Not many jokes around today – used to be you couldn’t move for them…
I’ve noticed a distinct lack of political comments, discussions, debates, accusations, arguments and fights over recent months. Very little happening on the “-ist! -ism! -phobic! -phobia!” front.
You sir, are an April Fool …
Yes, and I’ll tell you another thing I’ve noticed: male “mediums” (as in bonkers “spiritualists” who claim to contact the dead for dosh) are nearly all very camp. Why is that, I wonder? Can’t be just a coincidence.
It’s like you are a savant who wanders in here, talks sense, talks nonsense, praises Pink Floyd and yet somehow, mysteriously, gains our respect and, dare I say, love.
Speak for yourself pal
Don’t listen to him, Lodes. You keep on speaking for the masses, the spokesman for your generation.
Oooh wonderful, have they remastered that fifteen minutes of fridge noises?
I bought this album at the time and it is a big load of pretentious shit and I will never trust the opinions of anyone who defends it.
Peace and love etc
The “fridge noises” will be over 6LPs, various remixes.
It’s actually a brilliant album, but I have the worst taste here.
And I think it sounds terrible, nothing at all like The Nightfly, which is the pinnacle of recording achievement. But I know nothing about audio.
Have to say this Wilco thingie is the only April Fool joke I have laughed at today
Like all good April fools’ gags, it’s funny because you could actually see it happening
Actually, there was a very good joke about Taylor Swift releasing her version of Workingman’s Dead album. This would be awesome, truth be told.
And releasing her entire catalogue on SACD
The only April fool’s joke I saw was on the bus on my way home from work late last night.
The information screens in the bus were showing a long message over at least six screens, illustrated with a cartoon dog with a glove in its mouth. The message from the dog was written in that annoying internet dog speech that for some reason is very popular; “doge”, “hoomans” etc, all delivered with bad, supposedly dog-, grammar.
The message was about a new service for finding lost items of clothing, the “doge” was a “Glove Retriever” and could be found on Instagram – but the final and absolute giveaway was when it said to look it up “tomorrow, after April 1st”…(the word tomorrow alone would have been enough to give it away, but less obvious)
Thank Dog it was a hoax, it would drive me nuts to have to read messages from that “doge” every time I used a bus (which is several times a day)!
