nothing really rocked my cock out last year, except maybe the Outkast, but im even tiring of that. |
|
|
|
i can sum up: i'm feeling grouchy again. |
The 2003 albums I acquired: in no particular order Primus - Animals should not try to act like people - EP of new material accompanying the DVD: I got this for xmas. I really like this EP. Nothing against Brian Mantia, but it's just not Primus without Tim Alexander. Hopefully a good preview of things to come. Radiohead - Hail to the Thief: I still have some trouble getting deeply into this band. However, I think it's definitely the best of their albums that I have heard. Pretty good, but I think they haven't hit their prime yet. Jane's Addiction -Strays: Not their best album. There is nothing wrong with it, really. But it just lacks an edge. I think maybe it's Navarro's use of countless overdubs. He's not very good at it.If they make another album, the producer should lock them in a studio with only an 8-track and let'em go. I'm sure that if they recorded this album that way, it would have been way better. OutKast -Speakerboxxx/The Love Below: pretty damn excellent. Best hip hop I've heard all year. Makes me keen to see what they do next though. Coheed and Cambria - In Keeping Secrets of Silent Earth:3 The more I listen to this album, the more I like it. The guitar work is great, the vocals are great, the songs are fantastic. Anthrax - We've Come For You All: It's a good Anthrax album. Nothing groundbreaking or anything. I think they are trying to figure out where to go next though, and are trying to get their stride back. The Heavils: these guys are nuts. They make their own versions of electric guitars and basses. Very aggressive. kind of reminiscent of Duh meets Nomeansno meets QOTSA. or not. Metallica - St. Anger: much better than anything since the Black album, but that's not saying much. Hate the production, think it's a total insult to Jason Newsted that the first album they make with out him, you can hear the bass. I do like "Frantic" but the rest is just ho-hum. Some one should lock these guys in a room with "...And Justice For All" until they get the point. Iron Maiden - Dance of Death: Not as good as their last album, but still really solid work. fantastic guitar work. Nice use of strings. Great driving music. The Devin Townsend Band - Accelerated Evolution: I can't stop listening to this album. This guy has the best voice in rock right now. The music is really good too. Voivod: This was the album I couldn't stop listening to for the first half of 2003. But I'm an immense Voivod fan. Jason Newsted is a great addition to this band. I wish they would come through here on tour though. Killing Joke: This is another album i had a hard time putting away. Very aggressive, more than I expected. A lot of heavy bands out there now could learn a lot from these guys. Dave Grohl's drumming is so damn fierce, it's nearly the highlight of the album, but that as usual goes to Geordie's guitar playing. I want that man's tone. We're a Happy Family: A Tribute to Ramones There are way too many stinkers on this for a tribute album, but there are some great versions as well, including "Havana Affair" by RHCP, "I Believe in Miracles" and "Daytime Dilemma" by Eddie Vedder and Zeke, "Do You Remember Rock and Roll Radio?" by Kiss, "Something to Believe in" by The Pretenders, and the highlight, "Return of Jackie and Judy" by Tom Waits. Ziggy Marley - Dragonfly: Pretty interesting foray away from straight up reggae into what sounds a lot like stuff my friend Bernie writes - R&B influenced pop with reggae undertones. |
|
British Sea Power - The Decline of British Sea Power: An album I bought by accident. Oh happy accident. Spider, have you acquired this album yet? You really need it. Charlie Hunter Quintet - Right Now Move: pretty standard Charlie Hunter stuff. The more people he adds to his group, the less interesting his music becomes. But it's still damn good anyway Pila Seca - Afrodisiaco: this is the funk band Kazu and I saw in a bar in San Miguel. They rocked our socks off, so we bought the album and discovered that they have a real strong disco influence that doesn't come off in the live set. Great booty-shaking music. So far, there is only one album I am looking forward to in 2004, and that's Probot, Dave Grohl's thrash metal project. I hear it's the SHIT. |
its POSSUM |
Am downloading 4 Devin Townsend Band songs as we speak and am listening to the intro to "Away." Will look for Centuries of sin. |
My problem with lists like these is I can't remember when I acquired what. And what year [whatever I'm thinking of] was released. Like Beck's Sea Change. When did that come out? I dig that. |
|
buttface. every day, week, year there's a new crop of bands. just like there's a constant flow of barely legals getting into porn. some are raunchy, some have excellent tits, some seem to really enjoy themselves. at the end of the day, it's just more of the same. fucking on film. strap on that there jammy pac if hypnotize won’t do stings you like a heart attack van winkle say fuck you never made me no supper quite like she needed to so strap on that there jammy pac it’s time to pay your due. 2003 was musically anemic. |
* indicates the best song off its respective album "slow me down" * "Suicide" "Storm" "Traveller" "Life" "Night" * "Down and Under" * "Nobodys Here" "Canada" "Christeen" "Bad Devil" (This is probably his most popular song among the most audiences) "War" * "Colonial Boy" "Jupiter" "Kingdom" * from other Devin Townsend releases Strapping Young Lad "SYL" * "Cod metal King" "Detox" * "Underneath the Waves" "AAA" "Dirt Pride" "Bring on the Young" * "All Hail the New Flesh" "Oh My Fucking God" "Room 429" "In The Rainy Season" from the album he did with Steve Vai "In My Dreams With You" from Punky Bruster (fake punk band, comedy album) "Fake Punk" |
Actually, I'd classify 2003 as the best year in years and years. You'd just never know unless you have the proper word of mouth and dont listen to the radio. I have the word of mouth thing from another msg board i'm on, and I go to pitchforkmedia every other day and get a song based on what they review (even if its a a bad review, pitchfork are snobs)... they have plenty of free music downloads on their site. its like having a subscription to CMJ without the crappy magazine. |
i think i've allowed a certain perception of rock music to creep into my head which makes it hard for me to listen to a new band or album without this perception taking over and ruining it for me. and that perception is that it's just a bunch of guys wanking off with each other and their instruments. "look at me! i can make my guitar go wheedly-wheedly! i can make the drums go dukka crash dukka doom! i can make my words go whoooo-groan-woooo! c'mon, man! buy into our spiel so we can traipse around the country and world and pick up chicks! on your dime! la lala lala. . ." something like that. |
janes addiction white stripes patti griffin (live) galactic spearhead drive by truckers |
The Distillers? more than making instruments go whirly whirrrr its like there's some underground competition with "punk" band singers and who can make the fat pouty lip snarl more than the others. I want to punch her everytime she pops on to the screen. I know Im a cyncical bastard. I see dopes out and about, girls who look like brittany and I want to call out "Hey, Brittany. Hey! Stupid!" And then i see people that look like that Stefani chick from that snooze group. And its like...."Hey, Stefani! Get a haircut!" now that i think about it, there wasnt shit that came out this last year that i know of that really rocked my socks off. people don't try anymore. im grumpy for sure. |
Outkast "Speakerboxxx/Love Below" Lifesavas "Spirit in Stone" Yeah Yeah Yeahs "Fever to Tell" Raveonettes "Chain Gang of Love" Ween "Quebec" (My first day at Hollywood I was singing 'Zoloft' while a coworker was doing Britney Spears songs) Underworld Soundtrack Blur "Think Tank" Hrm. I will have to dwell on this then return. |
I have no problem with the Distillers because they are Hole without the guilt. I could give two shits if Brody snarls or if shes punk or how tall her hair is. The album is a straight ahead rock record, and a good one. |
|
She's like Courtney Love, but good. And possibly herpes free. |
why does that fit. Hole has always sucked ass. But im still fucking grumpy. I still think no one tries very hard and our standards are water thin. The Unicorns rowlf? see? standards gone out the fuckin window. Hey, check this video out. Im curious what you think. http://punkcast.com/257/ Speaking of grumpy, have i mentioned how I want to destroy the polyphonic spree and all 75 versions of that god damn happy song that is being overkilled everyfuckin where? |
|
rowlf, you know how you hate kids? that's kinda how i feel about 18 to 24 yr olds. especially scenesters. the ones i know and like are ok, it's the crowds en masse that i loathe. |
Its like kinder core with casios. Hell, you have to wonder if they pass out scratch and sniff stickers at this show. I dont the obssession with acting like you're in elementary school again, when it comes to music. |
dave. I wish you could hear some of my friend Shannon's rants on detroit scenesters...you guys could be friends. I was pleased with the ratio of scenesters to non-scenesters at the Elliot Smith tribute I went to on Saturday. Not a good place to play hipster bingo though. |
I recently discovered this guy that puts out music under the name Four Tet. The music combines organic and electronic instruments in a really nice way -- the sound is warmer than most other electronic acts, and the songs are good and pretty. ("My Angel Rocks Back and Forth" is a good example.) Here is a review/bio and some other downloads and videos. I'm also really excited to finally download an album (Edsel's "Everlasting Belt Co.") that I've been looking for for 7 years! I'm almost afraid to listen to it. |
|
the "punk" scene is so safe now. the same types who liked journey and the scorps back in the 80s are listening to the strokes and jet now. all the tats and piercings and carefully scuzzy appearances are so fucking contrived. the scene used to be a refuge from normalcy. now, it's a shrine to it. analogous to the mega-church incorporateds peddling salvation through donations, or republicans promising a better america to poor, southern baptist types, the scene today delivers a mass-marketed, homogenized deviance peddled by reptilian svengalis . . . gaaaaah! stop me! |
Its like kinder core with casios. " I met them at the Toronto show they did with Hot Hot Heat. Was this show you speak of in December? I think the Toronto show was the end of their tour. They talked about how they got sick from the French Kicks and how it had been hurting their shows. Either way, their live show even at its best probably cant match their album. their album has lots of little weird things going on that make it good. yeah theres keyboards, but theres also like, recorders, whistles, off key singing, coughing, bizarre rocking, bits of falsetto. Theres no way they could capture how good their album is with just 3 people. Kindercore? you have no idea what you speak of. If you like Ween, Beck, or Weezer's Pinkerton album, you will like the Unicorns' album. Great lyrics too. http://www.pitchforkmedia.com/record-reviews/u/unicorns/who-will-cut-our-hair-when-were-gone.shtml I cant stand scenesters. I dont go to shows much anymore because of them. I think I make more gig posters than I go to gigs. They're the types of people with the Sonic Youth tees who have all the Sonic Youth albums... but dont listen to Sonic Youth. And I hate them because most of them are in denial of how emo they are. I am in agreement that one of them can be ok, but once they're in a group it becomes a contest. I was at this one party recently and there was like, only two scenesters there, and I was talking to one of my friends about some bands he should search for (because he tends to look to me for such things and i cant talk about much else with him)... and all this one guy can do is butt in and get loud and talk about how this sucks or that sucks and he has such bizarre reasoning, all of which had nothing to do with the actual music. and I think most of us are more scenester than we think we are. I can see snobbery amongst us all, myself included. I think what makes the difference between a scenester and a hardcore fan is whether or not you're trying to spread around stuff you like, or if you're just using your record collection to play dressup. If you think of your Rapture CD as you think of your trucker hat, its likely that Rapture CD will be in a used CD store within a few months. if you spend as much money on your clothes as you do your CDs, you have a problem. if you agree with everything Pitchforkmedia says rather than half the time going "ah, you're an asshole", you have a problem. I'm thinking of moving more and more into the Andrew WK look. I dont like to shower and I dont like to do laundry. I shall make him my road guard. Trying hard? I think they're trying hard now than they were in the mid-late 90s. its harder to make a name with the state of radio, I think most of the good groups that have broken through have stepped it up a notch to survive. |
i'm waiting for lali puna and mum's new albums coming out in the spring. |
I meant to say, musicsnob, not scenester. Totally diff'rent |
|
|
I listened to about 5-6 Unicorn songs on their website, songs from Alien 8? Look at their site and tell me they dont make a serious effort to be 8 years old? Meh. Im so out of the loop, admittedly, so what im hearing is heavily filtered these days. LA is a buzz with a new radio station. Indie 103. There is no DJ, and the commercials are next to non existant. I think they sell 12-15 second spots an hour and do them all at once. They only do station ID as required by the FCC, once every 15 minutes or so. Everyone is going nuts, because this station is playing the shit. The thing, its owned by the corp. Clear Channel. Im not sure who they are though. But its a radio station that is making headway by playing an ecclectic mix (much like many people's record collection, mine included). You could be hearing vintage b-52's one minute, X the next, television the next, de la soul the next, johnny cash after that. total hipster, scenester radio station. i wish i knew my way around the news groups because my time and funds are just so limited, i need new music. you know what ive been rockin out to lately? someone gave me this erykah badu cd for xmas? come to find out it was made in 2000. It rocks. but its old. i was a grump yesterday because i had a minor tummy virus that kept me in the can more than i wanted to be and I was cranky for about 7 other reasons of which are too personal to go into here. |
too personal for sorabji? bah. |
yeah, but just saying "kindercore" is really selling them short IMHO I didnt like the album the first listen, but now I'd probably even rank it higher than you see above... Its especially better on headphones, where you can hear all the 'secret' things going on in the background |
|
|
ya ever heard of a theme? when i get my business site up, it will look much like that. :) |
|
or you could rock the casbah san diego style transcendant southen-rock vs bipolar pop songs, both might need a spot on y2k3 lists |
|
scott herren used to be in our band in atlanta. talented mother fucker for sure. anything he does is solid. |
|
(pitchfork gets more lip service) |
i had heard he was the shit big time, since he parted from us and we left the city. last i heard, several years ago, he was working a lot with Chicago's John McIntire, of Tortoise. Let me check out some of these links. |
i need to hear the new fall lp. |
i should drop him a line. |
whats mpc? holy cow poster children are still around. |
i like the russian futurists, found on pitchfork downloads. at least i did when i heard them. things may have changed. |
but again, im starved but im easy. but im certainly going to go find some prefuse73. scott, like my friend "christopher exit" (the group ghost exits, whose video i linked a day or two ago, above) have a good taste for hip hop and know how to infuse it into their generally white, homogenized up bringings. way more dope than any of the mainstream hip hop people are doing. so thanks, again, for being the catalyst to help me pull my head out of my ass. sometimes it so easy to just turn off, but im thinking im missing a lot, though its easy for me to say im not. i just need to try a little. |
one these a Rhodes electric piano, a far out italian farfisa and a xylephone. thats a cool reference site. i was able to locate the synth and moog we still have. thats funny, i just downloaded 3 Russian Futurist songs and wrote them on a post-it that im taking with me to the store. |
Didnt a few of them leave the band the other day? make sure you get the Tangiers mp3 from pitchfork |
I ended up with sleepy jackson because i think the wife will dig em too. she cant stand blonde redhead, in particular the vocals, so i was sure she would be crazy about denali. too bad my frickin CDRom decided to die on me. |
review: http://www.pitchforkmedia.com/record-reviews/b/broken-social-scene/you-forgot-it-in-people.shtml listen to songs here: http://www.arts-crafts.ca/bss/youforgot.html |
http://www.thesocialregistry.org/ apparently, one of the founders of the Social Registry started Table of Elements label. A label that im unsure if exists anymore but came out some with some really studios experiemental shit by faust, tony conrad, john cale and john fahey. |
the forty fives are playing on the 30th at the echo lounge. Are those the guys you wanted me to go up to and say that patrick and nico-the-hottie-red-head in LA say hello? |
maybe they will remember. maybe not. give it a shot. or not. you might feel kind of stupid. those guys are touring machines so they probably see a lot of people and its been nearly two years since we last saw them. but go see them, they rock in a clean honest way. my friends band Black Love there is playing on Sat 1/31. All this talk of new music, shows, and my recent thoughts of playing music sure has me nostalgic. i really need to get that carpet rolled out and some time on my kit again. but its like i have X amount of time in a day. If i do that. that cats go hungry. if i decide to do a couple hours in the darkroom, the bathroom goes uncleaned for another few days. arghhhh |
Where is Black Love playing? Can I say hi to your friend in that band without feeling stupid? |
i've wished lately that i didn't care about music. y'know, take it or leave it. whatever. not worry about missing something great or being let down by not finding it yet. *sigh* i have some bss somewhere. i should dig it up. i put this on the list that was eaten. fuck that reviewer, it's a great album. what does he expect, fired up? dumbass. sometimes, the best music just provides atmosphere. background sounds to do other things to. or to do nothing to. it doesn't give, it doesn't take, it just hangs out with you. |
ok, that's all. goodnight. |
Patrick, my brother's got a few Denali albums and they're decent but boring if you listen to them more than a couple times. Engine Down is better. |
|
has anyone ever heard of Supagroup? they're a cock rock band. |
It sounded familiar when i went to the record store yesterday. They had it qued on the sampler. I listen to a few songs. Sounded ok. And its just that. Ok. Nice background music. Im gonna hit the store again today. dave do you have prefuse73's first album. I listened to that several times, late last night playing playstation. its super nice. |
yeah, patrick. i think i like "vocal studies. . ." a bit more than "one word extinguisher. that was the first thing i heard that got me into the whole scott herren thing. so keep it tight as can be, a'iight? |
i kinda like the few songs they have pitchfork |
if only this fucking CDrom worked. |
obviously, you all want me to starve. I love explosions in the sky, Patrick, how do you like the album? |
These are some of me my favorites though. In no order whatsoever. 1.Superjoint Ritual-A Lethal Dose off American Hatred. (This album makes the last few Pantera's sound weak at the knees. The lyric sheet reads like it was written by Charles Manson. Scary, brutal stuff). 2.NERD- In Search Of- (This album is hella funky. Like an updated P-Funk with Hip-hop sensibilitys. I've been jamming to it non-stop). 3. A perfect circle-13th Step. (I still maintain that taken as whole piece it's powerful and moving. At least to me. And all the other addicts.) 4.Radiohead- Hail to the Thief (Long album, pleanty of different moods. Great for chilling and being a sad bastard man.) 5. Serart- (Serj from SOAD's side project with Arto Boyician. It's moving, epic, ethic and wonderful. Like a new age SOAD.) |

i actually went outside last night. took cleo and went to tacoma to see the decemberists. they sound exactly like the albums, which is cool because cleo really didn't want to go because she thinks live music never sounds like the recording. it's true -- britney spears, no doubt, etc. don't sound at all like the album. this was a pretty good show. i was impressed by the drummer. most girl rock drummers are all wap wap wap wap and whale on the cymbals to hide their fuckups. she wasn't like, all technical and shit like herb or brain from primus, but she was on time and showed finesse and skill even while singing backup. and it wasn't just wap wap wap wap. cleo fell asleep ½ way through but it was getting late and i kind of expected to have to take her to my brother's house anyway. i'm glad i went. thanks to agatha for urging me on. she tried to see them the night before in portland but it was sold out. |
dave based on the one tune i dig the new lali puna, neither more nor less than the old stuff. though the old stuff was cool because i dont listen to a lot of the electronica bleep beep doop whoop whoop shit, at least not like that and like it, especially when its good. sat. we were listening to see seekonk, i was helping the wife with this arts and crafts project, a tapestry for eva's room and she said it reminded her of TeenBeat bands like Unrest and Eggs. In otherwords, inmature. And I understand why she is saying that and at times, it seems thats the bigges,t most noticable difference in music i listen to. A sense of maturity. Listening to the And You Will Know Us By The Trail of the Dead album this morning, thats what I kept thinking. Immature. You can tell by the drum beats, by the guitars and drowned out vocals. And thats cool, I like it. It brings an angst to mind, a pilot light that i need to keep lit in me at all times. Sometimes though I wish I didnt notice it, because it makes me feel old. |
|
Air is fantastic. I like Her Space Holiday too. Ethel isn't bad, neether. |
|
|
|
|
|
what the fuck is up with soulseek and why didn't i know about it before? i thought it was just another gnutella client. it's actually the best thing since napster. |
cherry blossom girl |
|
|
good, but sad video. i see what you mean, spider. i like it for the quality of the files. |
|
|
after you scan it for viruses, of course. |
|
pitchfork has some nice things to say about it as well. sounds like my kind of gig. |
Múm: "Weeping Rock, Rock" Welcome to Iceland, my son. Everyone here is babies. Come, let me to show you the elfin twynklefaerie. She is sing la-la from amongst the dew-droppes in (gasp!) moss-covered cave! Is so delightful! She whisper to gay children of Sigur Rós, who is making out with love in... (gasp) uhhh.... snow-covered... hillside! Listen, fair song. Ssssshhhhhhhhhh! Can you hear? laaa-la-luh-la... laaaaaa-la-luh-la... laaaaaaaaahhh... If you can to make her emerge from cave, she may restore your hearts. Faerie, come. Come... laaa-la-luh-la... laaaaaa-la-luh-la... laaaaaaaaahhh... And what is this we hear, which is accompanying krystal-throated nymph? Clacking of drums and magick of flutes and drone of organ... eh, is okay. This we have heard many times before. But the faerie... she is unique. laaa-la-luh-la... laaaaaa-la-luh-la... laaaaaaaaahhh... She closens! Touch her, just to touch her! She is unseen by so many. Gentle now, gently. OH GOD THAT FUCKING FREAK NOISE!!!! JESUS CHRIST SHUT IT UP!!! SHUT IT UP!!!!! OAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHRRRRR!!!!!! Whaaaa, do not to stab faerie in thee throat! Whyyyyy! [Ryan Schreiber; January 28th, 2004] everyone here is babies! |

i should like to recommend "ten" by clouddead. |
stellastar reminds me of all the stuff I used to listen to in high school. Sort of an amalgam of whatever it was they were playing on the alternative station between the years 1989-1993. I might liken them to interpol in that way, but interpol feels a little more...I don't know...solid. I have Interpol's CD, but I wouldn't bother with stellastar. |
Their other CD "feel good lost" is good too, but its not the same. its almost all instrumental, somewhat atmospheric music. Could be considered disappointing to most. |
i think some spiritualized in order. uh oh. i think hear my teething slobber/snot monster singing to her self in her crib. |
|
|
|
i'm not yet convinced. |
|
|
but-- the real new fall lp. mark e. smith in effect. |
its a new format for 'band' i guess... it would be neat to see one band that was committed to stay around for decades and decades with members constantly coming in and out with no one person as a constant over the whole period... i guess similar to Saturday Night Live's changing casts... "not ready for stadium rock players" |
|
|
|
|
I'M A SNOB Evanescence makes my blood boil... mainly because there are two bands from Europe that are 'goth-metal' that do that same formula. The Gathering, and Lacuna Coil. The Gathering have pretty much eliminated loud guitars in the last couple years though... and I guess Lacuna Coil aren't going to break through with a single called "Heavens A Lie" when Linkin Park Plus Female are doing whats supposed to be a spiritual thing |

|
whoa. cool video here... Shynola is quickly becoming THE source for videos |
It has a sample from "The Thin Red Line." ("This great evil, where's it come from?" etc) |
check out Surfjan Stevens' "holland" are weapons "fuck you pay me" the books "lemon of pink" |
tell your screen settings (800x600..etc) and i shall make a link. |
|
:) "Quite mild, yes" |
|
What's Patrick holding? |
He's trying to make polite conversation. thus, the tie. it's from the episode where Spongebob tries to have a big party but gets locked out of his house halfway through. It's very funny, and you get to see Patrick do this crazy dance. eee hee heee |
|
|
|
I also got The Postal Service - Give Up. Its the side project of Death Cab for Cutie, and I think I actually like them more. Great shit, took me forever to find because everyones picking up the copies soon as they hit the shelves. Sub Pop has been going through one hell of a resurgance as of late. |
speaking of remixes, boards of canada did a great remix of dead dogs two, by clouddead. right here cibo matto are super cool. |
there, now it's even more bitchy. |
|
|
|
what's next? mini-gwar? |
!!! how do you pronounce "!!!" it's "chick chick chick" or "knock knock knock" or any clicking or knocking noise three times. Weird. Anyways, go to insound.com and under the mp3 section find "chick chick chick" and download the song "the step" it is fan-foogoo-tastic |
when it comes back online, splorch splorch splorch. semillama and scooter, are you guys yoopers? |
|
|
And Soulseek's still down. |
I'm going out and picking up Robert Randolph's cd this weekend. |
|
|
Fudgies wear sandles, visit Mackinaw Island and are generally annoying to "Yoopers." I've now been up here 15 years, so that's better thn half my life in the UP. I enjoy the serenity and quiet, the fact that you could drink the water right out of the lake if you had too as well as keeping the small music scene alive and active. By the way Sem, did you check out my album yet? Any favorites? Great to see you man. In don't enjoy the dark, the cold (-39 windchill!), the isolation, no decent movie theaters or indie record stores within 100 miles. And the mosquites and blackflies suck also. |
Of course, you could do that as well. His mailing address is up on SUBSITE: www.subgenius.com I'm pretty confident that it would get played on the national radio show. |
|
|
smoosh used to have their good songs on their web site, and now they less good ones. is the postal service that record I think is really awful? the one where the death cab singer does songs about how his dad left his family and how much he dislikes his ex-girlfriend and stuff? |

I recommend people check out some of the videos on this site, esp. "sweetsmoke" by Mr. Scruff |
I drew the card "Go See Broken Social Scene Go Directly to Broken Social Scene Do Not Pass Go Do Not Collect $200" It's tuesday. I will be able to get all my work done. I don't have any presentations or anything I have to be "alert" for the next day. And if that were the case, they are also having an early in-store appearance at the record store up the street from where I live. It's like I'm destined to see them or something. |
Apparently "marketfresh" is the song to look for. |
So I got the proper CD, but the liner notes are for Delirivm Cordia by Fantomas. I was utterly confused by the juxtoposition of wicker chairs and pictures of surgery. |
as a younge thing, i got a Megadeth album, but the cd actually had all classical music on it. The artwork was all correct. |
So I sent the thing back to the label with a nice note saying in essence, damn, I knew all their songs sound the same, but this is ridiculous. The label sent me the correct CD and about 7 band posters, which was nice. |

I really like it and as soon as I can, I'm going to get the one that you recommended Spider. It reminds me of Philip Glass...not because it sounds like him, which I wouldn't really know because I don't own much of his...but it reminds me of what I wish he sounded like when I do hear him. Does that make ANY sense? Maybe not. I'm severely musically challenged so don't pay any attention.... |
