I just looked, and the only lyrics Jamie Foxx's "song" has in common with Can's are the first and last lines.

Oh, no worries. We've all had our moments.

Gawd! the critics ripped Davey and Jade a new one for making this album
But I think its pretty good. It's not really for anyone looking for AFI's typical sound. This album reminds me alot of Human League. Its very electronic and seriously has that cold sterile feel to it.

I'm already a big fan of AFI, so I had to get it, but I wouldn't recommend it for people expecting AFI and thats where I think some of the bad reviews stem from. I was reading one by a guy who was obviously a fan of their older punk sound, and of course he had nothing good to say, but I had to ask myself, ..."If I was a strictly punk fan, would I really expect to like an electronic album just because it was by a band that has made punk records?"

Long story short...I like the album alot. It can get kinda monotonous to listen to straight through, but its a pretty good venture into yet another new genre for them

Still, Malcommooney will whoop suzuki ass!

I've been trying to cut down on purchases. But here's what I've bought lately:


Stanley Clarke's "East River Drive" -- I had it on tape, when "Poetic Justice" came out and just needed to update my catalog.

Eric Clapton's "Behind the Sun" -- haven't listened to it yet.

Lonnie Smith et. al. "Afrodesia" -- it's cool. The personnel lists are a bit confusing as to who is actually playing. But George Benson, Ron Carter, Dr. Lonnie Smith and a bunch of other people are credited.

The World Has Made Me The Man Of My Dreams -- Me'Shell Ndegeocello

Ear Drum -- Talib Kweli

Finding Forever -- Common

Eardrum is excellent! Is most of Madlibs production as lush as 'Still the New DAy"? To me, thats the tightest track on the album.

Anxiety said:

Thanks. I'll definitely keep this in mind when making up my mind. But I did finally get a chance to listen to the album this afternoon. My standout right now is "Doing It Right." I kept repeating that one.

You've noticed! Welllll, since you askedddd. Here's some shots I got off my phone (I couldn't get any of Meshell because she is very strict about any kind of cameras or flash photography while she performs -- due to her epilepsy.


Here's the scene right when I left the venue after the show. They were playing old school hip hop [Fat Boys, Special Ed, etc.]


And here's a shot of some posters I saw on a liquor store in Brooklyn.

OH YEAH, COREY GLOVER (of Living Colour) was in the AUDIENCE! I said hi to him after the show. My little fam moment. lol

Hey sexton, I checked out a little of the album. I like "Something 4 Porno." I saw a bit of the video [wooo, what a video, lol].

Mara said:

I must be the only person that likes this album more than the first one.

Mara said:

I'll look out for that video.

Too many to fuckin' mention. My Visa is just pooched.

All in the last month? Party at Cinnie's house!

Cinnie said:

Wait a minute. I just realized something.

Is that MJ's mugshot glowing through a jack-o-lantern?

As that hobbitch looking all suspect in your av?

Check my GD thread.

His beats are usually as soulful but not that polished, I swear someone went in and did post-production on "Still The New Day" (I agree though, that's the reason I bought the album).

Moonbeam said:

Yeah I think it was a bit of Autumn / new job / turning 27 anxiety.
[Edited 10/18/07 20:41pm]

Like all these were new to me in the past week or so.

Cinnie said:

Welcome to 27! I'm there too. It just means we're cubes, is all. I much prefer 27 to 26.

Moonbeam said:

Weirdo.

You're in your prime, bitch! Next year you'll be a perfect fifth! Then you'll be Jesus.
