Yay! New album! But… how come Mr. City Slang talks about "11 new and electrifying songs" while only 10 appear on the tracklist? Are there ten or eleven new songs on "Free So Free"? The listening audience needs to know! <img>
</font><blockquote><font>quote:</font><hr><font>and of course J’s new one Free so Free
Allison <img> </font><hr></blockquote><font>Seriously? I mean, I’m just about as excited as you are about the new album, but I can’t say I’m impressed by its title. In fact, I think it might be the first weak title J has ever produced. Most of his titles are fine, while "You’re living all over me" and "Where you been" stand out as two of the best titles in the history of pop music. But "Free So Free"? Come on. It sounds like it could be a — craptastic — new Paul McCartney album. ("Freedom! I’m talking about freedom! I haven’t written a decent song in decades, but I’m talking about freedom! Freedom!")
Needless to say, I’ll probably have no problem whatsoever with its title as soon as I’ve heard the first notes of "Free So Free." <img>
Hi Max,
So sorry to hear about your mother. She was a wonderful member of our Freakscene community; she helped make this place what it was and still is. Our thoughts are with you.
Take care,
Jasper
Isn’t the Goo VHS the missing third one? I saw that one a few weeks ago. Mildly entertaining, and Watt’s in it, but it has nothing to match the Uma interview… <img>
</font><blockquote><font>quote:</font><hr><font>Jasper, that little clip you posted is wicked cute. Is it for real, J doling out advice to young girls?</font><hr></blockquote><font>I assume it’s for real. Someone copied it from Sassy and posted it to the Freakscene mailing list in 1995. Question remains who thought of the idea to ask J for this…
I do think he gives good advice, though, so I think he should start a website where he gives people advice on their love life. It would be called "What Else Is New", and J would post there once a week with answers to the e-mails from brokenhearted people he received that week. This would also give him inspiration to write new songs. <img>
I mean, wouldn’t it be great to be able to read things like this every week:
Q. Do boys like big butts?
– Kim FranceA. I am baffled by this question. Butts are so awesome that obviously, the bigger, the better. Any guy who’s not a weirdo will take as much butt as he can get. I don’t know if you are worried yours is too big or too small, but it can’t be too big. Whatever it is, get into it.
I’ve always been impressed by John Lennon’s screaming on songs like "Yer Blues" and especially on "Well, well, well". But in my mind there is no one to even come close to Kurt Cobain. He could scream like no other. Pain on music.
The following are — by far — my favorite lines from J in an interview. It’s from an "interview" where J answers teenage girls’ most pressing questions for Sassy magazine. I love J’s answers. Most of what he says is actually good advice! Here it is:
Q. I like this boy. I hope he likes me ’cause he teases me a lot. How do you know when a boy likes you? Also, how do you get a boy to like you?
– ConfusedA. You can tell a boy likes you if he looks terrified whenever you’re around. He points his head at the ground, shakes and stutters, if he can ever get the nerve up to talk to you at all. You’ll see him around a lot and wonder how he got there. You’ll see him stare at you and dart his head away when you catch him. Either that, or he’ll do all he can to completely avoid you. Try to talk to him calmly whenever possible, and smile and flutter your eyes. Basically, guys like girls who like them. It’s pretty simple. So make him think you dig him and he’s yours.
Read the complete "interview" here.

Be that as it may, why is there only one female in the list of the top 100 guitar players Rosa linked to here? Only one out of a hundred. How can that be?
No pun intended here. This seriously puzzles me. Are girls — in general — less interested in playing guitar than boys? (Why would that be?) Is the list made up by sexist pigs who ignore important female guitar players? Any ideas?
I’m pretty sure that’s "I’ll take the rain" from their most recent album, Reveal. Great song. Might be one of their very best, in fact.
Yes, they can. It all depends, I think, on which member of Sonic Youth is writing the lyrics. Some of the lyrics written by Lee Ranaldo are excellent. "Wish Fulfillment," to name only one, has beautiful lyrics.
But even the lyrics by Kim Gordon are far better than the mindless crap Oasis dares to blurt out. I mean, Standing on the shoulder of giants? They can’t even spell the titles of their albums correctly. Anything on that last album could qualify as worst song ever, if you’d ask me.
Coffee. I was talking about coffee. I never said I wanted her to be topless. Don’t make my innocent crush into something raunchy. Thanks.
But, yes, I’ve seen The Gift. She looked good. And I liked her accent.
Katie Holmes.
Don’t look at me like that. She’s only four months younger than me.
And no need for any "nudge", Jaron. You pervert. I’d just like to have coffee with her. (While we both shake our heads as we see you making out with Michelle.)
Maybe we could talk about Dino. Jen once had a "Hand it Over" poster in her room in Dawson’s Creek. (In one of the first episodes of season 4, I think.) Maybe the cast is into J…
Katie, are you reading this? Forget about the coffee. Please marry me!
The ideal length for an album is exactly 48:11. Because Where You Been is the perfect album. Simple as that. <img>
