A thread for random thoughts about music

I hear Richard James lives in an underground bank vault. If so then thats very cool.

 

It's been years since I played anything by Arto Lindsay, especially his dissonant stuff from his early days. I'll have to rectify this situation today.

 

I think I appreciate metal. I just can't listen to it. Does nothing for me.

How long will it take for Phish to dissapear altogether? Can't happen soon enough for me. Perhaps they and their fans will dissolve if they ever take a bath. Which means they'll be around for a while now I suppose. That also apparently explains why they never DO take a bath.

Also how long will it take for that strange brand of commercial kiddie rap-metal crap (Lincon Park, etc) to dissapear altogether? Put Lincoln Park and Phish in the same barrel and shove them off on an excursion over the Niagra Falls please, will someone?

Sigh....when oh when will Belle and Sebastian and The Magnetic Fields inherit the earth? I'm counting the days.

 

You ever have those moments when you hear a song, think it is really good and briefly wonder who the band is....only to realize that it's a Beatles song you haven't heard in a while?

 

--I think I'm becoming an AFI fan
--Blackstar Galactica, please.

 

Missy's gaining the weight back, isn't she?

 

If REM had released Reveal in 1986 it would have been heralded as a masterpiece.


and Q Magazine is utter bollocks.

 

Is she suing the Neville Brothers too? They had a "thank you Miss Rosa" song a while back.

(I don't know why Outkast is being sued. But I'll agree it's stupid.)

 

If you had spent more than ten minutes with me over the last month, we would have gotten around to the greatness of Cafe Tecuba, how their latest album is their weakest, and how they are supreme distillation of an outrageous amount of musical influences.

You would have thought me obsessed.

 

The Super Furry Animals song "Juxtaposed with U" is perfect. It reminds me of the theme from The Love Boat and I love, love, love it.

 

I used to listen to a lot more of that stuff than I do now, but Slint still makes me happy. Mogwai and Godspeed! don't really do it for me, though.

 

early stuff = DNA, right? What's it like other than dissonant? I've only heard his recent (Brazilian) stuff and I love it.

 

Best thread in this forum in months.

Yes I know that the stations are really really really expensive, but why does every single goddamn commercial radio station in New York City suck balls? I know no one who likes any NYC station -- couldn't someone jump in here and totally dominate the market by playing things that people actually want to hear???

 

Sorry, but to answer that question would require a series of thoughts that are not random.

I have nothing to say and I am saying it.

 

Where did you see them? I am trying to figure when next they are in the states or Northern Mexico and I guess I am not looking at the right web site...

 

beck.

"So shave your face with some mace in the dark"

"and my time is a piece of wax falling on a termite, who's choking on the splinters"

Now I remember why I like Beck.

 

Soooo true....

 

I saw Korn's video for "Right Now" last night...WTF?!?!?!?!?
