Thinking of bringing back my weekly podcast after the move. Who'd be interested in listening if I did?

Reason this came up: I was brainstorming a list of a certain class of early 90s hip-hop that I can't really quantify... they have a certain sound to them, I guess is all. But so far what's on the list:

House of Pain - Jump Around
Onyx - Slam
Black Sheep - The Choice is Yours (this or that)
Cypress Hill - Insane in the Membrane
Snap - The Power
Rob Base/DJ E-Z Rock - It takes two
Public Enemy - 911 is a joke/fight the power

Any other ideas, fellow "we actually remember what was on the radio 20 years ago" people?

I should stress, I don't mean any of that pejoratively. I love big dramatic arena rock. Queen and Journey and whatnot. If a song like The Choice Is Yours is wrong I don't want to be right.

How do you feel about the still-constant playing of "Rock and Roll Part 2"

[anagramofbrat.livejournal.com]

Not sure whom you are adressing, but yeah, much as I can't listen to Chris Brown without squicking, I can't do it with Gary Glitter either. Or watch Sean Connery, Roman Polanski or Mel Gibson movies without needing a shower afterwards. Which is why I hate it when people make things I like and then turn out to be douchebags and ruin it.

I never liked the song very much. It doesn't really pump me up the way other songs in the "stadium rock" category do. Gary Glitter himself being a scumbag is just the sprinkles on top.

Aw man, what did Sean Connery do? I'm out of the loop on this one, I guess.

[anagramofbrat.livejournal.com]

YEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEARS ago (like pre TMZ/social network internet, lol) he was interviewed on barbara walters and said straight up that it's okay to slap women around if they provoke it, "but it's not okay if the fist's closed."

,,,yeah, no.

You should ask cell23 to do his impression of Sean Connery playing a Vietnamese hooker. I think he was part of that evening.

*facepalm* no... I think I've heard this before. And had managed to block it out until now, thanks.

Terribly sorry. Didn't mean to bring back past trauma.

[anagramofbrat.livejournal.com]

s'ok, inappropriate mental trauma is kinda part of the whole "Date Tatro Boy At Own Risk" deal. I've accepted this long ago.

[lynxreign.livejournal.com]

I was asking telepresence. I thought I'd responded to his thing about stadium rock.

I have no problem with consuming media created by people I hate and/or people who hate me. I just don't pay for it.

you know, that's a fair point....
