I love Cake, and I love this song...  have for a long time.

However, due to some bridge construction, a "Long Line of Cars" is my afternoon and morning commute (I work 6pm to 6am in IT for a solar panel manufacturer) sometime around 5:15pm and around 6:30 or 7am two or three days a week.  I really don't want to think about this song every time I hit that construction zone...  I'd hate to ruin what is a fantastic song.

Yes, here's your trophy.     The previous comment that I was replaying to...making fun of...was saying, dont say its garbage even it that is how you feel. 

There is a common mindset that no one should lose.  Everyone (e.g. little league. Just to make sure no one's feelings are hurt, we should not keep score.) should get a trophy just for showing up. 

Feminized culture: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Feminization_%28sociology%29    This is not all bad. Its been good in many ways. I added the work hyper for those cases where it is over the top.  You cannot have light without dark.  Masculinity is just as valid and like it or not, part of humanity.

I edited my previous post to help you understand.

 
And here is a great example: 

Canadian Youth Soccer League: Winning by More Than Five Counts as a Loss

Go up by 10, let the other team score 6 with no goalie. Wait, no the other team refuses to score.   Or maybe the teams just start scoring for the other team.   Must be great games to watch.
Maybe Bill should make the rule:  If anyone rates a song sucko-barfo, it becomes Godlike!

  3. If Bill didnt play it, would we ever hear it (wo playing it from our own collections)?
  4. In order to hear this song on commercial radio, one would have to suffer through the rest of the crud including commercials.

Remember, though, that just because you don't get them doesn't translate to 'they suck'. Haven't you ever recognized the talent of a group who's music you didn't particularly care for? I freely admit that Frank Zappa was a genius and a brilliant guitarist - but I found much of his music unlistenable. And lots and lots and lots of folks I admire had a completely different reaction.
 
Does anything on rp 'suck'?   If not, why did Bill create a 'Sucko-Barfo' rating?

Some songs clearly do (subjectively) suck.  Yes those that suck can (subjectively) be loved by others, and rightly so.

I love this song though - easy 8.

Yes, here's your trophy.     The previous comment that I was replaying to...making fun of...was saying, dont say its garbage even it that is how you feel. 

There is a common mindset that no one should lose.  Everyone (e.g. little league. Just to make sure no one's feelings are hurt, we should not keep score.) should get a trophy just for showing up. 

Feminized culture: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Feminization_%28sociology%29    This is not all bad. Its been good in many ways. I added the work hyper for those cases where it is over the top.  You cannot have light without dark.  Masculinity is just as valid and like it or not, part of humanity.

WTF that has to do with opinions I don't know, but perhaps the word has been invented/adopted by the chattering classes to sound clever and just means 'opinion'. And no, I'm not going to look in a dictionary for it.

 
This is a rather silly comment from the "jury"

Trope is a real word. This distinguishes it from "pseudy" or "poncey".

Is a dictionary difficult to use?  Might learn something....I did.

Trope: Any literary or rhetorical device, as metaphor, metonymy, synecdoche, and irony, that consists in the use of words in other than their literal sense.

When this song is 20+ years old, and if this song is still played on contemporary music sources, and if I am listening to those sources, then maybe I'll revisit my rating of it. It to will have reached "timeless" status at that point.  Only 16 years to go....

Biography by Jason Birchmeier
From the ashes of Morphine came Twinemen, a trio also boasting singer/songwriter Laurie Sargent. The vocalist began her career fronting the short-lived mid-'80s act Face to Face before spending a few years as a solo artist in the late '90s. She adds her experience to that of Billy Conway and Dana Colley, the former drummer and saxophonist, respectively, for Morphine, who disbanded in 1999 after the death of vocalist Mark Sandman. The three began performing in the Boston area, maintaining a residency at the Lizard Lounge, before teaming with Hi-N-Dry to release its self-titled debut album in 2002.

Hard to argue with......  I don't really follow Bono much.  Anyone that says we should stop giving aid to Africa and instead trade with her, has got some smarts.  How many more times are we going to send $B to African dictators to squirreled away in Swiss accounts or simply wasted.      We would be better served to give the $ to American farmers to compensate them while we go about removing tariffs on imports of cotton, honey, dairy, grains, etc.    Let Africa compete.  I believe International Charity is unconstitutional.    It is a tough call, because we need American Farms, especially small farms.

Wow, sure glad THAT scenario didn't happen.

Gimme the damn reins to the horse, I'll take that post-industrial future any day.



Isn't the key point... IT DIDN'T HAPPEN? Why? Capitalism and markets....supply and demand (including labor)... Property rights. You see while those captains of industry may have wanted to be treated as "the Man" true, other forces existed.

Pol Pot and Mao tried it your way (pre- not post-industrialism)...read about it. It was a real Utopia man!

dumb pseudonym, not that great of a blues singer... 6. Otherwise nice song minus the vocals.
The singer's name dates back to the one she gave when arrested in 1984 at a protest called "The War Chest Tour" during the Democratic National Convention in San Francisco, California. The demonstration challenged the practice of U.S. corporations giving campaign contributions to both Democratic and Republican parties, thus benefiting from political favors regardless of which party is elected. "Michelle Shocked" was a play on words intended to resemble the phrase "shell shocked." The front cover of one of her best-known albums, Short Sharp Shocked, shows her restrained by the chokehold of a San Francisco policeman in a front-page photograph published by the San Francisco Examiner the following day.

"The fact is simple and unacceptable - forty-two years after the Equal Pay Act was passed women working full-time, year round, are only making 76 cents to every dollar a man earns," said NOW President Kim Gandy. "This kind of discrimination has an economically devastating impact on women and their families."


It's telling that you leave "experience" out of the "full-time, year round" criteria for equal pay.

The reason women make less is because they often choose to leave the work place to have babies. When they come back to work 15 years later, they make less. They have 15 years less experience!

This line doesn't ring true. My dog only stares at meaningful things, like food, or her master, or other dogs, or interesting sounds.
When she's relaxed, she lies with her eyes half closed. "Staring" isn't the right word for that at all.
"Lying in the dust" or "sleeping in the dust" maybe?


Ummm, I think it isnt really the dust that the dog is looking at...it is instead that his master just drove down the road creating the dust. The dog is looking for him, but sees only dust.

"Extraordinary Machine"

I certainly haven't been shopping for any new shoes
-And-
I certainly haven't been spreading myself around
I still only travel by foot and by foot, it's a slow climb,
But I'm good at being uncomfortable, so
I can't stop changing all the time

I notice that my opponent is always on the go
-And-
Won't go slow, so's not to focus, and I notice
He'll hitch a ride with any guide, as long as
They go fast from whence he came
- But he's no good at being uncomfortable, so
He can't stop staying exactly the same

If there was a better way to go then it would find me
I can't help it, the road just rolls out behind me
Be kind to me, or treat me mean
I'll make the most of it, I'm an extraordinary machine

I seem to you to seek a new disaster every day
You deem me due to clean my view and be at piece and lay
I mean to prove I mean to move in my own way, and say,
I've been getting along for long before you came into the play

I am the baby of the family, it happens, so
- Everybody cares and wears the sheeps' clothes
While they chaperone
Curious, you looking down your nose at me, while you appease
- Courteous, to try and help - but let me set your
Mind at ease

(Chorus)

-Do I so worry you, you need to hurry to my side?
-It's very kind
But it's to no avail; I don't want the bail
I promise you, everything will be just fine

If there was a better way to go then it would find me
I can't help it, the road just rolls out behind me
Be kind to me, or treat me mean
I'll make the most of it, I'm an extraordinary machine

Can you explain what you mean?


The Silver Apples of the Moon comes from the poem by William Butler Yeats, "The Song of Wandering Aengus." The title of the song is taken from the closing lines of the poem:

and walk among long dappled grass,
and pluck till time and times are done
the silver apples of the moon,
the golden apples of the sun.

Okay - I'm not usually pissed about much but I just purchased this CD ($23.95 shipped from Amazon) and found that it was unplayable on my car CD player. Is it just me - have I been living under a rock - was I supposed to know about this before I purchased it, or what?? Somebody please tell me there's another way to listen to this in my car - otherwise it's pretty much garbage. Anyone?


Why wont it play? No idea?

If it will play on your computer, you can always rip it and then burn a new audio disk. I use Exact Audio Copy (EAC) with Lame. EAC is the best (smartest) ripper. It will reread damaged areas on a disk repeatedly and try to determine what was originally there statistically. It will also use your CD drive's hardware capabilities if it is a good one. Most rippers just blaze through and copy crap with there are errors on the disk.

Excellent writeup on the band here: http://www.nationalreview.com/miller/miller200509130815.asp

According to the article, the band's fans ("Sigurheads") have given this track the unofficial title "Popp."


Is that a typo? Not "poop"?

Checkout Slimdevices.com. I have two squeezeboxes and love them. Even allows me to sync two stereos. Plus, the server software is open source. It will likely never become obsolete, because there is a community, outside of the slimdevices, that can keep the server sfwr updated. You can use the server even w/o a box, for free, to serve your music to you at your computer at work.
