NB 9: Weekend Spam #2

I.

“This movie is for people who can look somewhat deeper into comedy than someone punching someone else in the face or exposing themselves, which can be funny sometimes, if done right. Think about why it’s funny, and if your smart enough, you’ll laugh for hours. ”

IMDb boards are the funniest thing on the internet, fact! Constant wars everywhere, the cult films are best though.

Hoo-ah!

Libertines Musical? I actually like the Libertines quite a lot, but this sounds like one of the most godawful ideas ever conceived. A musical with all the music done by a "white boys with guitars" group that can't play their instruments... although that's kinda harsh, the Libertines were unique!
...they had a black bassist.

I aim to copy and paste some feelies re-union news here.

Slightly dodgy homage of the Crazy Rhythms cover by the NY Times, I love it!

Negative Review:
Travis-Singles:
So Travis are the greatest "okay pop-rock" group of their era, they are absolutely amazing at being okay, 1 decade in and they're still outstandingly talented at being okay. Coldplay would be their rivals at being brilliantly okay but Coldplay try to be better so they lose out.
This is a compilation of singles off their first few albums. So it's one whole album of their best okay pop, which means it's great... in an okay way.
Rating: Okay

Marian Finucane Moment:
Going back to Robert Klein almost immediately, cos I actually forgot how amazing his second cd is. This is a joke about Watergate... so it may feel slightly out of date. It was an event of comedy gold and is hugely lacking in good available material though.

Song of the Week:
Ultrasound-Floodlit World
Undoubtedly one of the best singles from the 90s in my opinion. Gloriously over the top! Nearly Dog Man Star-esque. Also check out B-Side Kurt Russell.
Lord knows how a band with so much potential managed to mess it all up so much, they had even got past the fact that their image was just plain weird.
