I don't want to be a soldier

Ha I can definitely appreciate lots of music. Radiohead are definitely a bit special. I always loved johnny greenwood and all the upside down stuff that surely was going through his head most of the time. I was just chatting to piss people off.
 
It's called eclecticism, a full appreciation of life's rich pageant, TD ;)

Thanks Swarm! Now listen to Piper at the Gates of Dawn, Ummagumma and Animals. Worlds apart from DSotM.
 
I will do that - was actually gonna request some suggestions.

Talking about appreciation, muse and radiohead are both bands that I have enormous respect for because I can see what they're doing, hell I can remember a point when I could play a fair bit of their stuff, but overall they just dont get played on my ipod, atleast not by me. That doesn't mean shit though. To quote max cavallera "taste is the enemy of art"

Have you listened to their live alive thing or whatever its called. Its fuckin heavy.

Technologic, high life, better faster fitter stronger (whatever thats called). Hard to find much in the way of flaws in their big tracks. Only criticism against them is that their albums do have a bit too much filler, to my ear atleast. Unlike Jake William's aka Rex the Dog's Rex the dog show. Every track a winner.

I love daft punk though, not many guys would take a pay cut in exchange for final cut over their album content. Paige Hamilton of Helmet is the only other guy I know of who did the same thing. I'm sure theres lots more but i only know about those two myself.


BTW, did someone mention Bowie? Thought this track fitting to the topic, if there is actually one.

Piper at the gates of dawn - nice one for giving me a full album to look up, not to mention one with syd barrett on, i've wanted to hear that guy forever. Yeah I'm only just into the third track but i've already heard enough to say that i would not have recognised it as pink floyd had someone played it to me. Very psychedelic, reminds me of the beatles and the doors in equal measure. Obviously Morrison was a barotone crooner so the doors connection is mainly from the organ and just the plain off kilter twisted fairground vibe (which you had to give atleast a good bit of credit to morrison for creating, via acid ofcourse - abit like old "cid" on this album i'm listening to right now i imagine), and the walking bassline set up too in places as well. The vocals definitely remind me of the beatles when they started getting heavy on the lsd too. Atleast i know now exactly which vocalist pete doherty has been trying to immitate all this time, i knew he was chasing someone just didn't know who until now. Have to admit i'm a bit patchy with my 60's/70's music. Apart from the doors, free and zeppelin i don't really know what i'm talking about. Actually add dylan and springsteen in, but they're miles apart from any of the other stuff anyway.
 
some of the syd basrret stuff was okay, some too twee.

i didn'y like ommagomma.

the doors were okay.

\\\\\\the beatles were gods, in their last 5 albums or so anyway, still sound amazing.

TG Gortillaz, yes please :)

I was interviewed last year by the BBC on Brighton beach during a weekend heatwave and said (after swimming back from the very cold sea..which hadn't warmed up at all) 'Pretty cold in the extremities.' I had drank 4 K ciders and was referring to my penis mainly. They broadcast it on TV and one of my mates saw it :D

4 K ciders! You're an animal. Its funny though cos it reminds me of when i used to live in brighton. Me and my mates would come out the club totally fucked up, as one tends to be at 3 am on the sea front post double vodka and redbull night, and just run and dive in the sea. The most sober of us would have the sense to atleast remove some clothing but unfortunately this usually wan't me. I do remember one time standing in a chip shop with my mate ordering food with each of us holding a pair of soaking wet boxer shorts in one hand while rummaging around in the back pockets for a wallet with the other. Alcohol abuse is no joke.

I'm a big doors fan, however i'm the first to admit that a good 50 percent of the material was seriously fucking weak. Just out of curiosity, what do you feel stopped them from being better than ok. I can perfectly appreciate why people might not warm to them 100%. Some write them off as basically just a commercial band that got attention because of the Morrison mystique. Some people find Morrison's voice a little too limited, basically just doing the same thing over the course of 6 albums - well not the sixth ofcourse (LA Woman, which i would put in the top 3 doors albums even though it was such a change up). Just curious really. I admit myself that I am not sure exactly what draws me so much to the doors, apart from the drunken organ and morrison's voice, so i wouldn't find the question easy to answer myself.

Arf =D, I think you mean 'Ummagumma'?:p

Try 'Atomheart Mother', there's a fine old mix of psychedelia, tweeness & prog rock on there (and all in a good way).


Who was it said that Pink Floyd "can't sing or play their instruments"? The 'can't sing' bit I'm forced to agree with, but you could never accuse them of not being able to play..
 
A couple more songs. This one hardly needs anything else said:

Eric Bogle also wrote this; but as a collector of as many versions of songs as possible (hey, a gal needs a hobby, alright =D), I think the Pogues' interpretation (on the album Rum, Sodomy and the Lash) is the best one:

This might have something to do with the fact of me hearing it once in my local head shop; then neither hearing it, nor being able to describe it well enough for anyone else to identify, for another three or four years; then finally rediscovering it again by chance, when someone with whom I was temporarily sharing accommodation had the same track on a walkman cassette.
