How's the music career going Dave?

Funnily enough, this is JUST how I imagined he'd look.

He's even in the dictionary for the love of God ! (NB there are some rude words in his definition. Not surprisingly to those of us who know him.)

Can it get any more awesome I ask?

I've even seen it here before that iirc. It's also on a list of worst album covers ever.

[English assassin]

Oops, Well it was new to me, anyway.

[Ser Clegane]

Actually that cover which was shown in a thread about bad album covers quite a while ago was the very reason why "daveinkorea" became "Devastatin' Dave"

[English assassin]

Alright alright, so I wasn't paying attention and now everyone knows...lock teh thread already, and lets forget all about it shall we.

[InsaneApache]

No. You will have to pay attention in future.

[Kralizec]

No not teh lock

Let's have our own cover contest. How about:



I have to say Gunthers moustache pwns Devdave. Sure Dave is "deliciously ribbed and lubed" but that's not apparent from the cover.

[Watchman]

...is that the "You Touch My Tralala" Günther...?

I've said it before, and I'll say it again:

Ooooh, I found a review ...

Songs from the Crystal Cave

After seeing Out For Justice when I was seven, I was scared of the dark, the spooky woods out back of my house and Steven Seagal. I was petrified of Seagal because he seemed to be able to kill people just by looking, or in his case squinting, at them. Of course it didn't help that my older brother kept telling me that Seagal lurked in the woods, waiting for the day he could cruelly use his mysterious Japanese arts of silent assassination on one terrified little boy. The man was a demonic force that haunted all my childhood nightmares, like a latter day Michael Jackson. So, 16 years later, Steven Seagal releases an album entitled Songs from the Crystal Cave and, as part of my therapy, I volunteered to review it, thinking it couldn't be that bad, Seagal was just an actor and had nothing against me. I was wrong. Steven Seagal still hates me; he hates everyone with ears. Given the skill level of many of the musicians involved - including surprisingly enough Seagal himself - the album has some genuinely impressive moments, with one or two pretty nice laid-back soul tunes at the beginning. But later, the music began to scare the living daylights out of me because it was so bad, it was positively evil. Pseudo-political tracks like the reggaetastic War, his absolutely tragic attempts to bastardise world music in Not For Sale or his embarrassing chatter over Jealousy have lyrics that are the worst kind of political celebrity cheese. They're so bad that they make you forget why it is you listen to music at all. They're the musical equivalent of rotten milk. GodÖ I'm so dead. Rory McGrath

Best review I've ever read, thanks for posting!

[Csargo]

Well that made me laugh.

[Lemur]

Right back atcha ...

[Watchman]

Approved, the lot of them.

[drone]

Is it just me, or does that guy look like Mike Myers?

[Lemur]

All of my Google powers are failing me, for I cannot get any hard info about Mike Crain, the Karatist Preacher. Oh well. At least I found this:

Yep, starting that thread was probly my greatest contribution to Org culture! I tried searching for it, but I think its lost in the unsearchable depths of the Tavern- its certainly pre frontroom.

Beatles-influenced (wait 'till Gawain sees this).

You're welcome, Sal. Although the album cover came first, and only then I got that "I's got to know" feeling.

Woah, wait, since when was THAT a reason not to raise a topic in the backroom?

[doc_bean]
