Billy Corgan is a bitter, old bald man and he sucks at life.

Agreed. My post from last night:

Billy Corgan is a pretentious cue-ball who hasn't made anything worthwhile since 1996.

Yeah, Johan can stick to what he really wants. And I didn't have a bigger bag with me.

I feel limited in my musical knowledge/education because I don't know how to illegally download albums, and it's too much of a pain in the ass to go song by song . . .

So if I don't have the $$$ to buy a cd, then I just have to be resigned to sit here in the darkness, not being able to delve into and hear Bob Dylan, Velvet Underground, David Bowie, Mutemath, The Jam, Sex Pistols, Flaming Lips, Echo & The Bunnymen, Joy Division, early Beatles, The Replacements, Pavement, those Finn brothers everyone's always talking about, Johnny Cash, Elvis, Queen, DJ Shadow, Black Sabbath, The Rolling Stones, etc., etc., etc.

I might find out how to download albums, but I prefer buying that stuff.

Try to find a used record store in your neighbourhood. Lots of great music for little money!

I am sooooooo lucky Princeton Record Exchange is now close by. That store is a gift from heaven.

I used to spend a lot of time too trying to pick music for the work commute, but now my commute is less than 10 min so sometimes there's no point in even getting the iPod out!

Yes.

Originally posted by LemonMacPhisto Question, is Frank Black's best of record a good place to get into his solo material? If it is, would anyone care to send it to me?

You came to the right place, sir. I am a huge Frank Black Francis fan. And I rarely condone buying Best Ofs. I would get either Teenager of the Year (if you want the really zany, genre-bending Frank with like 20 songs) or his 2nd album with the Catholics, Pistolero (for some good ol' rock and roll with funny lyrics). If you want something more current, his recent release Bluefinger is one of the best things he's done in ages, and he just released an EP, Svn fngrs, as well that's quite good.

The guy doesn't really have a bad album, unless you listen to the assholes from Pitchfork.

BTW, the new Portishead leaked.
