[kj] (OT) Bass cadets

[Karen Weil]

Ah, another cheesecake RS cover -- whatta shocker. And you're right, Bette -- that mag does suck. 
An icon? Huh? The woman's been around all of what, 5 seconds? Because she wears, like, really odd clothing? Such is our celeb-hype age. 
Bette, you are indeed a ray of sunshine. : )  Just call me a Southwestern moon rise, myself. ; ) 

Cheers,

Karen W.

  I guess she is a cheap act, eh?  The record companies are even more parsimonious than they were, so they love a dumb hieress tart like that beeeatch.  She's probably spending alot of her own money.  Sorry, I just looked and saw she is on the US's cover of Rolling Stone, which already sucked but now, grrr.  Her biggest fan is Marilyn Manson!  Why the fuck do I know this?  Damn.  I thought he was in an alley somewhere.
   
  The funny thing is that I read all these NZ reviews and Australian reviews saying "Hey!  She isn't as bad as the Pussychat Mannequins, so that makes her great, people!  She is (get ready) an icon!  A legend!"  I think my hairball loving cat could produce better sounds that those ladies of the evening.  Everyone media outlet sucking each other off.  And people around here ask me when did I get into "Batman" when I mention Killing Joke.  Mama mia.
   
  Just call me a Midwestern American ray of fucking sunshine,
  Bette

    > the music and talent behind the songs is SO bad.

    There may be some talent (of hers)  in this vid, though it'll prolly never see the light of day if it does exist. 
    It's a remake of a hit of hers but performed very differently in the first 1:45min. of the vid.

    Poker Face, http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OGrxuby_WuE

    Maybe Youth will get his hands on her. Before Prince does, anyway.

    God Lady Gaga is shite…where are the decent female artists these days?  To me they are all more worried about image than anything else. Trying to come across as cool, risqué (I kissed a girl and I liked it…whoopty shit!), but the music and talent behind the songs is SO bad.

    Really?  We must have a similar chromosome.  We also have the BPF gene....lol.
     
    "Murmur" was such a very rich and wonderful album, and that song is just gorgeous.
     
    I looked up "Heaven" in the UK, and yeah, I know it is a gay bar....but the article I read was about Lady Gaga (wonder what Alex in NYC thinks of this chick going around saying she IS NYC, and rivals Andy Warhol in talent) performing or going there.....KJ is gonna play there?  Very unique.  Maybe I am just an envious little sod across the pond.......

      Really?  Didn't get into "Murmur"?  I think "Pilgrimage" is one of their best songs ever.

      That whole 1st REM 5 song EP was sick and twisted. The only other record that comes close it "Reckoning".

      Pete Buck (I am only speaking of early REM, like " Chronic Town ", "Murmur" and "Reckoning") had such a distinctive style of guitar playing.  Actually inspired me in so many ways.  They were so great in their early years.  Isn't Mike Mills the name of the bassist?  Just listening to "Wolves, Lower" and am astounded by his playing.  
      Who was the bassist on "Learning to Crawl"?  That had some tight bass lines, for sure.

        I was also going to say John Paul Jones, Youth, and 'that guy from Siouxsie & and Bs.' 

      I'd just add Lee Dorman of Iron Butterfly, Geddy Lee (of Rush) of course, and the entire Reggae movement in general.
