Hey, if Zig's mom is 50, and he's 13, that means she was 37 when she had him...

The ot.com 37 connection lives!

Wow, it feels really wrong saying that to a 14 year old... :(

It's only wrong if you mean it that way...

Meant it what way? That'd I'd totally go for your mom if it weren't for the overly demanding TV's Mom?

Ha-ha, my mom has you whipped.

Wait...

ELO is one of my all time bands, but I can't help but feel like the film and commercial industry is turning them into another AC/DC. Seems like every movie or commercial has an ELO song in it, which is cool, but kind of a bummer at the same time. Mr. Blue Sky is one of their absolute best songs, but it gets played in every friggin movie or commercial.

Don't Bring Me Down is next in line. It's more offensive to me, because it's my absolute favorite of theirs.

Evil Woman used to be played like that, but people eventually eased off of it.

I totally agree.

Jack and Jill isn't worthy of that song in their trailer.

And to respond to the inevitable comment from Fink that will follow this post: I fully intended to post the last song they played, which was the last song I listened to, but can't for the life of me remember which one it was.

Ummmmm, I think you want this thread.

I think I just out frinked frink!

My mom is really into that band [Rammstein].

That is just weird to think about. I couldn't imagine my mother being into anything like that, but then I realized that your mother is likely only a few years older than me... which was even weirder to think about.

Umm, I need to go now, I have some crying over my lost youth to do... And when I am done with that I'll probably go listen to some Rammstein.

Actual LOL

Man, I'm glad I bumped this, funny stuff.

You made your edit after I made my post, cheater.

Wha? I'd never!

The cake might be a lie, but your reason for edit timestamp is not.

Hand In Hand ~ Dire Straits

I generally prefer my Dire Straits to have the dockside pub feel of their earlier albums, but their Springsteen-esque Making Movies is undoubtedly their most overlooked effort. Overshadowed by the Grammy Award-winning Brothers In Arms, and the monster guitar chops of their first effort, this album makes it's own unique statement.

This album is really a departure. Seems like they had more fun. Still a guitar driven album, this one seems to be more restrained, though it's probably the closest thing to a hard rock album they've done.

Dire Straits albums seem to age better than most. Making Movies could've been recorded today, and still seem fresh.

I actually own it on vinyl. Great fucking album. I believe Pitchfork.com called it the best album of 2009.

Just sayin'.

That's one of the best tracks on the album.

Gotta say, Rammstein rarely disappoints. 

CP3S said:

I am pretty sure that is my favorite track on the album.

I like Frühling In Paris the most. I would've said Donaukinder, but it's a bonus track. Of course the whole album is pretty great. Even the worst songs eventually become likeable. They prove you can be just as heavy and controversial on the wrong side of 40 as you were at 20. They don't sound any older than they did on Herzeleid, maybe more solid.

Fixed.
