Nice, is that the one that has kim saying "She comes by to get me high" and Cypress starts with "Look who's back in the program..."?

judgement night. what crap.

that movie sucked ass.

the soundtrack was better than the movie but damn.

the only reason that soundtrack went gold was because every metal head bought it for the anthrax/public enemy bring the noise

which to my dismay is actually LESS NOISY than the original!

I like the low numbers it means all the records are rare.... I wouldn't worry about SY financially they all got there chedda.

I was watching Richard Pryor live in concert for the 30th or so time yesterday and I fucking cracked up again when he mentioned the cops siccing a doberman on a black dude in an alley and th dude was "low-runnin'!"

I fucking love that low-runnin' joke!

Richard Pryor on Fire 01.18.2007 03:31 PM

haha Yeah that's a good one, everytime I watch that one I laugh without fail.

jennthebenn 01.18.2007 03:43 PM

this is the tracklisting for the judgment night soundtrack, which i listened
to twice, i think.
1. Just Another Victim - Helmet/House Of Pain
2. Fallin' - Teenage Fanclub/ De La Soul
3. Me, Myself & My Microphone - Living Colour,/Run D.M.C.
4. Judgment Night - Biohazard/Onyx
5. Disorder - Slayer/Ice-T
6. Another Body Murdered - Faith No More/Boo-Yaa T.R.I.B.E.
7. I Love You Mary Jane - Sonic Youth/Cypress Hill
8. Freak Momma - Mudhoney/Sir Mix-A-Lot
9. Missing Link - Dinosaur Jr./Del The Funky Homosapien
10. Come And Die - Therapy?/Fatal
11. Real Thing - Pearl Jam/Cypress Hill

the dino/del should have been world-ending. alas. the slayer/ice-t collabo
was the best thing on there.

Dinosaur and Del's song was pretty cool too

A... million? SY? HAHAHA!

It is kind of weird to think that they are still rather obscure despite also being a household name. There must still be big chunks of the world where you can go for miles without ever seeing a SY record. Here in the NW, it'd be easy to believe they sold a lot more as most people I meet sure seem to have a least half of their albums.

timtimtim 01.23.2007 12:57 AM

all i could find that hasn't been previously said is that rather ripped debuted at 71 on the charts and it appears that they have no gold albums.

I wouldn't be so sure. I read recently that they can no longer afford to take their own PA on tour with them and have to hire locally.

timtimtim 01.26.2007 03:29 PM

Most bands don't tour with their own PA though because usually venues have their own PA

SuchFriendsAreDangerous 01.26.2007 05:23 PM

these numbers seem to be at least half of the actuals,

You think they've sold a million of "Rather Ripped" ? Not sure...

amyvega 01.26.2007 10:19 PM

ejstns was pretty heavily marketed, i think. i'm surprised washing machine didn't sell more.

but, those numbers look right.

yea but in sonic youth's case its just part of their sound so if thats true
than its a shame really!

pantophobia 01.26.2007 11:57 PM

if i remember correctly, they haven't been traveling with a PA since 02, maybe even since 2000

Derek 01.27.2007 10:22 AM

Shame that Experimental Jet Set Trash & No Star sold so much. I don't like that album.

Grodey 01.27.2007 10:32 AM

I'm surprised that Confusion is Sex even sold that much. Not that I don't like it, it just seems kind of high for that type of album.
