Take me to an island
Top 5 Albums I would want to take to a deserted island:
The Beatles - Rubber Soul(1965 US vinyl version)
I dont even think I need to explain this. Actually I fucking know I dont need to explain this but I will anyway. And I dont want to come off as an elitist bastard but the US vinyl release has two of the best songs ever, "I've Just Seen a Face" and "It's Only Love". Keep your fucking acid up your ass fellas, actually I am pretty sure that will have you tripping balls as well, but just give me 35min of good marijuana influenced ass kicking pop songs and then we can filter out all those doochebags trying to tell me how amazing Sgt. Peppers is. I ALREADY KNOW! But what do those clowns know about "Girl" and "Run for your Life"..........................clowns.
The Smiths - The Queen is Dead (1986)
I want to make out with Johnny Marr. You can't do it better and with good ole Stephen crooning the shit out of my heart i dont know whether to start crying or kick a dog. "There is a Light That Never Goes Out" is dead on like a mother fucker "Take me out tonight/Where there's music and there's people/ And they're young and alive/ Driving in your car I never never want to go home/ Because I haven't got one/ Anymore"...every verse kicks me soul, god damn you Morrissey! and then the chorus para-phrased "Umm fuck these clowns, id rather sit here with you and die" and ummmmmmmmm that talks to me. And Frankly, Mr. Shankly between solid rythm, majestic pop riffs and crooning poetry, they got me hooked like a freshly popped teenage girl.
The Kinks - Kinda Kinks (1965)
The Kinks are the most kick ass punch you in your face band ever. They would completely beat the shit out of Paul, John, George and Ringo but as soon as they would Sgt. Pepper would come out and lay a smack down. But this society of preservers would rally together and oust that bloated Sgt. Pepper and stomp his face in. By far Ray Davies IS the man, I wish he was my dad. He just walked around and bitched people just writing the best songs...Beatlemania? Beatlemania this...BAM! ***JANK! JANK! JANK!***"I wanna a lot outta life but I got my limitations..." ***JANK! JANK! JANK!*** Plus there is something about a band that is dressed in suits but reak of whiskey and hate each other, its sex, "Dont Ever Change".
The Modern Lovers - The Modern Lovers (Recorded: 1973 ; Released: 1976)
Ummmm have you fucking heard RoadRunner? CLOWNS! Get off my lawn!!
The Velvet Underground - The Velvet Underground (1969)
This album cause its dark and bright/heavy and light/the best and the best. "oh John Cale you wanna leave thats cool, dont forget your viola...anyway hey Moe...count it!" My feelings on John Cale is the same as my feelings on Acid...Im glad I did it but I dont really need it around, im glad i know what a glowing tree looks like and how beautiful a leaf really is but after a while I get really paranoid and shitty. This album is Lou Reed, it stinks Reed and I wouldn't trade it for any other VU albums.

Hi-Fi Poppin Cry
Lazy hung over Sunday's bring out the best in mindless thoughts. And...what's gayer than 3 dudes in their underwear gossiping about girls/boys and expressing how the broccoli cassarole the night before was to die for? i know...three boys in their underwear gossiping about girls/boys, expressing how the broccoli cassarole the night before was to die for and then deciding it would be a great idea to put on a john cusack movie!
Whatever... First of all sitting all day in my underwear is the only way i want to live my life. Second of all something about broccili reminds me of eating pussy and i like it. Third of all, High Fidelity is a kick ass movie and just cause it is a John Pussy-ack movie doesnt mean that watching "Say Anything" and enjoying it is ok, by any means.
Now back to the lecture at hand...
In the movie, Rob Gordon asks:
Pretty good question huh? I'll tell you something...im fucking miserable and nothing brings me more joy than listening to a heart ripping pop song of any kind. You can shove your child's play heavy metal/nu-metal talk about nookie or breaking faces up your overgrown vagina-esque urethra, thats just shit of little kids, too pussy to let you know what they are really trying to say (my mommy touched me in the bath and my dad thinks im gay) So its covered up with distorted shit guitars and bad haircuts...
And then about 15 years down the road, one night after your boss just shat all over your life because you didnt number the pages on your annual report correctly, youll come home to kids hunched over an old shoebox which your sleeved wife has shown them, a shoe box filled with pics of daddy in his crazy youth and his greasy plastered hair...and you'll lose all respect you ever had and now you are stuck with your wife touching your best friends balls in the bath and your kids thinking that their dad is gayer than vince neil, now and then.
come bro give it up show me dem hard core fingers.
Now, I dont think there is any doubt that the first miserable soul, to write what became the skeleton of pop music, was a miserable prick but now for the rest of us, why has pop music (pop music worth a damn) appealed to the masses, why have these songs about "heartbreak, rejection, pain, misery and loss" become the staple of what a pop song is?
I didnt want to give answer for this but fuck it im smart...
I thinks it because we are all a bunch of self-loathing selfish babies, always looking for comfort from our mothers teet. Always questioning "why me" "why i cant i have him/her...its not fair"...i dont think that is going to change and i dont think im going to ever trust a mother fucker who doesn't feel that, its human.
Dont get me wrong there is a ton load of shitty pop songs and pop bands and pop fads...
but i do feel that this exposure of human nature makes some of the best music, someone showing you how they feel when no one is around...showing us that when we are by ourselves we all are fucking self loathing selfish babies. Agree with me or not but remember me the next time your ass get rejected for a kiss or your girlfriend is found making out with some bro in his lifted chevy...its normal, you are NORMAL! deal with it...and dont call me a pussy for pointing it out, your the pussy who cries when you masterbate because of all your repressed emotion.
i love pop music and i love it cause it makes me feel normal...because it helps me forget about my shit for 3mins in a day.

In the movie, Rob Gordon asks:
"What came first, the music or the misery? People worry about kids playing with guns, or watching violent videos, that some sort of culture of violence will take them over. Nobody worries about kids listening to thousands, literally thousands of songs about heartbreak, rejection, pain, misery and loss. Did I listen to pop music because I was miserable? Or was I miserable because I listened to pop music?"
