No Use For a Name - Part Two from Keep Them Confused
Happy Voting! Please vote!
In other news, Weezer has released their Red album. And it's certainly an improvement from their recent efforts. Maladroit was ok. But the Red album almost makes a Blue Album/Pinkerton-esque showing. I'm going to post one track, but I'm saving my favorite track for the end of the year. The funny thing is that I've read some negative reviews of that very track...more on that later.
But here's the track.
Weezer - Troublemaker
Finally, I'm going to start a new feature on this crazy thing. I'm thinking of calling it CP B-sides!
Basically, I will use this feature to allay the anxiety of wanting to post more songs to the Contrast Podcast than I'm allowed to. For instance, this week was Babies. And I submitted this:
Alan Wilkis - Bad Mamma Jamma from Babies Dream Big
but I wanted to submit this, too!:
Barenaked Ladies - Baby Seat from Maroon
and now everyone can enjoy both of them! Hooray Internet!
OK everyone! Have a great week or so!

I've heard the Red album is terrible. I didn't care for Pork and Beans
Why are you only watching the Lost finale now???? I am totally obsessed with that show - my husband and I are are going to watch a season 3 ep tonight in the time Lost is usually on and pretend it's a new one - very sad. As for votes -

No Use for a name
Andy - The way i look at the red album is this: If they had released a red EP which contained just the first 5 tracks, people would be a lot happier with it. The second half kind of ruins the good start that the first half provides. i was ok with pork and beans, but the other songs are better.
ReplyDeleteAnna- We've had the last 4 Lost Episodes taped since they aired, but we have basically watched all the other tv that we missed while we were moving (the problem with moving while show's are finale-ing) because lost requires the most attention. and i loved it and it was worth the wait! which season 3 episode did you watch?

Seems like the reviews of the Weezer album are all over the map, nice to hear your thoughts and thanks for the track.
I also really like, and may copy, your idea for CP B-sides. I was really torn between 2 this week :).
Holy,
ReplyDeleteKanye is utter crap, sorry. Therefore: Suicide Machines for sure. The other one is much more difficult, but I prefer No Use For A Name here.
Cheerio,
Dirk
Suicide Machines and No Use For a Name. And Binky agrees with me.
ReplyDeleteI'm sure glad I took my Blackberry to the zoo...
Suicide Machines and Bad Religion. I want to like No Use For A Name but hate them after their cover of Fairytale of New York. The Bishop had the Kanye CD in his car but I nagged him about 'being one of the kids' so much he threw it away.

ReplyDeleteAm I a tie-breaker? My gut is telling me:
ReplyDelete1. Kanye
2. Bad Religion
Say it (is) so.
Hey James,
ReplyDeleteIf the vote is still on I go for The Suicide Machines and Bad Religion.
And your site rocks!
