It's one particularly annoying vaiety of the same crap I seem to hear all over the radio every time I turn it on. It seems like 90% of radio-played popular music content can be reduced to about 5 really annoying tunes, of which this bit of insipid white-guy-trying-to-be-soulful treacle is one.

Enron was not the first corporate scandal nor the first involving a corporation's "independent" auditor. And it won't be the last, especially if we forget the 2nd of December.

I think I may have heard of Type O Negative. Clearly, I am behind the times. I just got a new car with XM radio as part of the package, and I have been listening to their "emerging" station, The Verge.

I was going to cite "Figured You Out" as a seminal Nickelback song - it's my favorite. Kind of a "You Oughta Know" from the other perspective.
However, I'll link to "How You Remind Me," another Nickelback song I like. Definitely superior to "Far Away," which I concede is not their best effort.

Unfortunately, he threw away his creative better half when he tuned his back on Kim Deal. She was the driving force behind the music. He was more about the words. Last Splash did better than any of his solo material ever did. The blockbuster hit from that album, .Cannanball, makes it clear that Kim Deal was the sine qua non.

Considering that the next nine of the ten best alternatives available to Webb involved physical violence upon his host, "snubbed" seems like the gentlemanly alternative.
There's a local radio station that recently tweaked it's format, I guess it's what they call "adult alternative"- which does sound kind of boring, I'll admit.
But I can hear stuff ranging from Bob Marley to the new Dylan to Susan Tedeschi to XTC or the Beatles' doing "I Am the Walrus", or KT Tunstall... plus they work really hard to support local music.
The other night, I had just gone to bed, & Springsteen's "Atlantic City" came over the radio... I had *never* heard that song without *expecting* to hear it (because I had the Nebraska tape in the deck) and it gave me chills.
It's that hope of being surprised that keeps me listening to radio, rather than programming something to give me what I want.

Since this is a music thread, I'll point out that gilliard has a link to a rap song out called "50 Shots":
http://stevegilliard.blogspot.co...first-
time.html
What people need to understand is the anger comes from the refusal of juries to jail cops after they murder people in the streets. No matter how egregious the murder, there is always an excuse. They must have done something to get shot. When they're 10, 14, 92. They did something.
Then you get the racist argument put forth by people like Clyde Haberman, suggesting that the negroes should be happy there is less crime, eventhough their unarmed men are gunned down like cattle by a man who has spent the better part of a year caging drinks in a nightclub while armed.
Well, let's explain why people are pissed. In every police shooting, no one is jailed, but the taxpayers ger a bill for a couple of million dollars. No wrong doing, but a civil judgement. Notice the contradiction there?
And then they blame Sharpton or someone else for making noise, when in reality, they're keeping people from rioting. Only non-white communities in New York are asked to accept the shooting of the unarmed. A criminal like fat Nick Minucchi can have his dumb as shit mother claim conspiracy, despite her bum of a son didn't have a job and had money. Yet, when someone suggests that the police committed murder, they get all kinds of indignation.
Well, how angry are people?

Well, I guess it's easy enough to find pot in the Philadelphia area, but I wouldn't even know where to begin around here.
DC went from having some of the best radio programming in the country, back in the seventies... classical, jazz, blues and bluegrass, and indy rock with two or three stations in each category to having...
...nothing...
Only WPFW remains, programming jazz and Pacifica news, but I don't think it's something anyone can listen to all the time.

Journey wasn't bad as a jam band. When Steve Perry joined they went in an entirely different direction (read: money).

Respect is earned, pie. It isn't freely given out.
The same thing happened to many of the so called rock bands in the last three decades. They all eventually run out of material and start doing schmaltzy slow-dance music.

Nickelback will be the Journey of this decade only without any of the retro/nostalgia fun. Powerballads that seem catchy enough in the background on the radio but then you see the video and really listen to it and hope either you or Chad Kroeger die in the next ten seconds and then you hope it's actually you who die because living through a Tupac-like postmortem proliferation of Nickelback "artistry" would be too much to bear.

"LOS ANGELES, California (AP) -- The city's fire chief announced his retirement Friday amid a racially charged furor involving a black firefighter who was served spaghetti mixed with dog food.
Chief William Bamattre, 54, said the scandal had "political implications beyond the scope of the Fire Department."
"I have become the focus of the debate and that is to the detriment of the LAFD," he said. He planned to step down January 1.
The firefighter who was fed the spaghetti claimed that it was racial discrimination and that he was harassed after reporting it. But other firefighters insisted it was an ordinary firehouse prank with no racist intent."

"Bamattre, whose predecessor left abruptly a decade ago during a similar crisis, was given charge of the 3,900-member department in the mid-1990s with a mandate to stamp out racism and sexism.
But the city controller released an audit almost a year ago that concluded discrimination, hazing and harassment persisted in the department despite a zero-tolerance policy for such behavior.
Pierce, 51, said his 20-year career was destroyed after he broke a code of silence and spoke out against the spaghetti prank. The department disciplined two white captains and one Latino firefighter.
The issue blew up last month after the City Council approved a $2.7 million settlement to Pierce."

Nickelback and the legion of bands of its ilk seem to me to have lost the art of song writing. Whatever happened to the musical hook that set up a song from the first few notes? Keith Richard's ability to come up with those has kept the Stones rolling for forty years (insert Stones hatred here). These completely unmemorable songs seem to just start and then we have some whiney-voiced white guy who is indistinquishable from the lead singers of a thousand other bands commit public emotional masturbation about something that is so obscurely personal to him that I just don't give a shit about it.

We musta been ignerent in El Paso growing up. Actually, loogie wasn't in our vocabulary.
We just puked and hurled. Never hocked till later, I think Minneapolis was the first time I hocked.

There was something that felt atypical to me. I mean, I've had knockdown fights with Tena (and others) over homeschooling, Phila (and others) over vegans/vegetarians, Woody (and others) over their possession of the One Truth, etc, but those were more like principled, passionate, reasonable disagreements that I understood. I totally did not get why I was caught in the crossfirer, as it were, last night.

Emo was bred and died the same day that Sunny Day Real Estate released it's first album.

I had sex with Nickelback and all I got was this lousy rash.
The name represents (quite accurately) the sound of the most powerful form of vomiting, in which every muscle of the body is involved.
Actually, the sound differs on whether you are vomiting up something or whether it's the "dry" heaves. If all you are bring up is bile and stomach lining while spraining your abdominal muscles, there is remarkably little sound.

When WHFS was freeform, it was brilliant, but by the mid-1980s that was pretty much over. They went totally corporate in the 90s and flipped to Latin music last year. A sad, slow death really.

If we're on the subject of bad music, do you know The Shaggs from neighboring New Hampshire?
This adolescent sister act had a famously ill-composed, ill-sung, ill-played song My Pal Foot-Foot, a true story about their lost dog.
It was good song in its way since it really sounded like sad girls singing about their lost dog. They wrote a sequel too when Foot-Foot's story turned tragic and they got a new dog

Dozens killed in Baghdad blasts
At least 43 people have been killed after three massive car bomb blasts rocked the centre of the Iraqi capital, Baghdad.
Another 91 people have been wounded in the attack, which took place in the central Rusafa district at sunset.
The first blast appeared to target an Iraqi army vehicle on patrol, a security official said.
The second blast erupted immediately after the first with the third a few moments later, rocking windows 500 metres away on the opposite bank of the river Tigris.
Shortly afterwards gunfire erupted around the city.

Egypt to dig up pharaonic tombs
Bulldozers have moved in to demolish houses in the Egyptian village of Qurna which sits on top of dozens of pharaonic tombs in Luxor.
The Egyptian government is determined to move the 3,200 families of the village to an alternative settlement it has built a few kilometres away.
Officials say emptying out the village will enable them to explore the tombs and to protect them from water damage.
An official ceremony was held and the bulldozers moved in.
They demolished four uninhabited mud brick houses in the village of Qurna, very near the Valley of the Kings in Luxor.

Hundreds of protesters, including activists from Hezbollah and its pro-Syrian allies, are camped outside Prime Minister Fouad Siniora's offices.
Mr Siniora, who is there with his ministers, is refusing to step down.
The UK Foreign Secretary Margaret Beckett met Mr Siniora to express support for his government, rocked by resignations and a minister's murder.
Good Kayle.
Erinpdx, being surrounded by teens has that effect.....
Way too many people go straight to orthopods rather than seeing a good rheumatologist or internist. Hubby went for years because the damned O was underdosing him for gout (big guy, needed more).

One of my best friends in High School was the son of an O. Lots of heated discussions there.
Neither of us became either kind of doctor, he's an engineer.

BAs problem was that he was almost too talented, he could pump out one competent record after another but never really challenged himself.
There are a lot of talented people who seem to coast on their talent. Ken Griffey Jr came across that way very often.

That is no way for a good xtian wife to speak.
Now, go watch your video again.
Tena, snowed about 1/4 inch on top of the ice glaze, gone yesterday before 9.
Left work early Thursday, came in late Friday. And all day on the tv got to laugh at the local reporters trying to find a patch of ice to report on.
I hate it when the trolls assume they are members of the community.
It's part of the tone-deafness that makes up their world view.
Ruth, the amount of bacon I cook is amazing. Where are you located?
With all the questions about why Atrios never links to black music I have to ask the even more obvious question: Where the fuck are the links to heavy metal?
In "The Terminator," defense grid computers, hooked into everything and trusted to run it all, evolve into a new form of intelligence. The instant they achieve a form a machine consciousness they perceive humans as the enemy, and they launch missiles to annihilate us.
This music is what will piss them off.

Ahem. It's the Right that is full øf self-loathing. There are self-loathing gays, self-loathing ethnic Repugs, self-loathing women -

Secretary of State Condoleezza Rice said Friday she is certain the United States has made mistakes in the Iraq war, but the world will have to wait until she is out of government to learn what she thinks they were.
Who sez FReepers can't spell and coin new words, even?
Ah yes, instead of the world listenign to the commanderso n the ground IN Iraq, they'll wait till Condi- the brilliant 'war strategist'- is out of office to see what she has to say about the WOT. Cripes- Don't trust the commanders- but wait for someone FAR removed from the action to obliviate hteir biased opinion instead- BRILLIANT!

Protest Paralyses Beirut
Thousands of supporters of Lebanon's Hizbollah-led opposition party have brought parts of Beirut to a standstill.
It is the second day of a campaign to topple the country's government.
Scores of tents sprung up overnight as protesters occupied parking lots, squares and streets.
Restaurants and cafes, usually packed with people on weekends, were shut. Many banks also stayed closed.
Hundreds of thousands of opposition supporters rallied on Friday to demand the resignation of the Western-backed government.
But Prime Minister Fouad Siniora insisted his regime would not be toppled through demonstrations.
I think you added that in part in, Barry.
They are members of the community like a home invasion robber is a member of the family.

But it does raise a question: if the anti-immigrant crowd in the states is successful with their wall-building and illegal crackdown, what effect will that have on Mexican politics? Maybe without the pressure valve of emigration to the states, the leftists could take power in Mexico.

One year an ice/snow storm was predicted for Austin, mid-afternoon of the work week. I couldn't leave early, and was working 13 (yes, 13) floors above downtown, so I could watch the streets fill with panicked workers hastening to get home. This is no small thing in Austin, actually, as the Hill Country just outside town can turn into a roller coaster cum skating rink in an ice storm. I figured from the traffic and the impending storm I'd get home (not that far away) around midnight.
The traffic jam was horrendous as the storm came in. By quitting time, it had cleared. And all the cars that hit the road in such fear, had heated the pavement (which needed little encouragement, but the traffic was just enough) to melt the ice. I had no trouble getting home at all. Many people, of course, took hours to get home; because of the traffic, not the ice.
So it goes in the winter in Texas.
Leftists won't take power in Mexico. Unless Marcos runs.

You can forget that fence. I'm telling ya, it is not going to happen.

Quite funny, and also sad.
The same could be said about the entirely corrupt GOP corporatist globalist agenda.
What has happened to America is nothing less than a conspiracy: they deliberately suppressed clean energy for decades in order to create their petrochemical/nuclear/delivery chokehold, dumbed-down education for decades, then plastered Lewinski 24/7/365 all over everything for 4 fucking years, then sprang Bushwhack on the voters, and even then had to steal over 1/2 a million votes via the despicably undemocratic Diebold in order to perpetrate these last 6 solid years of unrelenting crime against their own country and all of humanity. We fucking tried and tried to warn everyone about Bush, but the Monica was just too overwhelming for the bamboozled peabrains. Now, after all this, and after dozens of them turn out to be pedophiles, embezzlers, etc etc etc, what are they doing? Wasting what miniscule national integrity is left yammering at the top of their lungs about gay fucking marriage and removing every last tax on the wealthiest, while doing their damndest to sneak through ex post facto amnesty for their entirely unconstitutional wiretapping of everything and permission to turn the Gulf of Mexico into Prince William Sound as they tiptoe out the door to let us pay the tab, clean up the mess, and rebuild, so they can return refreshed and ready to do it all over again in 20 years when there's something available to steal again. These people are disgraceful pathetic unamerican criminals, period.

You'll notice the screamers about the border either (A) don't come from that region (in the case of US Representatives) or (B) don't come from "border states" (in the case of Senators).
You're exactly right. Those areas are happily bilingual, happily multicultural, and don't understand what the problem is. Actually, the biggest problem on the border is drug smuggling (see Cormac McCarthy's No Country For Old Men), which is mostly in transit to those states where the politicians are all upset about: illegal aliens.

Little Brother - that's the thing - she does catch lots of little beasties - but she never tries to bring them inside. In fact, unlike any other cat I've ever had, she doesn't even yowl for me to come look at them. She just deposits them in front of the doors I use most often....sometimes whole, sometimes in part. About a month back I found the back half of a chipmunk on the back porch - with its backbone sticking out of the remaining portion, it looked like some kind of kitty lollipop. I couldn't figure out why sometimes she deconstructs the rodents and sometimes she doesnt, until a friend of mine said, "the ones she hasn't nibbled on are the ones she brought home for you."
Jesus is the judge of us all.

And that's one of their more coherent moments. Radiohead are elitist snobs from the British equivalent of the ivy league who figured out how to get rich off of young people. They didn't do this by grinding young people up in a war while investing in profiteering, but that hardly vindicates them.
Ahem. I have Ralph Yarborough's foyer light in my foyer. It's very nice.

Dr BSC, I have supplicated myself, and explained.
I was wrong. (something you'll never see Annie or Dubya say)
I made a mistake about Yarborough.
who figured out how to get rich off of young people
Isn't that kind of... the entire history of modern music?
I was wrong thinking I could make you see how you're puppets. I admit it. You enjoy it too much.
Now DANCE!
Barry, I think our moppet here has a crush on you. Heehee.

Barry's been talking about me all day! He must be one of the non-gay guys around here.

The exceptions are when the guys deserved to get rich (many of whom often did not: the recording industry made tons off of obscure bluesmen who died in poverty because the industry was only ostensibly looking for them and got to keep all the royalties that their artists didn't know about).
Free airline tickets? So I can fly standby and wait around for hours?
No thanks, done it before. It sucks.

No, we had pizza.

Not necessarily. Some forms, like powerpop are always kind of around, more and less underground, but forming a real musical community.
what do you call an elitist who rails against elitism?
Evidently Sen. Yarborough's house in Texas at some point was remodelled or updated or whatever, and the fellow who did it ended up with a lovely assortment of old fixtures and stuff - which he sold on Ebay. Extremely nice little brass and etched glass hanging fixture, just right for my foyer. Makes me rather pleased to have it as well. I liked Sen. Yarborough and admired him.

That'd work for hillbilly gravy? y'think?

Absolutely. And it's a lot easier to carry home.

I knew you had good taste. By the way, was it the family home in Chandler or his home in Austin on Jarrett Ave? his wife died in 2002, at 99, when that would have gone on the market I suppose.
Why Nickelback Sucks
barbecuesteve
Nickelback generates the same sort of vibe for me as Bryan Adams. Both produce bland, generic rock. Your link just confirms the feeling I've had about them.
If music stores had a section for "no name" products, that's where their stuff would be stocked.
Sorry, RUth, don't know. I had the impression it was more a summer place than otherwise, if that makes a choice.
Be all of this as it may, the single basic fact still remains, and will always remain, that our American Constitution provides that we the people are to control the military and not the other fucking way around.
=*=
Truth
The OFFICERS used to drive that point home in our monthly,mandatory,
Geneva Convention classes,so I wouldn't worry about...
Oh, wait...Nevermind!
Man, this is a tough crowd!
I think it started with that crappy band called the Gin Blossoms that were popular during the grunge days. Its that sappy pseudo Eagles sweet love song crap that makes my ears bleed.
Oh, and aren't Nickleback Canadian?
I had some radio survey call me. They played me ten to fifteen second clips of 20 or 25 songs, and I was supposed to say how I felt about the song. It was amazing how similar they all sounded. First, I thought nearly every song they played was Nickelback. Second, I kept thinking "didn't you already play that?"
But I think it was really three or four bands that just have a lot of songs out there that sound really similar.
eh....
I can see the appeal...the sappy emotional rock n roll ballad. But its very uninteresting and I would never put it in my CD or MP3 player.
Nickleback will be forgotten. Its best not to think about it.
Try www.hethandjed.com for interesting music. Check out Christmas (sweeter than wine).
Dude. It's Stone Temple Pilots all over again.
Nickelback is the new Candlebox. The same amount of suck you know and love, only now with more whine!
Hey, at least it wasn't Staind. Now there is a craptacular band who want to sound heavy but with the worst weeniewuss lyrics ever. Ev. Er.
To each his own.
As far as musical tastes are concerned, people have the right to like what they want.
I'd rather listen to Nickelback than rap.
I never got punk, either. The Sex Pistols were awful!
As Jello Biafra put it in his majestic parody of grunge, Buy My Snake Oil: "Oh-whoah-whoah, poor pitiful me/Born white in the world's richest country/I can't have my way/Life just don't impress me/Nothing's as important as me/And my girl..."
It could be worse. You could be forced to do step aerobics to a Brittney Spears CD for an hour yesterday. (As if the step class wasn't torture itself)
Here are a list of "singers" whose body of work should never be put on a workout CD:
Madonna
Cher
Christine Aguilerra
Anyone named Brittney
George Michael
Ricky Martin
I swear, when the instructor starts the music of one of these fiends, I get instantly nauseous. It takes sheer willpower to get through the class. I'm not kidding, this music makes me almost want to remain fat. (I'm not fat, just streching the seams a bit) Why instructors seem to prefer this tripe to the other perfectly good workout CDs that are on the market is beyond me but I am sick to death of hearing "Ooops, I did it again", "When the money's gone" and "Somebody tell me" and if one more instructor plays that stupid Celebrate song by Madonna I am going to hurl a step at them.
UGH!
Nickleback's music is as boring as sex with Ann Althouse.
I think it started with that crappy band called the Gin Blossoms that were popular during the grunge days. Its that sappy pseudo Eagles sweet love song crap that makes my ears bleed.
The Gin Blossoms were not grunge. Not even close. The Gin Blossoms were trying for a sort of Guns and Roses sleaze, but they failed completely and just produced boring radio suckage instead.
The song is irrelevant.
THe video is the worst thing I've seen.
Fire fighters in Structure turnouts for a wildland fire.
A structure hose used in the forest..
Dudes running around in the flames, leaving a guy behind, Shitty plot, fasle drama.
The only good thing is the guy wasnt a soldier being called for IRaaq duty.
And he shoulda stayed dead.
The radio has been crap for as long as I can remember -- interrupted for about a year in about 1990 by the then-new "alternative" format.
Now, there is no rock band but The Fall.
I'm a Canadian and I hate this fucking band so much--please, guys, don't think it's all like this up here. These guys are like the ragged, pretentious creeps who make up the band Jack Black has to quit at the beginning of School of Rock: strictly battle-of-the-bands, guitar-heroes-in-their-own-minds only.
dude - u just criticized the bryan adams of the 21st century. cannucks are gonna be bent.
of course, nickleback was good before they blew up.
What the hell is this crap?
It's called schmaltz, little Mister. Schmaltz.
Got a problem with that?
You know, Duncan, growing up in the 80's, you can't complain too much. All generations have their crap, and I'll take now over then.
Hee . . . must be a slow news day.
I sat through the entire video thinking there would be something offensive or bizarre in it. Not one right wing political smear, no neanderthal messages demeaning young men, no skanky whorish images to demean young women. No one declaring the glories of narcisissim and gluttony, no one advocating drunkeness and debauchery as the only natural source of entertainment.
The guys seem to be working hard at their music, however mundane and unoriginal it might be. They're earning a paycheck.
I can't believe you wasted 700 messages on a mediocre pop song put out by someone who obviously doesn't give a damn what you think about their music. If they aren't playing for you and you aren't ever going to buy their records, why waste time hating them? No one is going to make you hire them to play at your wedding.
Well, I'll just go put on some Diane Arkenstone and relax before dinner. Mellow out, people!
That's not fair to blame this on Canada.
The Canadian government has apologized for Nickelback on numerous occasions.
What?! Same old rockish-country crap that's been spoon-fed to the bored masses for several years now. Sucks...thekeez
berken responded...
I don't care what generation you're from, the SUCKIEST songs in the world are both "hits" right now:
"You're beautiful" by John Whinyass and
"Waiting on the world to change" by his fatter stupider lamer clone.
Damn, with so many worthy musical targets out there, all you haters direct your energy toward this innocuous little song? Talk about using a bazooka to kill a mosquito.
Hey, it's formula popular romantic music. Pearl Jam meets Goo Goo Dolls meet secretly in Nashville. It's comfortable.
I liked the much better when I thought they were called nickelbag...
Here in LA... seeing a lot of kids nowadays with LedZep, AC/DC shirts, old guns n' roses shirts, etc... Maybe it's just a retro fashion thing, but maybe a real rock band will come along and blow all the crap out of the water again someday. I think the hunger for it is there.
That song isn't nearly as annoying as the video for it. Seriously, a forest fire? WTF? And I think we're overdue for a revival of Beavis & Butthead. Put it on Adult Swim.
I liked it. I guess its what my nephew disdainfully calls EMO.
I like a lot of stuff though. I like Wagner's Ring, the Dead Boys, Funkadelic, and Lester Young.
ON THE OTHER HAND I wouldn't buy or borrow a Nikelback album.
P.S. My son only listens to a radio station that plays the top 20 of the top 40 of Hip Hop, over and over and over again, so I can really use a break.
What I cant take are songs that have lyrics like "cuts like a knife" describing an emotion, lyrics that were stale before they were ever uttered.
Simple I can handle.
Oh jeez, what an awful video. At least he didn't actually die and then come back as a guardian fire-angel.
Really, though, is this any cheesier than -- say -- "November Rain?" Pop music has ALWAYS been cheesy. Go back to the '40s and you'll find plenty of embarassing stuff.

What the hell is this crap?
You know...I feel the same way about two-thirds of the music you speak adoringly of in here. I'd rather listen to cats fighting then most of it. I'd rather listen to a jackhammer symphony then most of it. I'd rather listen to a fifty car pile-up on the JFX then most of it. But I don't usually feel compelled to say anything about it. If it makes you happy, or anyone else in here happy...fine. There's little enough of that in this poor world.
I don't know if Nickelback ever made anything else worth listening to, and I don't care. I like that song. It speaks to me. If it doesn't speak to you, then turn the fucking dial.
The success of Nickelback is easy to explain. The singer has a nice voice and that is all a lot of people seem to hear when they listen to music.
But there is a lot of good rock being made. For those who want to hear it I'd suggest System of a Down, Foo Fighters, Audioslave, and the Red Hot Chili Peppers(or anything else John Frusciante plays guitar on).
Has there actually ever been such a beast..........documented in a peer reviewed publication..............and don't give me bigfoot as an example.................and K-Fed don't count either.
yes -- and his name is Ja Rule
