I'm still ONLY built for Cuban linx, and I'm already on my third Blueprint, my how time flies. (side note, please everybody stop saying Gray-Z. Everyone knows Grandpa Carter is the best "Jay-Z is old" nickname)
Sept. 9, 1978 AD:
"Beast of Burden" is released and, years later, would go on to provide sugary goodness in my ears and make me think that true love is a dude chasing me down the street and pleading with me to have sex with him. Beatles and Led Zep over the Stones ALL DAY, but I'd just be recalcitrant if I didn't admit they have some great ones. The Glimmer Twins was the name of Mick and Keith as a producing duo; such a dumb name, let's be honest. They were great, though, really great. Especially here.
OK, "Beatles and Led Zep over the Stones ALL DAY" - Thx. RS are overrated. They have an album's worth of top notch singles from the sixties, but many of the allegedly great songs from that period (I'm looking at you Paint It Black, Mama's Little Helper, Street Fighting Man, Under My Thumb, God I could go on) are way overrated. Living up to the hype are Satisfaction, You Can't Always Get What You Want, Sympathy For the Devil, Wild Horses, Brown Sugar and that one song from "Satanic Majesties" that I can never remember. And Jumping Jack Flash is a finalist for best song of the decade.
"Exile On Main Street" is pure classic from start to finish, sides 2 and 3 are flawless. Only a great but smacked out artist could come up with something like "I don't want to talk about Jesus, I just want to see his face." It was written and released in 1971 but through a tear in the space-time continuum didn't show up until a year later.
They followed up Exile with "Goat's Head Soup". That's all the proof you need of their erratic quality.
"Some Girls" was a 1-album renaissance. They appeared dead for a while before it but came up aces on that one. Go figure. "Waiting on a Friend" remains a guilty pleasure.
eadpiece747, I listened to "Ill Figures" a few weeks ago and it didn't do anything for me. Did That by Something Good did, however.
"Pop archivists might be intrigued by this strange parallel between the Beatles and the Stones catalogue—it often seems as if every interesting thing The Rolling Stones ever did was directly preceded by something the Beatles had already accomplished, and it almost feels like the Stones completely stopped evolving once the Beatles broke up in 1970. But this, of course, is simply a coincidence."
Caramel complected/body like heaven (ummm no). Your favorite nerdy bikini-clad sarcasm peddler.
Tomboyish tendencies in a girly package.
Music nerd making my way in the world. The more emotion I put into it/the harder I rock.
I bow at the altar of Phil Spector, Rick Rubin, and Large Pro.
I find that I can amuse myself to no end. I got front & back, and side to side. I am a real person and NOT viral marketing for Stones Throw. I also have a government job so please don't tell too many people I'm in my bathing suit on the Internet.
Nothin else to tell, really.

I would't mind hearing what you think of the new Raekwon? Just got it and listening now.

Why Chuck Klosterman gets paid to write and I don't:
"Pop archivists might be intrigued by this strange parallel between the Beatles and the Stones catalogue—it often seems as if every interesting thing The Rolling Stones ever did was directly preceded by something the Beatles had already accomplished, and it almost feels like the Stones completely stopped evolving once the Beatles broke up in 1970.

And thanks for nothing OSU.
