If you are not already, we would like to suggest you follow the hilarious Discographies twitter, wherein bands’ entire careers are summed up in 140 characters. It is always funny. Here’s a few of our favorites then, in the comments, anyone want to take a crack at a few on their own? Remember: 140 character max.
Disographies on….
The Rolling Stones: 1-4 arousal; 4-6 tumescence ; 7-10 full engorgement; 11-14 satyriasis; 15-19 midlife crisis; 20-22 erectile dysfunction.
The Clash: 1 thesis; 2 antithesis; 3 synthesis; 4 elephantiasis; 5 arteriosclerosis; 6 paralysis.
Smashing Pumpkins: 1-2 grandiose delusions; 3 Hubris!; 4-6 “Acquired Situational Narcissism” (cf. DSM-IV); 7 feelings of entitlement.
What say you?
it took me a moment to realize the numbers meant ALBUMS.
I’m a Pumpkins fan. Sounds about right. Definitely something to follow.

the Hold Steady: 1-rock, drugs, booze, youth 2-drugs, Catholicism 3-sex, rock, drugs, booze 4-sex, rock, drugs, murder 5-rock, drugs, aging
They’ve got Wire down, certainly:
Referring to Sonic Youth as “Phish for aging hipsters” is an awfully low blow.
