Haha, I heard it's a great game, I'm a nerd though. Life is shitty enough, I choose fantasy realms. How's your daughter?

hmmmmm....She's good enough to live? Not sure how to answer this because we've cured the illness' (Plural) to where they can't kill her and she can't give anyone else that cough. But I got the Cough and shit sucks first off, but it really will only go away with time and she just can't breathe at points in the day. Adult lungs are strong enough to weather the storm, but it hurts me when it acts up, I can only imagine her. I'm sure she still has pneumonia but only cuz she coughs so much and when she gasps the phlegm (weirdest spelling of any single word) is sucked back in the lungs.



Life goes on, and that's the ticket so...

Is this the real life?
Is this just fantasy?
Caught in a landslide,
no escape from reality.
Open your eyes,
look up to the skies and see.

I'm just a poor boy, I need no sympathy.

Because I'm easy come, easy go,
a little high, little low ...

Anyway the wind blows,
doesn't really matter to me,
to me!

Jazzy Belle is the best song OutKast ever made. Or at least the best completely 'rap' song they ever made. Some of their concept songs have an argument.

I don't think Stankonia is all that great. Very good, the singles are awesome, but I'd take Southernplaya, ATLiens, and Aquemini over it every day.

[oats]

Freddie Mercury is easily the greatest frontman of all time imo. can't ask for a greater all-around talent

[Certain]

I listened to Southernplayalisticadillacmuzik today, actually. It's by far the most conservative OutKast album, which wouldn't be a big deal except that Big Boi was significantly worse than Dre at that time. Big Boi never actually has been as good as Andre 3000, but back then, the gap was much wider.

And "Jazzy Belle" wouldn't even rank in my top three songs on ATLiens. I love the title track, "Elevators (Me & You)" and "Wheelz of Steel" most. But to each, his own.

[dead man]

yes @ jazzy belle. house and doctor were the games we used to play.....

im not the biggest outkast fan but that is one of my top 10 songs of all times.

wut?

wuuuuutt?

andre's first few lines alone. fuck. not to mention the short build up to those lines. god damn.

And Mainstream and 13th Floor are the only responsible checks to the Jazzy Belle move.

Certain it's like I don't even know you anymore.

Actually, "Babylon" might be the best song on the album lyrically.

I came into this world high as a bird
From second hand cocaine powder
I know it sounds absurd
I never tooted but its in my veins
While the rest of the country bungies off bridges
Without no snap back
And bitches they say they need that
To shake they fannies in the ass clubs
They go the other route
Turn each other out
Burn each other out
Where a bona fide nigga like me
Can't even get no back rub these days
Ain't that bleak on they part
But let me hold it down, cause they shut you down
When you speak from your heart
Now that's hard
While we ranting and raving bout gats
Nigga, they made them gats
They got some shit that'll blow out our backs
From where they stay at

I'm fascinated by the way yo
Nipples peak at me through yo blouse
Freaky me, freaky you
Can't help but be aroused
'Scuse me, Lord lustful thinking
But that's the way we was brought up
Sneaking to watch Playboy at night
We all must be caught up in worldly ways
Chemistry between boys and girls
Is a lot like when we went to the woods
And laid with the squirrels
During P.E., we'd be
Exploring each others privates
Hunching with all our clothes on
Until we felt excited then, aaaah
Oh now its on from here on out
Put yo hands in the atmosphere
If you know what I'm talking bout
Now if too harsh then walk on out
And I'll see you on the next song
They call it horny
Because its devilish
Now see we dead wrong

[PancakeBrah]

Certain you're the Zygote of musical tastes.

I can't deal with this right now.

Jazzy Belle has this intangible quality. A real soul, as much as I hate to use that term.

ATLiens was that album for me, though. I can't be argued off it.

[Certain]

I see a really strong parallel between OutKast and Radiohead, probably my favorite groups of their era.

Pablo Honey : Southernplayalisticadillacmuzik
The album that started it all but sounds a bit unadventurous, sloppy and unrefined in retrospect and mostly is remembered for one huge hit that some fans of the group deride.

The Bends : ATLiens
A pretty much perfect album end to end that definitely foreshadowed the risks coming without actually diving headfirst into them.

OK Computer : Aquemini
Everything gets thrown out onto the table, and even though it's not as perfect and polished as the previous one, the exploration makes every note fascinating.

Kid A : Stankonia
The album that takes the previous one and furthers those steps all the way off the cliff, making for a fascinating but at times ungrounded listen.

Amnesiac : The Love Below
Everything that made the previous album so weird is pushed all the way to the fore, and the last remnants of the original sound are kicked out entirely.

Hail to the Thief : Speakerboxxx
A return of sorts to the 1990s core, with greater roots in established music while not at all skimping on the experimentation, but somewhat underrated because it no longer feels like genius.

[oats]

radiohead is the quintessential example of a band that was ruined for me by its fans.

[Adonis]

I like mine lumpy

[PancakeBrah]

Obviously those type of comparisons fall prey to the details. But the only real problem I have is Pablo=Southern. Pablo Honey isn't good. Creep is, very. But that may be revisionist. If Radiohead didn't find itself Creep may have become a very Save Tonight one-off. But that's beside the point. Southern is fucking great. Pablo is horribly uneven, possibly bad.

Also, Hail to the Chief=Speakerboxxx is off.

But I can see your point and as far as career arcs matching each other it's not that bad.

I kind of like the Hail to the Thief/Speakerboxxx comparison, but yes, Pablo Honey is very uneven and sloppy and sometimes shitty.

But there's a true hidden gem on it (though you have to get past the muddled first 20 seconds because it's Pablo Honey):



Of course, if they had that song on The Bends, it would have been cleaner and more inventive and better.

[PancakeBrah]

I'm particular to Hail to the Chief, honestly. Not including Amnesiac, I'd probably go
