the original and best punk rock band. Formed in New York City in 1974, when rock'n'roll and pop was full of depressing shit (this was after the Beatles broke up), the Ramones wanted to bring the excitement back to rock'n'roll music. And they did! Oh yeah! Rock'n'roll was revitalized and fun again and would be until the mid 90s. I saw this band 4 times before they broke up in 1996. They ALWAYS played different setlists and they always delivered first-rate rock'n'roll. Today's poser punk bands do not measure up to these guys. LONG LIVE THE RAMONES!
Check out their anthology "Hey! Ho! Let's Go!" and their live album "Loco Live". This is the first band to be officially labeled as "punk", and they're still better than the rest (although there have been many other great punk bands since the Ramones, too!). .

Get the Ramones mug.1. Utter corporate shit that the men in suits push on the public in order to dumb down the populace. It is manufactured to the max by some "songwriters" in Europe who think music can be put together like Lego sets - I could write better lyrics and music than what's on these "songs" when I am STONED. Pop music acts concentrate more on their looks, sexuality and choreographed dance moves. ALL of those teenybopper pop acts suck out the unwashed ass. The fucking Spice Girls started this trend of trash about 10 years ago and the public have been sheep ever since. We need a punk-like rock and roll movement to bring music back to the people.
2. A chart-topping new wave hit for M in late 1979.

1. Quit playing that Britney Spears crap! She can't sing. Here. Play this U2 CD instead. U2 rocks. That Britney Speares CD ain't good for nothing except for use as a frisbee, and then you should fling it in the fucking trash can.

Get the pop music mug.1. a classic science fiction novel written by British writer George Orwell (real name Eric Arthur Blair) that was written as a warning of how governments can manipulate every aspect of citizens' lives (including the media) to brainwash them into becoming loyal complacent citizens (sheep) and use created situations as an excuse to deprive the populace of their freedoms and civil liberties and human rights. It was written in 1948, so Orwell was using the recent war and the totalitarian fascist and communist regimes that were defeated, as well as said type regimes that would soon be established. This book should be required reading in school, in order that the shit that has occurred since the end of the Cold War at the end of the 80s won't be happening again. History doesn't have to keep repeating itself.
2. adjective to describe something as "totalitarian", "sieg heil" or "Big Brother" or "Orwellian".
3. a hit album by Van Halen. Kept from the #1 album position by Michael Jackson's "Thriller" in early 1984.
4. a song by David Bowie that appeared on his 1974 album.

2. that TV news broadcast is so 1984!
3. "Jump", "I'll Wait", "Panama" and "Hot for Teacher" are the hits from Van Halen's 1984 album.

Get the 1984 mug.the Jagger Swagger is the confident, cocky, attitude - stoked air and persona that Mick Jagger emits when he struts his butt on the walkway and flicks his hands in the air. Then he shakes his toosh out for the pleasure of the audience. He does this several times during a Rolling Stones concert. He oozes of the feel of rebellious air and sneering 'tude. Of course he adds to it by snarling most of his vocals. All these qualities have led some critics to label it all being conceited, but these traits have made Mick a major influence and inspiration to countless rock-n-rollers.
Michael Hutchence ("Hutch") of INXS certainly has the Jagger Swagger. He's often compared to Jim Morrison of the Doors but his voice has some Jaggeresque inflections and he shows some Mick Jagger influence in his aura and performing style as well. I never got to see INXS live in concert (unfortunately) but I have seen them on TV and Michael clearly had been studying some of Mick's stage antics, style and attitude. Of course, even though INXS is often classified as a "New Wave" band, there's a strong Stonesy element in their rock-n-roll. I have seen the Stones live in concert and the powerful imprints that they have made on many, many bands (including INXS) was very apparent that night in sound and live image (the Jagger Swagger and many other influences). Michael, we miss you and we need you more now than ever. RIP dude.

Get the Jagger Swagger mug.a follower of the religion of Islam. They worship God and follow the Ten Commandments just like Christians and Jews do. It's just another religion: you got your true practioners and believers, and you got your hypocritefanatics who are always trying to spoil the party. True Islam is not what you see on TV. Terrorism is against the teachings of the faith.
I knew a few Muslim women in college and they did not wear flowing robes or burquas or any of that stereotypical getup. I've talked to some Muslim men there too and there was none of that "kill the infidels" shit. I also once went to a mosque in northern Ohio and talked to some of the parishioners. They were decent, ordinary, American people. They spoke respect and admiration for Christianity and Judaism, the other two major "God" faiths. They were very nice to me, and I was never scared.

Get the Muslim mug.1. In the United Kingdom, it's slang word for "speed freak".
2. In the United States, it's a slang word used to describe someone who likes to tinker on automobile engines, a car engine enthusiast.
3. The first speed metal/thrash band, formed in England in 1975. They were the first band to combine heavy metal with the attitude and speedy velocity of punk rock. They sound a lot like Chuck Berry at warp speed.

1. Larry from Glouchester pops speed tablets 3 times a day. He is what the Brits call a "motorhead".
2. I read an article in the Columbus Dispatch newspaper one time that detailed people in Japan who like to fix up and tinker on the engines of American model cars. They were referred to as Japanese motorheads.
3. Motorhead puts on a very entertaining show, but because I saw them in a club they gave the LOUDEST show I've ever been to. After the show I got a bass pick used by Lemmy Kilmeister. You had to shout and scream in order to have a conversation as we all left the club. I had a ringing in ears that lasted for 3 days. Still, the gig was excellent. When it comes to speed metal, these guys did it first. They should be inducted into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame.

Get the Motorhead mug.A Japanese punk lady trio, hailing from Osaka, Japan. They formed in 1981 and they play power-pop-punk rock music inspired by the Ramones, Beach Boys, 60s 'girl groups' (singing trios) and Japanese pop. Unlike most punk bands they generally write about more 'positive' topics, esp. food, good times and occasionally sci-fi. They don't push a sexual image but they do have a 'cutesy-wutsey' kawaii image, and they often draw in the cosplay crowd but make no mistake - those women are punk rockers, and they can kick out the jams - HARD. Some critics label this band under the category of 'cuddlecore'.
1. I've seen and met Shonen Knife five times. They always put on an exciting electrifying set. They're very fan friendly, after a show they'll talk with you, pose for selfies, sign anything.
2. Their audience is expanding beyond generations. The last 2 times I saw them they were playing full houses to audiences that had adults in their 40s and 50s.
3. Play a Shonen Knife CD in your car and it'll take you outta your doldrums in no time.
4. Shonen Knife is simply a FUN band to hear and see. What's wrong with just plain fun? When they come to your town to play, check them out.
