1) How much of the $6 mil was for parts, and how much was for labor?
2) What percentage was covered by your insurance?
3) Did you get a warranty? 30 day? 60 day?
4) Farting: Has anything changed?
5) Do you always just buy the cheap seats at ball games since you can see sh-t from really, really far away?
6) Adjusted for inflation, how much would it cost to rebuild you today? (Keep in mind that technology is a lot cheaper these days.)
Praise be to God!
I know it may seem a little premature to be naming the Album of the Year, but we here at ISLAG feel that with "Weird" Al on haitus and Britney coked out of her f-cking head, the music isn't going to get any better in 2007 than it is right now.
That said, the new Modest Mouse album, "We Were Dead Before The Ship Even Sank", is the Album of the Year for 2007. After spending a week with an advanced copy (ask me no questions, I'll tell you no lies), I can honestly say it's F-CKING AWESOME.
Johnny Marr (former member of The Smiths), joined the band for this album and I credit him for taking them to the next level of greatness. This album sounds alot like their last, "Good News For People Who Love Bad News", but with the songwriting kicked up a notch and a touch of 80s thrown in for good measure. And that goes a long way for me. (When I say 80s here, I'm talking Big Country/General Public/and, yes, The Smiths - not T'Pau/Will To Power/Taco.)
When I heard the first single off this album, the Arcade-Firey "Dashboard", I must admit I was...whelmed. It's good, but not as good as the majority of tracks off their last effort. I'm happy to report that "Dashboard" is not one of the stronger tracks on the album, though it is one of the more radio friendly.
The power from this album comes from tracks such as the cinematic ballad(?) "Missed the Boat", the 8 minute droning guitar symphony that is "Spitting Venom", and the dead-solid hooks in "Florida" and "Fire It Up". It doesn't hurt any that the production is spot on. Dennis Herring, the dude who produced thier last album, did another stellar job here.
I can't express in words how into this album I am right now. "I love it so much I want to take it back behind the middle school and get it pregnant" is a good start though.
Run to your record store on March 20th and pick it up. It's the sh-t.
Goodbye Vicki Smith
Though I never knew you at all
I hear you used to nekkid dance
For guys both old and bald
They crawled out of the woodwork
And they whispered into your ear
"You'd make a lot more money
If you could fill a bigger brassiere"
And it seems to me you lived your life
Like a candle in the wind
Never knowing who to cling to
When the rain set in
And I would have liked to have known you
When I was just a kid
Your pictures taught me so much more
Then Sex Ed. ever did
Posing nude was tough
The toughest job you ever had
Hefner created a superstar
And your new boobs got you paid
Even when you died
Oh the press still hounded you
All the papers had to say
Was Anna and TrimSpa were being sued
And it seems to me you lived your life
Like a candle in the wind
Never knowing who to cling to
When the rain set in
And I would have liked to have known you
When I was just a kid
Your pictures taught me so much more
Then Sex Ed. ever did
Goodbye Vicki Smith
From a young man who enjoyed shots of your rear
And saw you as nothing more than sexual
No more than playmate of the year
And it seems to me you lived your life
Like a candle in the wind
Never knowing who to cling to
When the rain set in
And I would have liked to have known you
When I was just a kid
Your pictures taught me so much more
Then Sex Ed. ever did
