Dr_Flash_Amazing Posted May 20, 2003 Author Posted May 20, 2003 Aren't you the one who was trying to spread that neo-hippie bluegrass plague in some other thread? Go light up some Nag Champa and fondle your String Cheese Incident bootlegs and space out on some really out-there jams or some shit. Leave that which rocks to those of us with enough taste to discern it, you arrhythmic drum-circling crystal lover. Quote
Fence_Sitter Posted May 20, 2003 Posted May 20, 2003 no..that wasn't my music...mine was the godspeed you! black emperor... the blue grass was distel32's contribution... Quote
Dr_Flash_Amazing Posted May 20, 2003 Author Posted May 20, 2003 OK. Well, DFA is Kazaaing some GSY!BE right now, so we'll see if you're bringing the goods or if you've got your head in the musical toilet. Although, to your credit, at least you're not pushing the latest Top 40 swill. Lessee, we got 'Drugs in Tokyo', 'Gathering Storm', and 'Lift Your Skinny Fists ...' . The first seems to be about 30 seconds of atonal violin noise and random thundery sound fx. Verdict: The second seems to be painfully slow piano plunking laid over random voices, etc. Oh, and maybe somebody poking at a keyboard? Verdict: And now for the third track, we have ... what's this? More keyboard/piano, and some faint trumpet (?), but it seems to be coalescing into an actual song (!). Some guitar ... man, it's sooooo sloooowwwww. Violins, now, but still really slow. It's the aural equivalent of waking up from anesthesia, but sans the euphoric morphinated buzz. Verdict: actual music this time, but still Oh, wait, there's some drums coming in now, but overall it sounds like the soundtrack to some kind of sappy romance film. That's some snooty high-concept art music you're into there, Fence-o. Whatever turns your crank, though. Quote
Fence_Sitter Posted May 20, 2003 Posted May 20, 2003 mabe something more up your alley... how about interpol? that might catch your fancy...but man...less than jake? woowee... Quote

Like you gotta hear the whole thing or it doesn't make sense? Quote
Fence_Sitter Posted May 20, 2003 Posted May 20, 2003 well the newest one is like that... but only for each track...like each track is like 17 m inutes and is baisically it s own entity...i dont really like the other albums as much either... Quote

OK; now Kazaaing some Interpol, let's see what we come up with. And if one happens to fancy pogo-inducing goodtime ska punk with blazing buttrock guitar solos, one would find none better than LTJ. Plus how many bands out there actually give a fuck about their fans anymore? Quote

E-rock Posted May 20, 2003 Posted May 20, 2003 Hey Fence, I'm a fan of Godspeed as well. It's okay, I think it's an acquired taste. Few people are really gonna dig it on the first listen. Good call on Interpol too. I was just listening to that while grocery-getting this morning. Quote
Dr_Flash_Amazing Posted May 20, 2003 Author Posted May 20, 2003 This Interpol band sounds kinda like the soundtrack to a funeral composed by the Talking Heads after snorting ground up Smiths records with Frank Black. Or something like that. Sounds like something they'd listen to down at La Cruda. They've got a thing for this type of brainy indie music, and all that new-school garagey rock and stuff. Fuck, man, this song does not need to be 5+ minutes long! There's a reason punk bands keep their three-chord flailfests limited to around 2 minutes a pop. There's only so much you can do with it and still have it hold your attention. (That's 'Song 8', by the way.) (Techno should likewise take note. Do we need to hear "funk soul brother check it out now" repeated 6,000 times in a row to the same beat? No. That Limey bitch Moby (so what if he's American; he should be British ) could've clipped that one down to about 45 seconds and gotten his point across. But no, he dragged it, and all his other repetetive wankfests, out to interminable length.) OK, this song 'Modern World' sounds kinda like the Clash, except they love the USA instead of being bored with it. And maybe a dash of Doorsy atmosphere. Significantly less mopey and funereal than the last track, though. Definitely far more listenable than GSY!BE, but not likely to wind up in the Dr. Flash Amazing Compact Disc Compendium anytime soon.

erik Posted May 20, 2003 Posted May 20, 2003 FENCE, I LIKE ALL TYPES OF MUSIC. CEPT TECHNO AND TRACE SHIT........AND COUNTRY AND TOP 40. THO I AM ALWAYS OPEN TO LISTENING TO NEW THINGS, BUT IF THEY SUCK I AM GONNA CALL IT HOW I SEE IT (HEAR IT IN THIS CASE) Quote

E-rock Posted May 20, 2003 Posted May 20, 2003 Dude, I don't know very many people who are avid listeners of electronic music who like moby. Check out: Delarosa and Asora Prefuse 73 (same guy as above) Plaid Amon Tobin Boards of Canada Quote
