Subby is douchenozzle. Whatsamatter, did Tom Waits personally urinate on all your Phil Collins albums?

Personally, don't think much of Westerburg, but Tom Waits is amazing. Subby can eat half a bowl of dicks.

calm like a bomb: Personally, don't think much of Westerburg, but Tom Waits is amazing. Subby can eat half a bowl of dicks.

Well I like Westerberg, so subby can eat the other half too. Plus I like Waits, so Subby can eat 1 and a half bowls. Just to get his recommended daily allowance on dicks.

So, what, you have to be a "Aging Hipster Post-Emo douchebago supremo" to think that sounds like a hell of a team up?

No, no, no, we can't have half a bowl going to waste. Subby? You're up to two bowls. Would you care for some ketchup?

Bad subby! Go to your time out chair!

Seriously man...Check out "Love Untold" by Paul Westerberg. Clever and kind of touching. And easily accesable even to the pablum masses.

And then go into your local CD retailer with a hammer and ask the emo kid behind the counter if he likes Tom Waits. The kid will reply "No, cause it's not all about me. My mommy didn't love me and my girlfriend got mad cause she caught me sucking on my boyfriend's dick and now..." You can hit him with a hammer at that point. See Tom Waits IS NOT farkING EMO! Tom Waits is a farking genius of the highest caliber. Oh and once you hit the kid with the hammer whack yourself a few times. Then you'll get the whole Tom Waits thing.

The Replacements broke up in, what, '89? '90? Emo is like, a mid to late '90s thing?

talented musicians > sad guitarists.

I'm pretty sure using the phrase "douchebago supremos" discredits anything you think for the rest of your life.

I'm an "Aging Hipster Post-Emo douchebago supremo" at 24? Crap! But I had so much time now!Time enough at last to..
/ Prefers Early Tom Waits but still likes the new stuff.

Emo is teh ghey!


/got nuthin

//still love Westerberg

///Tom Waits is cool too

Just wondering....anybody else think occasionally Farkmod greenlights a headline like this just for the sheer fun of watching some idiot who has no idea what he is talking about get beat up on?

I don't know about that Tom Waits guy. I hear that his piano has been drinking.

Are they letting Britney Spears post again?

Yeah "Sorry Ma" is real emo, dipshiat.
Bad subby, bad. The stove is HOT. Do not touch.

yeah, but did you hear the light-man's blind in one eye, and the piano tuner has a hearing aid and showed up with his mother?

I'm not ashamed to admit ... This aging hipster post-emo douchebago supremo just had his testes implode from the force of the Level 14 indiegasm from this news.

/I can has Les Claypool on bass?

Hey, subby, you're a creme-puff casper, milktoast. Go fark yourself.

Love this headline. Good job, subby. Way to act like supreme douchebags, commenters.

I much preferred Tom Waits's collaboration with William S. Burroughs.

Tom Waits is NOT emo. Tom's been doing music since, what, the '60s or so? Not emo.

how about some nice white mayonaise and maybe so vinegar too?

Why all the Westy hate around here these days?

Paul Westerburg teams up with Tom Waits.

it's spelled "Westerberg".

Fail subby, Fail.

You can jibber-jabber all you like. But if you don't own Small Change by Tom Waits or Tim by The Replacements, then something is wrong with your head. Something serious.

That goes for all of you.

On a sadder Replacements-related note, drummer Steve Foley died last weekend at his Minneapolis home, according to Westerberg's website.

Hah, Imagine that: A Replacement has been replaced.

Hallospac3boy: Paul Westerburg teams up with Tom Waits.

Fail subby, Fail.

Thank you. That's what I stopped in for. Now that I'm here, "post-emo"?? Get your farking head examined, bro. Maybe "pre-emo"... Why so obsessed with emo?

For those of you freaking out about that EMO word: The headline mentions Aging Hipster POST-Emo douchebago supremos. The headline is a generalization and a joke and those of you getting hung up on it are missing the point.

I think that only 5-10% of people who like Tom Waits are not super-serious, pretentious dickholes. Way to reinforce the stereotype, guys.

Mr_Fabulous:

if you don't own Small Change by Tom Waits or Tim by The Replacements, then something is wrong with your head. Something serious.

1. IMO the best Waits albums are from Swordfishtrobones onward, with Bone Machine the best of the lot.
2. Not into indie pop-rock.
3. No idea what "emo" has to do with this news item.

Dude you just described two thirds of the greenlights here.

Right farking on

So are we all on board with this subby fails at making a headline thing? Cause I will board that train(song).

/caught Mr. Waits in Columbus, it was more awesome than I could have dreamed.

And the other 3rd are inept, poorly-executed attempts at humor, with a healthy dose of typos, run-on sentences and bad punctuations


OH, and don't forget the repeats. Lots and lots of repeats

Hallospac3boy: Emo is teh ghey!

Really?

I always knew he was quirky, but you think he's gay, too?

I did some checking. He was married (to Judy Tenuta) and seems to have a girlfriend currently.

so, no, I don't think "Emo is teh ghey".

I just looked it up. His first album was Closing Time (good album!) in 1973. He was, however, playing in bands since 1965. So we're kinda both almost right.

just here to say that headline made me spray spittle all over my monitor.
Subby, you don't owe me a new one, but it does have little rainbow droplets all over it.

Not sure where that headline leaves submitter, but I'm glad I don't live there.

Let it Be is not emo. Neither was Tim.
