Before I download this, I need to know who it is.

[breakjaw]

It is Rage Against The Machine.

[breakjaw]

The song "The Narrows" is from their original demo tape.

[york707]

Who?

[breakjaw]

Who?

The band Keith Morris probably wishes he had been in.

[york707]

haha

[york707]

Are you keith morris? you've got the dreads...

[breakjaw]

No,but I had a friend who played bass on The Vandals album "When in Rome" and he knew Keith Morris and said he liked smoking pot and listening to "2112" and I was extremely disappointed in him for that(not that there is anything wrong with that,I just expect more from my punk rock heroes).

[york707]

I assume you mean listening to Rush, not smoking pot...

[breakjaw]

Doing both at once is damn near unforgivable from the former Black Flag singer.If he was smoking pot and listening to "Funhouse",ok.If he was driving in his Valiant and all the windows were rolled up,and "2112" happened to be playing on KLSX,so be it.But not sitting and taking bong hits and actually turning the album over.No,no way is that acceptable.

[TomAz]

2112 was my favorite album when I was like 14.

[breakjaw]

See that even hurts a little.

[TomAz]

I outgrew it by the time I was 16.

[breakjaw]

Ok,as long as there is absolutely not a shred of nostalgia for it.

[york707]

awesome.

[breakjaw]

Are you keith morris? you've got the dreads...

Oh and Keith Morris has way better dreads than mine ever were(I had them 4 years and cut them last year).Of course he cheated,by smoking pot and listening to Rush.

True.

[TomAz]

of course not.

are you claiming that your musical tastes have always been cool? did you leap from the womb with all the Velvet Underground's stuff embedded in your DNA?

not me. I lived in North Canton Ohio (not Canton, but North Canton) through ninth grade and then Jefferson City Missouri for the rest of high school. It may surprise you to learn that these places are not on the cutting edge of cool. In Jeff City you were lucky if you could pull in KSHE-FM from St Louis on a good day; otherwise the only exposure to music was whatever everyone else was listening to. Rush, Foghat, REO Speedwagon, you name it, I had it and listened to it. I mean there was Led Zeppelin sure but otherwise it was Ted Nugent and Kiss.

I don't have any nostalgia for that music but I don't really feel bad about it either. I was a kid and I went through my bad music phase, so what. (In fact I think that phase gives me some authority in identifying just what is bad music, having lived it myself for a while). By the time I was 16 I'd started to outgrow it and by the time I was 18 I was playing The Slits on college radio.

[breakjaw]

of course not.

are you claiming that your musical tastes have always been cool? did you leap from the womb with all the Velvet Underground's stuff embedded in your DNA?

No,I liked some bad stuff,too.I seem to enjoy more "uncool music" now that I'm older and don't care about being trendy as much.I went through a mod/ska phase,and now when I think I liked The Untouchables and bands like that,it's mildly embarassing.
But I think there is no Statute of Limitations for Rush.

[bug on your lip]

breakjaw,
r u putting together a RUSH mix ?

i would heart that.

I've only heard a handful of RUSH songs, they are either brillant rock w/ amazing time-sig changes, or butter-churning paced boring tracks

that has always made me reluctant to buy their stuff

[TomAz]

[breakjaw]

[J~$$$]

Geddy Lee is so hot right now.

[caco0283]

yablo i had to turn you mix off, my boss "ronnie you americans don't know what music is, if you don't mind turn that off"

[Yablonowitz]

yablo i had to turn you mix off, my boss "ronnie you americans don't know what music is, if you don't mind turn that off"

Did you tell him it was from a white guy in Montana?

Hey, BJ, I'm still kinda nostalgic about Rush's Power Windows and that one song on Signals:

"In the high school halls
In the shopping malls
Be cool or be cast out"

[mob roulette]

I have some good friends that live in North Canton. I was there two summers ago for a wedding. And like 10 years ago for visiting. There was grass and trees.

And, actually, one of the people I know there is in a band. But that band is based in Akron.

And I listened to those bands in high school even though I grew up in Phoenix. And later than you did. Hmm... that doesn't strike me as much better. Though I'm certain it was.

Phoenix fifteen years ago had 1060, at least. I didn't listen to it much, though. I should've. As it was I got most of my music from friends and family. And some radio.
