 Holy Guacamole.

 Is this as far down the rabbit hole the red album will go? Perhaps not based on this review of another track:

Quote
Heart Songs

OK, ‘Heart Songs’ catalogues all of Rivers’ ’songs’, his favourites. Kind of like ‘American Pie’. Cat Stevens, Joan Baez. Lennon. Springsteen. Quiet Riot. Maiden. Judas Priest. Betty Gibson. Jacko. Fresh Prince. “put a record on, had a baby on it, he was naked on it, then i heard the chords’ - Nevermind! ow he’s singing about recording Blue Album. Very crazy.

 Yeesh.

"Hoo Hoo!"

Typical egomaniacal crapola from Rivers (as I write this I'm picturing Spike referring to him as puddles for some reason). That guy is a laundry list of creepy horrors—least of which is his music. He should be on the cover of the creepopedia.

Speaking of the Creepopedia, does anyone think that Tom should write this book? I'd totally buy it and I would think he has a pretty good head start on material.

First entry: Mickey Dolenz.

I'm not that familiar with Cuomo's non-Weezer work and habits, or anything about him personally other than the Harvard thing and the Pinkerton-era obsession with the cello-playing half-Japanese girl and the inappropriate crush on the underage Asian girl who wrote to him.

Ew boy.  You mean there's more?

Alternately, I think the Friends of Tom would be up to the task, given that FOTpedia is good and fucked and we haven't gotten our pedia on in some time.

that song is pretty funny too. it has smooth jazz sax in the background. and he mentions "never gonna give you up". it's a rickroll within a song!

I'd like to throw into the creepopedia the following types:

Anyone that has anything by Anne Geddes hanging on their walls (maternity clinics are excused I guess..)

Anyone with a gigantic horn thing sticking out of the middle part of their nostrils (I think it's called a pierced septum?)

People with a full head of thick hair that decide to stick with that paper-thin layer of wispy, perfectly-curled bangs.

I would propose that we just throw the Anne Geddes pictures themselves into the creepopedia, rather than the people who own them. I used to work in a nursing home and there were many kindly old ladies in residence who loved those.

But yes, the pictures are super creepy.

Yeah! You know what is way creepier? Rock music. For example, Whitesnake:

"slide it in" - so creepy! yuck. don't want to think about david coverdale's penis, no!

I just listened to this.  This is one of the worst pieces of crap ever written.  When people say that "so and so is completely self-indulgent on this record" they have no f-ing idea what they are talking about.  Not until they listen to this crap.

pets in costumes...i made the same comment this weekend.  no one else thought it was creepy, they thought it was cruel (term used loosely).




how about its both?!

i know, it breaks new ground for ridiculous.
i actually think it's kind of brilliant.
it's like that "most unwanted song" thing that WFMU has been playing for a while, and is on ubu.com somewhere. except it's not supposed to be a joke. unless it is. either way it's hilarious.

You should look at her book (does she have more than one? I'm not going to check). There's a cumulative creepiness to her work. It's really weird stuff. My wife and I were transfixed by her coffee table book in the library last weekend. We discussed borrowing it, and prominently displaying it in order to creep out houseguests.

Do you have a lot of houseguests you want to alienate, Bryan?
Title: Re: rivers cuomo creepopedia
Post by: Bryan on May 15, 2008, 08:17:04 PM
Hmm. That's a good question. To be honest, we probably have too few houseguests, if anything. Maybe it's because my instincts are to try to creep them out?

This turned into a "teachable moment."

If no one has added them, I'd like to add those folks that have scrotums hanging off the back of their trucks.  I am keeping a large scissor in my car to snip any I see in parking lots.  What the hell is up with those things anyway?

Those are EVERYWHERE up here...not so much in the small farming village where I live, but they're rampant in the next county. It's funny that you wrote that, totep, because my boyfriend and I were just discussing their potential inclusion in the creepopedia.

PS: Are they really that easy to remove from cars? Even the chrome ones?  (Ugh).

You want to talk about weird, I'm listening to the archive of Chris L's WFMU listener hour and I clicked on that yournutz site in another tab.  It took me about 3 minutes to realize that the creepy guy talking in the yournutz videos was not part of the music.
