we go an entire minute with no music… and then reciting foul language over an over with no real… substance? I really wasn't "waiting" for a new Faith No More track… and now I wish I could un-hear it.

Oh well.. Different strokes/folks I suppose.

So I take it you would not like to hear me sing Motherfucker (the UPS song). :)

on the contrary - I actively seek out new material. Share away!

I was hoping to be surprised… I wasn't.

Would that I could my friend. The original recording was stolen by a thief when they stole my laptop 15 years ago. And I don't really talk to the guy that wrote the music for it, nor do I play any instruments. One day I should get a mic and try to produce a rough facsimile.

Also it was a terrible song written by a 19 year old who lacks any semblance of talent (me!). The guy who did the music was pretty talented though. I should look him up. See if he ever released anything.

sorry about the laptop - but more than the hardware - I'm sorry you lost your stuff. That's the real crime.

I dug the song and I'm not a big fan of overt cursing in music. If you're going to do it, do it.

Seems to be a song about the ails and evils of the world and wanting to get whomever "created" it "on the phone."

It's a song about accountability. At least that was my take.

I dunno - I struggle to call it a "song". It has some beats, some rhythmic recitation of sentiments - but it seems to lack melody, harmony, or any significant instrumentation.. but then again - I quit listening after I think 2 minutes or so - maybe they cut loose with some actual music at some point.

I'm not even intending to be prudish about the language. It's fine when use to drive home a point - it just seems a little…. numbing I guess.

The melody for this song has been in my head all day. It certInly has instrumentation, those drums are awesome, cool bass and guitar. It is most certainly a song.

I stand corrected. There is, indeed a melody for two short bursts in there, and even instrumentation.

I've never been a fan of their stuff - I shouldn't be surprised that I don't love it. I think I clicked on this hoping that trying something new, I would find something new, something I would like. Bummed that I didn't.
