I want the word "rockjism" banned from these boards. I'm sick to death of it. You know how with certain sites, swear words appear as "s***" or "f***"? Strat, can't we do the same thing with rockjism?  Sure he can, he should change it to "retardonomics". |

Also I think "my blog" should be changed to "in a horse's ass".

What if you're in a place where you can't be listening to your own music? Like, waiting at the doctor's office for a checkup? Who sits in waiting rooms with their iPod in? Wankers, thats who. How will you know when your name is called? You won't & then you'll sit there for ages looking like a wanker.
And what about when you're riding in elevators, or grocery shopping, or doing your tax return with your accountant? Or getting a quote for your busted rear bumper? At some point you have to take your headphones off & actually talk to other people. And if you're in a supermarket & they're playing shitty muzak, that probably doesn't count as "listening to music", does it? No.

For instance-
If you want to talk about rockjism in an informed matter you can read my blog...
Would read-
If you want to talk about retardonomics in an informed matter you can read in a horse's ass...
BTW the way "in an informed matter"? Seriously.

"i listen to music every minute of every day".
I'm all for outlandish claims, I love them. But if you can't back that shit up, zip it. There are so many holes in this outlandish claim.
"Hi, I listen to Elvis Costello when I go for my prostate check. I find it relaxes my a-hole".

I'm going to have to confess that I listen to music when I shop for groceries...

There was also a period in my life when I listened to music when eating, but then I realized how retarded that is.

Thats ok, I do sometimes too. There are many weirdos in the supermarkets where I live.

I listen to music when I browse these boards, and when I tell PEW to shut the fuck up.

Just to get back on topic for a minute here, this debut album from Ms. Chapman was sensational. I've heard most of what she did after this hoping she could re-create the magic, but nothing ever came close. Definitely a one-album wonder.  |

I've heard most of what she did after this hoping she could re-create the magic, but nothing ever came close. Definitely a one-album wonder. I agree with this, except I didn't like her debut album either. "Fast Car" was alright, but I didn't understand the fuss over this record as a whole when it came out and I don't think it's worn well, either. Can't really argue with its inclusion in this topic, b/c (thankfully) she never had really significant commercial success again, either. (Well, unless you count that one awful moment when "Give Me a Reason" or whatever it was called made some noise in the mid-late nineties. That was a very lame blues number which really highlighted her weaknesses as a singer). |

Im glad Layla is Layla again. Tits McGee? No.
Lets set the record straight. If I were in a doctors office ALONE, no loved ones, no pets, no children, YES I would probably be listening to my own music at a low volume. I would know when my name was called. If im in a doctors office to begin with I would probably be scared as shit and be in no mood to read HIGHLIGHTS FOR CHILDREN and SPORTS ILLUSTRATED. Or Home Designs or etc. I could bring a book but if Im in the doctors office thats it. Scary shit. Yeah I want some tunes.
I am the asshole who listens to music while grocery shopping as well. What is wrong with that? Its better than scratching their private area and picking through the bell peppers (Ive seen it!) People get on their cell phones with that weird Star Trek thing hanging out of their ear--talking to whoever is on the other line about what kind of cheese to buy--why cant I throw on some King Crimson or Sunny Day Real Estate instead of listening to the absurd KJOY bullshit piping from the speakers telling you to consume more? If someone needs to talk to me I can hear em...volumes low enough. A couple of weeks ago this old lady yelled at me....CAN YOU HELP ME FIND SOME EGGS THAT ARENT BROKEN? Cashier: YELLING: PAPER OR PLASTIC! I whisper "whatever is easy for the bagger!"
Tracey Chapman was not a one album wonder. I don't like her music at all (REALLY) but holy cow I musta spent at least 50 bones on her stuff as gifts. Cant believe you are picking on her.
Mr. Big....WInger, White Lion.
Is this focused on what WE think are one album wonders? Or the music buying population? album sales or opinion?

That was never determined. It was mostly some sort of attempt at mental wankery on PEW's part and I think enlarge the traffic to his blog.
