wizardry multi tracking on albums and additional members in the touring band.

Skeptical: Tom Petty

Oh to be able to duplicate a Mike Campbell solo is a personal dream of mine. Tom Petty has the tightest touring band around.
In the mold of Del Shannon and early rock, he has played with Dylan, Harrison, and many of the folks who have molded American music over the last 40 years. It's hard to understand why anyone would hate his music. I guess, Skep, you just don't know how it feels.

Talpdx: The Rolling Stones

? Hate the stones? You've got to be kidding me?

You call yourself a Christian
I think that you're a hypocrite
You say you are a patriot
I think that you're a crock of shit

And listen, I love gasoline
I drink it every day
But it's getting very pricey
And who is going to pay

How come you're so wrong
My sweet neo con.... Yeah

It's liberty for all
'Cause democracy's our style
Unless you are against us
Then it's prison without trial

But one thing that is certain
Life is good at Haliburton
If you're really so astute
You should invest at Brown & Root.... Yeah

How come you're so wrong
My sweet neo con
If you turn out right
I'll eat my hat tonight

Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah....

It's getting very scary
Yes, I'm frightened out of my wits
There's bombers in my bedroom
Yeah and it's giving me the shits

We must have loads more bases
To protect us from our foes
Who needs these foolish friendships
We're going it alone

How come you're so wrong
My sweet neo con
Where's the money gone
In the Pentagon

Yeah ha ha ha
Yeah, well, well

Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah...
Neo con

I rest my case. (cont'd)

cont’d

Chickenjuggler: Hates a lot, I'll choose to defend the following:

Grateful Dead: Yes, they are a jam band and are an acquired taste, however their basic songs on several of the studio albums (American Beauty, Workingman's Dead, From the Mars Hotel, Terrapin Station) might indicate they are more than a bunch of guys lost in a 30 minute version of Dark Star. No band on earth has as large a following, as diverse a following, and have been around way longer than any of the bands mentioned in this thread (about the same as the Stones). You don't do that if a lot of people hate your music. You're in the minority, CJ.

Steve Miller Band: Now this is a pop legend. If you don't like jam bands, pop legends, and eclectics like Tull, there isn't much left except rap crap, mediocre pop music, loop meisters and metal.
The best Steve Miller is the old blues stuff with Ben Sidran and Boz Scaggs.

Steely Dan: Definitely a musician's band. Horns, piano and guitar so well orchestrated and succinctly played. No bad notes.
Hard to believe you can hate jam bands and then not like Steely Dan.

Of course, you like remixes and mash ups. Remixes wouldn't be possible if not for the originals, and like mash ups it all hinges on someone somewhere writing and recording THE ORIGINAL.
If you like a remix, it is inconsistent to say you "hate" the original. That's just not logical. This is a perfect segue into the things I hate:

Peter Frampton. Peter is a decent guitar player and had some interesting contributions to Humble Pie and even Frampton's Camel held promise. Then he sold out. Do you feel like I do?

Sampling. What a fucking rip off. Write your own material, don't build a song around someone else's work.

Rap (various artists). Take the microphone out of the vocalist hands and teach the mofo to play a damn instrument. Monotonic rap vocals are worthless from a musical perspective. I'd rather listen to poetry being read. Too much reliance on loops and automation. Just another pop phenomenon that has had it's 15 minutes. Good bye, don't let the Doors outsell you on the way out.

Pop solo artists that can't play an instrument, write or read music, or sing in key without electronic key shifters (you know who they are): Get a new career. If it wasn't for the blowjob you gave the record company exec, you'd be less than monkey spit.

postscript: Motozak:

"PDX hasn't really "rocked" since Paul Revere and the Raiders left town in the 60s!"

I disagree. I think you are minimizing a local history that includes a lot of consummate professionals who have dedicated their entire career to music here in Stumptown. Of course, before I would list them, I need to know what you mean by "rocked."

Keep those cards and letters coming in folks. Nothing like a subjective topic to bring out all the facts. Without a doubt, given a chance to program for this group is a fools errand. Although only about 7 years of my broadcast career included programming and producing a show, I did learn that:

1. You can't please everyone. That's why there are choices
on the dial, in the ether, and in the clubs.

2. People hate certain artists, people hate songs, people hate certain instruments for various and sundry reasons that have little to do with anything concrete. No discussion will change their mind. Evidence to the contrary means nothing, like if I told Herb that Jesus was just another guy and we like us all are sons of the Lord, all equal, all human.

3. Contrary to Frank Zappa's postulate that lyrics don't mean anything, they do. Don't eat the yellow snow.

4. If there is anything jazzy about a song, you are dooming it to being miscategorized by the consuming public as to its genre, its quality and intent and more than likely will be reedited by radio to 2:45 and not include that jazzy part that made it unique in the first place. I'm glad that wasn't the kind of radio I ever did personally.

5. Bands and artists that endure the test of time will have a strong group of naysayers whom revel in dissing your accomplishments. I say fuck'em and just deposit the concert fees, royalties and such in the bank.

I can't believe that people are hating on the Black Crows and Tom petty. That is just WRONG! I understand if you're sick and tired of "Hard to handle" by The Black crowes, every time that song comes on the radio I turn my radio off. If you can dig deeper than "Hard to handle" they really have some good stuff. With all the crap that is on the radio today, surely you could come up with something better.

Andy says :Sampling. What a fucking rip off. Write your own material, don't build a song around someone else's work.

What I don't understand is WHY do artists let raps acts sample their music??? It seems like everything is sampled today. Maybe their would be more originality in music today if less of the Classic bands let the newbies sample their music. I don't care how much money was thrown my way, If I had a famous song and a rapper approached me about sampling my music in his song I would say "HELL NO". Why don't more classic artists do that today???? Just say NO! I still can't beleive that Sting let Puff Daddy sample "Every breath you take" that just blew my mind the first time I heard it,OH and Led Zeppelin let puff Daddy Sample "Kashmire" in one of his songs, and it is by far the worst most blatent RIP OFF of a Zeppelin song I have ever heard. It is sooooo BAD you seriously have to listen to it. Its called "Come with Me" and its off the Godzilla Soundtrack. It is so bad it is almost laughable. WHY the F did Jimmy page and Robert Plant let that tool sample their music???

re: Tom Petty.

I've tried to like him. Everyone else in my circle thinks he's "IT". I just don't get "IT". I do know I keep stumbling over "IT" over and over again throughout the years and he won't go away. At least Tonya Harding has the "car wreck" factor to gawk at each time she surfaces.

There. I've compaired Tom Petty with Tonya Harding. A new low for me?

Justin, many artists are unaware of the sampling. It is a liberty taken not only by hip-hop, but by most commercial music. It takes a team of lawyers to sort it out and one would have to listen to every release to find every sample. Or, if the master is owned by a third party, the sample can be licensed without any approval from the original artist. In this age of the internet and digital editing, an entire album can be cobbled together from uncredited sources. Unless you have a legion of attorneys, there is no stopping it.

Plagiarism was once a big deal too, but today, the royalty organizations and publishing houses will not go after their own. Independent talents, as always, feed good ideas to the majors without any legal recourse or financial compensation. Major labels want you to enjoy your favorite flavor of watered down genius, but not the original idea. Listeners are often oblivious. For example, Elvis, Led Zeppelin and the Doors were blatant thieves, and to this day, few fans will admit it. Corporate appropriation is the way of the past, the present and likely the future.

Shania Twain (if it weren't for her ex-husband she would have never of gotten any mainstream play.)

I agree Shyguy! And who's going to write all of her songs now that the "Mutt" is no longer with her?
Her career is finished!

Rush? RUSH?! WHO MENTIONED RUSH?!?!?

Blasphemy! That's un-American! I can't stand for this!!

Just kidding kids, we all have our opinions, likes and tastes ... as misguided as they are for SOME of us.

I'll go with ...

most ANY Country artist.
B-52s (my God, nails on chalkboard)
REM
Tom Petty (sorry, never got into his music)
For being a huge metalhead, I never got into Metallica. I don't HATE them, but they're not high on my list.

Oh geeze - sorry - I forgot to mention why I don't like ( I'll retract " hate " - oh wait. I didn't say that. ) so many of the bands I listed;

They all remind me of a time or event or a mood or a surrounding that I did, for certain, hate. It could have been a dark house that I lived in. It could have been an era that I associate with my parents' divorce. Or a bad school day. Those are tough to shake when you tie in songs with events - good or bad.

I can honestly say that none of the bands I listed suck. Not one. In fact Andrew, maybe I enjoy the remixes because, not so deep down, I know they have talent and I get to enjoy them presented in a new way at a new time.

B-52s (my God, nails on chalkboard)
Here is the thing with the B-52s listening to there music is fine I like it its catchy at least there hits are. But then you see a live performance or video and its all over from there I don't know what it is the beehive on the red head or the lead singer. Something is just too corny.

B52's are brutal, Can't stand their music, and watching them live is like Nails to a chalkboard. Im not sure what type of drugs Kate Pearson is taking, but she is so annoying you want to smack her in the face. She has this annoying high piched voice that would make a dog shit himself. I saw them live a few years back and it was the most tourtuesome concert I have ever seen in my life. I still havent forgiven my girlfriend for making me go to the concert with her.

Andy Brown rocks! Thanks for the nice critique, I enjoyed your comments. Truly, you are right; As Rick Nelson said, "You can't please everyone, but, you got to please yourself."

Carry on.

This next one goes out to Warner, thanks for taking the time to read my Missing_KSKD length post.

Corrections:

"The Doors" not "the Doors."

"and he like us" not "and we like us."

"dissing their accomplishments" not "dissing your accomplishments}

There is so much music product on line and in the bins that I am sure there is plenty of lackluster material to pick on, but hopefully most of it will remain unknown.

REM is one band I can't stand and I don't understand why people think they are so great. "everybody hurts" is the most painful song to listen to.

Bare Naked Ladies- There is nothing funny about their ridiculously stupid lyrics. "Pinch me" is by far one of the worst songs ever recorded.

THe Calling- GAG ME!

The shins- There are not words that can describe how much I hate the Shins.

Blink 182- Thank God this band broke up. Blink 182 were the backstreet boys with Tattoos. CHEESY, pop rock.

Everybody needs to spin some Shaggs and chill out. ;0)

everybody hurts is supposed to be painful!

That's the brilliance of REM!

NOPE! Painfully bad. I don't need depressing music, there is enough things to be depressed about like the price of gas.

I KNEW there was one I forgot!

The Bare-Freakin'-Naked Dipshits!

For some reason, they drive me nuts. Can't stand 'em. I can't get to the channel button fast enough when they come on.

Here's another one I forgot: Counting Crows. Can't take the guys voice and singing style.

My sophomore year of high school would have really sucked without "Life's Rich Pageant" and R.E.M. is still a band I enjoy a great deal. Perhaps it shows my age, but the work they did with Mitch Easter is my favorite along with the Don Gehman record. After leaving IRS for Bugs Bunny, they released "Green" on election day. I stuck a Dukakis/Bentsen sticker to the inside of the jacket when I got it home from Music Millenium that afternoon.

On the subject of Athens and "New South" bands, I am gonna mention The dBs, Let's Active, Guadalcanal Diary, Pylon and defend the B-52s. They were a joke. No, really. They dressed up that way to piss off the locals, started a band for fun and never expected to be famous. They were signed and it opened the door for a lot of regional talent. It went along swimmingly until Ricky died. Nobody played a four string Mosrite like he could. :0)

Dear Pdx Radio Friends,
Please tell me that the Bare Naked Ladies have broken up, And if they haven't broken up, please lie and say they have. That band is on my shit list.

Love always,
Bunsofsteel.

Nothing brings out the love / hate like BNL.

I like 'em!

Buns - I'm stealing that line. " please lie to me and say they have."

Very funny.

I was streaming Fresh Air a few days ago, and heard the first part of a profile from NPR.

Apparently BNL has released a Childrens album.

Good grief, those poor kids!

That does make for an interesting marketing delema.

Bare Naked Ladies for Kids?

Could they at least have changed their name to Calico Flannel Ladies or Cotton Mumu Ladies for the kids?

Do we all agree that Tori Amos and Dave Matthews are abominations?

"Do we all agree that Tori Amos and Dave Matthews are abominations?"

I liked "Little Earquakes" but I really haven't followed Tori Amos since.

"Little Earquakes" kinda summed it up for me.

I dunno why I dislike her stuff so much. Mebbe I just wish Victoria Williams were that kinda famous. She actually has the talent and does amazing things without a wind machine.

I was at loose ends one Friday night in Denver in 1992.
I had never heard of Tori Amos, but ended up at a club called "The Parish" that was in an old Church.
She was to play in the basement.
The place was packed, it was hot as hell, and she was about a half hour late.
When she finally came out someone in the crowd shouted "Where've you been"?

This attractive, petite redhead approached the microphone and said:

"I was taking a shit".

Ha! I mentioned Tori (above on Monday).

I'd rather go on that cruise ship with BNL than listen to her...can't stand watching her hump the piano. Yuck.

Funny you should mention that Mrs. M.

I noticed that when I saw her live.
I had a different reaction though. ;-)

Amus, now that is classic. I like her a little bit more now.

Merkin is right, she spends too much time giving those 88s the grind. I wonder if she would slow down if after one of those sessions she gave birth to a melodica. :o)

"Apparently BNL has released a Childrens album."

I thought all thier albums were childrens albums.

Like her early stuff. Now, now so much.

Hey Merkin, Where do I sign up for the "Cruise with the Bare Naked Ladies?? I would kill to see the Bare Naked Ladies! (And Im not talking about the musical group

You better hurry, 2008 is sold out!

Yikes! A nursing home on a boat comes to mind.



(I'm sure I've offended a half a dozen people here so let me apologize in advance.)

You're such an ass Skep. Just because some of the BNL on the cruise ship are carrying oxgen tanks, while others are riding around in "able walkers" does not mean they can't express their feminity by walking around naked.
Please respect your elders SKEP

Awesomeness! I was so worried that I wouldn't fit in! I'm easy to spot, my walker has the hot pink tennis balls on the front legs.

Baby M has decorated my O2 tanks with lots of stickers, mainly Thomas The Tank, because she thinks it's ironic. But there are also some Muppet stickers and old-school Sesame Street. However, I draw the line at Elmo and Barney.

Oh, and I'll be easy to find by my Grateful Dead tattoos. They started out on my hip in 1978 but have moved south a bit. Look toward my knees.

I'm easy to spot, my walker has the hot pink tennis balls on the front legs.

Mrs M your behind the times lady. The "new" "It" walker is the one that has the seat and basket on it and its got real wheels too.

Ah Shit that description is no good.. off to find a picture of what I am talking about.

I guess I will see you on the cruise Merkin, because Im going!

Look for me on the cruise, I've got a HUGE birthmark on my left Cheek!
The question is, what set of "cheeks" am I talking about?
I'm not telling! Just keep a look out for me ok?
You might want to bring your binoculars because I'm HUNG..........Like a baby

I'm sorry I'm party to this new low on PDXradio.com.

New? No.
Low? Yes.

Beano, my BIL always says,
"Hung like a baby's...ARM!"

TMI, I know...

I wonder if Mr. Merkin knows about Beano's and Mrs. Merkin love affair? Those two are sounding way too close!

Almost all rock "music".

TRIXTER!

Blues Traveler.

Train, Creed, Panic at the Disco, The All American Rejects, Rob Thomas.

CRAP CRAP CRAP CRAP!!! I call these wanna be rockers. Bubblegum pop bands that think they are rockers.

If I was dating a woman and I started looking through her cd collection and found cd's like Panic at the Disco and All American Rejects, I would run like hell. I don't care how beautiful and nice she was, I could NEVER date anyone with such poor taste of music. Sorry ladies!

Oh and Trixter, I think you have it the OTHER WAY AROUND!
You like the group Trixter, while every one else on this planet does not.

I have to say i like train ,since trains ex keyboard player/guitar player main songwriter Rob Hotchkiss is my neighbor

I like trains too, I've never been in one but I heard they are really cool. Id much rather take a train than a plane.

I wonder if they allow cameras on the Bare Naked Ladies Cruise ship?
That could get scary if they do. Nothing like bending over while doing yoga excercises, and hearing a few flashes going off (camera flashes)
